The North Wales Chronicle and Advertiser for the Principality

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CARNARVONSHIRE BOROUGHS, GENTLEMEN, The Debate upon the Foreign IMllcy ot Government has now reached a point at which it is im- probable that any fresh arguments can be adduced on either side of the question, and having decided to abstain from voting in the coming division, I think it due both to you and to myself to take this opportunity of offering, to you a short explanation of the course which I have felt bound to pursue on this occasion, and to my own position with regard to political questions generally. When at the Election in 1859 I offered myself as a Candidate for yonr suffrages, the political opinions which I professed were those of a Liberal Conservative-a class of politicians which, as is generally understood, and as the name itself implies, cannot be identified with either of the two broad divisions of party, but which differs from the extremes of both, acting to some extent independently of either. The question upon which at that Election the sense of the country was taken was the question of 'Reform' and a full consideration of the general aspect of politics at the time led me to believe that, although wholly agieeing with neither party, my own convictions would be found, upon the whole, more in accordance with the policy which the party of Lord Derby, so far as I could foresee the course of affairs, were likely to pursue, than with that of their political opponents. Experience has shewn me that I was mistaken in this belief. The questions with which the present Parliament has had to deal since it first assembled may be reduced to four classes. 1. The question, of Reform, which was the party question or touch-stone of the last Election. 2. Questions of Financial Policy, involving directly or indirectly thc principlcof Free Trade.. 3. Church and Education questions, involving the principle of religious liberty. 4. Questions of Foreign Policy, involving the right of nations to choose their own form of Go- vernment, and manage their own affairs with- out external interference. The 1st Question, that of Reform, was disposed of at an early period 'of the,present Parliament. The Go- vernment measure proved so defective as to meet with but little support even from their own adherents, and no other has since been brought forward. Upon the three remaining classes of public questions which have since engaged the attention of Parliament, I found, as affairs progressed, that the policy adopted by the present Opposition was less and less in accordance with my own convictions, whilst that of the present Go- vernment was, in the main, such as I could approve and support. Upon all Church and Education questions more especially this was the case, a prominence being given to them by their adoption as party questions, which they had not previously obtained. Upon all questions relating to Foreign Affairs it be- came more and more evideut to me in the course of events, that the policy of the Opposition was irreconci!e- ably at variance with my own sympathies and convic- tions, but as no attempt was made by them as a party to take the sense of the House upon it by a substantive motion, no practical difficulty has until now arisen out of this difference of opinion. With reference to the present question, my reasons for withholding my support from Mr, Disraeli's motion are briefly these. Both parties in the House of Com- mons, and I believe in the Country also, are agreed that neither the honour nor the interest of England require that she should go to war single-handed for the defence of Denmark against an iniquitous aggression. If our endeavours to maintain peace have not been successful, the respouBibility of failure rests, in my opinion, with the other nations upon whose joint action, aa parties to the Treaty of 1852, we were entitled to rely, and whose co-operation would have made war impossible. If, in reliance upon this co-operation, language has been held stronger than would otherwise have been prudent or justifiable, the blame, I think, must attach to those whose desertion of the cause of peace could not be fore- seen, and whose selfish policy has placed us in our present isolated position. Nor do I believe that the influence and consideration of this country have been lowered by the Government, who, speaking in her name, have denounced and stigmatised a great public wrong which they were yet not willing, unsupported, to prevent by armed intervention. A definitive issue, however, having been thus raised by a resolution eensuring the Foreign Policy of the Govern- ment, in which I found myself unable to concur, I felt that the divergence of opinion, to the growth of which I have referred, had at length reached a point at which a distinct explanation of my own course of action, past and future, was due to the Constituency whom I repre- sent; and in addressing to them this explanation, I should also have felt it my duty by replacing in their hands the trust reposed in me, to afford them an oppor- tunity of selecting, if they thought fit to do so, a candidate whose views were more in conformity with their own. This Parliament, however, is now nearly approaching the term of its legal existence, and an election at the present moment would be productive of great and need- less inconvenience to the Constituency. I do not think, therefore, that I should be justified in taking this step. It may be a few weeks only, it cannot be many months, before a dissolution must occur. And I shall IIwait that event in the hope that the decision at which I have arrived will meet with your ap- proval, and in the conscientious belief that I have adop- ted, under circumstances of much difficulty, the only course which I could honourably pursue. I remain, GENTLEMEN, Your obedient Servant, CHARLES WYNNE FINCH. 18, Lowndes Square, July 7th.

jflmpevwl hïrïÜïuiiut. HOUSE OF LORDS-THOKSDAV. Tho business transacted was of a formal character. The Clerks of the Peace Removal Bill, the Greek Loau Bill, and the Pilotage Confirmation Bill, were read a third time and passed. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY. The debate on Mr. Disraeli s motion was resumed by Mr. LA YARD, Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, who complained that the Opposition had, in order to strengthen their case, unscrupulously garbled and falsi- fied extracts from the diplomatic correspondence, and that they had mainly directed their attack against Earl Russell instead of against the Cabinet, each member of which was equally responsible with the noble earl for the policy which had been pursued. He denied that Earl Kussell had threatened the German Powers and given injudicious advice to Denmark. On the contrary, the noble earl had simply warned the Germans that their policy could prove disastrous to themselves; and if Denmark had followed the advice given to her she would not have been in her present unfavourable posi- tion. Mr. HARDY indignantly repelled the charge that the Opposition had garbled extracts from the diplomatic correspondence, and he characterised the statements ot Mr. I.,tyard as calumnious. Mr. LAYARD moved that Mr. Hardy's words be taken down, but the Speaker ruled that they were not out of order. A noisy discussion followed, Lord Palmerston and the Chancellor of the Exchequer contending that Mr. Hardy's words were unparliamentary, while Sir. J. Pa- kington and Mr. D. Osborne supported the decision of the Speaker. Mr. LAYAIID ultimately expressed regret that he had used expressions offensive to the Opposition, and Mr. HARDY proceeded with his speech. He dealt particularly with Mr, Horsman's charge that tha Con- servative party had neglected its duty by not having criticised the foreign policy of the Government before the Danish question reached a crisis. The hon. gentle- man reminded the house that the Government had in- variably declined to produce the official correspondence on the subject while negotiations were pending, and that Lord Palmerston had repeatedlyxasked honourable members to refrain from discussing tne question during the sitting of the Conference. Mr. G. P. BKNTISCK alluded to a report that a compact had been entered into by certain leaders of the Opposi- tion and the Roman Catholic members, whereby the latter were pledged to support Mr. Di8raeli's motion. He strongly condemned such an arrangement, and de- clared that if the report was true, he would vote for the Government. Mr. COGAN asserted that the report was untrue, and called upon Mr. Bentinck to state upon. what au- thority he had repeated it in the house. Mr. Bentinck appears to have taken no notice of the challenge, as Mr. Cogan was followed by Mr. PEACOCK, who supported the motion. The ATTORNEY-GESKRAI., in apologising the motion, said that the Government had never given to tho Danes a promise to go to war on their behalf in fact, tlie offi- cial correspondence showed that the Danish Government had complained because her Majesty's ministers refused to give such a promise. The hon. gentleman contended that if the Government had erred in refusing to go to war on behalf of Denmark, it was the duty of the Oppo- sition to say so. Lord J MANNERS supported the motion. On the motion of Mr. OSBORNE, the debate was ad- journed until Friday evening, it being understood that it will then close and the division take place.

I KUTHLV The first of July is past, and no sign of the opening of the railway to Corwen. Many persons begin to think there is something very strange. The enterprising pro- prietor of the G'vrddelwe.'n coach offered to pay a fair price for the privilege of running a train each way. Will the directors neither take the responsibility them- selves, nor let others ? Perhaps the fable of the dog in the manger is not known in Wales. BOARD OF GUARDIANS.—The fortnightly meeting of the Guardians of the Ruthin Union was held on Monday last; Air. James Maurice presided, and Hev. David Ro- berts fulfilled the duties of vice-chairman. The busi- ness was of the usual routine character. Number of paupers iu tho Workhouse, 88; corresponding week last year, 97. Vagrants relieved since last Board day, 35.

A RUNAWAY TRAIN.-On the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, on Friday, a luggage train consisting of 30 or 40 waggons, started from Sheffield towards Dunford. At Dunford there is a deep incline, and while the train was ascending this portion of the road, a coupling chain broke, and the waggons, becom- ing detached, ran back. The guard in charge of tho train telegraphed to Penislone, with a view to having the runaway waggons shunted on the down line. The message was received three minutes after the mail train from Manchester had passed, and the waggons went forward in the same track. The mail train reached Sheffield first, and was shunted out of the way just as the waggons rushed through the station at a very rapid rate. The wapgous continued their course unchecked until they reached the Dunnall banks, about five miles from Sheffield. Here there was an incline, and they were brought to a stand after running about 20 miles' Fortunately, no damage was done either to person or property.

NEWS OF THE WEEK. The Queen and the Princess .Beatrice went to London on Saturday, and after lunching with the Prince and Princess of Wa!es, at Marlborough House, her Majesty visited, the Duke of New- castle, and then went to Buckingham Palace, where she was joined b, the Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse, and received the Duchess of In- verness. Her Majesty and the Princess Beatrice returned to Windsor to t.iiiiiie-, and the fcarl of Clarendon had the honour of joining the royal party. While the Queen was at London the Prin- cesses Helena and Louisa visited Canterbury and inspected the Cathedral. The Prince and Prin- cess Louis of Hesse dined with the Duke and Duchess of Manchester on Saturday evening, and OIL Sunday afternoon returned to Windsor. Their Royal Highnesses went back to Buckingham Palace ou Monday evening. On Tuesday the Queen and the Princess Beatrice again came to London, and visited the Horticultural Gardens. The Prince and Princess of Wales attended the opening of a Bazaar, at the Hanover Square Rooms, in aid of the Earlswood Idiot Asylum, on Saturday morning. IN the evening the Prin- cess went to Her Majesty's Theatre, and the Prince diued with the Corporation of the Trinity at Trinity House, Lord Palmerston, the Master, being in the chair. The Duke of Cambridge was one of the quests. On Monday the Prince and Princess, accompanied by the Prince and Princess of Leiningen, attended a review of troops in H) de Park, the most brilliant military display of the season. In the afternoon they went to the Lon- don Hospital, where the Prince laid the first stone of a new wing to be added to the building. In the evening their Royal Highnesses had a large dancing party at Marlborough House. On Tuesday their Royal Highnesses visited the Horse Show, at Islington, accompanied by Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse, and in the evening they dined with the Duke of Cambridge. A Royal Commission will shortly be issued to inquire into the operation and tendency of the present system of capital punishment, in accord- ance with the decision of the House of Commons. It is said that the Commissioners will be the Duke of Richmond, Sir J. Coleridge, Mr. Hardy, M.P., Mr. William Ewart, M.P., Mr. Wadding- ton, of the Home Office, the Attorney-General for Ireland, and the Lord Advocate for Scotland. At 12 p.m., on the 30th ult., all the tolls levied on the public roads on the north of the Thames, to the extent of five miles from the metropolis, ceased to exist, and the toll-gates and houses are demolished, or being demolished. The tolls are still levied to the south of the Thames, and on the Southwark, Waterloo, and Chelsea Bridges. Those interested are agitating" to get those im- posts removed. The Confederates, as well as the Federals, have been endeavouring to enlist men in this country to serve in the war, which is a breach of our foreign enlistment act.. On Friday one of their ageuts, named Seymour, was charged, at Bow Street, with enlisting men as part of the crew of the Rappahannock, now lying at Calais, and was committed to take his trial at the next sitting of the Central Criminal Court. The war has re-commenced in good earnest, and who can say where it will end ? The Danes, on the 27th ult., re-established the blockade of nearly all the Prussian and German ports on the Baltic, and made preparations for blockading the others the Austro-Prussian fleet also approached nearer the scelle of action. On the. 29th, according to the Hamburg papers, those powers had 11 ves- sels, earn ing 238 guns, on the North Sea, whilst the Danes had only 5, carrying 181 guns, the greater part of their vessels being employed in the blockade. Another frigate of 35 or 44 guns, and some smaller craft woutd, however, it was ex- pected, be sent to the North Sea. The Prussians, at the same time that the Danes re-established the blockade, prepared to attack Alsen, and the particulars of the assault and capture of the island have been received this week. Ou the 29th ult. the attacking force crossed from the Suudewitt coast, opposite to which Alsen extends for several miles, the Alsund Strait between the two requir- ing not more than ten minutes or a quarter of an hour to row across. Eleven battalions, of 800 men each, crossed this Strait in 120 boats, being covered by several batteries erected in and near the Satrup Wood [I1.S the spot from which the Prussians crossed is called], and the Danish moni- tor, Rolfe Krake, sailed up the Straits, and at- tempted to interrupt the landing, but was driven away by the fire from these batteries. The Danes who encountered the first Prussian troops that landed, made a gallant stand they were over- powered by numbers, and as many as could re- treated but an account from Flensburg, dated the 1st instant, states that 2,400, including 100 officers, were made prisoners. The Prussians lost 3 officers killed and 17 wounded, with 300 privates killed and wounded. A telegram from Souder- burg, dated the ht inst., mentions an act of hor- rid barbarity [if it is true] on the part of the vic- tors. It states that at the p:trtial clearance of the battle-field on the previous day, 400 Swedish vo- lunteers were discovered, to whom no quarter was given. Some slight affairs have been announced since the fall of Alsen. On the 3rd instant two Danish men of war made a reconnaisance of Ru- gen, when the Prussian batteries opened upon them, and some of the shell thrown struck the vessels, which sheered off. The same day a party of Danes crossed the Linefjord, in Jutland, Prussians being stationed on the opposite side. A skirmish ensued, and the Danes were driven back, losing 60 prisoners. The ministerial Provinzial Corrispmdenz of Ber- lin, oil the 30th ult., pubiished the following as the" programme of the campaign." The arrange- ments, it is stated, having been agreed upon at Carlsbad. "The government and taxation of Jutland will be taken in hand by Prussia and Austria. Preparation will be made for crossing into Funen. Schleswig-Hoistein is to be placed under the common administration of Commission- ers appointed by the German Powers. In the succession question, which has become doubtful, Prussia will wisely consult her own interests and those of Germany." It appears that this pro- gramme is to be earned out. From Copenhagen, under the date of July 1, we are informed that
