      opportunity to reier to an . event which had pfivon him great pain . Their lordships must feel that if there was any circumstance that should be kept inviolable , it was tie conversation between the Sovereign and statesmen during what was called a Ministerial , crisis . His surprise and pain was caused by seeing- on Monday morning- in tue columns of the Times , that which purported to b e a lengthened account of whaj took place between her Majesty and the noble earl opposite ( Granville ) . He acquitted the noble lord of any want . of judgment in the matter , but there had been some who must have been in tlie confidence of the noble earl who had most . grossly abused it . He would not further occupy their lordships at this moment than to say that it would be a pleasure to him to give the Ministry , of which he , the noble earl , formed a part , on every occasion possible his

      IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT . MINISTERIAL EXPLANATION . Is the House of Lords the Earl of Derby said that , after the decision the House of Commons had arrived at , no alternative was left to the Government but to tender her Majesty its resignation , as the result of the vote of want of confidence . With respect to his noble friend , the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs , after a perusal of the papers he had laid on the table relative to the war , it would be found that he had carried out as far as possible the statement in her Majesty ' s speech , that every effort had been made to maintain peace , and also preserve a strict and impartial neutrality . He ( Lord Derby ) had that afternoon just returned from thanking her Majesty for the confidence she had placed in him , and taking leave of her as First Minister 6 the Crown . Before he sat down he would take that

      cordial assistance and support . He should therefore move as a matter of convenience to the noble carl , that the House at its rising should adjourn till Tuesday next . —Earl Granville said he regretted the circumstance as much as the noble lord , and he hoped he would believe that he ( Earl Grnnvillo ) -was as much surprised as he was . After he had waited on her Majesty and received her most gracious command to form an administration he certainly had mentioned the circumstance to a few political friends , and he now very much regretted he had rot observed greater reserve . He begged to thank the noble lord for the sentiments he hail expressed with respect to the Government of his noble friend . —Lord Brougham ' implored the new Ministry to observe a strict neutrality with regard to both France , Austria , and Sardinia . „

      The motion for the adjournment of the House was then agreed , to . In the House of Commons after a question respecting civil establishments in India had been answered by Lord Stanley , the Chancellor of the Exchequer said—I think it is only respectful to the House that I should formally announce , what they already know , namely , that in consequence of the late vote tlic House was pleased to arrive at , Lord Derby and his colleagues felt it their duty to tender their resignation . Her Majesty had been graciously pleused to accept tlint resignation ' of their oflices . We , therefore , hold office only until our successors are appointed ; and I am enubled to state that the noble lord the member tor Tiverton received instructions to form n Ministry which

      I am nlso enabled to state lie hns succeeded in < lo > "S ; I think it would be most convenient to the noble lord Hint the House should ndjourn till Tuesdny noxt , when tlic new wits can bo issued , « nd if nny furllur adjournment bo necessary it can bo used by our ouccossora in oinqe . Mr . Disraeli concluded by moving tlitit the House at its rising do adjourn till Tuesday next . The motion waei agreed to , and the House adjourned at five o ' clock .

      RUMOURED RETURN OF NAPOLEON IIJ . Theius are rumours in military circles that tho Emperor ' s return to Paris may be looked for soon j and that , perhaps , Marshall Pellssier will get tho cominan < l-in-chicf of the Army of Italy . There aro two reasons adduced for this . One is that tho formation of a corps of observation on tho Upper Rhine has been resolved upon , which would imply the necessity of the Emperor placing himself in a position to control the movement a of both armies , which could only be be dono from Purls . Tho other rousan adduced la , that negotiations aro again in train . Both versions may be well founded . Another rumour current fa that MacMahon is to tako the command of tho Italian army in tho Kmporor ' a nbsonco .
