ftiii • - 7 CH, THE EXPAIK, MOD*/ Ike tiropoial of the Emperor to held • Earopethereseresi ' the in ter-.ta of the,general peace. Then came the dea th of the late King of D anmark, which changed the whole upset et ti a f iner inn. Previously the qusation was a federal one soieu Gernuuiy and Denmark ; but by the death of the king it became an interneticeral question • and it was with • complete knowledge of the imareasik risk and dirocosions of what was at stake that the Secretary of Bate bed returned • refusal to the Emperor of the French. There were two courses open to the government after the' hing's death, and both were intelligible and honourable. They aright have ectol as France resolved under the elm-I=- 6moms to ace. If, with France, they bad said that if Den mark wen " involved" in a war with Germany they would not coin-, to her &mistimes, that would have been intelligible and honourable ; fur we were not bound by the treaty of 1862 to go to her aseistuoa On the other hand, they might have given their support to Denmark ; that, too, would have been iotelligible and honourable. loathed of that, however, they pursued secures of conduct which con misted of menaces that had bees accomplished and of promises that had never been fulfilled ; yet. notwithstanding threat, and Welling, federal execution took place by the German forces. Surely that was not much evidence of the great indium:ice which was exercised by this country is the councils of Europe. But what was the course of =Motels at this critical conjuncture? They went again and supplicated France to assist them, and a cart and un satisfactory answer was the only result. Nevertheless, within '24 hours, the Foreign Bearstary wrote the Want disputed& to Germany that he had yet penned. The ravesioo of She wig then took place, se lowered was the just influence of England in the Germs courts. Again ministers hurried to Paris and proposed • joint declaration of concert and co-operatioo on the part of the non-German powers. Whereupon IL Drouyn de Limy; wished to know what concert and co- operation meant, and the Semetruy of State replied that it meant the necessary material assistance to Denmark ; to efirinh M. bemire de Lhuys responded with various reasons for the inaction of Fromm, sad said that the Emperor re served to his government entire liberty for the present. After receiving such • reply as that, although it ought be hard to convince the Foreign Sermstary, he might bare begun to suspect that the jut 'Mimeses of &g -land was lowered in another quarter as well as In the German courts. Passing to the meeting of the Lagoa conference, the right boa gentleman observed— The conference lasted six weeks, or rather it wasted six weeks. It lasted as lon as a carnival, and like a carnival, it was en affair of creaks and mystification. (Laughter and Aunt) The summary of the conference is this : Hu Majesty's government made two considerable propositions to the conference. They proposed, first, the dismember ment of Denmark. (Opposition cheers.) So much for its integrity. (Continued cheering.) They proposed, secondly, that the remainder of Denmark should be placed under the joint guarantee of the, great powers. They would have weated another Turkey in Europe, in the same geographical position, the some of the same rival intrigues, sad the fertile source of constant misapprehension_ sad frequent want So much for the independence of Denmark. And having made two propositions, one which destroyed the integrity of Denmark, and the other the independence of Denmark, their avowed policy having been to maintain the integrity and independence of Denmark, the conference even with the. sacrifices was a barren failure. Now, I ask the house, after having, I hope with some clear ness, and in • manner tolerably comprehensive— (oppceitioo cheers)—placed the question before it—l ask the lionse %bat is is opinion of the management of the. attain! I showed you at the beginning that this inter ferenoe of England originated is a treaty in which she en listed into nu obligations different from those of Francis. I bays shown you, on the evidence of the Secretary of State himself, that the position of France in regard to Denmark is one quite magnanimous, free from all diffi culty sod all perplexity. I have shown you, on the other ham", what I think every man feels, that the position of England under this treaty is most embarraming, istolerably difficult, and full of humiliation. I mid, thee, that it was my opinion that the difference between the position of Ragland sod Frame arose from the management et affairs. It seemed to be • Dawes' inference and • logical &duties. I have given yen a narrative of bow your affairs are managed ; acid now what is toar onion?pi Did you see is the management of i swain that capacity—that kind of capacity particularly that is adequate to the occasion ? Did you find that sagacity, that prudence, that dexterity, that quickness of perception, sad those coociliatory moods which we always deem MOOD. wry for the transaction of foreign affairs? (Hear hear.) Was there that knowledge of human nature, and especially at that'pecoliar portion of that kind of science most aeons eery in these affairs—•• knowledge of the character of foreign seentairs, and of the chin &donut thew:ens, which would be most desirable and necessary? Sir, for my part I find all these qualities wanting, and in consoqueoce of the want of Miceli qualities I sae that three results have accrued—first, that the avowed policy of her Majesty's government has failed; meondly, that our just influence in the councils of Loupe has been lowered—(cheers)—and thirdly, that in seissequesos of our just influence in the councils of Europe low lowered, the securities for peace are diminished. Those are the 000seguences which have resulted from the went of the qualities to which I have alluded, and from the assaagement of those affairs by the government. Sir, I need not trouble the house with any additional argument **peeve that the government have failed to uphold the independence and integrity of Denmark. (Hear, hear.) That result may, therefore• be thrown aside. I pees on, therefore, to the second. By the just infineuoe of England is the council. of Europe I mean influence contradistin guished from that which is obtained by intrigue and secret understanding—l mess that Wineries that rondos from the soovietiou of foreign powers that our resources are great and that our policy s moderate but steadfast. (Chien.) Since the settlement that followed the great revolutioemy war England, who obtained at that time, as she deserved to do , for she bore the brunt of the struggle—who obtained at that time all the fair object& of her ambition—has pursued upon the whole a conservative foreign policy. I do sot mean by a conservative foreign policy • foreign poky that would disapprove, still less oppose, the natural &reel:Tweet of the nation ' • but I mean a foreign policy that is interested in the tranquillity and prosperity of the world, whom normal condition is peace, and which does not ;Wulf with the revolutionary party of Europe.(Cheers.) countries have their political systems and the pub lic objects, though they may sot have obtaioed them. The position of England, therefore, in the conduct of public affairs in the councils of Europe is essentially that of a mo derating and mediatorial power. Her interest, her polity, is, where changes are theritable and necessary, to assist, so that those changes, if possible, should be accomplished without war, or if war occurs that its duration and its aspe rity should be diminished. That is what I mean by the just influence of England. Sir, it appears to me that this just influence of Eogland in the councils, of Europe has been. I do not my forfeited, but lowered. Within twelve months we bare been twice repulsed at St. Petersbung—we have supplicated more than once in vain at Pans ; we have menaced Austria, and Austria has allowed our threats to par her like the wind—(cries of " hear, hear" from the opposition leloch)— we have threatened "'maga, and Prussia he. defied us; our abjurations have rattled on the heads of the Getman Diet, and the Ger man Diet has treated them with c intempt (Loud opposition cheers.) Sir, within the last few mouths there is acutely a form of diplomatic interference that has not been suggested and adopted by the English government, except a congress. (Laughter.) A conferameof Vienna, • conference of Paris, a conference of London, all in their turn have been suggested—joint mediation, sole mediation, original notes, relative untie , ideatie ornate, sole note', or notes joint and separate. (Laughter and cheers.) Couriers lase been mowing Europe is euthenist rapidity ; and sir, last of all, a most important conference was held in the ca binet of the queen, over which the chief minister of our foreign relations presided ; it was attended with all the pomp and solemnity requisite for so great au enterprise, hut we find that its sittings have been perfectly kerma, and the chief minister of the crown close the proceeding by quit ting the battle same of their exertions, and appearing in the two houses of parliament to tall the country that they have no ally, and that because they have no ally England cannot act alone. (Loud cheers.) Sir, I do not undertake to do justice to the exalting boast of the S:cretery of State in the bitterest moment of his discomfiture when he seemed to take consolation for the moment in tee sympathy and politeness of the neutral power& (Laughter.) I do not grudge Lord Russell the sighs of Russia ur the smiles of Francs, but I regret that, with characteristic in discretion in his present forlorn Mate, he should have quilted the coogreis only to take his seat io the House of Lords to tleoomme the perfidy of Prussia arid mourn ov er the fickleness of Austria. (Cheers.) Sir, there needed but one tench to complete the picture, and it was supplied by the noble lord at the head of her Majeety's government. I lutieed with astonishment to the noble lord as he de nounced the vices of his victim—flood cheers)—and in veighed at the last moment over the obstinacy of unhappy Danmark—Denmark that would not submit than arbitration —an arbitration which the German powers would have accepted. And what security had Dean ark when in the conference she could not be assured that the neutral powers would here recourse to force in order to secure her the line of the Schlei—e bat security had she that any other line would be set ured to her—an unknown line by an unknown arbitrator ? (Cheers.) Well, sir, it does appear to me im possible to deny, under these circumstances, that the in ternee—the just iuduruce of England in the councils of Europe is lowered ; and now I ask, what are the con segues:me, of this just influence of England in the council. of Europe being lowered! I my the consequences are use a fre quent phrase in the despatches— • mast serious," because in exact as the just influence of England is the counels of Europe is lowered, I say the securities for peace are diminished. (Cheers.) I lay this down as • great principle which cannot be controverted in the management of our foreign affairs. If England has re solved upon a particular policy war is Dot probable, but if there be,uuder tee circumstances, • cordial alliance between England and Frame, war is most difficult; and if there be a thorough mideistandieg betweee Eaglaod, Fraoce,and Russia, thee, under the circuoistances, I sac war is impossible. Sir, those were the happy conditions under which C e i e l7jesty'e ministers mitered upon this matter, and which the enjoyed when they began to manage this question of Deftnark. Two years ago, and much lees, there was a err die' umlerstaoding between England, France, and Russia erica that maims, or upon say question that might arise. Weer, hear.) They might look forward to the future with every coutidence in the enjoyment of peace ; they might look forward to a period when they would have accomplished all they could have desired. But what heppened? What have they done. They have alienated Russia they have estrangedFrauce, and then they call parliament towbar to &dam war against Germany. Why, sir, sash • thing never happened before in the history of this country, nay more, I say never 0111 happen Apia. I look upon it as on of those porteotous OCC071111)0011 that sometimes take place to humiliate the pride of nations, to lower their esefidence. (Cheers.) Why, sir, the difficulties in creased, as obstacles appeared—as they were multiplied as • coneequence of their error* and esseetant mis takes—yet more pi y have they exhibited themselves. Yea always find that her Majesty's Welters are near with As in private life you always find that it is the weak who are violent, so it is with her Majesty's goverment. do long as this cordial feeling with the great powers sited, they spoke with moderatioe, they counselled with dipity ; but, like all incompetent men, the moment they are in ex treme difficulties, they conduct themselves in a way that is ludicrous and false, and the affairs of the country cannot be arranged by the resources they panes. lies the despatches that have hese written. That was a bold despatch that was sent to St. Petersburg in January about going bo war with Germany. Then we scot twice to Fence mitreating the Emperor to mist es in cceasquenc• of our own mistakes. (Hear, hair.) Why, sir, it is only by giving them credit, which I do throughout, for the complete sincerity of their expressions and conduct, that their be haviour is at all explicable. Assume that their policy was a war policy, and then everything is intelligible ; but whfft difficulties arise, then they instantly have ream= to violence. Every word they utter, every derpeteh they write, seems always to look to • some of collision Bat what is the state of Europe at this moment produced by this management of our affairs I know not what other hon. gentlemen may think, bat to me it seems mos4mrione I Sod the great German powers openly mono( that it is not in their capacity to fulfil their eugagestents. I lied Europe impotent to vindicate the pablio law, because • greet alliance has been broken up, arid I lad a great, proud. and generous nation like England, with the reserve of magnanimity, shrinking from the responsibility al commencing war, and sensitively mauling under the impres sion that her honour is stained—and stained by pledges 'kith ought not to have bees gives, and expectations which I =de tain ought never to have been held out by .is. and compe tent statesmen. (Chests.) It appears to me, therefore, obvious that her Majesty's government have failed in their avowed object of maintaining the integrity and adores deuce of Denmark—(cheer)—it appears to me undeniably that the just influence of England in the councils of Europe has been lowered, and it appears to ma to be painfully clear that the consequence of this lowering of our le-'! (thence is to diminish the securities for peen 1 (Cheers.) And what defence have we! The noble lord asks me, if ever • °Minim is made upon his ambiguous endure, " What is your policy ?" (Loud minis terial cheers and counter cheers.) My answer IL my Policy is the honour of England—Opposition cheers, and cries al "Oh " from the ministerial benches)—the pare of Europe, and I say the noble lord has betrayed both. (Load opposi tion cheers.) I can welerstand • minister coming to perils meet when there is • question of domestic interest of the highest character—the emancipation of the catholies, the principle upon which our commercial code is to be ate 'dished or our representative minim founded . • I can tuner stand a minister—though I think it • weak step--eayin that upon these questions be would leave it to parliament to decide what should be their policy. Parliament is in pone lion of all the information on all those subjects that is now sary or that can be obtained. Parliament ia as competent to come to • judgment upon such questions m the =inking themselves, but it is quite • new doctrine to appeal to per. lament to initiate a foreign polio . (Cheers.) That is • prerogative of the crown ex under the advice of re. 'linable ministers. Is is devised, invented, carried on in seamy, and justly and wisely as, What do we know whet is going on in Downing-etent at this moment I know net what despatches, what pro pmahe are them Far aught I know the noble lord may have made soother proposition this morning which might light up • general European war. It is for parliament to inquire, to criticise, to support or condemns foreign affairs, but it is on for them to initiate • foreign policy in absolute ignorance of the real state of affairs. As well might you ask them to set a house on fire. Nay, I go further. He is not • wise —I am sore he is not a patriotic men, who is • =Jot Moe the present ;add accept °Moe under conditions. What conditions oan be more terrible than • vote of the House of Commons carried upon a par ticular point, which we afterwards tied, when we are in seasioo of the real feelings of the country, it would be unwise, perhaps impcesible, to give e ff ect to? Si; we must not allow her Majesty's ministers to escape from their responsibility. (Cheers.) That is the teething—that is at the bottom of all them demands of " What is year policy!" The very first night we met —upon the 4th of February —we had the same question put. Parliaramit was called together by ministers in distress to give them a policy, but parliament has maintained • dignified mid dins meet reserve, and now you find in what • position those ministers have placed the country. It is not for us—it is not for any man in that house—to indicate to minimises what should be the foreign policy of the country. The most we can do is to tell the noble lord what is not our policy. (Ministerial cheers.) We will not threaten and then refuse to act. (Opposition cheers.) We will not Ind ea our allies with expectations we do not intend to fulfil. A od, sir, if it ever be the lot of myself and of those with whom I act to carry on the important negotiations of this country as the noble lord and hie colleagues have dose, I trust we shall not, at haat, carry them on in such a man ner as that it will be oar duty to come to parliament and announce that we bath no ally, and then to declare that England can never act alma (Cheers.) Sir, these an words that ought never to have escaped the lips of any British minister. (Loud choirs.) They are sentiments which ought never to have entered his heart. I repudiate and reject them. I remember that there was • time whoa England had not • tithe of our resources, when inspired by • patriotic cease she triumphantly eocountered • world la arms. (Cosecs.) And, sir, I believe now, if the occasion were fitting, if our independence and oar honour were attacked and assailed, if our empire were endangered, I believe that England would arise in the magnificence of her might, and struggle triumphantly fee those objects for which men live and nations flouriek. (Cheers.) But, sir, I for one will never consent to go tei wee to extricate ministers trout the consequences of their own itidieentioa ; and it is in this spirit that I have drawn up this wldressto the crown. I have drawn it up in the spirit in which the royal speech was delivered at the coos meocemeot of the aessioa. I am ready to vindicate the honour of this eountry when it is neomeary, but I have drawn it up iu the intonate of pensa (Cheers.) Sir, I beg lasee to move the address which stands in my name. The right hoe. gentleman rammed kismet amidst loud and keg continued cheering. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER mid be se- • othted the responsibility oast upon the government, end was ready on their part to meet the accossitMes of Mr. Disraeli. He observed that the declaratioo of Lord Pal merston in July last, upon which so much stress was laid, was justifiable, foe at that period France and Ramie were =Zto act in the spirit of that declaration. Mr. i a had stated that in December there had been • change in the policy of France ; but the very despatch he had quoted disproved this statement. As to the censure he had cast upon the manner in which Lord Russell had de clined the proposal for a congress, Lord Russell, be said, wee • man of truth and honour,and was in the habitof appals' his mind with very little circumlocution ; and Mr. Gladstone referred to some impressions of he. Disraeli upon the sub ject of the coerces much lass courteous than those he had complained of. He noticed other irritation in which Mr. Disraeli had, be said, not quoted the documents fairly sod and he accused him of having misled the house by his partial quotations, and by allegations void of foundation. He showed that these misquotations and the false infe rences drawn from them affected sonic of the most mate rial charges against the government. He proceeded to examine those charge., as regarded their oo'duct towards Denmark, maintaining that they were entirely fallacious, if not the reveres of the truth. The policy of the government, he observed, had been to bring Denmark to fulfil her thine merits of 1852, and the Germans to moderato their views. On the emission of the present King of Denmark, the ob ject of the government was to maintain the treaty of 1852, sod to endeavour to bind the powers of Europe to uphold it. But • now doctrine was promulgated by Austria and Prunes with reference to that treaty, which, in their opinion, altered it. position. Her Majesty's government, believing that it was for the advantage of Europe to uphold that treaty, thought it their duty to endeavour to ob tain the co-operation of other powers, and rally them in support of it. They did (said the right boo. gentleman) make application to France and to Russia *a the 10th of January, the 10th of July, and the 18th, which con• templated • combination for upholding the treaty of 1852—not, as I apprehend, for upholding it against the will of the people of the duchies, but against foreign force end intrigue. And the right bon. potlemao, who censures ovelythirig that his been done by her Majesty's govern ment, censures that also. He said that on the 18th January " you wrote a letter which would have put all Europe is a blase." A letter to bring about a concert and co-opera. ties of }Yana and Russia with England put Europe in • blase ! Why, surely the right bon. gentleman must have • short memory, for he said but fifteen minutes after that the declaration that France. England, and Russia beingcombised would render war impassable in Europe. I must say I am somewhat surprised, considering the disproportionate weight which the right hon. gentleman had laid on points of trifling momeot, that when he came to this great passage of European policy he satisfied himself with flinging out an isolated reproach on her Majesty's government. We bad written this letter coo completing concert and co-operatioa. We believed it was in the interest of Europe that the treaty of 1832 should be supported with adequate mesas, with the adequac7 of Means which diminishes or annihilates risk. We did think It was right that it should he supported, and we stand here responsible for acting on that belief. And, there fore, let it be clearly understood that the government in their endeavour, to enlist the active aid of France and Russia for the preservation of European peso—let me say that we are ready to abide the judgment of the house and the country on.that question. (Cheers.) Well, sir, I think the house and thecountry are aware that there is ample reason why we should not undertake what might verily he called the Quixotic enterprise of waging simile-handed the war which offered itself to us tinder the circumstance. (Minis tonal cheers.) The tax upon English wetly would have been Vitally di/proportioned to the object which we should have had in view. The want of any special English interest, in the absence of • positive undeetakieg, was also • matter which it was absolutely the duty of the government to con sider. If England was to make war, and make it with effect. it was not one that could be confined to Den ark. ha limits must have greatly extended, and it most have gone to the Adriatic.

At the beginning of the Melon the right hos. potions& himself prophesied that be would bring on this question. Them the right ben gentleman the member for Huotingdoe (General Peel) took up the parable of the right bon. gentleman, and pee us his word that we should have a motion of this kind. Then the bell mune spin into the bands of the right ban. gentleman himself, and he pro. plural once more that there should be a solemn resolution. Thus, ever sire the sonuassimment of the samiee, • period of five mootha, this aeries has been is the rune of inenbation ; sod its terms have been revolved fa all the brains of all the wisest swarms in the country—nate4, those who sit opposite. (Laughter sod cheers.) The t benenrable genWoosa bee made • motion, the mauling and purport of which we perfectly undentaad. It is intended to put an end to the exist sees of the government. I admit that is some I ✓ose we are greatly indebted to the right boa. gentleman.

It wee only very lately that I saw this api. taph, and it did occur to me that the right hoe. patlemas was about to perform for the government the kind office which the domestic servant did for this lady and gentleman. As tbedrolutios of a government, when it ocean naturally, is certainly found to be attended with roomer niers end discomfort, sad es it meet some time die, we abould perhaps be thankful to the right hon. gentleman for offering to do for ua this good office. (Renewed laughter.) But, sir, it is not easy to discuss this motion. It is purely • personal matter. We have beard the tone of the right bon. primer Weight, He looks woes the tables, sad says to my noble friend and to the body of patrons of whom my noble friend is one, " You are adorably incapable—you are men who cannot, indeed, write • stogie sentence of common awe."

Obis for the conduct of the foreign policy of the eon try for more the hell the time Ore the pros of 1815! (Load cheers.) Now, sir, what is the mowing of this motion! Is it not, " Gig out of your places and let am come into them" (Cheers.) That is • perfectly fair Moe ; bat it is • very disagreeable one far sir to disease who ban still hafting about them any, the faintest remains of the modesty of their youth. (Great laughter.) The right hon. gentleman talks about our miserable iscapacity— Mr. DISRAELI—I did not use thre mode. (Cries of "intense,' and "utter.") The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I am quite willing to tithe it any way—be it utter," " intense," or " miserable," or whatever it be—be thalleuged a comparison which it Is very difficult for me to conduct He says, " You have offended all your allies." (Opporittou cheer..) " Yoe have made yourselves contemptible:* (Renewed cheers.) Them are the statements which the right hoe gen tleman made. He rye my ride friend had so right to contrive to stave off this war for • period of five yews after he cams into office. The right beisourable gentleman ought to have bad some compassion upon my noble frond for considerations which his own memory might have suggested to him. Was there net • war whoa be was himself is office; and did Lord Malmbery contrive to stave off th at war for four or five yeas! (Cheers.) The right boa gentleman came down to the house on the 18th of April end said that there would be no war ; whereas on the 22nd the Austrian summons was sent to Piedmont, acid the war immediately afterwards bras. (Hear, hear.) I appeal to the porous feelusie of the right boo. patine= ; but if I appeal to them in vain, I appeal to his memory of transactions in which hie owe government were involved. (Cheer.) The laetrile of the motion is—" only let the noble viscount, the co e lord the Foreign Secretary, and their colleagues get out of their places, sad let us come in, and then soddenly everybody will behave well, and all public carders will disappear like the shades of the berme when Mars made his appearance among them— " At Denatim wooers, Agamemnoniasque phalanges, Ut vidfre virorn fulgentieque arms per umbras logenti trepidare meta: pore vertigo terga." (Daughter.) The right hon. geatleman gets upon what' would all Ise high hone, soil will not give the slightest opinion oe any subject of f policy. became forsooth that would be accepting office with conditions. (Haar, hoard While the motion is full of animosity as regards its design towards her Mejesty's government, it is, as relates to public into • as pale and 00i0gefieel se a ghost. The only allegorise that it 000tains is, that by the conduct of her Majesty's government, the just lathier* of Eoglsad has been lowered. In the first I deny that the just be erier of England has been P owered . (Hear. bear.) In the second place, I raj that even if it were so, the declaration is not a armies one to be recorded here. (Cheers.) Is the anagram made because we bar failed in averting a war ? Well, I know that there is nothing that succeeds like success; and there is nothing that fails like failure. There is always attendant upon failure, pro for the moment ; bet if that failure bee broths fader of hooest, upright, and generous efforts to prevent the great male of mankind from injuring sad destroying are aoother—(cheers)—though • dispassionate minister who has attempted in vain for the moment to calm the troubled waters, may reap from one or both sides of the hour nothing bat the censure of gentlemen who propose motions like this, sod though he may reap from a small section of his countrymen ao other reward than Trentmeet and dis approval, yet the recollection will abide that the voice of England was raised in the cause of moderation and of ko rai, end that the effort of her government had bees to teach wisdom to the obstioste, and mercy to those who were tyrannous and strong. (Loud cheers.) Are these ores without • parallel ! Let me go beck to that of Calming. Never was there a more conspicuous iostasoe of failure, if our judgeoeut is to be the judgment of the moment, than the failure of Canning respecting the invasion of Spain by Frame; but there is no brighter, no more hosourable chapter in the whole history of the foreign policy at this country. It was rid by Canning, when be was charged with that failure, that " it would be disiorienuous, indeed, to dry that the entrance of the Frencharmy into Spain was, to a certain extent, a disparagement to the prestige and a blow to the feelings of England." Are we then to see recorded against us the proposals, almost the petitions, which we have made in the interests of peace, and is the failure of those petitions, either through their refirel when concession would have been useful, or their being de clined in the insolence of power, to he laid to our charge ! (Cheers). Let us discard this epicurean temper. I deny that the just influence of England has been lowered. That is not the language which is held by allied mid friendly powers—though it is no doubt held by a certain patios' of the foreign press. When I read the tonna of the ' motion it seems to roe to bs nothing better than an echo of the almost ribald language of • few obscure joursals of Germany. (Cheers-) It is from that source that this is. heeded minister derives his inspiration. (Load cheers,) It is from that quarter that Wrong of English policy are to be learned. (Cheers.) Unhappily there isstill io this country • narrow sect of people who revel in the depreciation of every foreign people ; It is equally true that there is • art of pee ple in France who still rehaia what wee our s national soti pethy—though thank God it is so so longer—(loud choral — against this country. While there are reader of such trash there will always be writers of it; and it is with this trash which the right hon. gentleman founds votes of want of confidence. (Cheers.) Bat again I say, I deny that the just in firm* of England has bees diminished by the honest effort which we have made to teach met, jostle* and mercy. This is the very first occasion that the British House of Common has been called upon, for the sake of displacing • govern meat, to record the degradation of its country. (Lod cheers.) Why cannot the right hon. gentleman speak plainly in his motion! Why dots he not adopt the lan guage of our forefathers, who when they were dissatisfied with • government addressed the crown, and preyed that Cot government might be dismissed. They said boldly that the conduct of the government Ira open to such and snob charges, and they prayed that other men might be put in their places. But be right hon. gentleman was afraid to raise that issue. (Cheers.) Hs hes, indeed, plucked up his courage to propose this motion ; but why bus he not done it in the proper ooustitotiocal form in which votes of want of confidence have hitherto been drawn. He supposes that because he did not attack the govaraaasat is terms, he could not fall into error. Bat he 11, .." V' • • 'IP , *. ' XVillinte, JULY 5. is saistant. Never Whim so far as I know, has party spirit led gentlemen in this emery to frame a notice' which pLoes on. record that which meet be regarded is dishooeur Ode to the nation. (Cheers.) I Aback to the time of Sir Walpole, of Lerd North, sad Mr. Fox, hat nowhere do ' we find such a sterile and Mau an affair as this resolation. Their charges were written is legible aced plain. terms, but the boo. gentleman might, substitaten language which be saleistit for the purpose of render , tag it impossible for the graerement to roc , tient. , din. ciMois, but whisk sum* transfix them withoeig F ila sting Ant pluming throgh . the bosom. of England. (Cheers.) For the reasons I bays stated I look forward with cheerfulness to the lift, which has been raised with regard to our {induce (Churn.) I have long tamed the home, and I have endeavoured to follow the right hoe. gentleman through the imbues of hie elaborate •tiack. I have followed the right bon.geatleman through every point which he has selected, sad I doubt I set that I might .with spud success have followed him if he had gam into other matters. Perhaps he think, that be may shelter himself behind the irre sponsildlity of opposition ; but let me tell him that that doctrine may be pushed to as esteems, and yet sever, I believe, has it been pushed to such extremes as by the right ' boo. gentleman. In a few words the righ t boo. gent] smeary., " You most place me upon that bench, sod than I will tell you what I will do." I don't believe, however, that the country will consent to the exchange upon such a condition. Nay more, I feel the most con fi dent anticipatioa that both the house and the country will approve of the coons takes in this difficult segotiatioa by her Majesty's government, and that they will reject a motion which both prodesce and patriotism most alike emphatically condemn. (The right boo. gentleman resumed his seat amidst loud cheer- Mr. NEWDEGATE then rose, pursuant to his notice, in lien of the second paragraph of Mr. Disraeli's motion for an address, to move—" To submit to her Majesty the 1 1 opinion of this house that the independence of Denmark and 1 the ptomains of that n e u tral kinom on the terms unposed by , 1 I the representatives of the powers in the recent Ml forum, ought to be guranl." The boo. gentleman said ' he felt the full responsibility of having taken the course of plaeirig on. the paper as mummies/lot to the terms of the notice) of the motion thou Won the house ; but having listened to the two speeches with which the debate had I opened, be could not but feel the great force of the ober vation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when he said that the concluding terms of the motion of the right boo. member for Bucks proposed to place upon record as ad mimic, of the degradation of the country before the nations of the world, which he (Mr. Newdte) for one felt it wee itoporible for him to admit. At the same time, he also felt the force of the right hoe. gentleman's (Mr. Disraeli's) observation, that England us. doubtedly at this moment stood is • position of ischition from her silica, In the come of Dsurnerk—in Shunned the maintenance of the ieclopsndsece it a power which, accord ing to the unanimous decision of the powers who wens icor tames to the treaty, was most Important se eye of the ele ments of that balance of power which secures the malaise name of European pesos. But he could not admit Aida:trims of the right hoe. gentleman (Mr. Disraeli), that when paws relating to the foreign policy of the country were submit ted to the house, the only question which any member of the house was entitled to entertain was, whether the government which had conducted that policy deserved the continuance of the confidence of the country, or whether they should be succeeded in office by the coconuts of the opposite benches. Such a doctrine was contrary to the practice of the hone; and of the right hon. gentleman himself bear)—for continually during this session the right on. gentleman bad been path'sg questions and expressing *pilaus upon foreign politae, though be had not ociounitted himself to any definite course of policy. (Rear, bear.) During the speech of the right hoe. gentleman he (Mr New deists) observed there was a distinct disavowal on bin part of any intention- had he base in office—of interfering as the government had interfered in the defence of Denmark. The right honourable gentleman alluded to what was said by General Floury to Lord Wodebouse in each a way as to show that he would have coocurred with Pianos in leaving Denmark to conteed single-heeded with the united power of Eu rop e. If that was the policy which would have been pursued by the right hoc gentleman the house bad due rightly in cootiseing to extend to the go vernment their confidence, because if he (Mr.Nowd te) un derstood at all the strong feeling which existed in the country with respect to Denmark, it went to thin—that England ought to have used more exertions than she had done to prevent the gross injustice that had been door to her. (Cheers.) He considered it was for the interest of civil and religious freedom throughout the world that England should take some step to regaia the piston which she bad lost. (Roar.) Be should sot like to me her take that step alone; but even if she were to appear alone, be did not think that the spirit o the country, country, or their other resources were so low, that they were to be told b her Majesty's government, at whose disposition they p 30,000,0001. for the maintenance of the naval and military renouress, that England could do nothing by herself. Reject his propositioo, and then Den mark would know that England would not aid her to nisintain her independence. that Eogland would sot emit herself is upholding her traditional policy em bodied in the treaty of 1832, sod in the modificatioos of that treaty which the majority of the conference sox a/eked—that the only case in which England would go to war was when the capital of Denmark was bombarded and her King made captive. Let them openly declare this to be their policy, and thou Denmark would have the oEagland.pportuaitg it bolting for mon available help than that of The SPEAKER having read the motion and the amend ment, and put the question, Mr. KINGLA BE said, as it wu obvious that the sand meat of the hon. geotleman would be altoptheriscionsistest with the one he had the honour to submit, it might, per be convenient to consider the two as one. But cone ' deriog the purpose for which he bad given notice of his amendment, it was only right that he should offer some comments oo the amendment of the boa. gentleman. The proposal of the hoe. geotlentaa ins that the governmest should guarantee to the King of Denmark that portion of Slmwig which was divided by the line of the Slot. But he had to represent to the hon. feutleman that this disputed territory ins at present in the hands of the Gorton powers, and that to guarantee to ANIMA • territory actually in the hands of German armies was simply to propose war, sod even something more (Hear, bear.) It wu to propose war at this nueosok and liability to war throughout all tints, leause if they were to gaimentes this mixed district throughout all time to the King of Denmark, be Gould era so period when the government of this country might not be called upon to act on this guarantee. (Hear, hear.) France and England proposed that the decision of the boundary should be left to the opinion of the ponds,. Hens. That proposition Denmark rejected. She had a right to do that, but having don eosins forfeited her claim upon Lighted. (Hear, hear.) If it was true that her honour was sot at stake, it was still more clear that DO principle or policy required England to take part in the war. In feet, Lord Derby had declared that • war against Germany in this case would be madness. He would address himself to those who took the most warlike view of the matter, and suppose there was a time when • war would have bees right; be would say that time was gone by when tbeGernians pared into Sitwell; ; that was a cam for war. When the treaty of London was broken it might he said England ought to have gone to war. Times were tenable positions, which might be thought right by some, though he di approved of them. But to sty, sr ter giving op the treaty, and alter allowing this linens of Untie that this country ought to go to war was • proposal which revolted the common sense of ell who beard him. (Hear, bear.) He trusted it was sufficiently clear that war would be impolitic, and also tno late. But if such a war should take plan, wee it to be carried on against the feelings of the people of Sleswig and Holstein—(hear, bear)—and in violation of the principle of nonintervention which this country had all along maintained in its beet seam? For the best sense of on-intermation was that which they adopted when they maid it was sot right to interfere with the internal affairs of another state. (Hear, bear.) He trusted he had shown that the maintenanoe arid enjoyment of peace had been consistent with their national honour. (Hear, hear.) General PEEL said the time had at last arrived which be on • former evening ventured to predict would cone, for the government to render an account of their 000 duct, and when the house could consider the event. which had been passing around them. The time was when the deularatin of the Prime Minister of this country to the British Hone of Commons wee looked upon by forgiven as binding and as certain to be carried into effect as the declaration of the most despotic monarch io the world. ( Loud cheers.) Was that the rase Dow? He Deed not remind the noble lord of what he had been so often reminded—of a declaration which be made, that if anybody entered Jutland as an enemy Den mark would on be left alone. Then they had all heard during the present session the strong language which was used by the noble lord. He told them that the entry of the invaders into Jutland was only an aggravation of their already outrageous conduct. What was the meaning of this conduct ! (Opposition cheese.) What was the use of it? (Renewed cheering.) Was it come to this, that the declaration of the Prime Minister of England to the House of Commons was to be regarded as an idle menace, which was laughed at and treated with contempt? It wee Mid that women fought with words, monks with pens, and men with swords. He believed that the only way to avoid a war of the latter description want° avoid the two former, in which the noble lord and the Foreign Secretary had bec ome such adepts that neither woman nor monk would have the slightest chance with them. (Laughter and cheers.) The war of words was Leather safe nor honourable. There were only two princi ple' on which the forego policy of this country could be carried on. If they chose to set themselves up as the champions of the world, if they chose to make themaslves arbitirs in every country's affairs, they might depend upon it they must be premed to fight. Other oountries, as proud se themselves, would not admit of dicta tion in their affairs. Oo the other band, if the governmeut of this coastsy bed made up their mind not to go to war on any account. If peace at any price was to be their policy, then silence and non-inter ference must be a portion of that policy. He wu for maintaining both the pesos and honour of the country • but he maintained that the government had imperilled Hai on and tarnished the other. (Loud opposition cheers.) What the policy of the government bad bees, and what it bad brought the notary to, might be summed up in one short sentence ; they bed made it an open shame to our enemies. sad the very scorn and derision of all that are routed about us. (Load opposition cheers.) The LORD &DVOCATE mod the entice of the right hes. genleman was unquestionably not of the meet implicit cha racter. (Criss of " Oh, oh," and " Beer, hear.") At a time 1864. when it was meat desirable to meek plainly on a subject which was capable of plain and intelligible exposition, the resolution left them in doubt whether it woe for war or peace—(reoawed Mee of "Oh, oh," and "Hear, hoar ") whether the govsinniest was condemned for Attaining from warlike operations or for the mode is width ussolia time had been medulla. With regard to the treaty of 1952 he could not undmitesd how any of the powers who signed it could rime to abide by its ••' whatever might be the obligation thF .. wed to Gems Confederation. When the hos. and t gentleman spoke of the humiliation and th e loss of Buenos on the part of England, he would refer to the despatch of Sir A. Millet, in which he said it was no wonder that the English govern ment had no longer any inflows in the Diet when Austria and Prussia had last theirs. Would the bon. and gallant gentleman have liked to see the tnatyof 1862 trodden in the duet and totally demanded without any remonstrant, whatever! He thought that instead of her Majesty's govern ment deserving • vote of cessiiro, ths country wan under • deep debt of gratitude to theca for their conduct in the affairs. (Laughter from the oppoeiths, and cheers from the other side of the home.) They had been earnest in their endeavours, and had gone on from year to year in the face of great discouragement', having to contend, on the one hand, with the feeling in Germany, which Austria and Prm sia were unable to resist, and cia the other with the high spirit of • gallant nation, keenly sensible of their rights and independence being attacked. Those difficulties had been encountered, and with great moderation and perseverents, though he could not say with ammo. (Oppositios others.) He might fairly say that the efforts of her Ma jesty's government gave Denmark the only chance she had of averting these grim calamities, Than, with respect to the alleged lone of influent* by Eng lead, he saw no symptoms of such • loss in the minutes of the Coatroom. He believed them were those in Europe who were always ready to cavil at the primiplas of England, her free constitution, and to delight in anything which they thought would be dististoful to Englishmen. No doubt sours of the analimMatea in Germany rejoiced to talk of the the of hansom by England, and that chorus was up by the resolution of the right hon. gentleman. had, without hopes( reward, ondemoured to promote the muse of right and humanity and the general good of Europe, and whatever the result of thin debate, be was perfectly certain she had lost noun of her wonted Whence among European power*. (floor, hear.) Lord STANLEY, who was 'waived with cheer& mid be did not think there was any moot why, if they thought foreism affairs had been badly managed, thay should sot pewter to say ao in plain words. (Cheers.) The rem. Intim wee clear and intelligible, and meant that they thought that her Majesty's government bad blundered in their foreign aesthetics' from beginning to sad. (Hear, hear.) That being their opinion, they were bound to ask the lame to say so. [Hear, beer.l Mir Chancellor of the Exchequer made mottle pout He said May were &hock ing the government regardless how in dogs' so they might be misleading the oivatry ; and though be did not &away me the phrase, he wished to vsy that they wore trading en the buniiliatios of E ng land. (Ministerial chem.

Bat if they thosght that the Foreign-cBoe was wrong, and they were not to MD them right, their last chance el netting matters right wee pew Thew the tight how gentleman said the tangoes* of the resolution was unprecedented. Well, be was not prepared with precadants toque**, hot he had some recollection of resolutions proposed on termer omsdons and language media tomer debates conmand with which the Impose of this resolution, and thelanguage which had beta med in this clohats, ccenparstivoly mild. He re membered reading of use memorable instance when the Bret Fart of Maimesbury was exit ea an embassy to Paris daring the revolution in 1796 or 1796, and Mr. Burke, who was strongly tweed to that mimic's, said in reply to an apology foam the government as to the lestib of time occupied, that it was no wonder Lard Mabosibury me • long time Maim he travelled the whole toed upon his knees. nes the Chanodlor of the Exchequer said, " You only indulge in critichm, and you do not offer any advice se to what the government ought to do." Well, he remembered • celebrated etsteeman, ono for whom the Chancellor of the Exchequer peofessed the greatest rams- Sion, who declined to promribe till he was called in. But how would they &dribs! They were not simple socusth to suppose that however ample might be the Warmtien ore hued in those blot books they contained all the in formation on the subject. e did not *harp the prawn meat with any unjustifiable suppression. All be said was that there must in diplomatic &Haire be a great deal that was never made public. He repeated, the& whatever thin resolution might be, it was not • reolutio• for war. If It were, DO consideration would induct him to support it. He would at mos de clare that to sogap ia an European war for the mks of the dookies would be an act not of impolicy, hat inamity. (Hear, hear.) And he was willing to think that, when be talked ea he did, it was not the announciontoot of a porky, but rather the isdalsence of an iseetorato habit. (Laugh ter.) But to talk of piss to war when Oopolugres was attacked was the same eo if MOW friendly &mpan power were to say to us, if we were attacked by an over ' whedming power, "Scotland may bo invaded and England, and we will not defied you, but touch the Isle of Wight and thou me what we will den" (Laughter.) Bat he did not want to dwell our that. He was ready to assume that the policy of t h e govegurnest imam of pesos. The amend ment although it did not my one word he did not believe, implied a great deal to which he did not give his assent. Re denied that there was any cosnection between the humiliat ing position in which England was plated and s pithy (Apiece.

If they had not given this advice to Denmark it was possible that Denmark might not have misted as she had doors, and that amicable arrange ments might have been mane to.

Everyone would nemenabor • phrase which we uttered eleven years ago, and which had become liietorioaL It was said that the Crimean war was one that England had drifted into. He did not prase to my that the,, was any peat appridemios that the same thing would happen again, far he believed that the country was more widea-was now than it was then. It wee, however, possible for the country to get into • positioe in which it had no alternative but to go to war or suffer, if not dishonour, discredit. In this can there was no fear of our going to war, and he did not ece how we could map* the other alternative. Such • state of things was one that be thought called for • protest on the part of the home, and if there was to be an appeal from its derision, he trusted that it would be prosecuted as soot as possible.
