4 ' OPENING OF PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LOADS. Upon tbe re-aeserebling of their lordships for business, at 5 o'clock, there was a large attendance of peers, including neerly all the leading members on both sides of the house, and most of the bishops. The Marquis of Sligo, the mover of the address, appeared in the uniform of an officer of the London Irish Volanteer Brigade ; and the seconder, Lord Abercromby, wore a deputy lieutenant's uniform. Before the commenoement of the discussion the Prince of Wales entered the hones, accompanied by the Duke of Cambridge, and took his seat upon the cross benches facing the woolsack. NEW PEERS. The following new pears took the oaths :—Lord Armesler, Lord Houghton, the Earl of Charlemont, Lord Cheeham, the Marquis of Nornmaby, the Archbishop of Armagh, the Bishop of Glouosater and Bristol. and Lord Eandys. THE ADDRESS. The LORD CHANCELLOR having read the royal speech, The Marquis of SLIGO rcee to move the edam's to her Majesty in reply. He observed that though he had had for some years the honour of a seat io their lordship.' house, he had taken very little part in their discassioes. He hoped that the motioo he had now to submit would inset with fell discussion, but be anticipated that it would be adopted with entire unanimity. Lord ABERCROMBIE, after stating that notwithstand lag the trials which our commerce in the north of England kid endured, it was satisfactory to find from abunclaot evi dence that our former prosperity was returning, concluded by upre g a hope that the address would be uoanimously speed to. I Hear, bear.) The question having been pat by the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lonl DERBf. after alluding to the birth of a son to the Prince of Wales as an I happy promise for the future, referred with mtiafaction to the general prosperity of the country, notwithstending the interruption of the supply of cotton and the consequent distress io the menu facturim: districts. He hoped, however, that the heaviest pressure of suffering wee at as end, and stated the grounds oo which he based his hopes of improvement. Passion to the other topics of her Majesty's speech, be referred to the commission to be appointed to inquire int, the subject of subscription by the clergy of the Church of England. He feared that the result of such an inquiry would not be proportionate to the magnitude of the machinery em ployed is it. He then called the attention of the house to the portion of the speech relating to foreign affairs. Her Majeety's government bad for two or three yearn past mainly rested their claim to public ooafideoce on their fo reign policy. They had abandoned the qieetion of parlia mentary reform the moment it had served the purpose of placing them is office. The fulfilment of the promisee they had made wee defeated by Lord Rumen, and when he was transferred to the more serene atmosphere of the House of Lords he pronounced the funeral °ninon of reform. He had told them to "rest and be thankful; and from that tiros their foreign policy had been the groundwork of the claim of her Majesty's government to public confidence. This policy he examined and criticised. Its chief principles were stated to be the maintenance of a good understanding with Prance, and n on -iotervention with the internal affairs of other countries. With regard (continued the noble earl) to eon intervention in the internal affairs of other countries, if I I look around me I find it difficult to say what country it is with whose internal affairs the noble earl and the govern ment have not iuterfered— Nibil inteettun Nihil tenet quad non— I mut not say,' ornavit," but"couturhavit." (Laugh ter. ) But to sum up the foreign policy of the noble earl en almtrative of his " non-intervention." it may be expre ssed in two very short and homely words, " meddle" and meddle." (Loud laughter. ) The whole course of the correspondence with the foreign countries, great and mid, with which differences have &rem, has been that of lecturing. scolding. Umbering, and retreating. (Laughter.) I cannot look at the foreign policy of the noble earl and the government without being reminded of another great and distinguished body of actors commemorated, en your lord ships will recollect, in Midsummer Nights Dream, where the two principal performers are Bottom the Weaver, and Snug the Joiner. The noble earl appears to me to combine the qualities of those two distiognished performers in him self. lie is like Bottom the Weaver, for he is ambitious to play every part ; but thatin which he is most like is " Moon shine." Bat above all, his most favourite part is that of Lion. The noble earl says, " Let me play Lice. I will roar that it shall do • rosn's heart good. I will roar so that the Duke shall say,' Well roared, lion; well roared, lice.' " (Laughter.) The noble earl knows as well as say one bow to follow that other example of Snug where he spoke fmin behind his mask and said, " I will roar you u gently as any sucking dove," and moreover the noble earl has had recourse to that rime original and ingenious device, sad for fear the audience should be too much alarmed be has said, " Let us show one half of our faces from under the screen, sod that for all my roaring I am Do lion at all, but only honest Song the Joiner." There was one very important difference to observe :—Bot tem the Weaver, and Sang the Joiner were possessed with a very en aloes desire that they should sot too much alarm the ladies—(laughter)—end consequently they made • dia titterers of their intentions in order that their audience might not be alarmed. Now, here, though the roaring is the row ing of the lion, the face is the face of the noble earl—(re. mewed laughter) —that annommement was not made betimes b order that the audience might not be frightened, but be. cause the noble earl found that all the roaring in the world would not frighten them. (" Hear," and laughter.) Bat seriously, my lords, for though there may be something ludicrous in it, it in a matter of too great importance to be treated only in this light and jocular man ner—seriously, I cannot but feel as an Englishman that I am humiliated sod inbred in my own estimation—and that the country r humiliated—when I End that the result of the noble load's edministration of foreign affairs is not only that we have not in Europe at this moment one a:ogle friend, but that this great England— this great country, whose failing. if it was • faillng,was that it went straight to the poiat at which it mimed—this couniry which never heretofore promised without due intention to peeler's which never threatened without an intention to strike, which never made • demand without determining that the demand should if necenery be enforced—that this great country is now in the eyes of all Europe, under the administratioo of the noble earl and the present govern. ment, in the position not only that we have not • friend in Europe. but that her menaces are disregarded, her magnilo quest language is ridiculed, and that her remonstrances are blared with contemptuous indifference by the smaller as well as by the greater powers. (Cheers.) Harmony and good understanding with France '. Why, my lords, it we are ors • footing of cordial good usdereandimi with France, all I can say is that the Emperor of the Free& must be the most forgiving and the mod forbearing of all earthly poten tates, because there is hardly a question of recent times in which we have not —I do not my purposely, but it so hap pened—thwarted his policy and exposed him to a position painful to hie feelings and humiliating to the pride of hie seentry. (Hear, hear.) My lords, I find no fault with the noble earl for having withdrawn so soon es • considerable change was perceptible from co-operation with the Emperor of the French the Whirs of Mexico. A.t the time that question was first under diecusion I deliberately expressed try great regret that we were exposiog ourselves to possible inomvenieem and embarraammet by not demanding sad enforcing the claims we bad ourselves made with respect to Mexico. Ido not blame the noble earl for withdrawing from the enterprise ea soon as it was discovered to be of a more extensive cha racter than was originally contemplated ; but at the same time the noble earl placed us, whether rightly or wrongly, in • position in which our °redact was not very favourably considered by the people of Fran" and which added much to the embarrassments of the Emperor of the French. Further, I believe it to be notorious that the Emperor et the French was very desirous to take steps at all events towards a recognition of the Confederate Stehle of America, but the noble earl, whether r4htly or wrongly, opposed himself to that policy, and the En. 1 parer, with so earnest desire to co-operate with this country as far as possible, shaped his policy in accordance with the policy of this country, and accommodated his view■ to those of this country. The noble earl then remarked that from the Mexican expedition England had withdrawn, and it bad not supported the Emperor's policy in tektites to the Confederate States of America. It had also declined the Emperor's proposition of a congress. He admitted the difficulties that would have been encountered, but if say country was lees justified than another in meeting the suggestion with a blunt refusal it was Easiest]. This country bad no intense that could have been affected by the con gress. The proper course would have been to recognise, the beoevolant intentions of the Emperor, and, stating that England had no interest that could provost bar taking part in the minuses to have experienced • mediums to co-operate in such • laudable design, provided we received assurances that other States would submit to such an arbitration. Then, if the plan failed, the failure would bare caused no ill-feeling between England and Frasce. It must have been known that the Danish and German question was pending, sod if the proposition of bolding a congress could have postponed but for • @bort time the extreme steps that had been takes, there would be now a better propect of restoring the peace it wastes late to ,reserve. As to the points in dispute home's Gerrusay and Denmark. it ought not to have been difficult to settle them without an appeal to arms. The noble earl proceeded : I should have tho u ght that there could have been no diffi culty I. ascertaining if the respective parties were willing to listen to meson and to the intercession and mediation of other and friendly powers There could have been no difli. malty in'estertaining whether the terms which had been so. tend into by Denmark had been fulfilled or not, and whether PreseLt was or was not exacting more than she had aright to demand in virtue of the stipulations of the treaty of 1851. I do not question the right of Prussia to enforce those Mimi. latione to the utmost, nor do I question the obligation on the part of Denmark strictly to fulfil them, so far as circan. dances feeder it possible, and their fulfilment was not pre. vested by the obstacles thrown in their way by one of the parties mainly concerned. But sorely the question whether a eoestitutional step taken by the sovereign of an iadepeedeet counter with regard to a portion of hie own dominions ever which, except for this engagement—(l wish it bed been a treaty which would bars been much more to the purpose, and which would not have left the matter to thelocse stipula tions of correspondence, on which alone it rests at present) - Clernmay world have had no possible right to Interfere, was THE^ EXPRESE4 - I_I4IDAY .--FATTAINE4 - embodies a lsh, H the goverestest of thill imuntry had exercised the iallesoce it possessed, it might by goW ma. segemmit hers Nettled satisfactorily without sodugering the peon of the whole of Europe. How can you expect that Cressy will rude Irma her pretensions, obstinately e n fo rce d sad impatiently urged as they am upon • people who are oasteeding for what they believe to be their liberty sod independence, who In that contest no doubt will carry with them • great amount of the sym pathy of Europa, mom especially when the dispro portion of the forces are (=adored - how can you expect to sunrise that influence when you have alienated France, offended Howie, and quarrelled more or leis with every power in Europe—when you have not a ccuutry you could callyour friend, and when the danger which threatens you in addition to all other complications is • destructive sad fatal war between England and all the powers of Ger many witted? I cannot imagine that it is possible to con template &position more full of peril, or which threatens more the pesos of Europe. France alienated, Russia and Prude offended, England committed to • sanguinary con test against the whole united force of Germany in respect to & question on which the feeling of the people of Germany is excited as that of one man, I frankly say that I should shrink from suoh a war as one of the greatest disasters that could befall this country, and I earnestly hope the noble earl opposite— who must give us some clear, deficits indication of the policy which her Majesty's government are prepared to adopt on the question of foreign policy generally, and more especially on the German question—will make such an explanation as will col:mime the house and the country that we Sr. sot committed by any act or deed of the government, on the one hand, to • disastrous war with Germany, or on the other, to the betrayal and shandomest of an ally who has trusted to oar protection. I have seen it urged, but I think the go vernment will hardly accept such • plea, that it is for par liament to indicate to the government the course it should take. Thar, however, is not the course usually adopted, not is it the constitutional coarse; for it is the ministers, the responsible &rimers of the crown, who are responsible to parliament ; and it is for them to decide upon the worse of policy which they shall adopt, and to announces it to pa lamest for its ap proval or condemnation. Ido not pretend to judge of the position in which matters steed at present ; I only know that we are between the horse of a dilemma of the most formidable character, namely, the sacrifice of the honour of the country on the one heed, or the engagement in a most perilous end disastrous war on the other. (Hear, bear.) If, however, it be &subject of pusher interest to England—ad I think that the subect of a possible war with Germany would be ono of the deepest interest and regret to English men—l would implore Germany to consider what coo/se quences such • war must entail on her. It is sot only the breaking up of old relations and the; severing of old friend ships; tt is not the breaking of ties between countries which may be said to be connected almost by ties of consanguinity, but it is giving an opportunity to all who are opposed to the stability of her institutioes, who are desirous to profit by anything that may tend to disorder or confusion ; all who envy the rising prosperity of Germany and growing strength of Austria under the well directed force of the constitutional proceedings she has adopted —a war with England waged by Austria would atop bee at once on that coarse of prosperous advancement—would entail on her all the elements of discord, excite all the elements of revolution throughout Europe—and England would be in the unhappy position of being an unwilling and unconscious participator in bringing forth that great evil. (Hear, hear.) Without outing the slightest imputation oa the designs of France, Germany must see that • I war with England would, at all events, leave her is such a state that, France would be the muter of the position and that if she did entertain any ambitious views toward; Germany, that would be the moment of Germany's greatest peril and England's greatest temptati on . every cuss of Lord Ramell'e interference he bad offended, not one side only, but both. He had offended the Confederates, and from the Federate he had been met by • demand that oat-blustered Lord Russell himself. The Federal govern. merit held this country responsible for all the damarm the commerce of the North had su ff ered from the Alabama. He (Earl Darby) hoped the despatch bad been answered is • manner that would put an end to all such demands. In conclusion, he recapitulated the existing differences betel/ea her Majes ty's government and most of the European powers, and denounced the policy that had produced such embaussimeets as • source of national danger. Lord RUSSELL defended the course he had taken on the ground that intervention generally failed of its object, and aggravated the evils it sought to prevent. He did not admit Lord Derby's principle that England was bound to accept whatever France proposed. As to Mexico, her Majesty's government had stated from the Ingests( that England bad no intention of regulating the internal affairs of that country. We acted to obtain redress of our own grievances, not to set up any particular form of government. As to the French proposal is referee°e to the states of the Amadeu confederacy, it would have irritated the people d the North, a d failed to attain it. pur pose.- He believed the general policy of England fully approved the resolution of the government to remain neutral in the conflict. As to the plan of • °merges, the Polish and Italian questions at once prevented Austria and Russia from taking any part in the proceeding, and without the cooperatios of the great poem the scheme must have failed. Her Majesty's goverment had given the Emperor of the French every credit for his motives, but England was quite justified is considering whether the congress was likely to promote the peace of Europe or sot. In this quest." as well as on the war is America, England had a right to pursue its own policy aod crousider ileum Moneta Having mieutely described the meow for negotiating the treaty of 1852, to settle the succession of the Danish crown, and sketched the present state of the dispute between Germany and Den mark, he characteriesd the ea:key of Austria and Preemie to rush into war as something inexpbeable sad melancholy. It was the with of forty millions of Germain to be • great end united nation. Bat this they believed they could not become without attacking Denmark. The position of that kingdom was most unhappy. Whatever might be the form of the Germs. governowats, whether the couervative or the democratic principle was in the secoadancy, the Germs. mind soused but on the desires:oos of Denmark. Friuli., and Austria had not repudiated the treaty of 1852. To prove they had not be read the last despatch received from Berlin, contaisisg tbareply of thegovernment of Prussia toe distinct question on the subject. This despatch was as follows " Berlin, January 31, 1864. " M. Le Comte,—The government of the King, by bowleg on the stipulations of 1851-2 the rights which, in °motet with Austria, it is proceeding to enforce upon Denmark, has by this very act recogoised the prieciple of the integrity of the Danish monarchy as established by the transactions of 1851-52. The government of the Kim, in proceeding to the occupation of Sleswig, does not intend to depart from this principle. If, however, in consequence of complications which may be brought about by the persistence of the Danish government in its refusal to accomplish its promises of 1852, or by the armed intervention of other powers in the D eco-German conflict, the King's goverameet was to tied itself compelled to renounce combinations which would so logger offer • result proportionate to the sacrifices which events might impose upon the Gurnee powers, no definitive arrangements could be made without the concurreees of the powers who signed the treaty of London. The British ' government would then and the King's government ready to come to an agreemeat with them as to the definitive arrangement of the Deno-German . question. Your Excellency is requested to road and give • copy of this despatch to Earl Russell.—(Sigel) Bisirsecx." I have already said (continued the adds earl) it would depend on events to give se interpretation to that answer. It may be that, having oceupied Rissole, or only put of Sleswig, Austria and Prussia would be ready to consider with other powers what may be fairly demanded of Demuth consistently with the integrity of the Danish moos:shy. If they should be mode rate is their proposals, and if the other powers of Europe be anxious for peace, as I believe them to be, it may be pos sible to &Mugu a permanent and advantageous arrange ment of this difficult &Heir ; and bee Majesty's goverontent would greatly rejoice at such an Igoe. We have made many —some will say too many—effects towards the preserva tion of peace is the way of advising the various parties to make socommons, whilst at the same time we have not adviaed anything which does not put i Denmark in a better position by putting her in the right. "Thrice is he armed who bath his quarrel just." We advised no cooosesioa to Denmark whica it was not right for her to yield, and at no time have we give. any ametarice, nor even hopes of material assistance. The Danish minister has repeatedly said to me, " We expect no material 'unusual from this country, all we expect is sympathy." That is the state of our (muumuu as re i garde Denmark, but what the filters may brut forth it would be rash for rue to predict. It would be rash even to attempt an clothse of what may happen with the troops actually fighting in the disputed territory. I do ask to- night, having stated in as far ies I could what has taken place, and 'outriding as soon as possible to give the actual papers that have pawed, Ido ask that your lordships may agree to decide, as smuts err arise, what shall be best for the pesos of Europe, for the welfare of Denmark as an in dependent kingdom, and also for the real welfare of Germany. I am happy to say that in France, is Rude, and in this country, there is the greatest desire to maintain peace, and if three such powers are disposed to maintain peace, I cannot believe that any long war is likely to occur in Europe. It will be the object of the govern ment not rashly to commit themselves to any policy which • may entail evils upon this country. But at therm* time I must, accepting whet the noble earl said, state that it is the duty of the government not to look to parlianieot for suggestions or seek advice from pull/meat, but to look seriously at the situation of the country, and to avail them- selves of all the lights which they ma 014.011; but having so availed themselves, mid thee made up their mieds, to state to parliament what is their policy, and to stand or fall by the result—that is their duty. ( Hear," and cheers.) Lord GREY thought England .iuglit have created an ire. preesion is Denmark that aid would be f 'welshed to that country. U so, with the force at their coantisod, more might have beau done without difficulty, though he did not say that such • course ought to have been taken. He re gretted the 'meats that bad involved this country in each difficulties is Jams. China, and New Zealand. Lord GRANVILLE deeded that the government was bound to istersiene in the Gorman sad Danish conflict, merely beaus it had • large force, without reference to the interests of this country. The coarse the government had laid down was the just bee of policy to pursue —to hold out no hope it could not realise, and to avoid asy language tending to mcoorsge those from whom the government dif fered in supposing they could act with perfect iinpnoity. The motion for the address was then agreed to, and their lordships adjourned et 25 agnates to 10. ROUSE OF OOMMONS. —Mummy, F'irs.

The responsible government of a great country could not follow that course, or say in the face of Europe that whatever might occur, it was impossible for them to have MOWS* to any means beyond diplomacy. A confuskm appeared to I exist in the minds of many as to the nature of the wan ' which were waged in them days. It was mid that all wars sprang from king and aristocracies ; but the great struggles of the preeent day appeared rather to have their origin in the aspirations and the interests of the peoples. (Opposi tion cheers.) The wars to Italy, in Poland, and in America wens all waged for popular ideas ; and the war now existing is Germany had like wise • national and popular origin. (Cheers.) It was sot kings that now waged war for their own ag grandisement, but nations which fought for their own inte rests or for ideas which were rooted in the popular mind. If it were merely • question whether • Glucksburg or an Augustmbarg should rule in Denmark, one might well sub scribe to the strong deelaration they had heard, that it would be criminal in England in any event to go to war in such a quarrel (Cheers.) But if • treaty was made In 1852, and so many European powers had declared it to be essential to the peace of Europe that the integrity of Denmark abeuld be preserved, the issue seemed to him to be • very different one. It might be an open question what our engagements and interests wens, or what our hooour might command us to do • but he thought it was for the interest of this country at 'least to protest against the assumptioo that the Sleserig.Holstein difficulty was use in which, under no circumstances whatever, we should allow ounelves to be involved. (Cheers.) It was ucivernally believed on the oontinent that nothiog would indnoe England to go to war. (Opposition cheers.) It was believed that we had got an interested motive. The German people thought that we were jealous of the free harbour of Kiel falling into German hands, by which our commercial prosperity might be impaired. (Laughter.) The house might have full confidence that the government of this country would not depart from the system of non-interference so far as it was practically possible to abide by it. The government bad given too many pledges that they would not interfere in disputes be tween subjects and their governments. Mr. DISRAELI began by complaining of the deficiencies in the speech of the royal commissioners. No notice was wee taken, he observed, of the condition of Ireland. It would have been wise and politic, he thought, to acknow ledge not only the existence of diaries in Ire land, but the moaner in which it bad been borne. He should like, he said, to have seen some reference to America in the speech, the omission of which he oonsidered strange. It would have been satidactory to know whether the principle of neutrality was still reoognised, sad whether, during the =it had bees impartially observed sad strictly en- Nothing was said about China, or of the diplo matic action regarding Poland, or of the proposal of the Emperor of the French for a Conger. There was a still more remarkable and • significant omis sion, which the house could not allow to pus un noticed. Parliament was not congratulated, as usual, upon the frieelly relatioce between this country Lod foreign powers. Reviewing the diplomatic action of the govern ment in relation to Russia, Greece, and Franca, he censured the mode and manner in which the proposal of the French Emperor for • congress had bees met by the Foreign Se cretary. Although it could not be said that the affair of SleswigHobiteis was not notioed in the speech of the royal commissioner, ha complained of the manner in which the questioa had been put before the House of Commons, , stowing that her Majesty', government avoided giving an opinion upon it. The paragraphs in the speech appeared to him to be drawn up to prepare the home for what were cossidered the logical consequences of Lord Palmerston's speech of last year. He objected to this mode of treating the hones. If (said the right hos. gentlemen) there be • me topes, of the crown it is the prerogative of making mem or war without the interference of parliament, by her Majesty sad by the advice of her responsible ministers. If her Majesty is of opinion that the country should go to war for any cause or any side — if her ministers should advise her to take that step, and there is a war, whether the war be just or unjust, parliament, I have no doubt, would supext her Majesty, at the same time taking their constitutional opportunity of expressing their opinion of the government in order to obtain information and throw light on the subject. I mentios this particularly because 1 do not think her Majesty's government ass entimst for the very courteous manner in which they treat the Home of Commons. It is oely very recently- not by the noble lord, but I dare say by writes whom he recosnims as great mas ters of the English lansmag•—thrit the affairs of this coun try have bees npresested ss being DOW carried on in a very satisfactory way as fez as the Home of Commons L eciecersed—that the meat dspartaeeta are there represented by under-secretaries, and that nobody cares about what they do or say—(laughter)—end that the relations between the ministers and the House of of Commons are fast arriving at that satisfactory condition which subset. between the French chamber sad their nester. Well, humiliate us if you like, degrade us if we must submit, but at may rate don't call up on us to bear the responsibility. (" Hear," and laughter.) If the relations of the Home of Commies are feat appeosching to the same condition as the relations of the French chamber to their =Am, then I say the house ham • joss right to look to the government to do that which, is the language of the day, is called " taking the initiative." I, for cm, will sot help government in the difficulties is which they Sad themselves by coming forward with • out sad dry policy to settle all the difficulties of Europe. (Hear.) The condition of Europe is, no doubt, can of very grave character, and upon the conduct of the government and of the parliament very much depends. We inset look to minister, to frame their policy, and I have no doubt that when it is brought beton us, if it is wise and fair, the house will unanimously approve it. But I have always men that when foreign affairs occupy the attention of the ' house there has always been an abeam of party strife and feeling. (Hear, boar.) If we believe that the country is espied in • just sod bit quarrel, who'rer may form the government, the House of Commons will support them. (Hier, hear.) If we go to war let us be sure in the drat Mom that the war is just and areassary. And if just sad necessary, whether it might not have been messaged (by more conciliatory and skilful counsels. (Hear, hear.) I think I bare shows' some ramose why the House of Commons and the country should look with some suspicion on our foreign policy. I looked at it with sumicioo last year, became I thought there was an uncertainty sod inconsistency in the courses mootamended by different members of the cabinet which seemed to portend the greatest of all evils in public affairs—indecision whoa the critical hour arrives. (Cheers.) The government seam to me to resemble, not the Prism of Augustenliurg, not the Prises of Glucksburg, but that prime who w il l survive them both—that Prince of Denmark who was Marto of PurPow— " The times are out of joint ; oh, cured 71* That I was ever born to met them right.

(Hear, bear.) It could hardl have been in our expsetatioe when we but met, whim we to those bold words of th e noble lord . . ou the position of Damask, end the determination of Eng land to uphold Denmark—for that was the only isterpreta. Sion that could be put oa hie declaration—it oonld hardly have been in our belief then that during the six months that elapsed since thee, a policy so profound, so adroit, so deeply skilful, should have bees pursued by her Majesty's gomawnesat—that they bad cootrived in that specs of time to forfeit alike the confidence of Rums and to lose the cordiality of France. (Bear, hear.) That seemed a masterpiece. but what are we to my of mea who, having brought about two such opposite regalia, should sow be witli;s an ace of going to war with Germany? (Bear, bear.) I must end ma I began. What are your object, sad who are your allies ? (Heir, hear.) I will sot say you have sate ; you have the King of Denmark, whom you are not going to aid. (A laugh.)

But when they come forward to us in, I think, as desolate a conditiou is respect to their foreign policy as any government could be planed in, they are bound to act with fraaknem—they are bound to MU England at this moment what is the policy they recommend, sad I am coefideut the country and rament will support them if their muse is just— bear, hear)—and I am equally ears that, having brought our affairs to this oosilitios, if they have at this mome n t so policy whatever, they here sot fulfilled their duty se Lectern of the mown. (Cheers.) The Doble lord may tell me—it is ow of the Mereotyped pumges is his speeches—if you have sot confideoce in the misisters of the crows why don't you tell us so ? I tell the noble lord that when the opportunity Is fitting we will of course challenge the opinion of parliament. These is no opportunity given in that document which I bold in my hood. Would it be becoming is me to move an &mini. meat to the address because there is incongruous diplomatic language is them three paragraphs ? That is not a ground upon which the Maus of state should be decided. Will the noble lord inform us what is his policy Will he place the necessary papers before toho house, which papers are not promised is the speech of the royal oommianiosers ? We are told, indeed, that her Majesty is actuated by the same desire to preserve peace, and has bees unremitting is her eadeavours for that object- But what 'vides°, have we that those labours have bees waremitted 'f I should have thought the noble lord would have appeared at the her on the first eight of the amolea, mil *sad same of the ptocb as the WM of the Muss` What has imeamaref the mimics of Lord Workhouses ?

Give us the documents which will throw the necessary light upon the present state of public' affirm, now involved in obscurity, perplexity, and mystery. and we will form upon those documents a fair parliamentary opinion. If the policy of the government is cleat and straight, they will be supported . but if they have no policy, if they are at this criti cal moment without allies, looking for the vague eympatby of parliament to guide and support them, I say they are taking an unworthy course, that they are unfit for the offices they fill, and the place* they occupy, and if it is proved that is the state of affairs, I do sot believe parliament will hesitate to express its opinion epee their conduct. (Cheers) Lord PALMERSTON observed that the objections of Mr. Disraeli related not to what the speech of the Royal Commissioners contained, bat to what it did not contsia ; and he briefly explained the reasons for the oinissices am planked of. As to the manner in which the proposal of the Emperor of the French had bees received lad &bewared, he denied that there was anything uncoorteons in the de spatches of Earl Russell. The habits of this conntry were more plain and simple than those of other countries • but there was nothing on our part that could be justly ialled unoourteous or unfriendly, and our relations with Frame were as cordial as before. With respect to the Sleswig. Holstein question, Mr. Disraeli complained that the govero meet came down to the house without a policy. He denied it. The policy of the government was to eodeavour to bring the question to a kindly settlement. in conneximi with the treaty of 1852. He was happy tory that, within the last few hours, be had received information that Austria and Prussia were prepared so declare their readiness to abide by the treaty, and to maintain the integrity of the Danish monarchy. He promeded to explain the course of action adopted by the diet and by Austria sod Preemie, its object., and the ceases which had rendered the govern ment of Denmark backward in fulfilling what he considered to be its obligation. The required concessions, however, had been Idris/ally mode by Newark ; but, unfortunately, Austrisaad Prussia, in spite of omelet suggestions sod ages of a guarantee by the British government. had determined most unjustifiably to take possession of Sleswig as a material guarantee. One motive no doubt (continued the noble lord) has been that they think the winter season more favourable far their operatiom than the spring, and that in the winter it would be more difficult for the Danes to receive military or naval aid from any other power that might be disposed to afford it. But they have now de clared that they are ready to 'mouses that they mean as soon as possible to seed • formal declaration that they abide by the treaty of 1852, that they maintain the integrity of the Danish umearday, mad that the invasion of Elkiewig, however lamentante and however moth we may deplore the effusion at blood which has takes place, is not intended to dismember the Danish monarchy, but to maintain the integrity of Denmark whenever the condition they attach to the entry into Sleswig shall have been em ptied with. The right hoe. gentleman complain, that in the spmch we have not proposed to lay any papers of the table. Sir, we thought the speech long enough, and did not wish to smoother it witli.unoscomary stem:neat+ ; of course, we shall lay papers on the table, and I only wish joy to any man who may have to read them. (Laughter.) It has takes • great many hours a day to go through the multitude of despatcher, and perhaps my noble friend will tot think it necessary to encumber the table with all we have bad to read ; but I mime the right boo. gentleman that enough will he given to the house Minable any body to exactly secer- Jain the course of events and the policy of her Majesty's go vernment. The last complaint of the right hon. gentleman is that there is nothing in the speech which enabled him to move an amendment. I mat say that that is • very mar ! %dying circumstance, and of this he is entitled to complain ' —(a langh)—for it may be said, in a parliamentary sense, that while it is the duty of the opposition to move mead meats if possible, it is also part of the fair game on both sides of the house that the government should furnish the opposition with • peg on which to hang those amendments. (Laughter.) I regret that the goverment are wanting in that respect, and I offer an apology to the right bon. madman for the omission, which has saved the house from that lengthened debate which might have followed upon an amendment founded upon an incautious or mitiarded expression. (Laughter.) Thanking the right hon. gentleman far his very courteous, tru and unqualified promises of support when we oome to state what our policy is, I am persuaded that any further de velopment of policy will receive his acquiescence mid sup port, and if he ham any hesitation, I will remind him of the assurances he has made, and in the meantime amuse him that the policy of her Majesty's gommeneet is • policy of peace—(cheare)—end that the meet laborious sad mire milting efforts will be made to reconcile differeoses, and to prevent quarrels and collision between the states of Europe ; acid I am persuaded that that policy—which I maintain to be a policy, will modes the approbation of the house, and until I hear anything to the contrary, thisardice of the oouatry. (Loud cheers.) _ _ _ _ Mr. & FriZGERALD eauMeded that Lad Palnierstcm had pot aoswered the cejectioes of Yr. Diemen, who bad corepleMed that the past policy of the government had bees soubased, vacillating, arid oostradistorr, and he pointed out indications of these chanoterktios of their palmy is their diplomatic connounicatioes with the Danish govern. meet is relation to the Duchiea Haring brought matters to a deogerous crisis, he wanted to know what the . meat proposed to do, is order. in furtherance of their peace policy, to secure the peace of Europe. If we were to steed by sad see conosesion made after coomeatoe, oar policy would be justly stigmatised seas ignominious policy. Mr. O. DUFF eetered into the details of the I Hagan inestioa, pursuing it at considerable 'moth is all Its intricsons and complicaticat. He was of opinion that ' the Duke of Auguatelerg was garbled to rale in Holstein, ! sad probably in Sleswig. England, he coosidered, had no interest whatever in the quarrel. Sir IL VERNEY dimmed the details of the tame qua lion, which. be said, really was whether • fkazdinavian rata should muses a German was. Mr. HENNESSY adverted to a declaration by Earl Rummell that, by the violatioe of the treaty of Visas., Russia had forf said a title to Poisod, sod asked why that de,- Mustn't had been withdraws from a despatch. Ho tom plaited of the policy of the goverment in rela tion to Poland. and accused the Emperor of Ramis of being tint real author of the minorities exercised testate the Polas.

CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER denied that there was say divine ia the cabinet en the Blentrie-Hop. stens question, sad said that the gum and saistmee of the advice which the government had give. to Denmark was that she should fulfil her engagements. So far frau one. teaming • debt to Denmark, or any other enatry, by Mtn( that advice, ha held that they had performed the part of a true friend, sod motioned apes her a real obli gatioo. Lord JOHN MANNERS said the Debi. lard at the bead 1 of the government had the satisfaction of knowing that 1 he spoke not only for himself, but for two other members of his cabinet, a freak proof to the boos of the notability in the council of ministers. (A lamb.) The noble lord mid that tin policy of the govern meet, which had bees sooosesfal, was to animals pesos; bat had pane bees maistained ? (Hoer, hear.) The sank lord alio said that within the last few boors they had no.

Did that deg's:atlas satisfy the country for Oa abandonment of Denmark, and fat its being rat over by the troops of Austria and Proton ? Th. gob'. lord admitted that Austria and Prussia asked an impossibility of De imark, end of what did it cousin? A demand at the point of the sword that the King of Datum* should by the stroke of hie pan , net merely suspend. but abrogate and destroy the oommog coernitutioa which had been given. That was a deemed which they were now told by the right hoe. pntleems in no way con cerned the rights and lodependeoce of Denmark. The gable lord said that this invasion of Danish territory we., if sot °outsells& ataay rate samested by the English govenumet. (" No, so," from Lord PALWEINTON.) He eartaialy loader stood him to my that in trivia( with Austria and Prise* in order to keep there straight with 'aspen to their treaty obligations contracted is 1852, he stated that if they had • quarrel with Denmark about iotertational stipulations which Deems rk mi6t have catered into with the. is 1851, if they said that Deemed' had diereaarded Mune to sad sot fulfilled theta, then they had a perfeot t, if so minded, to go to war. If that statement were made to Austria mid Prima by her Ma jests gonna. mint, those orieutries in what they were sow doing were acting, if not aim the advice, at soy mit of the suggestion, of her Majesty's government.

Mr. H.

Sir J. FAKINGTON baited the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs to give the full substance of the despatch referred to by Lord Palmerston u h.oung arrived wit bin the last few hours. Mr. LAYAHD read the despatch accordingly. (It will be found is the report of the proceedings in the House of eek) Mr. WHITESIDE thought the boo. gentleman would be adding to his kindness if he would aka throw that light upon the document which it rto much required. Mr. KLNIGLAKE hoped the goverement would peon before eupgiog the country any further is this matter. I they did vast Lod colossal indeed must be their prepare bone.

Mr. NEW DEGATE said he believed that the pro. pie of this country were pre-eminently a practical people, and that they looked at this Danish question io a very different light to the Polish insurrection of last year. Besides they could reach Denmark, and the pswen now oppressing her, bat they could riot reach Poland. He did not wish the government to take soy step beyond what the Judie, of the use demanded. But the noble lord had &awed that the present aggression was perfectly unjus tifiable_ ; because if Denmark had not fulfilled her engage ment else was reedy to do so. Bat now she was prevented from fulfilling any mpg...menus by the occupation of her territory. There was a feeling in Germany that there ought to be some extension of the territory of the country, and that had induced the great powers to undertake a war upon Denmark, which the noble lord had rightly aid was most usjustafiable.
