Thu Duke of NIT/CANTLE rid the circular despatch of 11. Thourcael had rely been received within the bat 24 boon.

It would therefore be premature for kiln men to poonise th.t it would be laid ea the ta`de. (Hear, hear.)

The ripen ta meshes mid thee Mr. Clobiss preteadied to be what was tanned trerteder and • democrat, and yet when is Russia he was in favour of • despotic go verment, and was now on such does terms of inti macy with the Emperor of France that he declared, ad withateuelitiu the restnetims on the liberty of the prow-- notwithstanding the French Chamber was what he would have the Home et Commons brought to--a place to register the diaries of the French Em he could not yet un deemed that the French people had anything to complain of. Therefore, said the honourable gentleman the member for North Warwickshire, it amid be little wondered at that Mr. Cobden should feel little interest in the people of this count ,or in what he trusted would still sendintie to be an independent Home o/ Commons. Mr. grabs continued to say that he understood the statement made by the boo. gentleman the member for North War wickshue was taken from • newspaper published in Man chester, and which notoriously had been unfriendly to his hon. friend the member for Rochdale. His hon. friend had written him a letter, in which he stated that the entire of the statement in queetien was utterly devoid d Eu u ralion. He had never expreseed the statement attri buted to him, or the opposite of it, or anything like either, for he had never uttered a single opinion on the matter. It was purely fiction. (Hear, hear.) It might be as well said he had picked the pockets of a French gentleman, whose name there was no need for him (Mr. Bright) to men tion. The boo, member for Roclulaki said further in the letter to the hon. member for Birmingham —" Prny speak to Br. Newilegate, and ask hint to retract the statement. I am utterly astonished that the hon. member for North Warwickeinre should be capable of propagating such • calumny on an sheen member of the home." (Hear, hear.) Now, he (Mr. Bright) had given notice to the honourable gentleman of his intention to make this statement, end must say Le felt quite sure the hon. gentleman would cot willingly propagate a calumny of that sort, eel that it arose from au oversight, of which, perhaps, they were all at times guilty, when they fulminated attacks upon political opconents. He thought, however, after what had been stated, that the hon. gentleman would at ones express his ri...,ret at hating been misled into • statement so un founded, so that the misrepresentation might be retracted with se much publicity as it had been made. Mr. NEWDIGATE said that the hon. ,gentleman the member fur Birmingham had dune only his duty, os behalf of an absent friend. The reprint which the honourable gentleman had quoted was, however, to a certain extent amend. The report in question was taken from use of the most leading mem of Collllllllllitille tins in this country. The bon. gentleman then quoted from the Times' report of what be had stated, being the same as that read by Mr. Bright from the slip enclosed to hie, by Mr. l'olxien, and then proceeded to repeat that the revert was in some degree inaccurate. He (Mr. Newdegate) &poke from what be had seen published in • letter from • private London correspondent of the Maw/seater Guardian, February 21, 1860. The bon. gentleman then proceeded to read • portion of the letter in question from the Ezessiner, which went on to say that the writer wee sorry to hear reports were in general circulation by no means complimentary to the soundness ; at Mr. Colxlen's judgment on the internal affairs of France, nor were they creditable to him sea citizen of a free coon. try, sad these reports were founded on the statement of • nameleref parliament jest returned from Paris, who made good use of his opportunity of obtains. information there. He represented Mr. Cobden se entirely Nleunised, to a degree inconsistent with a lover of free institution., and that this been effected by the frank acceptance which the Emperor had given to free-trade principles. Mr. Cobden said he could not discover what the Preach had to complain of in the present regime, and in short his devotion to free mole was in inverse ratio to his love of freedom. The hem. member then said that he would admit to the hoe uember for Birmingham, that if he had had no ground for behryng that there was some truth for what he had mot, he should 're exceedingly culpable for the statement. He had, howeve.., noticed the moan of the hon. member for Rocnii.de during the last eighteen years. The SPEAKER—The hon. member mart confine himself to an esdlanation of his statement, if any be necessary. Mr. NEWDEGATE said he wee vindicating hie iinsidact when called upon by an hon. member of the house—he having been the cause of circulating what wan alleged to be a calumny. He was vindicating his honour as a member of parlianseet, and he was stating that he hail perceived in the conduct of the hat member for Rochdale, that he supported institutions which could not be COLleille:011 free imuntions, and that that induced him to believe that the letter to which he had referred, was founded on truth. He would state what he meant by free institution. (Oh, oh.) Hon. members would excuse him if he referred to the institutions of this country, and if he stated that he believed they embodied a greater amount of social, religious, and political freedom, than any to be found in the world. They contained more freedom than the dame retie institution. of America---or the institutions id France, Auatna, or Russia. That was what he meant by free institutious. Now, is 1862, the lion. member for Rochdale spoke la tamer of the trading classes of Russia, end ended that their position was most astafactory, and the hon. member went on to declare— etir C. DU Uri LAS rose to order. He wished to ask whether the hon. member ought to be allowed to go on in such a course. The hon. member for Rochdale had fully denied what bad been stated during his absence, and he thought it was not oeupetent to the her. member for North War. wicks:bin to go on making • statement which bad nothing whatever to do with the matter emplaned of. Mr. NEWDEGATE said if he' naile a statement in that house he would either retract it or confirm it when called tape to do so. (Hear, hear.) He would show that in 1854 Mr. Cobden not only (cries of "Oh, oh") emit avowed the authorship of the pamphlet referred to, but he proceeded to sate at a meeting at which the hon. member for Birmingham wsepresent, that in accordance with his .pinions he wen prepared to take measures to prevent the prosecutioa of the Russian war by this home, mil he mid if they were to have a war, let there be no accumulation ot debt, no new tame is the shape of arta= mad excise duties ; but an M enem in the imolai, tax to 20 per cent. and down to a lower range of 501. The has. member for Birmingham followed by satin that he Meer* agreed with Mr. ()Ades, end that if • war should break eat, the MOMS tax ought to he doubled. The SPEAKER said he did not understand that any ex planation was required is regard to the conduct of the bob. member for Birmingham. Mr. NEWDEOATE said he had merely adverted to it. (Oh, oh.) He begged the house to remember that in 1862, immediately after the death of the Duke of Wellingti.u. Mr. Coielen published a series of letters in which he aim. planed that his memory WM honoured is this country as one of its chief Minden, sad he went on to complain of the institutions of this country. (Cries of "questioo. - ') Hon, members would exam ) im, but he was coming to the pot. Gerghter.) The ham amber for Rochdale alluded to t in he incitation* of Frame to thedisparagement of the institutions co this count . That was no hasty statement, but issued and quietly cimtLad. The has. member said that " when he was told the Emperor el the Trench powered abeolet• and inespousible power, he did not believe it, for be could not widow with hied' ad tithes on. nthiMen and mike it the exclusive paid religion of thestatia, although he selected the Raman catholic religion, which empanel nine-tenths of the French people ; lis could not create • landed hereditary peseue, with estates entailed, sad a law of primo geniture; ore could he ilimme • tax which applied to par ental property and beet real estates free of duty or devolution.

DIINOOMBE rose to ask the Secretary for the Home Department whether hie attention had been called to the fact that the dead body of a man, named Thomas Edward Kean, had been recently found in the woods use Deal, in Kent, and had been interred without inquest. From the hon. member's statement, which was delivered in • low tone of voice, we gathered that the deceased had been for twelve months en inmate of Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum. He was discharged cured, and returned to his former occupation. Finally he left his home, and was first hosed of at • public-house neer Deal wood, when, not having money to pay for the refreshment he had ord his boots were taken from him. Subsequently he Mes e ? into the woods, where his dead body was found three ys after. The honourable member wished to know what dew the Home-office had taken in the matter, and why tie coroner had not held an inquest Hr. MILDMAY explained that this was one of • clam of cases which had arisen out of the unfortunate didenesoce miming between the coroners and county magistrates re vetting the a/101ounce of fees for inquests. Mr. CLIVE add that there had been no neglect on the part of the HornereMee in the matter. The Home Secretary had no power to compel the holding of an inquest, bat sins the occurrence of this unfortunate dispute, he had originated a bill to put matters on a better footing, and that bill was now before • select committee. A letter had been written to the coroner in this ease, and his reply was : " This was the case of • stranger found in Deal. He had been sees about the place, having no money, end having had refreshment at a public-house, he left his boots in pledge. He appeared subsequently to hare diverted himself of hie coat and trousers when he went into the wood. He appeared to have scratched himself • good deal, and the supposition was that he died in a fi t." This last suppo sition, the house would perceive, wee entirely gratuitous, se there was no reason why the man should have died in • fit, Perhaps the reason for not holding an inquest could bat be learned from the final sentence of the coroner's letter :—" The coroner for Kent is placed In • difficult pceition, because the magistrates require him to state what criminal act is suspected, to make an inquest necemary." He (Mr. Clive) could only say, that if the magistrates adopted such a course, it was contrary to the opinion of the Chief Justice. Kr. DEEDES vindicated the conduct of the inagietrake, who had no wish to throw any unnecerary disculty in the way of the cocoas-. THE ENGLISH POOR LAW—REMOVAL OF IRISH PAUPER& -- Mr. LANIGAN ailed the *Modica of her Majmty's misdates% to the treakeint of the destitute Iri s & by poor kw Mikis& he Inglemil with a view of checking the abases which eriet, sad of meimilating the English poor law to that of Ireland ? by which boards of guardians are compelled to grant rola to aD who seek it (irmapective of the country to which they belong), there being no evidence inquired to establish their claims ezoept the fact of their de• atitute condition. Colonel DUNNE said there wan great cruelty connected with thin removal of Irish paupers, and he hoped the go vernment would give an assurance that they would take the subject into their consideration. Mr. C. Y. VILLIERS said the question raised by the hon. member was a very lame one, Involving as it did the whole law of settlement in England. No doubt there was a great want of a proper law of settlement, both in England and Ireland, but the question had puzzled almost every man who hid dealt with it, and it could not be oonvenientlfdis cussed upon the motion for adjournment. The late kir. Raines instituted an • tiiry upon the subject of removal, and pro- posed several jadieiooa alterations ; but when he introdnoed a bill to give them effect he WY met by leach • storm of VA remonstrance that it was impossible to make any advance in legislation upon the question. His sight hon. friend the member for Kilurnock also introduced a bill on the subject, but was obliged to withdraw it in consequence of the opposition it received, particularly from Irish mem bers. ("Hear," and laughter.) The right hon. gentleman the member for Wilts also attempted to deal with the matter, but he, like his predecessors, was obliged to withdraw, not having received the support of the Irish members. The main reason therefore why legislation had not taken place on the subject was the want of union among . Irish members. If a measure founded upon the propositions which had been approved by his right hon. predecemor were brought for ward, it should receive the support of his department. REDUCED SERVICES IN THE CUSTOM-HOUSE. Mr. YLLNES would invite the house to transfer its , attention from those actual cases of legal and official cruelty to another kind of cases, which might perhaps boconie so. The Chancellor of the Exchequer bad an nounced that, of the meagre surplus he proposed to obtain this year, a large portion would be derived from reducing the expenses of the Custom-house and Inland Revenue De p•rtnients, to the extent of 50,0GY., and 36,000/. in the present financial year. Of course, when there was no silk to be weighed, and no French goods to be locked up, the antiher of weighers and other °Saab required for the Custom-house service would be lees ; but if too large a reduction were made at once, extreme hardship would thus be inflicted upon • class of ' very worthy men and excellent public servants, and much private distress most be the result On the other band, if pensions were to be given them out of the Consolidated Fund, that would bee drawback on one of the recommen- dation. advanced in favour of the customs alterations,th;t of effecting an economy in the estimates of the department. It might probably be said in reply to him, that these men would be absorbed in the general labour mar ket, and even if this involved their falling into • lower po 'Mon, no great public benefit of this kind could be obtained without some private calamity. But he hoped the govern meat would act in a liberal saint, and he now bagged to mak the right hon. gentleman whether he was prepared to treat these cases with humanity nod generosity. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was embar rassed how to answer such • singular inquiry. His hon. friand wished him to give an smereuce that in regulating certain reductions of the public establishment'', he would be guided by principles of humanity and generosity. Now, be thought it could not be justly alleged that in such ea-es any want of humanity had usually been shown by the government of this country. He believed that, compared with the government of any other country, it showed such humanity, equity, and consideration for private interests as there was no maniple of anywhere elm. (Cheers.) But as for generosity, though he reprded it as a great and noble virtue in individuals, be felt rather a mistrust of Its being exercised on the part of the state, by the House of Commons, or by ministers and public officers, who were spending public money. (Hear, hear.) As to the practical part of the boo. gentleman's question, how ever, the case was this. When the government first in tended to make proposals to the house which they saw would enable considerable reductions to be made in the pub lic establishments., the heads of those establishment., and of the customs department especially, began to suspend their applications to the Treatury for new appointments, parti cularly in the more expensive clam of coos. The chair man of the Board of Caste ~ indeed, could not yet state precisely the effect of Rene contemplated reductions ou the estimates of the expenditure on that department now laid before the house. But he (the Chancellor of the Ex , chequer) had perfect confidence in the justice, the equity, and consideration which his tight hon. friend at the head of the department would abow in determining and adjusting those reductions, both with • view to the require meats of the public service and the claims of indi vi.'uals. He had not, therefore, laid down any rules for his guidance, or interfered with his discretion. He could not interfere with the discretion of the heeds of the departments of the Board of Customs, who were primarily responsible. He begged to remind hie hon. Mend that by calling in question the humanity of the heads of the departments, he was Dot serving the muse he hail in view, nor waa it consistent with the regular course of public business.

(Hear, hear.) The bill had two principal objects in view ; he would not mention wonder' , ones. The first object related to refreshment houses as a class without exception. The object with respect to refreshment houses universally was to remedy an evil much and justly coin- phased of —that they were exempted from the supervision of the police.. If it phased the house to give its agent to the provisioaa of this bill, the effect of it would be thud all occupiers of such houses would be compelled to take out licenses at a low rate, with the exception of certain small houses in country places. They would be thus tinder the supervision of the police, and subject to petiolate and restraints. (Hear, hear.) The other object of the bill had reference to those refreshment hoses which might properly be termed eating-hones; and an attempt had been insule hi the bill to define what was the true nature of an eating•lionse, in order to ensure the faithful and Jon de finition in practice. The keepers of eating-honse%; defined by the bill, would h ave th e pr i of atTling for licenses which would enable them to sell foreign winea. The boo. member *eked whether it was meant to exclude houses which sold beer? Hie answer to this caning' was, that he desired by the bill net to tone in anzser what wee known as beer-hou ses , th a t was io say • • houses kept kw the sale of beer, and bolas( limns the Beer Acts. To a further criestion, • license foe the sale el beer would ipso fade lie • i= l . ficatioa for the Isle sl wise. he most say that that we a west upon whisk the Dore would hays to weds* its own Jet ; but as the bill "hod, sad in the iateediaa with wTtioh it was - - flamed In the ems at eating-houses licensed '!crabs note of beer, It - eimenetrament that that of itself should oceuttitute s dialtmlithation for the sale of aloe. SAVOY AND NICE. Mr. KINOLAKE waited to ask the Secretary . of State for Foreign Affairs, whether there was any objection to lay upon the table of the house bit answer to Toed Bloom field's despatch of the 3rd day of March, respect ing the proposed annexation of Savoy and Nice to France? On Tuesday last the noble lord at the head of the govern ment led theta to expect that the proposed annexation would Prot take place without France consulting, and sin cerely consulting, the other powers of Europe. He Irwited that the noble lord would now be able to my that the expectations thus held out had not been Wailed, that the rumours of the bat two days were inconsisteat with the truth, sad that it was not a fact that the i.. E . m . q of the French, in "pits of ahe had said, was I . to that annexation without consulting the great powers Europe, G ad that he was carrying annexation on to the extent of in cludingChablais, Fancegny,audGenevois. He truatedthatthe information which the noble lord might give would remove much of the anxiety which now s:ed Europe. (Hear.) Sir R. PEEL wanted her y's government to come forward in a loyal and ist tf manner, and prated against the conduct of France. He denounced this policy, for the union of Savoy and Fiance would not only I affect the future interests of Piedmoat and the future cos. dition of Savoy, but it was the fret step, the first act of • conspiracy against the sights and the liberties of every state of Europe. (Hem, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL mid—My honourable friend the member for Bridgewater has asked for the answer to the despatch from Lord Bloomfield of the 3rd of March, with regard to Savoy. Now, that is • despatch containing an ac count of &conversation between Baron Schleinith,the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Prussia, and the French minister, and therefore It dots not call for an answer from me. We have continual intercourse with the government of Prussia, and more than once I have had conversations with Count Bernsterff, the minister of Prussia in this omin.ry, and we entirely agree in our views as to this annexatim. (Hear, hear.) Ido not know that I can say more than I said both in July last and January of the present year ; but we continually express, as the hoe. gentleman will see in tpaiers to which he alludes, we have continually ex pressed, both at Berlin and at Vienna, and also at St. Pe tersburg, our objection' to the annexation of Savoy, leaving them to take the part which they should think right on ' that question. I cannot say that I have heard been Vienna any satisfactory account of any steps which the Austrian Government will take on this subject. There Si, names which every member of this house will imagine why the government of Austria should not, be particularly melees that there should be no partition of the dominions of the King of Sardinia, seeing that both in Lom teic r ti di and in Tuscany she has lost dominion' belonged to her or to members of her house. However, it is now a month ego since I made repre imitation's at Vienna—afterwards I made representations at St. Petemberg—and it certainly is a disappointment to her Majesty's government, considering that so long • time his ekped, and that the annexation has been, as it were, im pending all this time, that we have not received any notice that there is to be say great protest on the part of those governments against the annexation. The conduct of Count Cavour hat certainly a good deal of the character which my hon. friend the member for Tunworth has given to it, because when Count Cavourtsid sane time ago that the King of Sardinia would not cede or sell Savoy, lee goes on in the latter put of the despatch to ere that if the people of ...avoy are diipmed to belong to another empire, that, however the King of Sardinia might regret it, he should not object to it. Now I certainly feel that that is • very extraordinary and uniseeemity declaration, We know very well that there are countries, there have been countries lately, which have felt themselves so op pressed by their governments that they wished to sever the connexion. But we never heard that in Savoy there was any such feeling. There has been no indication till lately that the people of Savoy wished to sever their con nexion with Sardinia ; and it it therefore, a singular, and I should say an unprecedented, thint for • sovereign to say, subjects " These of mine are mue attached to me, I value them very much. At the same time, if they wish to sever their allegiance and belong to another country, I have no objection to their doing so." It certainly looks as if the King of Sardinia was not unwilling to part with Savoy. I must say that our position has been • good deal infiummed by this. If the powers of Europe decline to isterfere, if. they feel no great interest on this subject, if Prussia and Great Britain are the only Eiirtpmn powers that feel a greet interest in it, and if the King of Sardinia is apparently willing to yield this territory, it certainly has become a very difficult matter to oppose the annexation. (Hear, hear.) But there is another point which Ism now going to state to the house, because after the questions that were asked of me by • noble lord not now present I think I ought to state to the house that them was delivered to me yesterdays despatch from H. Thouvenel to Count Persigny, in which the writer mks that the case of the annexation of Savoy might be laid before her Majesty's government for their consideration. The despatch is a very temperate one. It is clear altogether of national boundaries. It states the case as one of special interest, arising from special circumstances, namely, that the position of Italy is changed, that the position of France is thereby changed, and that therefore this is • special case that deserves special con sideration. But although it is stated in the despatch that this question is submitted to the wisdom and equity of Europe, yet I must say, taking the whole of the despatch together, and considering the term used, that it is necessary for France to have a secure frontier, I think I should hardly be judided in saying that the powers of Europe are wombed, and that by their verdict the French empire will be guided. I have not yet laid this despatch on the table, but I am stating all that I know on the sub ject. We shall consider maturely what answer shall he given to this despatch, but the whole despatch, and cape. Sally that part of it which relates to the question that my hon. friend the member for Tamworth takes such interest in—the question of Esucigny and Chablate—is one of so much gravity and importance, that without say ing more about it at present, I will nevertheless add that it requires most grave consideration. ! I shall lose no time in laying the despatch and the meter to it on the table. (Hear.) The motion for the adjournment was agreed to at twenty ' five minutes past eight. 1 CHINA. On the motion for going iato committee of supply, Sir DE L EVAN S rose to move an amendment: "That humbly participating in the wish of her Majesty expressed . in her most gracious speech on the opening of this ses sion of parliament, that she will be gratified if the prompt acquiescence of the Emperor of China in the moderate demands which will be made upon him by the allies, shall obviate the neoesaity for the employment of ' force in the judgment of this house the moderation of policy thus indipted on the part of her Majesty and that of the Emperor of the French will best contribute to diminish expeerliture, arred complications, and to pro mote comlnerin the interests of justice, and the establish ment of peaoe. Lund J. RUSSELL said that, with respect to the remarks of his hon. and pliant friend relative to the ques tion which he had last raised as to the military operations in China, it would obviously be very unwise of the govern ment to state the exact instructions given to the naval and military commanders sent from this country. The house would also agree with him that it would be unwise to make those instructions so extremely strict that efficers at a dis tance of 15,000 miles should find themselves bound by them in any and all sdreounstances. (Hear, hear.) With his hoe. and gallant friend, 'he hoped it would not be necessary for oar troops to march to Pekin; but he thought the government would be departing from their duty if they gave special in seructions that there should be no march on that city. With regard to the terms of the negotiations, those should not be settled on account of the circumstances which bad lately occurred. Instructions had been drawn up for Lord • Elgin in which the French government concurred gene rally ; but there wee some points upon which they wished for farther explanations, and her Majesty's government considered the better way would be that ford Elgin, who was well acquainted with Baron Groot, with whom he had acted on the former Chinon minion in terms of the greatest cordiality, should go to Paris and consult with M. Thouvenel and Baron Gros on those points in respect of which explanations were required. One of the questions to be settled was whether Lori Mi;in and Baron Oros should have the supreme command of the naval and military operations, and be invested with power to stop those operations. It had seemed to be a right principle, bat then it must be observed that the naval and military com manders might find themselves in such a position as that it would be impossible for there to d.with moiety to the troops and to the ships. (Hear, hear.) These were points which had not yet been settled. As regarded the necessity for a display of military force, seeing that 400 or 500 men had been killed and wounded by an ambuscade. (No, no.) He thought that the lives and property of Englishmen in that country would not be safe if in some way or another the Chineoi were not required to make reparation for that insult (Hear. hear.) Some persons said the pease up the river was without notice to the Chinese, but Mr. Bruce showed that was not so, but that he had required to he allowed to go up with the ship, and that he should be received in an honourable manner. There wss no positive refueal, but the commissioner at Shanghai desired to *end first to Pekin, and the tone he required for the purpose was unreasonably lmg. When Mr. Bence had arrived at the Peiho he found no Chinese authorities there, and the people were acting without orders, and whether Mr. Bruce was acting rightly or wrongly, he and Admiral Hops went up to the mouth of the river without any notice that their peep would be obstructed. That having be sod, and a great loss of life and property having occurred, there must be some repine • tient (Hear, hear.) The demands made were ex -1 meltingly moderate. The treaty had been concluded, and., only required to be ratified. The government also demanded I that some apology should be made for the outrage which had been committed. That being done, it was proposed that the British minister should go up to Pekin and obtain the ratification of the treaty. With regard to the whole matter no one could regret it more than himself. There was no question of boundary to be settled, or other matter of that kind. All that they sought for was trade with the Chingos, and in order that that might be carried on the government required security for the lives and property of their people. He could state that in late years trade had elaseerly immersed at Shanghae and at other Oboe*, wed that a lame member of person were en gaged in it, and of mum they were liable to disputes. It wee therefore deahable that ear taakess elweeld have the MARCH l 7 l, „WO. of resorting to e the chief powers and places in g.te and sot be confined to Canton and to intercourse with the governor there. He thought that the British minister should have the option of rending at Pekin, or any where else where the interest* of trade required it. It might be that he ahould reside at filmagbob sad go occasionally to Pekin, but better arrangements than the present were eminently desirable. (Hear, hear.) Lord Elgin would soon return, and would then proceed on his mission. His lion. and gallant friend seemed to think that no better choice could have been made, and that no man was more anxious t.. maintain peaceful relations with the Chinese. His lordship had acquired an esteem for that =and a strong wish for their welfare, and he (Lord J. ) believed that both he and Baron Ora were ani mated by the most pacific sentiments, and that better could nut have been done than to send them out as plenipoten tiaries. He believed he had now troubled the house with all that was necessary to be said on the subject. Bir J. ELPHINBTONE was of opinion that it would be a fatal mistake to march upon Pekin, and. a Whetter policy to occupy the city of Nankin, with a force of gunboats on the river. He warned the house of the expense that would attend these hostilities, and expressed his belief founded upon local knowledge and exponen t *. that we should not got out of this Chinas war for lees than 10,000,000 i. BRIGHT mid he was • good deal disappointed at the statement of Lord J. BiuselL He thongbt that on occasions of this nature it was the duty of tho Yinieter for Foreign Affairs to be a little more explicit. He traced the progress of the transactions in China from the war com menced, be nail, by the indiscretion of Sir J. Hovering ; agd after blaming the stipulations of the last treaty, be cob tended that, in the proceedings for the rati&ation of that treaty, we were as much in the wrong se we were at Canton, under the management of Sir J. Bowring. He denied that the Chinese were open to the charge of treachery ; he insisted that the collision at the mouth of the Peiho was attribu table to the folly and imbecility of our own minister and the indiscretion of the admiral, and he censured the govern ment for allowing a person vo utterly unfit to conduct the negotiations as Hr. Bruce to continue to be our minister in China. He could see no advantage to this country in requir ing iMt oar minister should reside at Pekin, which would inflict • grievous insult upon the Emperor of China, and be an ungenerous act on our part. He warned the government against a partnership with anotherpower, and against making demands upon the government of China which, being based only upon • disaster °condoned by the folly of our own minister, we ought not, in the nght of God or man, to make. Mr. S. HIIMBERT said that the hon. member for Ports mouth seemed to have misconceived some words which bad fallen from the noble lord, judging from the emphatic man ner in which he deprecated an advance upon Pekin. The policy of the hon. baronet seemed to consist in an advance on Nankin, which he supposed to be either in the hands of the rebels or left by them an utterly deserted waste. The hon. baronet further stated that they should not only advance upon Nankin, but permanently retain it, after having first reduced the Take forts. That part of the advice of the hon. pntleman the government would not be disposed to follow. It was the desire of the government. to localise the war as much as possible, and to confine it to the Chinese government. The demands which had been made even after the disaster of the Peiho, wire of the mat moderate kind, consisting of a demand fur the ratification of the treaty as it originally stood, and an neology for the outrage commit ted. There was no demand for an indemnity. The hon. baronet's warning against the advance to Pekin was hardy needed, especially by two inch armies as the French and English, became the experience of the one in Cabal, and of the other in the retreat from Moscow would make then hesitate in ad into a country where the rivers were frozen. He hoped, however, that when Lord Elgin arrived in China matters would be placed on a better footing, but he was sorry to think that, to accomplish his purpose, he must be attended by a large military demonstration. (Hear.) The Earl of Elgin had many qualities necessary for the mission. He had peat local knowledge, and having natu rally the success of Ina own treaty at bent, he would be desirous to convert that treaty into a durable and perma nent peace. No one could read the blue-book without see ing that his opinion was that England was asking too much and dealing too harshly with the Chinese. Throughout his correspondence there was a spirit of wisdom and concilia tion which gave him (Mr. S. Herbert) the g test hope that his administration would also be marked by than qualities, and that he would place ear relations with the Chinese on with a footing as to secure us the blessings of commerce and peace. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. PAKINGTON did not know whether his views would find favour with the house, but he put it to them whether, looking to the origin of the unhappy Peiho transaction, and to the whole conduct of Mr. Bruce in the matter, they were entitled to demand an apology from the Chinese. (Hear, hear.) If they decided upon demanding an apology, two questions of necessity arms, first, did the cucum stances as they occurred justify their acting in a spirit of justice in demanding an apology ; and secondly, if that apology Wag refused, what was the alter native (Hear, hear.) It was Said that the instructions of Lord Malmesbury, when Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in the late government, were such as to justify Mr. Bruce in the course he took at the mouth of the Peiho. [Lord JOHN RUISSELL--" I did not say so.l He knew that the noble lord did not make that sasertion, but be bad heard it made by others ; and be whited the house to understand that there was nothing in the instructions of Lord Malmesbury to cause Mr. Bruce to make that attack on the Chinese at the mouth of the Peiho. The noble lord (Russell) had alluded to the power of the =humidors to stay hostile operations. Lord J. RUSSELL—In the event of overtures being made by the Chinese government. (Hear.) Sir J. PAYINGTON said the inference from that was thelastructions had already been given for operations to be commenced. He hoped that this was not the ease. He approved of Lord Elgin being again sent out as ambas sador ; but he wished to know on what footing Mr. Bruce was to remain, and whether both were to receive salaries. He hoped that the intention of demanding an apology from the Chinese government would be disavowed. It would be a:y matter to bring that government to terms by mit mg off the supplies going up the Peiho, and in this he thought they would be perfectly justified. (Hear.) Mr. Hon and Mr. C. Bnucs defended the conduct of Admiral Hope and Mr. Bruce in the attack of the mouth of the Peilio. Lord PALMERSTON said that when we judge the con. duet of • man we ought to imagine ourselves to be in the situation he was in at the time when the act was performed upon which we are called to pass a judgment, and, adopting this rule, all the circumstances (which he rec . apitti. Lied) Judi/led Mr. Bruce and Admiral Hope in the oonduct they . pursued. There would, in his opinion, have been just ground for blaming Mr. Bruce if he had acted differently ; and, as to the admiral, no officer could have displayed a greater spirit of heroism. Sir J. Paldngton bad asked what was the policy of the government towards China. That policy was as simple as it was just. The treaty concluded with China had been approved by the Emperor, and the government wanted the ratifications to be excha nged, so t ha t the treaty should become a formal compact between the two nations, and that its stipulations should be fulfilled. As to an apology, he thought there was no reason to suppose that, the Emperor of China would be indisposed to make one. When I am asked (said the noble lord) what is to be our policy in China, I answer that our policy is to require the fulfilment of the treaty —a treaty of commercial intercourse with China—but not to involve the two nations in war if war should not he . We do not desire to acquire any conquests in China. ( ear, hear) We do not demand any additional cession of territory. To those gentlemen who seem to undervalue the importance of a commercial treaty with China I say, carry back your recollections to the feeling which existed in this country when the treaty of N an kin was concluded by Sir Henry Pottinger, sad the enthusiastic applause with which the aanounce ment of that treaty was received. Why, sir, the whole country admitted the treaty was of the utmost advantage to the commerce of this country—the greatest advantage. were anticipated from the increased commercial intercourse with China, and there can be no doubt but by that treaty our commercial intercourse with China was greatly in. maned. Nor did we anticipate unreasonably that the treaty of Tien -tain, coupled with that of - Nankin, if faithfully executed and carried out would add vastly to the commercial intercourse, not only of England—far we seek no exclusive advantages—but of the other states of Europe and America with that vast population, and not merely benefit Europe and America, but tend greatly to the improvement and the prosperity of the Chinese them selves. ( Hear, ear, hear," and cheers.) w Mr. hl IDE had heard the noble lord at the heal of the government upon a former occasion defend his Chinese ppoolicy against the noble lord the present Foreign Secretary and the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer—(bear, hear)—but there was a majority of the House of Commons against him. What, then, did the noble lord do! Why, he cashiered the House of Commons which had voted against him, and he sucreelod. The noble lord showed pluck. (A laugh.) The noble lord would have the Chinese to enter into commercial intercourse with us at the point of the bayonet. (Hear, hear.) And the noble lord spoke to-night precisely in the mane vein those Chinese es he spoke three years ago. He no repentance, no sense of remorse. He seemed to think it quite as right and as just to com mence war against the Chinese now as it was then. (Hear, hear.) The house went into committee. Mr. S. HERBERT hoped that the home would not object to the first vote being taken. Mr. DISRAELI said that the late Secretary for War who wished to make some observations on the vote. had left the house, ander the impression that it would not come on that night. Mr. ft HERBERT said that the vote was of the greatest importance, and there would be another opportunity for ob servation on Moseley night. Mr. DISRAILI believed Monday would be occupied with another subject of great interest and importance, and as his right hon. and gallant friend (General Peel) wished to make a statement before this vote was agreed to, he (Mr. Disraeli) was under the painful neeessity of opposing any further progress Imnight. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said this was a matter not of convenience, but of neeessity—(keer)-- and be boakl not be responsible for the carrying on of the pakife sank* of a vets was not now taken. (sean) Mr. DIBRAFJA did not understand that this was the last appatazity the government would have of allowing the question to be discussed; but if the right boo. gentleman said this was really the only evening on which the matter could end ea, he would ad offer any _further resistaaos. Thp CHANCELLOR of the EXC HEQUER could state dist4etly thab it was so. He wee proceeding upon the in structions of those authorities who watched the public ex penditure, who assured him that this was the last day on which they would take this vote, with the certainty of being able to meet the demands of the public service. Mt. DIBRAELI said that solely upon the unequivocal datdment of the right honourable gentleman he should consent to the vote being taken. (Hear.) Mr. & HERBERT said he would postpone the statement which he intended to make till a future day. (Hear.) A vote was then agreed to of 880,00 E. on accomit towards defraying the expenses of the Chined expedition. The house resumed. The iiuTaiciieldorporetion Mortgages Bill pained through committee.
