WEDNESii.A EVENING - ) JUNE 6, 1. 85 5 LINES 1,4 , 7 ASED A'7 FIXED RENTAL. IMPERIA L PAR L WIEN T. lar imputations—and that that great chief of the Whig party —Fox, was stigmatised as the tool of France, and carica tured by Mr. Gilray as inviting over the French to Invade us, he proceeded to deny that because he and his friends were opposed to this war, they advocated anything so Uto pian as that in no case could war be just, inevitable, or necessary. It may, I think, continued the hon. member, be fairly admitted that we have all a common interest in 'dote —that is, the interest of our common country. The only , object we have at heart, and the only object- we have a right to consider in the discussion of this question, is the honest and just rights and interests of England. (Hear.) We may as individuals desire to act philanthropically to all the world—as _Christians we may wish to have the power to inflict chastisement on the wrong doer, and raise up the down-trodden jimong,st the nations—but we do not come here in the House of Commons to vote taxes for car rying. out the schemes of universal benevolence, and for extending the protecting hand to all the oppressed natiuns of the world. We havo limits to our powers ; but in con fining the exercise of those powers to the interests of our own country we must remember that the best interests of England are. in harmony with the interests of the whole world. (Hear.) That being the case, let us, I say, throw to the winds all the declamatozy balderdash and rubbish we have heard from the Treasury benches about our fight ing for the liberties of the whole civilised world, and which is brought forward only to suit the purpose of the moment; for when they come to the confozeucee of Vienna, to discuss terms of peace, we see how they throw aside those inflammatory statements by means of which they have whipped and lashed the country into this war. (Hoar.) I wish, in the first place, to revert to the speech of nay right hon. friend the member for Southwark. If there be an hon. or a right hon. member in this house whose opinions I have a right to say I understood in past times, it is his. (Hear.) I say this deliberately, and my right hon. friend cannot contradict me—(hear, hear) —that never was a speech made by any member of this house so utterly at variance with all his previous declara tions of opinions as that delivered last night by my right hon. friend the member for Southwark. (Hear.) The right hon. gentleman will remember the jeu d'esprit of Moore, written, I think, in 1833, in reference to the Whigs, when, after sitting long in the cold shade of the opposition,, they at length succeeded to the Treasury benches, and immediately began to follow the principles of the Tories, their predecessors. lam sure my right hon. friend will recollect it, for, if I mistake not, we have often in past times spoken of it together as generally applicable to men when they get into office. The paint in the jeu d'esprit I allude to illustrates the position of the Whigs by a reference to a certain Irishman who went to tke West Indies, and who, on meeting with aenurnber of blacks who spoke tolerably bad English, and whom he mistook there fore for countrymen of his own, said to them, "Whit, black and curly already!" (Laughter.) We have often seen metamorphoses on the Treasury benches • we have seen in very many cases the co l our c h ange an d the heir grow curly in a very short time ; but never have we seen colour change so suddenly into so complete and deep a jet-black —never hair become so stiff and curly as in the case of the right hon. member for Southwark. (Roars of laughter.) How I Should like now to hear that right hon. gentleman read that admirable speech he made, not on the occasion merely of the groat pacific debate on the Greek question (though that would be instructive), wherein he denounced the meddling policy of the noble lord (Lord Palmer ston), but how I should like to hear him read here, from the beginning to the end, the speech he made in the streets of Leeds, when we were in danger of going to war with France on the Syrian business, against oar involving ' ourselves in war for the protection of Turks, Syrians, Egyptians, Greeks, or anybody else. I should like to see my right hon. friend now stand upon that table, and be forced to read that speech from beginning to end, and let the house contrast it with the speceh he made last night. (Cheers.) The right hon. gentleman' says the question now is whether we (that is the Government) are right in refus ing to make peace on the terms proposed by Russia. That is not the whole question. The question in debate—and which is to be decided by the division to-night—is whe ther the plan proposed by the Government was the best and the only plan that could, under the circumstances, be devised—(hear, hear)- or whether the difference between the plan and the plan proposed by Russia was such as to warrant the recommencement of the war. These are the questions we have before us to-night. What is the dif ference between tho two proposals? Remember, it is the Government of this country with whom we have now to deal. They are the parties who are now responsible for the war; they will have the glory if it succeed, and upon them must rest the responsibility if it fail. Well, what is the difference between the proposal of the Government of Eng land and the proposal of the Government of Russia? The question between them was—whether Russia should have four sail of the line, four frigates, and a proportionate num ber of smaller vessels in the Black Sea ; or whether all the navies of the world should heve free access to that sea, and Russia be permitted to have as many ships there as she pleased ? Now, I have been told by a nautical man that if Russia had accepted your proposal and destroyed all her worthless ships and her green-timber vessels, and sent an order to the United States for four first-class line-of battle steamships, of 130 guns each, fitted with screws, four frigates of that elastic character we know the Americans build, carrying perhaps 70 or 80 heavy guns, and also fitted with screws, and a proportionate force of smaller screw vessels—she would have had a far more for midable navy in the Black Sea than she has ever yet had —a force that would be able to compete successfully with double the naval power she has ever yet maintained in that sea. (Hear.) If that be the case, what great diminution of power were we, after all, going to impose upon Russia for the protection of Turkey ? Bat Russia resisted this proposal for limiting the number of her ships as a point of honour, not on the ground of diminishing her force ; she resisted it on principle. (Hear.) N ow , however, the right hon. gentleman says, if we allow Russia to havefree access to the Black Sea, and we have also free access to those waters, we shall be put to an enormous expenditure in keeping up a large peace establishment for the purpose of watching Russia in the Black Sea. The right hon. gentle man had talked of the probability of a six years' war. Now let me ask how, long would the interest of the money you will havo to pay for that six years' war keep up your fleet to the establishment necessary for watching Russia in the Black Sea ? It has been said that though Russia may promise that no aggressive movement shall be made upon Turkey, yet as we cannot believe anything that Russia promises we must insist upon her reducing the num ber of her ships. But it appears to me that you must go further than this, for if you undertake to maintain the in dependence of Turkey you take a task in hand that cannot be accomplished without great and permanent expense to the country—a task which will comperyou to maintain a large armament continually on the watch in Turkey or in its immediate vicinity. (Hear, hear.) You say you can not believe Russia, and you call upon her for securities. I would ask the noble lord, the membe for London, what that great model of whiggery, when the Whigs were in opposition (Fox), said upon the subject of securities. When it was said we must havo securities against the aggression of France, and the Tories of that day were urging precisely what the noble lord is now urging, Mr. Fox said, " We have securities—the only securities we can ever depend upon, namely, the interest of France to make peace, and if it be her interest she will keep it ; such is the state of all nations, and it will be so as long as the world lasts—your only security is your own vigilance." If you recognise it as the policy of this nation that you will send armies to fight' the battles of the continent in the midst of their great standing armies and their system of conscription, I should be a hypocrite to say that such a policy was consistent with that moderate peace establish ment which it has been the maxim of this countryfcr years past to maintain. If you acknowledgethat policy you must be prepared to keep up a large standing army to plade yourselves in a military point of view on a par with France, with Austria, with Prussia, with Russia, and the rest, for if you attempt to follow out such a policy without such preparation to uphold it, depend upon it the country is but preparing the way for a most ridiculous and ignomi nious exposure of weakness. (Hear, hear.) I would ask the right hon. gentleman when he last night indulged in vituperation against Russia, when he told us that Russia was not to be trusted, whether he was aware that as a cabinet minister he had himself been a party to an engage ment with Russia to interfere conjointly in the affairs of Moldavia and Wallachia. The right hon. baronet told us last night that Russia was altogether without shame, and he attributed to her every sentiment and act that was vile and dishonourable. Did he not know at the time tnat he, as a member of the Cabinet was himself a party to the treaty by which we were to join ourselves with France, Austria, Prussia, Turkey, and Russia, to be the guardians of Wallachia and Moldavia, to interfere by force of arms in her internal affairs, and to form a tribunal that would, in fact, constitute the government of those Principalities ? By the treaty contained in the fourth protocol, you have bound yourselves in terms to become, conjointly with Russia and the other powers, the government of Wal lachia and Moldavia. I will read the protocol to the house, in order to shoW what engagements you have entered into with that power, which, because you have had some newspaper statements of successes and altered circumstances, it now suits you to vituperate, but which at other times you can slaver over with your praises. Here is the seventh article of the protocol, but I will read also the sixth. It provides, " That there shall be , no interference without the consent of the high contracting parties—England, France, Russia, and Austria--and the courts will not afford protection in the Principalities to foreigners whose proceedings may be prejudicial to the tranquillity of those countries or the neighbouring states; and disapproving such proceedings, they engage respectively to take into c onsideration the representations made by either of the powers, or even by the local authorities." Thus you are bound, toge:faer with Russia, if the governor of Bucharest should make a report of some local difficulty, some local emeute, you are bound, in conjunction with Russia to interfere and arrange it. And what is the conclu sion ? I blush when I read it. Here it is—" On its side the Sublime Porte engages not to tolerate in the Principalities foreigners such as are just described ; nor to allow the local inhabitants to meddle with matters dangerous to the tran quillity of their own country or the neighbouring states." And this is signet! by a Russell ! (Hear.) The name of John Russell stands at tne foot of these protocols as a party in le'reventing the inhabit a nts of th ose countr i es from med dlingswith their own local matters, if in the opinion of the powers it should be considered sZeugerous to the tranquil lity of their ow,: country. (Hear.) I Zark, how changed is the child and champion of revolution when he breathes the air of Vienna 1 (Loud cheers.) My hon. friend the member for Aylesbury Cheers these sentiments, and my' denuncia tion of this arrangement. (Hear, hear, from Mr. Layard.) But has my hon. friend himself in this matter punned that bold, consistent, and manly Menne which, with his de clared opinions, I think he should. It is well known that the sympathies of my hon. friend were in favour of the war, because he believed it augured some advantages to nationalities, that it would tend to the independence, or at least the good government, of certain states in Wal lachia Moldavia, Servia, a nd the rest. (Hear, hear, from Mr. eayard.) But has my honourable friend so little sagacity as not to see that all this waste of blood and treasure had very different objects in view from t he has he contemplates? And seeing the course the w taken, and the terms and arrangements upon whilch the Government are ready to conclude the war, my at hon.all friend ought to denounce it altogether, since it has nothing to do with those objects for which alone he h as ec oo lar u e a d it i y t was defensible. (Hear, hear.) Before the wt broke out I was appealed to, by illustrious name s, not to oppose it, because it was looked forward to by them as likely to promote the independence of certain down-trodden communities on the continent.

I warned those persons who in diplomacy, as s of enormous if they expected that a war, originating this has done, and carried on bee means armies, as this has been, and with such men as those who are at the head of our own Government, and of the Cloverninente of the cation to giTe direction and -zs--- HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Lord BERNERS presented a petition from the clergy of a deanery in Sointrsetshire, against any change in the law of marriage as regards the laws of consangainity and affinity, and also petitions from Staffordshire in favour of closing public-houses during the whole of the Lord's-day ; also two petitions from York and Stafford shire against the grant to Maynooth. The Earl of GALLOWAY presented several petitions from' places in Scotland against the grant to Maynooth, and also a petition in favour of marriage with a deceased wife's sister. Lord BROUGHAM, presented several petitions in favour of closing public-houses on Sundays. • THIRD READINGS. On the motion of Lord REDESDAGE the following bills wera read a third time and passed :—Birminghatu Gas, Hartlepool Gas and Water, Kelso Bridge, St. George's Hai bour Act Amendment, Over Darwen Gas, Ulster Railway, Londonderry Improvement, Kilmar nock Gas, Hyde Gas (No. 3), Liverpool Corporation Water. The report upon Pedder's Divorce Bill was read and agreed to. LOSS OF HORSES ON BOARD THE MEDWAY. Lord PANMURE said, in reference to the suljact brought forward by the noble earl opposite last night— namely, the, loss of the. hor ses on b oard the Medway, he thought it right to state th a t, prev i ous to the departure of the ship, a report had b een received from the proper officers, which stated that the vessel was in all respects complete, both with respect to ventilation and accom modation. THE TURKISH CONTINGENT. The Earl of EL LENBOROUGH called attention to the convention entered into between her Majesty's Go vernment and that of the Sultan, on the 3d of February last, for the empleyment of the Turkish troops in the British service. He now wished to ask what progress had been made in the formation of such a body of troops If we were to believe the news papers—and their reports were confirmed by a letter which he had received from an officer in that force, no progress whatever had as yet been made in the plac ing of those troops under the orders of English officers sent out to Constantinople to command them. Those officers, it appeared, were extremely dissatisfied at this state of things, who anxiously looked forward to the completion of that force over which they were placed. Lord PANMURE greatly regretted the delay that had taken place in the formation of those troops, from which he hoped the allied armies would receive much advantage. Her Majesty's Government had performed all the conditions they were called upon to perform under the terms of the convention. On the 11th April General Vivian was sent out to Constantinople, and was accompanied by a corps of officers deemed suffi cient to undertake the command of a considerable. body of men. On the arrival of General Vivian at Constanti nople, he, however, found that there were no more men forthcoming. He (Lord Panmure) apprehended that the fault did not lie with either her Majesty's Government or the Government of the Porte, but it arose from the fact of the Turkish troops concentrated at Constantino ple, and from which it was anticipated the Turkish Con tingent would he taken, had been suddenly called away by Omer Pacha to the seat of war, and all the available troops of the Sultan had been thus withdrawn. The Porte, therefore, with the most perfect readiness, offered to detach from the army of Omer Pacha a body of troops to form the contingent ; but her Majesty's Government declared that it was not advisable to weaken the strength of the army at the seat of war. It was therefore pro posed, and the proposition was now being carried out, that troops to form the contingent should be with drawn from the army of the Danube. This was a suggestion from•Omer Pacha himself, and the arrange ment of this body would soon be completed. The Earl of HARD WICKE considered it most de grading that this country should be forced to subsidise an army or to hire mercenaries for our military service. Lord PANMURE deprecated the observations of the noble earl, and considered it no disgrace whatever to this country to have the aid of such gallant men as those to whom he had referred. The Earl of MALMESBURY said it appeared to him, from the observations of the noble lord opposite, that he had entirely misunderstood the remarks of his noble friend. After a'few words from Earl GRANVILLE, the subject dropped. _ THE CONFERENCE AT VIENNA.
