The Hotel de Ville has seldom seen under its hospit able roof a more distinguished company than Baron Haussrnann, the Prefect of the Seine, assembled on Thursday to meet Sir Francis Moon, Lord Mayor of London, and the gentlemen of the Common Council deputed to attend him. The guests comprised the most' distinguished persons in Paris, and scarcely a celebrity in politics, - literature, arts, or manufactures was absent: The diplomatic corps, the Ministry, the Senate, the Council o f State, the Legislative corps, and all the learned bodies were numerously represented, and a casual spectator would be embarrassed which mostto admire, the wonder ful variety of uniforme, the richness of the orders and decorations worn, or the taste and elegance of the ladies' toilettes. The guests were received with the most per fect grace by M. and Mme. Heussmann in the State drawing-room, the banquet taking place in the long. Galerie des Fetes, the finest room in Europe for fes tive purposes, From one end to the other of this noble gallery was laid out a table covered with the most splendid plate, cut-glass, flowers, and ornaments. At each end of the room a table ran across, and the Salle St. Jean, which opens into the gallery, was similarly occupied. Covers were laid for 350 persons, and as a lady sat by the side of a gentleman down the whole length of the immense table, the coup d' cell was one of unrivalled variety and beauty. The dinner, as was to he supposed, consisted of every delicacy that the gastronomic genius of Paris could furnish, as will be seen by the bill of fare which we subjoin. A find band of music played appropriate airs during the evenine, giv ing "Rule Britannia," as th e L or d LU ayor of L'ondon eetered the dining room. When the dessert arrived, the Prefect of the Seine rose and said : Gentlemen, I have the honour to propose the health of their Imperial Majesties. To the Emperor Napoleon lll.—to the Sovereign whose wise, pure, loyal, and courageous policy—by triumphing over the hatred sad -iuspicione of ages, has founded in a cordial and in dissoluble alliance the two greatest nations of the world, and thus preserved for ever the cause of justice and of (Applausel To the Empress Eugenie ! Her incomparable grace is the ornament of the Imperial throne, and her inexhaustible bounty brings blessings on eer head. " Viva l'Empereur I Vive l'lmperatrice !" A. numerous chorus here accompanied the band whilst playing " Vive l'Empereur !" The PREFECT, after a short pause, again rose and said : "Gentlemen—l have the honour of proposing the health of her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. May God protect the august ally of our be. loved Sovereign. May we soon see the hope realised that her Majesty the Queen has deigned to permit us to conceive, that of being allowed to offer to her in this very place, at the period of her visit to France, the homage of the respectful felicitations of the municipal corporation of Paris. Vive la Reine Victoria I" The national air of "God save the Queen !" was here given by the chorus, after which Lnrd Cowley rose to acknOwledge the compliment paid to his Sovereign : " I beg leave to return your thanks for the very cor dial manner in which the health of her Britannic Ma jesty has just been drunk. There is not, I am convinced a single English heart that does not beat responsive to the friendly feeling which is testified in France towards the Queen of Great Britain andtowards all English sub jects. Her Majesty is fully alive to the importance of maintaining the amicable feeling which now exists be tween the two nations, calculated, as it is, to promote so strongly the welfare of both countries." (Applause) M. DELANGLE, President of the Municipal Commission, next rose and said : "Gentlemen, in the name of the Municipal Corpora tion of Paris, I propose to you a warm toast of welcome to his lordship the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and our friends of the City of London. (Cheers.) The City of Paris has not waited, in order to enter into relations of benevolence and kindness with the City of London, until an alliance offensive and defensive should unite England and France. At the present day when the two nations have united their flags—at the present day when they spill the blood of their soldiers in the common cause, it is not only as colleagues, but as friends and brothers that we receive the magistrates of the City of London and their families, and that we salute their ar rival with acclamations. Welcome to his Lordship the Lord Mayor, and to our friends of the City of London.' " (Loud applause.) The LORD MA.YOR then made the following reply : "Monsieur le Prget, Messieurs les Ambassadeurs, my lords, ladies, and gentlemen,—The Lord Mayor and the Municipality of London desire to express to you their warmest thanks for the admirable manner in which they have been received by this great city, and for the kindness just manifested towards them by this distinguished company. Permit me, further, to assure you, that we shall n ever f orge t th e delightful re miscences connected with such a reception, calculated, as it assuredly is, to excite, even in our northern breasts, feelings that can never be effaced. (Cheers.) The mu nicipal body of Paris, by the inspirations of their wis horn, arrives at such grand results as to secure to them selves the power of giving such gorgeous entertainments as this which we behold to-day, and they do the best possible service to their country by bringing together under this hospitable roof the most distinguished r sonages of every country, and so exciting a universal feeling of genial amity and cordial consideration. (Cheer-.) This noble Hite). de Ville, in which we have been this day so splendidly entertained, presents such mar vels of art and such wonderful efforts of huipam genius, as exemplified by the stately hall in which we are now assembled, as to make me and the gentlemen who have accompanied me, feel as pigmies in onr.power of offering a palace for municipal hospitalities ; yet the points, in which we admit our6elves to be deficient in such mat ters, and which involve the cultivation of the higher works of art and genius, we can only hope to make up for, in the time to come, by the means of that unity of feeling, and that warmth of heart which, I think, I may venture to declare, is never wanting in the English cha racter, and which cannot but be increased by such kind ness and friendship as we are proud to say we have ex perienced on the present occasion in France. (Loud cheer ing.) Such a reception can be worthily responded to only by a cordial and heartfelt expression of acknowledg ment, and it is that which lam anxious, both in the name of the city of London and in my own, to here con vey to you in the most marked, the most sincere, and the most cordial terms. (Loud cheering.) Shortly after the company left the dining-table, but many of the guests 'remained until a . late hour in the suite of splendid rooms thrown open on the occasion. It was universally admitted that the Hotel-de-Ville, famed as it is for princely entertainments, had surpassed itself in this banquet to the Lord Mayor, and amongst no part of the guests was admiration expressed more warmly than amongst the English visitors. The Lord Chancellor sat in the Old Hall, Lincoln's. inn, today, to hear appeals. MEYNELL V. SIIRTEES. The further argument 3 in this part-beard case, the facts of which we have already given, the appeal having occupied the Court several days, were resumed to-day, and occupied his lordship the whole morning.

V. &NM Do Do Their lordships gave judgment in this case, leaving the parties to elect whether there should be a decree for a redemption of the security entered into or a dismis;al. In the course of,their judgment their lordships made some severe observations on the conduct of one of the solicitors in the case, and directed that proceedings should be taken against him, the cost; to be paid out of the Suitors' Fund, for the purpose of striking him off the rolls of the court. This proceeding their lordships considered necessary and jot to all parties, as it would enable the solicitor to explain the reasons for the course he had adopted. According to the evidence now before the Court his conduct was most blameable ; but probably that might be explained, and one of its officers might set himself right with the Court. S. Easton D 0...

To that suit he made no less than 37 persons, who also claimed liens on the estate of the defendant, and among them was a gentleman of the name of Camplin. That gentleman put in an answer to the bill, in which he set out his mortgage deed, and insisted that he had a prior claim to the plaintiff. That answer was replied to, and the Vice-Chancellor, upon the case coming before him, made a decree directing an inquiry for the purpose ofascertainin g what charges there were upon the estate, and directing the sale of it. Mr. Camplin carried his claim before the Master, which was rejected on the ground of the transaction being usurious. The Master reported against the claim of Mr. Camplin. He excepted to that report, and the Vice-Chancellor, on the case coming before him upon the exception, was of the same opinion as the Master, and overruled the excep tion. That judgment was appealed from, not by the Earl of Mansfield, but by subsequent incumbrancers. Their lordships were clearly of opinion that the whole transaction was a colourable one, that it was intended by it to give a usury rate of interest, and that the deed was therefore void, and the exception ought to be over ' ruled. 8 - 9 2i - 211 - 324 92 - 94, 1 OrtWestn .

The ease was between the appellant, representing the Postmaster-General, and this parish, and was with reference to the validity of the rate. An appeal was made at quarter-sessions, before Mr. Phinn, the late recorder of Devonport, who confirmed the rate, subject to a case to be stated for the opinion of this court. The rate was confirmed in October last, but no steps were taken by the appellant, whose duty it was to prepare the case, until March, when the case was de livered ; but so many differences'arose between the coun sel engaged as to the terms of the case that it was found necessary to refer to the recorder. Before that could be done he resigned office, but he has stated his readiners to entertain it, although he doubted his power without the consent of all parties, to which, however, the appellant refused to assent. i - ? il) 6 - 6 97 - '9 90 - 52 92 - 94 10 - 11 17 - 171 1011 -10 S 75 -77 191 - 20 9 -10 144 - 15 I - ,37 139 ••• -- 2i - ••• 3 1 Lord Campbell said it was most unreasonable and un handsome on the parties so to refuse.

The CHAIRMAN, in presenting the sword and Pollock medal, said : In the name of the directors of the East India Company I have great pleasure in presenting you this sword. It is the most appropriate reward that we can offer, and it is at the same time, I feel assured, the most gratifying and the proudest possession which you, sir, as a young soldier, can possibly receive. With honour, sir, you have won it, and with honour may you long be permitted to wear it. (Great cheering.) I have again to congratulate you, sir, your family and friends, on this further evidence of your good conduct and suc cess. The medal is awarded to you as the senior cadet, and ranking highest in general inetit. It was struck by the inhabitants of Calcutta to commemorate the distin guished services of my gallant friend and colleague, Sir George Pollock. May it, sir, excite your best endea• yours to imitate his brilliant example. (Cheers.) J. Bonus, first fortification, first military drawing, second general good conduct, military surveying, civil drawing, and geology ; J. Birney, second fortification ; G. Swinton, first mathematics ; C.

Soon after one o'clock the Chairman and Court of Directors proceeded to the sand modelling hall, where they inspected a most interesting model, scale 50 feet to an mile, and covering a space of 80 feet by 50, of the harbour, city, and fortifications of Sebastopol, with the adjacent ground, as far as and including the port of Balaklava; showing the allied lines of attack, the posi tions and camps of the several divisions, together with the lines of circemvallation crowning the various ridges and heights, and constructed after the battle of Inkerman. These and many other interesting par ticulars and circumstances were de-;cribed and pointed out by Cadets Bonus, Luard, Judge, and Hancock, In the meantime, a model of a battery in sand, scaly one inch to a foot, was constructe d b y C a d e t s Goodfellow, Swinton, Mathew, and Manson. The plans and draw ings in this department were of the usual excellent de scription. The CHAIRMAN (nr. Elliot Macnaghtcn) having ad dressed the cadets, the company adjourned to the house of the Lieutenant Governar, where a luncheon v , aq served up, and the proceedings terminated.

The scene will be enlivened by tip military bands, and the various flags displayed will consist of the banners cf Englaud, France, Turkey, and Sardinia. ment. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOI7SE OF LORDS--(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. SECONREADINGS. On th e motion of Lord REDESDALE, the following bills were read a second time :—Merton College Estate, and the Cromford and High Peak Railway. THIRD READINGS. The Banff, 31a.cduff, and Turriff Railway Bill, the Swansea Dock Bill, and the Cornwall Railway Bill, were severally read a third time and passed. The Earl o f H ARDWICKE gave notice that, on Thursday next, he should call their lordships' attention to the system of measurement of ships for tonnage. Lord BERNERS gave notice that on an early d..Y he would present a petition for the abolition of set tlements and removals, and be would then call the atten tion of their lordshiPs' to the subject. The noble earl also presented a petition in favour of closing public houses the whole of Sunday. CLOSING OF BURIAL GROI7NDS. The Bishop of LONDON having given notice of his intention to move that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, that it appears by petitions presented to this house that the want of adequate provision for the decent interment of the dead in some parts of the me tropolis is producing very injurious consequences on the welfare of its inhabitants and much suffering, which falls especially on the poorer classes:, said the question demanded the most considerate atten tion of the Government. He had taken several oppor tunities before this of calling the, attention of •her. M ajesty's Ministers to the subject, in the hope that some thing effectual might be done to remove the serious evils which at present existed. He was advised to move for a select committee on the subject, but he forbore to do so, because ho relied +von the assurance given him by the noble earl at the head of the Government, that the subject would be taken into their immediate con sideration. In that hope, however, he was disappointed. He bad since made application to the Government that had succeeded for a remedy for the evils complained of, but nothing► had been done upon, the subject. It was impossible that a remedy should be longer de layed without a tremendous risk to the health and well being of this immense population. Scenes of the most distressing kind were of daily occurrerce in consequence of the practice of closing so many burial grounds. Be fore the Burial Act passed there were- 43 burial grounds in the metropolis—a number far too small for the accommodation required. Since that act had passed, thirty-six of these burial grounds had been closed, while not a single new one was added to make up for the want thus sus tained. He understood that in one burial ground, which was left open in the neighbourhood of Bethnal green, no fewer than 3,660 interments had taken place in the year within a space of an acre of ground. The expense and inconvenience to the poorer classes was exceedingly severe, and the most heart-rending scenes took place in their efforts to con vey their dead relatives to the enormous distance which was now required. He would not persevere in moving the address, but would leave the subject in the hands of Lord Waldegrave, who had given notice of taking up the subject. The Earl of 'WALDEGAAVE quite coincided with the views and statements of the right rev. prelate, and would, therefore, move for a select committee to inquire into the whole subject. Earl GRANVIILE observed that, in dwelling on the evils which existed under the present law, they should not forget the evils which it remedied. The right rev. prelate complained principally with respect to the defect of cemetery accommodation in the eastern part of London. But the deficiencies in this respect, so far as they affected the poor of London, were fast being sup plied. Many of the large parishes had exerted them selves with most commendable zeal to provide new ceme teries ; one of whicle that had been laid out at Woking was almost large enough to receive the interments of the whole metropolis. With regard to the complaints of the right rev. prelate with respect to the detention of the dead bodies, it should not be forgotten that the act pro vided for the establishment of dead-houses, which he believed were very important, both in a sanitary point of view and in regard to the feelings of the poor themselves. The noble earl concluded by stating his willingness to receive any suggestions from the right reverend prelate on this subject, or to agree to the select committee moved for by the noble earl. The Earl of MALMESRURY, in pointing out the difficulties which beset the question, observed that even if the parishes were willing to buy, it was impossible to compel the owners of land to sell sites. He had known cases in which the parishes had been compelled to pay 1001. or 1501. per acre for a site for a cemetery. Another obstacle in the way of the provision of new cemeteries was this :—By the act of 1852 it was provided that a new chapel.might be built in a new cemetery; but in the act of 1853, which extended to the whole country, it was provided that if one chapel was built two chapels should be built—one for members of the Church, and another for the Dissenters. , The act did not, however, compel any chapel whatever to bo built. He knew the case of a parish, some of the parts of which were actually twelve miles from the parish church. The Bishop Of LONDON than expressed his willing• ness to leave the subject in the hdnds of the Govern The Earl of BURLINGTON moved the second read ing of the Education of Poor Children's Bill. After a short conversation, the bill was read a second time, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. Mr. FITZEOY took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

POWER OF THE GOVERNOR OF GIBRALTAR. Mr. OLIVEIRA asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention had been directed to the Ordinance issued by order of the Governor of Gibraltar, entitled "An Ordinance to prohibit unlicensed printing within the City, Garrison, and Territory of Gibraltar," dated the 18th day of May last ; and whether the said Ordinance met with the sanction of her Majesty's Government ? Lord J. RUSSELL said he had only to state it was only within the last few days the Ordinance in question had been brought under the notice of the Government by a letter from the Secretary of State for War. He should say it was not at all necessary that ordinance should have the sanction of the Government at home, but it was issued by the authority of the Governor of Gibraltar alone. EAST RENT RAILWAY. JAMES M'GREGOR asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the clause in the East Kent Railway (extension to Dover) Dill, to authorise the public works loan commissioners to advance 400,0001. t 9 that railway company, on such terms as may be satis factory to the commissioners and to the Lords of the Treasury, was inserted with the approbation of the govern ment ; whether any correspondence had taken place be tween the East Kent Railway Company and any de partment of the government on the subject, and, if so, whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer had any ob jection to lay such correspondence on the table of the house ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the clause was not inserted by the, consent or approbation of the government. A correspondence had taken place between Sir C. Fox and Lord Sondes, and if any hon. member wished to move for the production of that cor respondence he should not object. Mr. M‘GREGOR gave notice that on Monday he should move for the production of that correspondence. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Mr. WILSON moved that the house, at its rising, should adjourn to Monday next. Sir W. MOLESWORTH said before that motion was put, he wished to take the earliest opportunity of alluding to the remarks of the honourable member for the West Riding (Mr. Cobden) and en dorsed by the bon. member for Manchest.r (Mr. Bright) in two speeches of his—one on the Pacifico de bate and the other on the Syrian question. He would now read from Hansard what he had paid on those occasions. The right honourable baronet then read some extracts from his speeches, in which be said that if Russia puThed her aggression further France and England would compel her to desist. (Cheers.) Mr. COLLIER also offered a brief explanation of his remarks on a former stage of the debate on the war. The motion was then agreed to. PROSECUTION OF THE WAR-ADJOURNED DEBATE. On the order of the day for resuming the adjourned debate, Mr. SCOTT said his right hon. friend the member for Buckinghamshire had placed upon the paper a netice s o plain end distinct that the country fully understood it. After referring to the different mot ens which had been brought before the house in the course of the debate, the hon. gentleman proceeded to say that we were now dis cussing identically the same question which had ly. , e n raised throughout, only under a difft-rent form to that i n which it was first introduced. Revolve it as they would, the question . was :still the same,—the conduct of the war and the management of thy:, ntg,:t'ations for peace. The right hon. baronet opposite (Sir James Graham), although he was theoretically and morally i n favour of the motion of the right hon. member for Bucks, he nevertheless voted against his own convic tions on the side of the Government, in which example he was followed by the two right hon. gentlemen who sat beside him. This they had done, it was said, In order not to upset the present Cabinet, but he (Mr. Scott) - would remind thele - right hon. gentlemen that there After the opi n i ons those gentlemen bad expressed on was a tim e , an d that not long ago, when they were not so scrupul ous to avoid the dislocation of the Cabinet. this question h e s h ould have thought it would have been most important fo r th em to have retained their former positions in the Cabinet rather than to have deserted it at a time when their opinions might have had so beneficial an influence. There was one feature in the debate which he could not but mention, and that was that last night when the house was en gaged in one of the most interesting debates which could affect the character of public men, and the welfare and happiness of this country, there was an attempt made by the supporters of the Government on the other side of the house to bring the debate to a conclusion by counting out the house, and sours Cabinet Mi nisters who wore not far off thought it not worth their While to take any steps to prevent such a course. Whatever opinions they might entertain, they at all events seemed to think that what took place in that house %vv.., of less importance that, that which was occurring in thelobbv. He must aiso say that he was much surprised that the noble lord at the head of the Govern ment should have allowed the speech of the hon. member and ho (Mr. Scott) regarded it as a sign of weakness, or for Matic , ,e , ,•t-r to go forth to the country unanswered ; division in the Cabinet, that they had had only two who had expressed . their opinions Cabinet M inisters, onthe vital s l the country was looking sn anxiously time, too, when q y u e, :stion before the house; at a to wh a t ever th ey m i g ht h a ve to say. (Hear, hear.) Six Cabi ne t Mi n i sters h a d seats in • that house, and this was the sixth night of the debate, but only two of those gentitroen had as yet condescended to expae.s th e i r In the present condition cif the country it b ecame of great importa-ce that we should know wh a t were the sentiments entertained by public men. It had b een said that the Opposition ought to point out what should be done. It was not the duty, he contended, of the Opposition to dictate totheGovernment: their business was to take care that the Government did not embarrass the country. The country and the press had been unj us tl y c h arged with precipitating the nation into war. The fact, on the contrary, wag that both be lieved the Govern men t was doing all' it c mid to pre vent,in an amicable manner. the progressive encroach ments of Russia, but finding those aggressions still going on, the press, as the organ of the opinions and feelings of the country, pointed out that there was but one course open to uQ, and that was to resist those ag gressions by force of arms. That was the reason, and the only reason, why th e country nvaF ; a „i ons i c ; go to war. Well, then, coming to th e l a t e negotiations for peace, why was it that they had failed ? It was because the country had trusted too confidingly to the Cabinet, and exercised an almost culpable forbear ance towards it, in giving too much confidence to its measures. The papers which had been laid upon the table of the house, disclosed the means which were taken to arrive at the desired end. But whilst they enabled us to arrivs at that, be could not say that he could bring his mind to the con clusion that the Conferences were conducted in a way likely to arrive at the desired result. At the same time be thought the selection of the noble lord who had acted as our plenipotentiary at Vienna was the most unfortu nate which the noble viscount at the head of the Government could have committed. (Hear, hear.) He thought that they ought to have some more explicit explanations than they at present had of the course that had been pursued in the present negotiations. He attri buted the failure of the present negotiations to the noble lord the member for the city of London, and the noble viscount at the head of the Government. It might be said that in making these observations he entertained a spirit not consonant with those entertained by the noble lord the Colonial Secretary and - the noble viscount at the head of the Government, that his views were repugnant to them. He might do so, but still he thought that they were far better calculated to conduct and carry on the war than those parties who had seceded from the present Government The hon. member, after some further observations, concluded by stating that he should support the amendment of the hon. member for Kidder minster. Sir F. BARING said that in bringing forward his amendment he did it not from any opposition to the Go vernment, but to support it against the attack of the right'hon. gentleman the member for Buckinghamshire. Whrn he proposed his amendment the conferences at Viennahad not been closed, andhe thought that undersuch circumstances it would have been unfair to have censured the Government. Circumstances bad since then changed, and the important point now for the house to deal with was the amendment of the hon. member for Kiddermin ster. He had been told by the noble viscount at the head of the Government that the words of that amend ment were better than his. He bad his own opinion upon that point ; but still, if the house preferred it, he would at once give way. The resolution of the hon. member for Kidderminster was anything but sub stantial, because if the house carried it, the greatest loophole would be left to escape from every undertakin g that had been entered into. Much had been said ' about the preponderance of Russia in the Black Sea. Of all the propositions he had heard, none seemed to him so plausible for the prevention of that supremacy as the proposition of the present Government. It appeared to him that the house would not, upon the amendments that had been proposed, come to any satisfactory con clusion. As to the amendment of Mr. Lowe, Re thought the difference between that amendment an his own was more a 'ratter of taste than of politics ; and as he had always found in public life that the most troublesome persons to deal with were those who had a pedantic at tachment to words end phrases, he would not object to Mr Lowe's first amendment, on the understhnding that it did not alter the sense of his own resolution. But he - bad a strong objection to the honourable mem ber's second amendment, because it left the Govern ment free to mate any terms they pleased on all the points except the third. Wfth regard to this third point, he was surprised at the arguments used by Sir James Graham and Mr. Gladstone, as if the Russian proposi tion to allow Turkey to call in her allies was a boon con ceded by Russia, seeing that, in the protocol of the 19th of April, that very power was claimed by Turkey as her right, without any reference whatever to the consent of Russia. But, more than that,"these right hon. gentle men gsve great and deserved praise to the good faith of our French ally. But he would ask whether we were keeping good faith with France in turn, if, after pledging ourselves, as we bad done, not to make peace without France, we were now to lay down certain terms with or without which peace was not to be made? He ridiculed the idea of a great party division being taken on the simple words of Mr. Lowe's first amendment, that the conferences had been broken off in consequence of Rus sia refusing to limit her fleet in the Black Sea, and hOped the house would not be misled by such an attempt. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the Government was attacked by various parties and from opposite spar , ters. One consolation was that many of the shafts flew over their heads and fell among the ranks of parties op. polite. He attacked Mr. Cobden and Mr. Bright for their envenomed attacks upon the Ministers, and for making the sacred cause of peace a stalking-horse from behind which to discharge envenomed shafts against political opponents. Turning then to the seceding mem bers of the Cabinet, be said those gentlemen had brought the country into war, had then deserted their colleagues, and now lent their powerful aid to discourage the coun try, to dishearten their allies, and to inspire their enemies with the reflection that they had influential ranks among the statesmen of England. Sir James Graham gave as a reason for concluding peace, that all wars in modern times had become unpopular after a few years. There was some truth in that representation for special reasons connected with those wars ; but even assuming that this war should become unpopular like the rest, was that a reason for concluding a disho nourable peace ? What an argument was that to put into the mouths of our enemies—that if they will only persevere, England will soon grow weary of the war, and insist on peace ! He then dilated at some length on the aggressive tendencies of Russia —tendencies which he believed to be ineradicable, and therefore it was neces sary, to have some mat er i a l guarantee for the independence of Turkey. It was said that that guarantee would be se cured by allowing Turkey to call her allies into the Black Sea whenever her independence *as menaced. But that amounted to no guarantee whatever ; for it was absurd to suppose that Turkey had not the power to do that independent of treaties. On the other hand, he held that the limitation of her fleet, as proposed 'by the Allies, did contain in it the elements of a guarantee. And if that guarantee were not secured—if Rus sia obtained possession of Constantinople, it would not be long before she interfered with our commerce in the Mediterranean, and with our empire in the East. He thought, therefore, the Government had done rightly in rejecting the Russian propositions. He depre cate-1 these discussions about phrases and nice distinc tions when the conferetioes had closed, and when peace was to be hoped for only through the path of victory. Sir F. THESIGER also deprecated the continuance of a discussion whether there should be peace or war at )0 hon. and a time when all present prospect of peace had closed ; but he thought the time had now come when the house ought to inquire how these negotiations had been con ducted. He believed that they had been conducted most unsatisfactorily, and that arising in great part from le arnoefdthgeenotrliegminanof the entered er war,ed into T fattei r.et,choernhde.edd examina tionopinopinions the unfortunate 6olce of a n eggorteiaattomne The itieus Views es.ure accounted isnhaal come his part, h of Lord J.
