--- his silence was designed, sometimes accidental; but the gist of all was " I shall not answer, for I do not want to . disappoint ou but when all is over I will give you an an • y ewer in full." If that system was to be carried out in all departments, what was to become of the business of this great country? On the 11th of Jau., 1855, the Earl of Clarendon wrote an answer to that document. He said:— " This matter has received the careful consideration of her Majesty's Government, and they find that General Williams must have. been in a great difficulty, and that her Majesty's Government could not but regret the silence of his Excellency upon the subject." Now he (Mr. Whiteside) admitted, on the part of Lord Clarendon, that he had fully discovered the misconduct of • Lord Stratford de Redcliffe. He admitted that he had been made aware of his errors, and had expressed himself with regard to them in a manner highly creditable to him as a private gentleman, but at the same time in a manner which was fatal to him as an English ,t ttesman. That was the last of the letters written by Lord Clarendon in answer to Lord Stratford de Radcliffe; Cominissioner Williams did not submit to this mode of being disposed of by the ambassador, and he begged to call attention to a letter a I dressed by Commissioner Williams to Lord Clarendon after Lord Clarendon had sent to him the defence of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe. The despatch was dated Jan. 15, 1855. They found that on the 21st of Jan., 1855, Lord Stratford de Redcliffe concocted another elaborate defence, • which he forwarded to Lord Clarendon, in which he fell back upon that trifling matter, as to the superscription of Commissioner Williams, and proceeded to speak of the real difficulties he had with the Sultan, who, having an army in the Crimea, and an army on the Danube, could not maintain a third. Then, he said, he had applied to the Sultan to make Commissioner Williams a Felid, which would place him in a proper position. It appeared that was not done, or rather that it was done in such an absurd manner as to be perfectly useless. The app Antineut was granted in Sept., but it did not reach Commissioner Wil liams until the 26th Jan. following. Commissioner Wil liams earnestly represented the wants of the soldiery, and that was communicated to the Minister of War, who, on the 26th of Feb., wrote that "Commissioner Williams would never be able to do any good unless he was allowed to have more discretion in organising the army at Kars." Then came a very clover letter from Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, the scope and purport of which was, that Commissioner Williams was sent out without any de finite object—that he was sent to Kars without the ambassador knowing for what purpose he went there, and then he requested to be informed how ha was to treat him, what was the extent of his power, and to what extent he was independent of the Commander-in-chief. The noble lord concluded a very clever letter by giving a dedicate re bele° to the Earl of Clarendon, for he says—" We shall be inconsistent with ourselves if we seek to trample down the last remains of Turkish independence." Now that was a downright request from the ambassador to the Foreign Secretary to explain the relative authority of the ambas sador and the commander, and the extent of jurisdiction conferred on Commissioner Williams. Where was the answer to that communication ? Where was the answer of her Majesty's Government to that important despatch ? He (Mr. Whiteside) contended that the Foreign Secretary, or the Prime Minister directing the Foreign Secretary, - had come to some such conclusion as this —" This will be very inconvenient—leave the question in the state in which it now exists—it is a very pretty quarrel as it stands, and do not let us attempt to reconcile or adjust it." On the let of March there was that extraordinary letter froth Com missioner Williams to the Earl of Clarendon, in which he . said ho wished his iefluence was sufficient to induce the Porte to listen to his warning voice, for that such silence as had been maintained was highly dangerous. o the public cause. " What mild I not have done," he asserts, "in the way of reform had oven a note from. Lord Stratford de Redcliffe by return of the Turkish post, which hies regular in its arrival as that between London and Constantinople.' The house would hardly credit him when he said there was nu answer by Lord Clarendon to those despatches. The least the Foreign Minister could in common justice .have said, was that he would consult upon what should be done, and that henceforth no mistakes of the sort should-be made ; but he made no reply, and Lord Stratford was supplied with his defence—" I asked you to give me the necessary information about Commissioner Williams, and you did not so multi as take the slightest notice of ray de spatch." He (tlr. Whiteside) could not understand a more . . • ridiculous aspect than the case assumed in reference to Lord Clarendon, Lord. Stratford de Radcliffe, and Com missioner Williams, for Lard Clarendon left it, to the am bassador and the commissioner to fight it out in the best manner they could. Then there was another trenchant letter from Commissioner Williams, which called forth no answer, He said :—. • • •" It exhibits, throughout the analysis of my reports frorn Kars, a marked disregard - to my opinion s • and a future referen ce t o a Muchirto be appointed i s the burden _of this long story. Ise forwarding' it far your lordship's perusal; I most, nevertheless, call .your lordship's atten • then to one or two salient points." . And having stated these he says— " Unhappily it is on record that his Excellency did not • ,do me the honour to acknowledge my communications, public or private, until- my despatches had reached the number of 61." - • Now these despatches contained the substance of the first -part of- the question now under the consideration of the house. Before, however, he proceeded to the second part, he would ask the house briefly to consider the ease in its constitutional aspect. He saw by the amendment of -.which the hon. and learned gentleman opposite had given notice, that he proposed - to appoint a 'select committee to inquire into the circumstances which attended the sur - -render of Kars, and especially whether :Inv neglect oi'dnty -on the part of .Lord Stratford deltedelitfe, her Majesty's Ambassador at Constantinople, and inattention to the re peated letters, statements, and deem& of General Wil• . hams, her Majesty's commissioner in that city, are among the main causes to which that calamitotts event must. be attributed. But let him ask, in reference to that amend ment, whether the • Ambassador was responsible- to the House of Commons? Who appointed the Ambassador? The Crown. Who exercised control over' him, anti could call him to account? The Ministry. C rufd the House of Commons call him to account? No ; all it could do- was, by its voice to act upon the - Government, who had the control over the public servants. The House of Commons could neither dismiss nor appoint, for that would be taking the duty of the executive. He would - beseech the house to consider the opinion of the country upon the question. "True," said the Foreign Secretary, " Lord Stratford de Radcliffe is an extraordin try, intract ible, and clever meet —he is our Ambassador at Constantinople—l ordered him to correspond with a valuable public servant, but I did so in vain." The Foreign Secretary says to Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, " You hive' miscondueted yourself; but still - I retain you at your Post." That was in 'precise accord ance with - the system which prevailed of late, which con ferred rewards upon men who had failed in their ditty, and promoted men according to the measure of their mis deede. (Loud cheers from the °volition.) Same time • • ago he (Mr. Whiteside) took upon himself the case of Mr. Kennedy, and 'hat was the ground upon which the , 't-ttrl right `horfoitt tbin gentlemen the mereber for the Uni versity of Oxford, then the Chancellor of the Exchequer, justified hid dismissal. Ho did not say that he - was 'dis honest ;or dishonourable, but that he was an intractable man, a man who rivalled the Treasury, and sometimes Awn- - thought differently from "the Secretary of the Treasury. It IC was the argument need by the Chancellor of the Exchequer; .),‘ • of an Administration of which the present Prime Minister eueto formed a part, that•that house hail no right under nny es • cnnestancee to interfere with the dismissal of a public ser vant ; but ho (Mr. Whiteside) nOw asked the house the constitutional intestine, whether the Governinentjueti flea the conduct of Lord Stratford Redeliffe, and wheth 'r or not it be a fact that they coesider his conduct to have. been -dangerous to the public cause. It' it were the fact that the army in Aaia Minor, fighting in a common cause, was disorganised by the ambassador, what must he - the condition of her ?Majesty's Goya-xi:neut to induce them to retain him, or in the spirit of cliquiam to saY,.that he was the only man who could perform the dutieS Of her MajeitY's' -ambassador at Constantinople ? If men were to be em ployed because they were incotimeteuta-if when ton gene • • ral wets committed the command of an army he disobeyed • or an admiral when told to go ono way went another—if these things were allowed, there would he an end to all constitutional Government. 3ut this was not the cardi nal paint of the inquiry which he intended to submit to the house. That portion of the inquiry being dispoeed of, they came to a very interesting portion of our Parliamen tary history. It was impossible to understand the ques tion thoroughly without looking back to the disruption of ' Lord Aberdeen's Government. At that time the house would recollect they were favoured With some personal explanations of a very interesting, character, and in ano ther place a noble earl,' who possessed a thorough know ledge of the subject and great eloquence, recommended her Majesty's Government to attend to the stete'of affairs in Asia Minor. — Having vigehire - intelligence, and elo quemee, of course the noble earl failed. lint the fate of -the hon. member for Aylesbury (Mr. Leya.rcl) in that house was more fortunate, for he made a convert of the noble lord the member for the city of London. (Hear, hear.) . He made a speech on the state of Asia Minor, the' infor mation•contained in which was eminently useful. When he spoke on that evening the-noble lord said nothing about Asia-Minor, but he meditated upon it, and the result was , the overthrow o! the Aberdeen Government. The noble lord made an. important statement on that occasion. The Duke of Newcastle, who was a member of the Mean: l i g . tration at that time, was held up by the noble lord to judicious and friendly exposure. (Hear, and laughter.) • Remembering that statement, he (:Mr. Whiteside) called upon the noble hird for his vote, not on ac-rant of party, but out of respect for his personal honour, his consistency, his conscience,' • •and his country. (Cheers.) The noble lord, in the statement he !Dade on the occasion ad verted to, said that in making arrangements for the next campaign he was not satisfied with some of the provisions of his colleagu es . Th e d anger of the Russian army ap proaching front the Asiatic side was pointed out. The n oble lord said that that WaS a most important subject, and had occupied hie mind very much,, but he could not find that he received front Lord Aberdeen the consideration be hoped for when the subject was brought under the consi deration of the Government. Now that proved that the noble lord was convinced by the arguments of the hon. . member for Aylesbury, and his consequent patriotism in duced him to overthrow the Aberdeen Administration, and to bring in a band of chosen Whigs, who would carry out the recommendations which had taken possession of the noble lord's mind. Ile now asked the noble lord Whether ha thought the war in Aaia had heart conducted with proper vigour, and if he replied that it had not, he should' ask him for his vote" on the resolutio n he should that night propose. Now, he (Mr. Whiteside) pr.,pose.l •to come to business. (Cheers, and great laughter, it bear, • just seven o'clock, and the hon.-member having spoken more than two hours.) The ambassador was iu good tem. perathe Foreign Secretary was- happy, and the Ministry was changed, Lord Nomura was in the War Depart ment, and General Williams was at Erzeroum, writing 'to all the gentlemen, w h o received his despatches, but seldom condescending to notice what had passed- On the sth of March General Williams wrote a letter to Lord Clarendon. It was a most important letter, and contained a complete account of-the state of the war and of the army, and the "future prospects of the campai gn, and on that letter the Government might have acted if they had been disposed to do anything. General William s Sy s he told the 3lnchir that he thought the allies woula not leave them J withou materiel assistance to bear the brunt of tha attack. But he stated that his warning voice was disregarded at Constantinople. That letter proved that the lines were too extensive to be held Sy the army in Asiatic Turkey, and the necessity of a supply of the material of war, and of some assistance from the British, French, or Turkish forces, or the allied forces. That document must have deserved consideration from any minister who was anxiou s for a right sconductlof the war. (Hear, hear.) Ile would now introduce several other persons, who took a part in the business., Lord Woaehouse was called into action. He was the under secretary to Lord Clarendon, and on the 29th of March he addressed a note to the Under Secretary at War. Lord Clarendon certainly was prompt on that occasion, for ho sent a despatch to the head of the War Department, Lord Panreure, who was bound to consider it, and pronounce a judgnient• and opinion upon the and ter which it contained. Lord Woclehouse transmitted a despatch from Gen. Williams respecting the reinforcement I required for the Turkish army at Kars.

With regard to Persia, the hoar. member for Aylesbury had asked for aid in Per sia from the noble lord, but what was the answer ? " Why did he interfere about Kars ?" Tire papers, too, were there; showing that the Persian Ambassador was re ceived at St. Petersburg, and loaded with presents, with a view to future designs against that Herat :about which Sir John Cam Hobhouse spoke so strongly. The noble lord hail spoken a good deal about the fallen nationalities, but when any proposition was made for the benefit of Eng land or Turkey, what was done ? Nothing. (Hear, hoar.) The great question of the conduct of the war was before the house. The first point touched the conduct of an am bassador, and the Government attempted to ride off by saying that it was owing to the neglect of a public servant —a transparent device that could deceive no one. (Hear, hear.) Was the house satisfied with the conduct of the war? There were not two merchants amongst them who after being a quarter of an hour in the Cabinet would not have made better provision for Kars than they hail dope. The public press said, " What was the use of referring to the past ?" True, they could no t re d eem th e pas t ; but they might take precaution against the future. Peace, with its blessings might disappear; war, with its horrors, might break forth again ; nay, a more terrible war might yet be lurking under a hollow peace. It was for them now to take good precautions. It was a maxim of the ancients never to pardon a second blander in the conduct of a war, a profound maxim that it would be well for the house to adopt. He would ask them could they affirm that reso lution. He asked the question fearlessly, not appealing to one party I.llole than to the other, because he believed that all were resolve I to maintain the honour of their country. Were they satisfied with the war? Should it go forth to the world that Engeand could do no more than subscribe four me r and a doctor for the bloody strife in Turkey, and leave the army there to perish upon the smallest atom of sustenance? Would the house consent before Europe to acknowledge its obligations to the Turk ish army ? He had placed that first in the resolution, be cause he thought it deserved best that position. They gave aid to the English, they endured suffering in every form, they followed the gallant Williams exclaiming, •` This is a paths such as we never followed bsfore. ' Once only had they broken out in murmurs. It is re ;oriel that they dashed their muskets to the ground, and cursed the coun try that they believed had betrayed them, but tidy mis took and confounded the country with the Government. He believed there was not an artisan or a mechanic i .1 this Empire who would not have shed his blood to have saved teem. (Loud and prolonged cheering,) Will von 'close, I ask again ( ontinued the hon. and learned gmtlema to make your public acenowledgments joy.o ly of your debt of gratitude to the officers who fought at the sieeo of Kars? I should hardly think there will be sa voice against that. The gallant Williams speaks to the harts of all of you, from his bed of suffering Will you say that the 'all of Kars did not endanger the Turkish provinces ? It did, and involved larger interests in terrible peril. Will you hesitate t i say that there was a want of foresight on the part of her Maj ‘sty's Ministers? Where was the grand scheme boldly devised and ably executed? Where was the use of that allied army fit to conquer a world, or that mighty fleet which was to sweep the seas ? Search the mass of jargon in that blue book, and tell me where. (Cheers.) Will you be satisfied with hollow words for deeds, and take badly-written despatches for brilliant ac tions? I rest this re ;elution upon the truth of the case. I place it in your hands, invoking the high ascistanco of a patriotic power, and anticipating the approving voice of an indignant people. [The hon. and learned gentleman took his seat after speaking for four and a half hours, amidst immense cheering, which was prolonged for several minutes.] The ATTORNEY-GENERAL begged the house to de scend from the lofty heights to which the vivid eloquence of the hon. and learned member for Enniskillen had carried thorn, into the more sober region of fact and reality ; and while going through the facts of the case, it was not neces sary to excite hostile feelings towards Russia by recalling her acts of aggression. We hail 'now arrived at a peace which he believed hail achieved all the objects aimed at. He would therefore come at once to Kars, and for that pur pose it was necessary to go back to the commencement of the war, and see the position of the Turkish army in Ar menia. However brilliant the successes of the Turkish army on the Danube, in other . places they had been conme. pletely discomfited. The Russians beat them in August, .1854, and it was just after that that General Williams was chosen to proceed to the seat of war. He would not read blue books, but simply the clespratches of General Wil liams, from which it appeared that there never was au army less worthy the name of one than the Turkish army in Asia when General Williams joined it._ The men were without diseipline, food, or clothes. and the officers were worse, if possible, than the men. They were utterly incompetent in action, and when out of it the worst set of robbers that ever disgraeedjthe name of a soldier. The calends robbed the men of their rations of broad and rice, and the chief man was the head of a band smug glers. In the medical department there were no medi • tines, which, as Dr. Sandwith says, was fortunate, because they did nut know bow to use them. The medical officers sold all their stores and instruments, and pretended they hail been seized by the Russians. Colonel Williams im mediately set to work to remedy that state of things. He urged antra the commanding officer the necessity of sup plies. The next thing was to get rid of Zedir Pacha, who commanded I he army at Kars, and countenanced all those things. To do this it was necessary t o ge t th e co - operat i on of th Turkish Government, and Colonel Williams was put into communication with Lord Clarendon and -Lord Stratford de Redeliffe. His instructions were clear and definite, to get all the information he could, and give the best advice he could to promote the welfare of the Turkish army. It load been said that lie had not been referred to Lord Raglan, but that was into reel, as the despatch from Lord Raglan, instructing him what to do, would show. Bat their it was said ho had no authority over the Turkish soldiers ; but that was no fault of the Home Government. If the instructions sent to Lord Stratford de Redcliffe were not attended to, the Government were not to blame. Col. Williams immediately put himself in communication with Lord Stratford de Re.tcliffe, and urged that stores should bo sent from Trebizond, which was impossible. The sup plies had to be collected in Asia Minor, and forwarded to wards Erzeromn and Kars. He (the Attorney-General) did not believe up to this point that anybody would say the Governmsnt were to blame. As far as regariled Lord Stratford de Redcliffe's refusal to correspond with her Majesty's commissioner, he was not there to defend that— (hear)—but auy high-spirited man who was sensitive of censure from a superior would co esider the despatches of the Gth and 11th of January. 1855, sufficient to cause much pain anal mortification. But what he would ask the gentlemen opposite was, would they have been prepared to say that her Majesty's Government ought to have re called Lord Stratford de Redeliffe ? He was the most dis tinguished diplomatist they could command, and certainly no partisan of the present Government. It was Lord Derby's Government that had over-leaped the first and unusual step in the psi r age, and made him a Viscount as once for his great services. N o am b• ssailor of ours h ad ever filled th post of ambassador with gi eater it fl tence and success, and be thought that simple proposition was a better way to try the question than all the eloquence of iiis hon. and learned friend. Wreak! gentle re ; opposite lave recalled L arc! Stratford de Re lcliffa ? But fro a the point he had just alluded t Col. Williams was foun Ito be in constant communication s with Lord Stratford de Redeliffe, and there was no lack of energy oe his lordship's part to promote the objects that Col. •.V'illiaann had at heart This part, however, the hon. gentleman opposite eel passed over. [The hon. ant' learne t gentleman thou refe:red to the procedings adopted to get Vie incompet ent emcees re moved.] Such was the st ate of things in M irch. 1835. The army said to have been at Erzerourn was found not to number 20,000 men, the g iner als having constantly doubled the actual number of mei so as to draw d •üble the rations required, andipocket the difference. Colonel Williams thee writes for reinf ecernecte. The Turkish Government would not withdraw any men from the Danube or Bulgaria ; but honoura ale gentlemen said, "You ought to have sent me r," but from whence were they to come? Every ho by admitted the import ance of aiding Kars, but how was it to be done? This country. never a gre .t military Power, hail just awoke frem a long dream of peace All the men that could lee got were %create( at Sebastopol. The Turkish Government said they had 15,000 men at Bat rum, of which they would send 10,000; bat when the 15,0)0 came to be examined the whole number was found to b 3 only 3,770. It was after Wards proposed to send the British contingent of 20,000, Geeeral Beatson's corps of 3,000, and Ge=neral Vivian's c n'ingent, but this was not done owing to their being raw trocers. Omer Pacha himself, in July, declared them unfit fur service in that country. Another maser' was, that the British Government knew nothing of Vie country nor of the cords, and what w rail have been sail had 30 00J or 40,000 men been landed in a strange country, and the exeedition had failed? How could the Govern ment have justified themselves? It was afterwards pro posed that Omer Pacha should take his own course. He went to Constantinople, and at the council, which was attended by Lor.l Stratford de Reilcliffe. it was suggested that Omer Pacha should take the Turkish forces from Eupatoria; and attempt a diversion in Ce-caFai.a. But it Was previously necessary to obtain the coneurreeca of the French Government, and he was sure that in doing its duty the house would not forget what was due to our Imperial ally. The French Government, however,.wishs d all the force practicable to be concentrated upon Sebas ' toesel, believing that the fate of the operations there would decide the issue of the war. The French Govern , meat acctr jingly agreed to Omer Peella se iceediee to Armenia, or Circassia, upon condition that the number of troops before Sebastopol was not diminished. But then another difficulty arose. Omer Pacha peremp torily refuel to move unless he had the troops frem Balaklava, who had followed him through the campaign on the Danube, instead of the Euoa.teria troops, in wheel he had no confidence. What did the British Government do? They tried to obtain the consent of the French Government, and Lord Clarendon sent a telegraphic despatch to Lord Cowley proposing that what 1 ad boon suggested by Omer Pacha should be agreed to. It is at page 267 of the blue book, No. 291. Lord Cowley sent back a telegraphic nes sage to the effect that the Emperor had no objection to the removal of the troops from Balaklava if they appeared fit to the generals in command, but that he himself would not take the responsibility. But it turned out that Generals Pelissier and S mpson had the greatest ojection to such removal of the troops from Balaklava. General Simpson protested in the strongest manner even against having the Turkish Contingent sent to the army before Sebastopol, or sent to the Crimea at all is its actual state. What, then, was the precise n a ture of the charge brought against the Government?—what was the specific accusation ? We had said that we objected to sending our own troops without necessaries, hut we had no objection to sending Turkish troops from Eupatoria. On the other hand, Omer Pacha refused to receive them—he said that he must have his veterans from Balaklava, or he would have none at all. The contingent must besides, in that case, have been taken to Balaklava from Eupatoria, a most necessary point to defend. Meanwhile the generals said—You must not move a man from Balaklava till the place has fallen. Was our Government, then, •to fly in the face of our allies, and have tuk.3n the troops from Balaklava? Suppose the Go vernment hail done all this—suppose they hail taken the lreeps from Balaklava, and sent the troops at Eupatorie to Bal iklave—and suppose any catastrophe to have occurree, what would have been said—how would the her o ,es oppo site have wrung with exclamations at their folly and Mi ne violence. If, then, tem troops could not be sent from Eupatoria, and the generals forbid their being sent from Balaklava, what troops had the Government to send ? We basal exhausted ourown resources to send men to the Crimea. The winter had passed over with much distress, but our army had at last become efficient; and were we to divide it—to have sent one-half of it to Armenia, while we left the ether half before Sebastopol? What would have been the declamation if the Government had edepted such a course? But then it was said that wo might have sent supplies. Supplies from where ? What was to be got was in Asia Minor itself. Some supplies of war might have been sent from Cons' aninople, anti the blue-beck shoes that the exertions of Lord Stratford do Redcliffe were in cessant to get supplies sent, and supplies were sent. Gen. V7iliiarns acknowledges the receipt of ammunition, powder, and ball, for the heavy gnus. Some artillerymen were also sent off. Many of them never reached their destination ; they were stoppe 1 at Erzsroum, but the British Govern ment were not responsible for the irregularities and peon- Miens of the Turkish authorities. But then again the hon. and learned gentleman said that the Government ought to have sent money. Money ! in what form ; as a gift or as a loan ? (Loud cheers.) If as a gift, it would be s aid that we were recurring to the old system of subsidies. It as a loan the ministry would net have dared to ask it. they had asked leave to raise the Turkish Contingent. It was said that what was wanted was efficient solaiers, commanded by efficient officers. Now, he believed that the Turkish soldiers were brave and efficient, but the officers were just the reverse. When they asked for the contingent how were they met ? Who was so lora in his denunciation as the lion. and learned gentleman op posite. Then, when they asked for a loan they were told that they hid not made out a sufficient case? They were told that time was wanted for,considera.tion, and the right hori e gentlernal the member for the University of Cam bridge urged in July the postponement of theloan. Where was the Con. and learned gentleman on that occasion he should like to know, who to-night was denouncing the am. bition of Russia, and actually seem I to grieve at the re turn of peace? Why, the hon. and learned gentleman, on that occasion, opposed the loan. He had no doubt that the hon. anal learned gentleman acted conscientiously when he said that rendering pecuniary assistance to Turkey was a false policy ; but what he did complain of was, the in consistency of theirturning round and denouncing the Go vernment for not seeding money. The Ruin and sub:4 ante of the attack was, that the Government had not done all to avert the fall of Kars which it might have done. Now, he wanted to know what were the precise points by which the Government mitile have prevented the fall of Kars which they did not do. He ayes not oue who judged solely by events, yet when the bon. gentleman saiiiteatthe down fall of Kars was the downfall of Turkey, yet the cenceetra • tion of the troops upon Sebastopol halt proved to be the real test of succees. What was the result? Kers fell, Sebastopol fell also, hut the Russians have not advanced to Ca nstan ti noel°. The real responsibility for the fall of Kars rested, he asserted, on Selim Pacha, who c remanded a coriseler able force, and most men wore agreed that if Selina Yacha had done his duty Kars would not have fallen. Was it fair to throw the blame on the British Government, seeing het there was already a snffleient force in Armenia- that they did not withdraw their troops from Sebastopol--or to asser, that they would have been juetitied in so (lung ? Again, it was said that Omer ['ache might have. prevented the fall of Kars. Now, when Omer Paclia found his troops at liberty, ho del land at Circassia, but he could get no further. flu would have been in time to have relieved Kars. Ile (the Attorney-Geeeral) heard some one say he would have relieved Kars if he had been in time He denied this. The reason w s not advanced, but he was stopped by the same difficulti s which would, have been met with by our own troops if they hal made the attempt. It seemed to be the universal opinion that Omer Pacha fade I because he went by waY of Cireassia, and if he had fol lowed the plan which Gem Williams advised, he m:ght ave succeeded Was it a ground of objection to her Majesty's Government that ()fuer Pacha'sexpeditiou faile? But now that peace was ratified, that the substance of its condition was known—that the herald of peace would most probably to-morrow announce it in official language—au attack was made on the Government for this single failure. . Turkey was preserved anal the British Rain.) honoured. When wore the resources of the British empire ever s gr e t —as a proof of which there was the noble spectacle which they all wit uessed on Wednesday. (Laughter.) Hon. gentle men might Laugh, but lie dial not think this au object for ridieule or merriment.. It really showed that while the enemy was in a state of t xhauetion Britain was never iu a biter positi on f or con t inu i ng the war. This was to be attributed partly no doubt to the liber ality of Perlitainent but some credit was due to those un ter whose administration of the country such results had beau produced in so short a time. Oa looking rotted he saw every reason for exultation in the present position of the country. lint the lion. and learned gentleman, in the midst of peace, found, on looking back, one little dark spot which had pro laced no results, and had not retarded the successful h sue of the war. The hen, gentleman seized upon this as a party triumph. But the house and the country were too just and too generous to take such 'a view of the aff.ir, mar to visit it with their censure. L and J. MA.NNEIIS said that the hon. and learned gentleman sued for the approval of the house in forme eeuperis, net on the partieelar case, but on the general issue. He felt it his duty to recd the house to the real euestion. The hon. gentleman had candidly admitted that there was one little dark spot oc our military affairs, and had endeavoured to diminish its importance with seniething approaching to ridicule. Bat what was the importance of the fall of Kars? It meant 'that the power of ~lengland had failed before that of Russia in the East ; that Persia had become a moral province of Russia; that the power of Russia had been established from the Caucasus to Hindoo Moosh. When he was asked respecting the fall of Kars, the honourable gentleman would seem by what he said to suppose that Kars had not fallen. He had done justice to the Turkish Government in admit ting that that Government had done something to re lieve Kent. It was not the fault of the authorities at Con stentiaople, and those in Armenia had shown the most lendable desire to put the army on an efficient footing. But the hon. gentleman in his desire to whitewash his Government throws the blame on Seller Pacha, when Selim Pacha was responsible for E. zerotan, the neat im portant place to the Russian armies. He had bat 8,000 men ; and what with these could ho have done against 30,0e0 men admirably equipped; when, if he had failed, the result would have been the immediate capture of Erzerourn. If, then, there was no one else to blame, upon whom could the blame fall but upon her Majesty's Mieis tors ? The hon. and learned gentleman passed over that part of his hon. friehd's (Mr. Whiteside) speech, which re ferred to her Majesty's agent at Constantinople. He (Lord S. Manners) did not think Lord Stratford implicated in the neglect which had lost Kars If his advice had been taken, Kars would not h ave b een l ost. H e del not think teat the catastrophe would have happenedir the hon. mein bet for Aylesbury had been Minister fur Foreign Affairs, anal Lord Ellenborough, Minister at War. When the only use made of them was to deprive Turkey of 20,00) . rut n, then he said their absorption into the English army was one of the causes which lee to the fall of K are. Let theta lead the language of Omer Paohe, Colonel Symonds, and others, anal then say whether if they had remained in Turkish pay in August last they would not have effected this diversion, which our Government would not let them make when in their pay ? The hen. and learned gentles man had not correctly stated the facts with regard to the projects' fur the relief of Kara. Had he shaken the opi nion expressed by all the military authorities at Cuusten tiuopl; in favour of the diversion proposed by the Turkish Government in Juue ? He said, indeed, that Omer Pacha could not have succeeded if his expedition had bean undtreaken 'at an earlier period, for he said that the weather had nothin g t o do w ith i mpe di ng his march. But we were expressly told by sir. Oliphant that the season of the year and the state of the elements had everything to do with the matter. The A.11:010.1EY-GENERAL did not say that the weather was no obstacle, but that it was not the only ob stacle. Lord J. MANNERS said that all other obstacles hail been removal by the geuins of Omer Pacha. The Russian troops had been defeated ; the Georgian and Miogrelian levies had been dispersal ; broken bridges had been re placed, and nothing out the break up of the weather pre vented his taking Eitel+, in sight of which his army ap proached. In fact nothing c :ad have prevented the suc cess of Omer Paella hail be undertaken his expedition at an earlier period. The fault of this Lay with our Govern ment. For the French Government did not at first stipu late that no Turkish trebles should be taken from before Sebastopol, but simply that the total 'lumber of the troops there should not be reduced. But then, said the hon. and learned gentleman, what could the Government do but yield to the objections which the French Government raised on the 2d of' August to the departure of Omer Pacha with the troops from before Sebastopol. But ho could not see the' necessity of a second reference to the French Cabinet, after they had once acceded to the former proposal. Anal even when they did it was clear that the despatch sent permitted the allied generals no latitude but to decide in what pro portions Omer Paella's troops were t o be replaced by this contingent, and by troops from Eupatoria. Omer ?ache was, eueject to their being replaced from these sources, to be allowed to take as many of his own troops as he liked to Asia `Minor. • But then the end of the despatch threw upon Gen. Simpson and Gen. Palissier the respon sibility of deciding wbother Oine: Pasha—the indepeuatent general of an independent power—shoulld be allowed to try to save the key of ono of its fairest provinces. But it was said that after Sebastopol fell Gen. Simpson anal Gen. Pelissier showed no iudispesition to allow Omer Pacha to proceed to Kars. But he de iuced very different conclu sions from the blue-book. Nearly"three weeks after the fall of Kars, Col. Sywoude stated that on the 18th Sept. Gsn. Pelissier had permitted the embarkation of three bat talions, but that up to that time that was all the Turkish troops before Sebastepul that he had allowed to embark. This showed the ill effect of that addition to the telegraphic despatch of August, which threw th e res p o h s ibility o f det dining the troops of Omer Pacha in the Crime a on the allied geeerals before Sebastopol. They were told that the Government woulal have been deserving of censuree had they run counter to the opinions of the allied generals, and hail determined to allow Omer Pacha to make his expedi tion. One point which should not be lost sight of had hitherto escaped notice. pa the 13th and 14th of July Lords Clarentin and Panniure represeente'l the fate of Kars as nearly hopeless, and rejected the best plan fur relieving Kies as wild and iinpracticeble. Bat on the 18th of July Lord Clarendon wrote- a eeeetch to Gen. Williams to coutiuue that defence, which, on the Pth of July, he had proclaimed to be hopeless. Was this creditable to the fore sight, or the decision, or the cleareightedness of our Beg lien Minister ? Lid that letter produce no effect on Genera] Williams? We hear from Mr. Sendwith that General Williams was kept at his post, and deterred from atteMpt• ing to cut his way througa the Russian army by the vehe mete enceura.genient 4 of Loral Clirendot),wh/hati,nevarthe less, a few days ue:ore, stated his belief twat their ease was hopeless. Then the hon. and learned gentleman said that the Government did all a Government could do ; that they wrote despatches to Lord de Radcliffe and General Williams. But of what value were these despatches ? They sent neithei moo, money, nor materiel. A n d t h ey refused to assent t o the proposals of either the Turkish Government or Omer Pacha to find men, and to make an attempt, And when at last they did permit an expedi tion, they clogged their assent with conditions that ren dered it valueless. They refused the Turks permiseioa ty make their owe efforts, they sent them nothing, they gave them no assistance; but they sent them advice by reams, its only defect being that it was foolish, impracticable, and inconsistent. Could any one deny that the advice given by the Government was deservedly characterised in this way, when they saw that the counsel they declined to take in July they tardily adopted in September ? This charge against the Governmeut was, that while they did nothing, they prevented others from doing tleet which might have had the effect of relieving He charged against them incousistency, vacilleedou, seita contradiction, of prop eieg plans which were imperfect and useless, and detecting leans whiuli avers staeestrien like and useful. Ile charged the Government that the noble lord at their head, who had oppos&I that wise settle ment of our differences wits America by the Ashburton treaty, had so conducted our affairs in Asia Minor as to restore the military supremacy of Russia iu Asia, and to enable Russian diplomatists in Pa:is to regain iu Asia what they had lost in Europe. (Hear.) - When the noble lord resumed his seat no one rose, and there were loud cries for a division. After a short interval, The LORD ADVOCATE eald the honourable and learned gentleman who had proposed the resolution had passed from one brilliant inconsistency to another. It was not true that the fall of Kars was due to the want of foreieht on the part of the British Government. For if there was ono thing clear, it was that if there was one man who hail exerted him self throughout from first to last in defence of Turkey, anal in promotion of the relief of Kars, it was Lord Clarendon. Indeed the hon. and learned gentleman himself teemed to feel something of this, for in the commencement of his T"4 .E gia N, ..f 0 ' . 4 . 0 0 Nr. TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL f , '9. 1 5 t'j . „. . A. .. 1 speech lie admitted the vigour and energy which the noble earl had displayed. Let him first call the attention of the house to the positiou in which Gen?ral Williams went to Kars. It seemed, he •thought, that sending him there was the commencement of a British campaign in Asia Minor; and that we ther..by pledged the power and the reputation of England in a cqntest with the armies of Russia. That was not the case. Ho was merely sent there to advise the Turkish generals, who' were plunged in corruption, to organize their army in such a manner as to enable them to mike such a stand as it was thought would be useful to the common cause. Then it was said that Lord Stratford de Bede& had neglected to answer General Williams's letter. Bat what had he neglected to do ? It was perfectly plain that he had exerted himself to the utmost with the Porte to attain the objects that General Williams had in view. Whatever was the result of Lord Redcliffe's silence it had nothing to do with the fall of Kars, because his silence ceased in Dec., 1854, •and Kars did not fall till November, 1855. Now, he would ask the house in what position were the allies in Europe at that time when the Russians broke up their winter quarters in Asia Minor. It was no doubt then found by General Wil- Mims that the troops for the defence of Kars were not suffi cient ; but it did not follow that her Majesty's Government was bound to find troops far that purpose. There was at that time a great enterprise in the Crimea ; and it certainly - eas a question whether troops might not be sent thence to Kars. Omer Pacha said that if they would allow him to take his troops from Sebastopol, he would invade Georgia by way of relieving Kars. Her Majesty's Government consi lered that proposition, and came to the conclusion that it would not be safe to reduce the number oft • oons before Sebastopol; but even if the War Minister had taken a dffferent view of the case itmust be remembered that we were bound to our allies, and could not act in such a matter without their consent, The.nohle lord who spoke I st made a charge against the British Go vernment that they sent out instructions clogged by condi tions which ho knew wore not the work of the British Go vernment, but of the French. (Hear.) That proposition of Omer Baena was rejected both by the generals in the Crimea and by the allies at home. Suppose by the removal of those troops Balaklava had been taken, would not a strone. e isc have then been made out against the Government for want of prudence and foresight. The hon and learned gentleman who commenced the debate seemed co think that there had been a vacillation and hesitation on the part of Lord Claren don in his correspondence with Lord Stratford and General Williams, but every one who looked to that correspondence would see that there was throughout au earnestness and straightforwardness which reflected the highest credit upon the Foreign Minister, and showed how zealous he was, not only that Kars - shoUld be defended, but that the war generally should bo carried on with vigour. Re. ference had been made to the Turkish loan. Everybody knew how the :Government was treated a,beut that mat*. er. (Hoar, hear ) After the treaty had been actually made, gen tlemen opposite were willing to brea'e both the treaty and the alliance, by refusing the loan. (Hear, hear.) He mere'y mentioned the subject in connection with the debate that night in order to show how hon. gentlemen's opinions might change. In reference to the want of foresight he might re mind the house that if it had not been for the prudence and foresight exercised by the British Government, Omer Paella's army might have been lost in the Georgian expeditioe and Se bastopol not taken after all.
