We, although giving full credit to the known bravery of the Turks, could not bring ourselves to believe that they would be able to resist the great numerical _superiority and dia• cipline of the Russian troops, commanded as th e y were by able gen era l s , w hil e the only general whose name wail known on the side of the Turks was Omer Pacha, wit* had not then the opportnnities he has since no nobly used in establishing his - reputation. .So much were we and the French Governaibut convinced of - this, tbso General Burgoyne and an exper i ence d French en - officer were sent to Constantinople in order to devises' means - of defending that city and the .Thirdanelles;. azidt: so much importance was attached to that measure, and so entirely was the campaign - mini - meted- with it,'- the departure of St. Arnaud and Lord Raglan**. Cibst layt d .in order that they might ha.veperseW.:ifitillitie with the officers who had been despatched on tisitCepif - s; cific service. • The allied army-went to Gallipo where A. of defeedifig • great works were . thrown up, and also nople, laying the neceisitY • fully in view. On their arrival they were enthusiasm, and their presence imperted.4ew courage and vigour to the Turks. SubstineitlY iheeortimid. ders of the two armies went to (Varna to meet Omar' Pacha ; who entreated that a large number of the allied , forces might come to - that place, kil6wing the moral: effect that thei r p resence would hate a sithoin hoer.' The Russians ma d e every exert i on h a - ilistrin be fore their arrival. The fortress haatatio heroically de. feuded, but the arrival of the tan% 7w goat useful.' The Russians evacuated the DubrtiOstmk4so recrossed, the Danube ; thes putting an end total southern move ments on their part, and making defy neive war a pow tion no longer to be thought of or alluded to. In trots.' sequence of these events, our armies are now free, and Probably have commenced those important operations to which my noble friend has alluded. (Hear, hear) : ra the Baltic we h ave two of the most powerful' fleets that, ever left the two coun t r i es, an d i f our success has not been se great against a power which obstinately refuses ' battle, and shuts up its fleets within granite walls, yd, it must be recollected that the ships so situated are blockaded _up and rendered perfectly useless, and when. we consider what our trade is, and how our revenue and our position amongst the nation depend upon that trade, ,I say that it is not an unimportant result that our ships traverse every sea as free from danger as if there was it universal peace. The consequence, then, of the Russian ships.being blocked u p i s , t h at our trade is flourishing, My noble friend should also remember that while our. ships are prosecuting their traffic in perfect safety, the Russian trade is nearly extinct. - I am not able to quote prices like my noble friend, who can state the terms on which Russian productions are brought to this country. All I know is, that they cannot come through the Bal tic ; and with respect to what comes by way of Memel, I understand that the prices of tallow coming over /and. is from 101. to 201. a ton—a price at which I Cannot conceive that much business can be done. My noble friend knows as well as I do that the trade of Russia is usually carried on with English capital, which ia necessary for collecting her productions and bringing them to market. All that has now entirely ceased, and the industry of that country has been consequently para lysed, while the want of markets has deprived the Rus sian proprietor of the means on which he depended to meet his numerous heavy expenses. Now, I know that these are not very heroic results, but I feel that they will do what my noble friend has pointed out as being desirable —they will create more pressure on all classes in Russia and produce a more profound impression than'. even if Sebastopol and Helsingfors had fallen for the gratification of our national ambition and military ardour. (Hear, hear.) We know that in order to maintain her self in this war, and over the vast territory which she occupies, Russia has been obliged to maintain and in. crease vast armies in Bulgaria, Livonia, Finland, Po land; the Danube, Circassia, and the Crimea. We know what has been the enormous loss of life, and the im mense number of conscripts it has taken to fill up the vacancies caused by death. I cannot state the exact number.; but we have seen " ukases" coming out, by which two, five, and even seven per cent. of their serfs have been taken from the proprietors ; and when .we remember that the price of a serf is put down at not less than 601., what a tax these levies must be, not only upon the revenues of the proprietors but on their capital. (Hear. hear.) They must tend to produce a deep impression on those classes who are not favourable to the war, whose fanaticism has not been raised, and who cannot be persuaded to believe that their religion is in danger. (Hear, hear.) Your lordships will also bear in mind that, owing to the perfidy of the Greek . Government, an insurrection was got up in the pro vinces of Turkey at the instigation of Russia. It pro- , mised to be most formidable to the Porte, but owing to the energy and determination of the English and French Governments, the insurgents have laid down their arms, peace has be en restore d , and I believe there are better prospects of tranquillity -in those mis guided countries than ever' there were before. It is . a pleasure to me also to be able to add, that the effect of these events has been only to confirm the good understanding between the two armies, and to cement ; the cordial relations which had before existed between the two Governments. The Emperor of Russia no longer thanks that the people of this country are all for peace, . and enervated against war, or that the alliance between England arid France is a rope of sand. The illusion also that Russia is superior to all other nations in military power, and in the success of her diplomacy has been com pletely dispelled. These, my lords, are after all no con tewptibie results. (Hear, hear.) I have already said it would be u , ele-s to detail the conditions on which we shall be willing to make peace ; but we are all of the . same opinion, namely, that the object with which we make war is to obtain a just, honourable, and, as far as human foresight can ensure it, a lasting peace, and we . believe that no peace can be just, honourable. or likely to be lasting, that does not secure the independence and. integrity of the Turkish empire, that does not make that empire a part of the general system of European policy, and that does not secure it from menace, from invasion, and from danger. My lords, in order to secure those objects, we desire to have the co-operation of other .go verninents ; but we do not depend upon that co-opera tion. France and England will not relax their efforts under any circumstances. We rely on our own re— sources and the justice of our cayse, and although we are ready to negotiate for peace, we shall never do so, unless with those conditions attached which we believe to be just, and which the whole of Europe is interested iu niaintaining.

The Marquis of CLARICARDE (who spoke very in audibly) said he now rose pursuant to the notice he bad given, to make some observations on the important sub ject of the state of the war in which the country was engaged, and to endeavour to obtain from the noble earl the Secretary for Foreign Affairs some further informs- Von with regard to the alliances into which we had either directly or indirectly entered with foreign powers. H e was not about to take any retrospect of the causes of the war ; but before he made any observations relating to the subject of the war, he wished to notice shortly some attacks which had been made partly in Parliament and partly out of doors on those persons who had thought it right to criticise the conduct of the war, either by commanders abroad or by the Government at home, which employed the forces sent out fur the f eir opinio ns , b u t o f th a t h e t oo k no acc ount ; that was beingpurpo purposes actuated ttehde by personal S uch motivespe rsons i h n a d expressing been accused h what all public men, and the best public men, were sub ject to, and must make up their minds to-it, and the persons who made criticisms on the conduct of the war in their places in Parliament were not neces sarily to be supposed to be less patriotic or zealous in the cause of their country than those who supported all the measures of all commanders and all govern ments. To suppose that no such criticisms were to be made was absurd and unreasonable, was opposed to constitutional precedent, to common sense, and Parlia men t aryswwtbwfbwtouhoeeeeaerepsrrrstswpceehe vooenorrnraafrotetynrnwiopl ietniofniParliamentary Parliament only nml ye u sage.

He would not carry this question, which had been so often dis cussed both in and out of Parliament, further, but he he would say, that although war was declared in March, it was not till May that the public was aware that any change was to take place in the war department. He wished next to state his regret that the blockades of the enemy's country were not so effective as to injure their trade and commerce to such an extent as might have been expected from the great armaments which had been sent out. He could not understand why the blockade of the White Sea and Archangel was not en tered into till the first of August. A great part of the commerce of Russia had its outlet in she ports of that sea. The Baltic blockade, though commenced somewhat lete. was certainly not without effect. The operations of Russia in that sea had been entirely stopped, and the revenue to be derived from customs duties in her sea ports there had been suspended. That was undoubtedly no slight operation or advantage. But though the trade of Russia in that sea had been stopped, yet there were great facilities for carrying it on still open in the lower part of that empire; and although much had been done by the blockade to stop the revenue of the Government of Russia, yet it had not been so effectual with regard to the trade of the people of Russia. He stated that as a fact which could not be deniO,,and as a proof of it he would state that the prices of Russian produce had not been sensibly raised in our markets since February last. He admitted that prices at that time were not peace prices ; but if prices of Russian produce had not sensibly risen since then in this country, it showed that the suplily had not been stopped. More than that ; as, , regarded the produce of the countries on the Black Sea"; it was a fact within his own knowledge that the articles of produce from that part of Russia were now at lower prices in the markets of London than they were two months ago. It was a (act within his own knowledge that a contract for the supply of linseed from the Sea of Azoff, was at alo werrate than was charged two months ago. If that was so, not withstanding the despatches of any admirals or any cap tales, there could not bean effectual blOckade of the Black Sea. He made these remark:i withA View to the future, for he could see no visible end of the war till you brought the war and the losses the war carried with it to bear on the people of Russia. It was a mistake to say that there was no public opinion in Russia. There was a public opinion, and one which was much dreaded by the Go vernment. It was a public opinion which was not often or easily roused ; when it was roused, it acted in a man ner at which tile Government was much frightened. (Hear, and a laugh.) He would now approach another tonic, and he would frankly say that he thought there had been remissness on the part of the Government. He alluded to the much vexed question of the supply of gun-boats. It was no answer to say that unprofes sional people were not qualified to give an opinien on a subject about which they could know nothing ; for there were facts connected with it which were easily to be dealt with by the rules of common sense, and any person exer cising his common sense was able to judge of them. There were two great facts that could not be denied. Firstly, that neither of the fleets, and especially the Baltic a fleet, were e uep li e d w i t h steam gunboats, by which he meant vessels drawi ng f our or fi ve f eet of water, and car rying heavy armaments. There w a s a l so another fact they would if the fleetshve had l h wlich ee c n ou e ledpnpolied tbe w d i e th ni s e u d e , h an g d o t eh ha o t a w te as . been eminently useful. However questions on that sub ject might have been met by taunts and ridicule, it had never been denied that the fleets had not been supplied with gunboats, or that such gunboats would have been eminently useful. Let him recall to their lordships' re collection what had occurred the other day in the recon naissance before Boinarsund (where he hoped our ships were at this moment triumphant) by the ships of the squadron employed in that set vice.. ; The statement he was about to make was made on the highest authority. The squadron consisted of four large 60-gun screw ships, the Valorous and another steam frigate. At five in the morning the vessels weighed and stood in for Bomar sund. At a quarter to six the Valorous signalled that she was aground, and she remained aground till a quar ter to ten. At three o'clock another went aground, and it was some time before they were got off. Now, had there been vessels ahead of light draft of water, all this would have been prevented ; and if such vessels had been armed with heavy guns, it would have been easy with the assistance of the squadron to have shelled the fort. (The noble marquis proceeded to refer to the range of long guns and bombs, but in so low a tone that only an occasional word reached the gallery.)• Mortars and bombs would carry and had been worked efficiently at a distance of 5,000 yards, and it was common sense that in a war of bombard ment which this was, if you had twenty or thirty vessels armed with long guns and bombs carrying shot and shell to that distance, its the lone run no stone walls could stand against-tlaem. They all knew that in the Mores, in the war against Ibrahim Pasha, the forts and castles were shelled and the works destroyed by our mortars and long guns, while our own vessels were kept wholly l out of rang e o f th e enemies ' guns, and not a man wa s ; a nd was it not evident that in a sea abounding with shoals, with 'numerous rivers debeuehing into it, that vessels of a light draught of water, and carrying ad vantage to the fl ee t ? But it had b een sa id tauntingly heavy armaments, mus t b e o f th e greatest possible in answer why don't y ou w h o talk so much about these vessels show us how we are to build vessels which will carry such heavy armaments, and at the same tine draw so little water as to allow of their being used in shallows and rivers ? Tins argument; I else aware, has been ad vaneed by persons of professional knowledge, who bring the weight of their authority to bear against those who a Ivance opinions upon theee matters unsupported by profeisional experience ; but when that authority is passed, as it has been, in the face of notorious facts, I think it only betrays the ignorance and inexperience of the party, be he professional or not, who brings it for ward. I state as a fact which no one can contradict that there are at this moment, or at all events there d n thr o ea t y , w fr wm om eorree were a fe w months ago, no less than five steamers plying on t h e rivers of Upper California that could t h et e f h a n go a r t e u at r t r el rr e of d f d r or r h e the fourh t w a t t h e f F ye t t e h oo e fe y i dw n a an v t ee i g tr a p t e e ] f. I t s , sibly pass the bars, and the (pitfalls of the rivers, and these boats drawing only from three to four feet of water carried from 80 to 100 tons of merchandise and 30 to 60 passengers every day, ascending the rives with this bur den at the rate of 104 and descending at the rate of about 16 miles an hour. When they found these boats there, why were they to be told it was impossible to build boats to carry a little weight and drawing a 1 little less water than those now`.'n use ? Nor let him be told that such boats would not be fit to navigate the open sea when it was a notorious fact that the beats he had alluded to navigated the bay of Sem Francisco, which was 80 miles in extent, and where there was often than a v e e ry l2 h t e e a r v i sieeaelreudni including n e g e . heavy guns, such as he propoeed, would not weigh more thatß uStirhecj,d they found vessels drawing between 3 or 4 feet carrying rtiAa g ne :a i n i d an tl e c i le a le o , f a t ii w d o w l h on en g upwards of 100 tons, there could murder be real difficulty other the case. He had referred to this ne because in the y i other house there had been topicprodsicedb an hon. and gallant officer connected with the Gover y nment letters and extracts from despatches of the admirals coirmand ing our fleets in the Baltic, which it would have been extremely painful to hear or read, if it could be sup aidrlenset posed that they afforded a fair sample of the whole home to the Government that the fortress of the Napierbe i believe o, wrotenor ene my was impregnable, and that with the 'fine fleet 1 t d e i d n o t u h r e of publicth e d des believe, l e i e t etches; s he had under his command he was able to do com paratively nothing. The public believed, and he . be lieved, that in these letters and despatches Sir Charles Napier pointed out that there w ere particular points in! deficient, and t which the fleet was hat he anplied to have deficiencies supplied, explainin those g at the same time that the reason the fleet was not enabled to act as be wished it to act, was that he had not the appliances which he considered necessary, and for which be asked. He said nothing of the indiscretion of rn a k ieg n such state mattermentspublicly in Parliament, but he referred to the because, in some respects, it justified his again intruding upon their lordships' attention upon this sub ject. Then, with respect to the .m 1111.1.ances and confede racies to which he had referred his • notice of motion G M as having been entered into between her„..e Majesty' no s o ble ver friend would not thinnment and other Gov k er him eeth -tte hoped his particularly curious, when he said that he thought before Parliament rose they ought to have before them a copy of the treaty, to which he had alluded on previousorte occaeion, entered into between Austria and the Porte. That treaty was concluded on the 14th June, h e believed, at Constanti nople, under our auspices. He believed it w as notorious . - r t were reluctant to allow an that the Turkish Governme Austrian army to enter the Danubian provinces a n d it was a matter of fact—it r to them officially—l that the Servian neat Govern protested a hem the occu- Auetrian force. They had the pation of Servia by an document in which that protest was embodied on the table, and an admirable document it was ---well orth their lord s hip s ' a tt en ti on . It was where were notorious that there were many reasons why the Turkish Govern ment should not be anxious to allow an Austrian occupation of the principaliti es , h owever anxious she might b e t o have the assistance of that great military poepawn in carrying on the wa r . B u t th e ques ti on was, did Austria by thi s occupation assist Turkey inn carrying on the war ? That h he wished to obtain i n f ormation was the p o i n t on which from his noble friend. He wanted to know what were the words upon which the Government relied, that *e s . tria would co-operate not for her own )bjects merely, but for our objects, in the war in which we were en gaged, and that she would not take up a position which would render her arbitress, as far as the principalities were concerned, of the ie , ue of the war. There was somethiog strange in the langaaee of the treaty, and the manner of carrying out. It was signed on the 14th of June, and up to this moment, so far as they knew, no A ustr i an sold i er had crossed into Wallachia. He begged to be understood as throwing no blame upon Austria in this respect. She had a perfect right to pur sue her own policy. She was a great power, and doubtless had great objects in view. He would only say that he hoped these objects were honest ; but she had a. perfect right to conceal her policy if she thought At.

Lord CAMPBELL said he was requested by the executors of one of our greatest poets—Thomas Camp bell —to put a question to the Prime Minister as to the statute proposed to be erected in Westminster Abbey, to that distinguished man of genius. Ten years had elapsed since he had the honour of being present at the funeralof the poet, when the Earl of Aberdeen, Sir Robert Peel, Lord John Russell, and many other il!ustrious men in the country did homage to the than. After the inter ment of his ashes in 'Westminster Abbey, a subscription was set on foot, at the head of which appeared the name of the Queen, for a statue to be placed in the abbey. At the funeral the executors paid 731. ss. 2d. for the grave, and 71. 7s. for putting the name upon the stone. When the statue was finished, application was made to the Dean and Chapter to allow its erection, but they de manded a sum of 2101. for the two feet square of ground which would be occupied by the pedestal. The executors had no means of paying this sum, as all their funds were exhausted, and the consequence was that the statue had remained in the studio of the artist for five years. He thoughtit was disgraceful that such a demand should be made, especially as grants had been voted to the abbey for keeping it in repair. He wished to know if the Government would promise to make representations to to the authorities of the abbey on the subject? The Earl of ABERDEEN entirely sympathised with the noble and learned lord in his feelings towards the distinguished person to whom he alluded, but the de mands of the dean and chapter, though they seemed extravagant, were necessary to maintain that glorious fabric, Westminster Abbey, for there were no funds for that purpose beyond what they obtained in this way ; and he suggested that admirers of departed genius should contribute to the expense of erecting monuments to them, and he (Lord Aberdeen) should be, for one, most ready to cnntrihut.e to such a fund. RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT SECURITIES BILL. On the motion of Earl FORTESCUE, this bill was read a third time and passed. The Militia (Ireland) Bill, the Militia Ballots Suspen sion Bill, the Militia Pay Bill, and the Midland Great Western Railway of Ireland Bills, were severally read a third time and passed. SECOND COMMON LAW PROCEDURE (1854) BILL. The Commons' amendments to this bill were, after a few remarks from the Lord Chancellor proposing amend ments in the clauses, considered and agreed to, on the understanding that the subject should be more fully con sidered next session. CONSOLIDATED FUND APPROPRIATION BILL. On the motion for the second reading of the Consoli- dated Fund Appropriation Bill. Lord MON'TEAGLE said it was believed there was a serious difference of opinion on questions of finance be tween her Majesty's Government and the Bank of Eng land. Now, as these differences of opinion concerned the nation at large, he had been induced to put a ques tion to the Government on the subject. He had put a question to the Government in June last, in reference to the litigation with the Bank on the subject of deficiency bills, which had not been answered on the ground of the circumstances then pending. Two months bad now elapsed, and he thought that an answer ought to be given. Ho did not regret the liberality with which the country had come forward with supplies, because he thought it was indicative of confidence in the Go vernment, but wishing for more information, he now desired to know whether Government would lay such papers on the table as would serve to put the public in possession of the whole subject-matter. It was satisfactory to . find that the additional 5,000,0001. placed at the disposal of Government was to be sub ject to the salutary control which was applied to the issue of public money from the Treasury. He wished to ask whether Government and the governors of the Bank had come to an understanding with respect to their re lative rights, and if so, what that understanding was ? Earl 'GRANVILLE said the noble lord's question had reference to the question put to him on the 2d of June, and cn that occasion he stated that some differ ence of opinion had occurred between the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Bank of England, but that as tl,e differences were somewhat of a private nature, it was i not usual, except under peculiar circumstances, to pro duce the correspondence to Parliament. There had been some differences of opinion between the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the governor of the Bank of Eng land. These differences had been referred to the officers of the Crown, and he had no other answer to give now to the noble lord's question. The question had been re ferred to the, Crown law officers, they had been pressed for a reply frequently, but they were not yet prepared to give any official opinion. As soon as it was given he would give Parliament and the country the earliest in , formation on the subject. what was to 'be our policy—how far we were wise in agreeing to the treaty, and • what • was the security we had that it would be carried out ?. In the first place Austria engaged by that treaty to endeavour, by all means in her power, to obtain the evacuation of the Danubian Principalities hy 'the Russian forces, and if ne cessary to ernply force to compel that evacuation ; and she engaged also to restore the Principalities as soon as a treaty of peace should have been concluded securing the integrity of the Turkish empire. Austria might, in concert with Prussia, have the utmost possible induce ments for desiring that the Czar should withdraw his troops. When Russia refused to obey the summons to evacuate he should, have thought that Austria would have moved at once. But she had not done so, and the 'question was—Why had she not? It appeared to him that her conduct could only be explained by the suppo sition that she had in view her own particular objects. His belief was that Austria would not move until Russia had moved, and that we should never get Austria to co-operate cordially with us in our objects as our ally in this war. It would be observed that this power to enter the Principalities was given . to Austria under this treaty, without any declaration of war being necessary on her part against Russia. The probability was that she would not allow any of her soldiers to combat the forces •of Russia. She would enter the Principalities, b u t on l y to place her forces between a retreating army and the victor, and main tain by means of a powerful army an armed neutrality, or if she pleased an armed intervention. What security had they that this would not be the course of Austria 1 They must consider what were the objects of Austria. It was no triumph of Our diplomacy if she now entered - and occupied those provinces, though he admitted that her assistance would be ;Try valuable if it could be de pended upon. But was it to promote our objects that She interfered to stop the advance of the Turkish army I No such thing; but the occupation of the Principalities was as much an object to Austria as to Turkey. Ho .did not mean an object of possession ; but what he 3neant was, this, that if Russia took permanent posses. sion of the Principalities, the injury to Germany, and to the. Austrian army in particular, which would result from the occupation by the Czar of both banks of the Danube, would be far greater than the injury to Turkey. True, the result in one case would be that the Ottoman empire would lose aTmrtidn'of its territory ; but in a military point of view, and commercially in a still greater degree, Germany would be infinitely more in jured. Here, then, they had an explanation of the object that Austria had in view, in desiring that Russia should not possess the Principalities ; and, as she could not view with indifference the entrance of an allied army into them, no wonder that she evinced a readiness to occupy them herself the I inure especially as she could do so and maintain an armed intervention without being in hostility to any country. For the cause of the war, or the injustice of Russian aggression against Turkey, he believed she cared nothing. The claims of the Czar he believed were wholly untenable; but when th e war b egan his avowed object was not the possession of the Principalities, but• entire power over all the Christian subjects of the "sick man" in the first instance, that he might be evoked hereafter to take possession of the "sick man's" house. That was the protection that Russia claimed over Turkey, and when we entered into the struggle our, object was not the mere evacuation of the Principalities by Russia, but to secure, in the first instance, the independence and in tegrity of the Ottoman empire ; and, in the second, to secure the peace of Europe by preventing the recurrence of similar acts of aggression fur the future. Such were the objects of the people of both England and France, and such were the objects which had been declared by the ministers of both countries. The war in which we were engaged was, he believed, generally admitted to be a war of civilisation against barbarism. It was a war in which the interests of all Europe were involved, and could not terminate until we obtained material guaran tees that the Czar would never again advance similar claims. (Hear.) Austria, however, had never taken this view of the case.. All she did by the treaty of Con stantinople was to provide that, supposing the Principa lities evacuated, peace should be treated for on the basis of the status quo, and if these conditions were refused, then he feared we should be brought into conflict with the German Powers. Should such be the result, seeing that we had justice on our side, and that we were en gaged in supporting the cause of civilisation against bar barism—in the defence of a weak power against the un justifiable aggression of a strong neighbour—he was not afraid to say that if those powers should be found leagued against England and France they would fail. We might safely look for assistance against the dishonesty of the Governments in the feelings of the people. We had suffered much from this alliance. At the commence ' merit of the war it had been the means of preventing Omer Paella from facing the then comparatively insig nificant army of Gortschakoff, which, according to the Opinion of Omer Pacha himself, must have been defeated by the overwhelming force which he could have brought to bear against it. Then, from the same cause, the de claration of war by England and France was delayed, and a further advantage given to Russia. Every per son who had seen the Turkish army had described it as one of the finest in Europe. It was stated that the sol diers, for patriotism, courage, and endurance, were worthy to comp to with those with whom they were now combined. But it was f .und that the weak point of the Turkish army was in its officers. The weak point being known it might have been remedied. Officers were to be had of the right sort, men who knew the country, and who were capable in every respect; but, out of respect to the German powers, the Sultan was not permitted to employ them, and for a:considerable time, and that time one when vigorous action was of the greatest importance, he was obliged to decline the ser vices of European officers. Such was the result of the Austrian alliance up to this time. He knew not on what grounds the Government relied on the cordial co operation of Austria now —not on Austrian subjects merely, but on the subjects of civilised Europe, and therefore it was that he hoped that his noble friend would, before the close of the session, be enabled to lay before the hointe such correspondence and communica tions as would explain the grounds which the Government had for relying upon Austrian good faith. Referring to the blockade of the Russian ports in the Euxine, the noble lord said that he had not thought it right to say anything in the way of blame, nor did he wish to allude to the dashing exploit performed the other day by the Russian steamer Vladimir, in sailing out of Sebastopol, eluding the vigi lance of the whole of our fleet, and capturing a number of Turkish transports. He did not impute blame to Ad miral Dundas ; for he trusted he would have a good ex cuse to give in the fact that the whole of the force at his disposal was engaaed,in another and an important duty —the expedition of which they had heard. He looked to the sending forth of that expedition with great hopes, for he was convinced, from the experience of the officers in command of the allied forces, that they would not undertake an expedition which they had not reasonable grounds for believing would be successful. He believed that the expedition was a necessary one, and if it were attended with risk and with delay, he for one should not be ready to quarrel with it on that account. He was aware that great objects could not be obtained without great delay and great risk. lie had no doubt that every thing would be done that could be done by the gallant officers who commanded it, and by the naval and mili tary forces who composed it, and for his own part he was extremely happy to hear that the expedition had been undertaken. (Cheers.) He repeated his hope that on the points to which he had referred some information would be furnished by the Government ; and after apo logising to their lordships for detaining them at such length, he concluded by moving, in accordance with his notice of motion, "for further information respecting the war, and the alliances and confederacies entered into." The Earl of CLA.RENDON—My lords, my noble friend began his speech by a somewhat elaborate de fence of the course he has thought it his duty to take this session, and as it has generally been my duty to reply to his speeches, I hope he will permit me to say that I have never made any of those charges which he has now refuted—that I have never impugned his mo tives or complained of the perfect consistency of his conduct from the first day of the session until now almost the last, in allowing no opportunity to pass of marking his want of confidence in her Majesty's Government in respect to the war, and 'the manner in which we have carried it on. (Hear.) My noble friend need not have instituted a parallel between Mr. Pitt and himself—(hear, hear, and a laugh)—as to the manner in which he exercised his privilege and his duty as a member of your lordships' house, inasmuch as his con duct in this respect has, as , far as I am aware, never been impugned. (Hear.) If, however, I ever had any disposition to impuga his conduct or question his discre tion, I think it would be to-night, when the first hour of his speech• has been occupied in detailing facts, which, if true, it would be most precious for the enemy to know, but to which, as neither myself nor my noble friend near me, the noble duke (Newcastle) possess any knowledge of them, I am quite unable to reply to him as I could wish. (Hear.) The Marquis of CLANRICARDE here made an observation, denying that he had entered into such details. The Earl of CLARENDON—Yes ; my noble friend_ referred to th e w a nt of mortars and of gun-boats, which, he says, exists, and to what he calls the inefficiency of the fleet. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE again rupted, but the remark he made was not heard dteir a the gallery. The Earl of CLARENDON—With regard to that part of the case brought forward by ad m d my n oble friend to which I shall more particularly Porte--I myself-- the have to express treaty between Austria and the my regret that I have not, as I ought to have done, laid a copy of that document upon the table. The last time my noble friend spoke of the matter I referred to the copy in the Foreign-office, and found that it was a mere rough draft, having upon Is number of marginal n o t es ; it turned out also o n thai it was then unsigned, and was not in that complete shape in which I could lay it b e f ore your lordships. But my noble friend must have been p er fectly cognisant of all the. stipulations of that treaty, for it h a d been published m the Constantinople Gazette, and 'reprinted in various other newspapers. As respects the treaty itself, I do not think it merits the stric tures my noble friend has passed upon theon p it; oratne at and with regard to its having been agreedc_ to by aligiln4 ll . 1 A ICI4 Willi _ ___ that Lord Stratford, our ambassador at Constantinople, had been instructed to support a treaty between Austria and Turkey founded upon the under Standing which had been come to between Austria and the Goverumeuts of France and England, and that, in consequeece, the Porte agreed to it. Your lordships are aware that not many months ago the Austrian. Government entered into an engagement with her Majestys Government and with the Government of France, that on no considera tion would it ehter upon the occupation of any portion of the Ottoman territory without the consent of the Porte. Austria declared that only for the purpose of putting down an insurrection in favour of Russia in Ser via, or the invasion of Servia by a Rusei in military force, would she interfere to occupy that territory ; and al though my noble friend has referred to the protest, of the Servian Government, he must not rely, too implicitly on that, for if it had 'not been for fear Of coercion, an insurrection in favour of Russia would long since have taken place in Servia. Austria also un4ertook to sup press by her troops if .necessary any insurrection pro moted by Rusiia in MOntiinegro, and • she told us that in the event of war with: Russia 'it might _be ,neceasary, to occupy the.principalities • but that s he would not. do en without previously obtaining theconseat Of, and - only under a solemn agreement witb,.the :Porte. Theae were the conditions upon , which the treaty between Austria and the Porte was to, be based. That lieatyaVie com municated to us: about the same.day:that it was signed. We knew nothing of it before that. No instructions, therefore, were sent out to our ambassador usion' the subject. Lord Stratford, however, undoubttdly did recommend that the Porte should agree to such a treaty, and her Majesty's Gevernment approved of the advice he gave ; and if Stratford recommended the adoption of the treaty, he did so because he saw that in the preamble and in the articles it was closely connected with the proceedings that had taken place at Vienna between the representatives of France and England and the other allies of the Porte, and in accordance with the terms of the protocol, and that it contained nothing tq fetter the free action of the Sultan, or to prevent his taking what measures he pleased, either by himself or in council with his allies, for the occupation of the Principalities, or the with drawal of the Russian forces. As soon, however, as see knew the substance of the convention our language to Austria was that the occupation by her of any part of the Ottoman territory was a matter of extreme deli cacy, and that great care must be taken that every step was taken and everything done in the hame of the Sul tan and on his behalf, and that whatever measures were adop`ed in reference to such occupation must be of a temporary character. (Hear, hear.) When, at the end of June, Russia was about to occupy Bucharest, and it was known at Vienna that the Russian general was about to carry away the archives, inhabitants, and na tional militia of Wallachia, there was apprehension that anarchy would prevail in the province, because the troops were not then in a position to cross the Danube. The Austrian Government immediately communicated with ours, and sent a staff officer of Baron Hess's to the head-quarters of Marshal St. Arnaud and Lord Raglan, iu order to announce that they intended to occupy a pee-tion of Wallachia, in the name of the Sultan, with a view to the restoration of order, although they could not enter the country as a belligerent, because they had not received from Russia an answer to their demand, nor were they aware whether that power had received it. While speaking of this demand which was addressed by Austria to Russia, I may mention that it was not couched exactly in the tone which my noble friend de scribes, nor would the answer of Russia exactly tally with his description either as to matter or date. It was in the beginning of June that the Austrian note was addressed to the Russian Government, stating the evils that arose to Austria and Germany generally, from the occupation of the principalities, and requiring their im mediate evacuation. The answer of the Russian Go vernment was not an insolent rejection of that demand, but was, on the contrary, an offer to adhere to the three principal points of the protocol of Vienna. I merely mention these circumstances because my noble friend was evidently misinformed respecting them. My lords, the language we addressed to Austria was to this effect. When we heard the announcement that her forces were about to enter the Principalities, we said that, if Aus tria was going into Wallachia after it had been eva cuated by the Russians, for the purpose of proceeding thence to Moldavia to drive them out of that province, then, in our opinion, the convention would have been faithfully fulfilled, but that if she were 'merely going there to occupy the provinces on their being evacuated by the Russians, then we said she would not be war ranted in doing so, unless with the consent and at the express desire of the Porte. The reply to the Austrian Government was that they only entered in order to pre vent anarchy, and to re-establish order in the name, and on behalf of the Sultan, and that they could not ' enter as belligerents because they had n )t declared war, but that being once there, they would resist by force any attempt at returning on the part of the Russians. (Hear, hear.) The Porte replied to the application of Austria by appointieg imperial commissioners to go to the provinces to arrange all these Matters on the part of the Sultan, and to insti`ute a judicial inquiry into the conduct which had been pursued by the hospodars on the arrival of the Russian troops, and it was. to 'depend upon the result of that inquiry whether or not the hospothirs were to be reinstated in their authority. We then communicated to the Austrian and Turkish Governments our entire satisfaction at the appoint ment of the imperial commissioners. We now know that the Principalities are about to be evacuated, at least Wal lachia, because by the last accounts Prince Gortschakoff appears to have taken affectionate leave of the boyards, having first burnt and destroyed everything in their country. (Hear.) This fortunate result is certainly due to the presence of the ellied troops at Varna, and to the bravery of the Turks, but it is princip illy to be taken as a result of the position which Austria has taken up. It is now some time since we received information that the Austrian army was being concentrated in the Bukowina and North Transylvania, and that their posi tion was so threatening that they would not be able to maintain themselves in Moldavia or Wallachia, and that it was only Jester day we were informed that Prince Gortschakoff had received orders to evacuate both pro vinces. (Cheers.) lam not, my lords, going to enter into an elaborate defence of the conduct of Austria, or to pre tend to explain the motives that may have influenced the policy of that country, but I certainly see no reason to retract any opinion I may have expressed, that she would be impelled at once by her honour, her dignitv, a'.d her interest, to act in such a manner as would justify the expectations of this country. (Hear.) I entirely . agree with my noble friend that Austria, as an indepen dent power, has a right to pursue her own policy in her own way, acid that we have no right to complain if she does so. With respect to any sacrifices we may have made, I entirely deny that our policy or operations have dveniled upon Austria, or have been influenced by her. S its may not have been as rapid in her movements as we could desire, but her army was not ready, arid to equip and bring into the field an army of 300,000 was a work of some time and considerable expense. As my noble friend says, the policy of Austria must be guided by her own interests, as is that of England and France, awl let me remind the house that her interests are more com plicate' and antagonistic than those of either of the latter powers. Our views and objects, I have not the least hesitation in repeating, and I have the more satis faction in repeating them, because I know that to a very great extent they are shared by Austria —are, that the designs of Russia upon Turkey, her violation of some treaties, and misinterpretation of others, are danger ous to the tranquility of Europe. (Hear, and cheers.) We consider that the constantly increasing armaments of a despotic power have created a prestige and an in fluence for Russia in countries which neither has a right to reach, and we consider that prestige and that in fluence to be dangerous to the independence of Europe and the progress of civilisation. (Loud cheers.) Why, my lords, at this moment Russia defies England and France and Turkey in arms, and the public opinion of the world besides, and I say that the nation that can do that, or believes it can do it, possesses a power that can not be .exercised with safety to other powers, particu larly when exercised in the present case in furtherance of unjust pretensions. I say that if such a power reality isp e it l ed. must (Loud nh curtailed,esrs and.)Mybelieve if itis lords,adelusion it s a must be dthat analon e of will t hr reward e a r r d e s t u b ! e t s d w i s i i l n l I not say this , f e r f_f om rts th n e f E p n re g s l e a n n t d w a a n r d France.

(Cheers.) In bringing our armies and fleets to bear against the common enemy we have not had the same financial, and, above all, the same political, difficulties to contend with as Austria. The difficulties of Austria are principally of a German cha racter ; and, therefore, I do not think we ought to blame her for not advancing until she had herself safe, both flank and frontier. I believe she has fully succeeded in that object, and I have great satisfaction in stating to your lordships that within the last 36 hours, and consce quently since the evacuation of the Principalities was known at Vienna, notes have been exchanged between her Majesty's government and that of Austria, which will show that Austria has as little intention as ourselves of re turning to the status quo, (Cheers.) I will, just before I sit down, say a few words in reply to my noble friend's observations respecting the measures we have taken and the position in which we now stand. In the first place, I beg your lordships to recollect that on the 29th March war was declared ; a little more titan four months since, and that at that time it was the universal belief=-and when I say that, I do not speak merely of her Majesty's Government, bat of the most able and experienced mi litary officers of England and France—that Russia inc. ditated war with a view to further aggression. Nobody believed that with the great farces she had concentrated on the north of the Danube—with all the efforts she was , mul the vast oupplies . 4o-isd ecousvOrr-' . _ _ The Marquis of CLANRICARDE, in reply, quoted a note of the Austrian Government to show that it - did not demand the immediate evacuation of the Principali ties, but merely that the integrity of the Ottoman -em pire should be respected. His noble friend had inti• mated that he (Lord Clanricarde) had given information which would be useful to the enemy. It was a wonder,: . seeing that his noble friend was so sore on that point, that he had not alluded to certain letters which had been read in the other house, and which really did give infor m-tion to the enemy. He (Lord Clanricarde) had given . no information except that during eleven hours in which our ships had been cruising before Bomarsund, one ship or another was constantly aground. All that he had stated had appeared in the public papers, or had trim spired in discussions in the other house of Parliament. All, be believed, that was new to the Government was that ships were built in America, drawing only three or . four feet of water, carrying 180 tons, going at the rate be had described, and thus admirably calculated for the: navigation of the Baltic waters. That was the.whole of the information he had 'given ; but the taunt was-con stantly thrown out whenever independent members of Parliament mentioned what they thought would be of service to the country, that they were only stating that which would be of service to the enemy. The motion was then agreed to.
