To which are added, Commentaries on the Physiolocy of Marriage, with pre cautionary hints on the evils emanating from empirical practice, and on the dangerous remedies advocated by various writers on these important disorders. By SAMUEL LAISERT. M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Wernher of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Ste., &C. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have proauced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other clasi of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts 01 their physical condition, acid who are conscious of haying hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary na pe tatall man should know, that there are principles of personal manage ment which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, e nd when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the stin g of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its conseq• tences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely • aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of y 'ears been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of the: te delicate comeep la care ofhignorantints, wich have un fortunately been too generally confided to t empirie,s, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

The Earl of ABERDEEN was sorry lie could not answer the question of the noble duke, as at present there was a special form of prayer in existnce for such a pur pose, and he believed that prayer was devoutly observed throughout the kingdoin, and, under these circum stances, he did not feel - justified in advising the propo sition of the noble duke. • . One of her Majesty's Counsel. William Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh and London After sonic remarks froni Mord RODEN and Lord CAMPBELL the subject dropped. THE MILITIA BILL. A. message from the House of Commons announced that the Militia Bill had been brought up. The Duke of NEWCASTLE moved the first reading, and the second reading was fixed fur Thursday, when the standing orders will be rescinded, in order that it may pass through committee. Their lordshipa then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PETITIONS. Mr. J. O'CONNELL presented a petition from Clon mel, complaining of the inadequate spiritual provision made for the Roman Catholic soldiers and sailors serving in the East, and prayingthat steps may be taken to remove the deficiency ; Mr. SPOONER presented a pe tition from the clergy and churchwarden.; of Birming ham, praying that the Sale of Beer Bill of last session may not be disturbed. CLERGY RESERVES BILL. Sir GEORGE GREY said last night a motion was agreed to for the production of the Canada Clergy Reserves Bill, but Government had not yet received the bill, and therefore, they could not produce it. The order ought to be discharged. Th e or d er was discharged upon the understanding that there would be no objec tion to produce the bill directly it arrived from Canada. FRENCH TROOPS FOR THE EAST. Mr. MUNTZ wished to ask a question of the noble lord the President of the Council, the answer to which might influence his vote, and that of other members upon the Foreign Enlistment Bill. He wished to know whether before introducing that hill Government used all their exertions with the Emperor of the French to induce him to send out to the East an increased number of French troops at the expense of this country Lord J. RUSSELL said the Emperor of the French had at all times shown his willingness to send out troops to the East, and when the occasion arose later for an additional supply he displayed the utmost anxiety to send out as many troops as coubl be got together, and sent out as the means of transport could supply ; in point of fact the only limit to the number of troops sent out was the means of transport. (Hear.) Her Majesty's 'Government had never proposed, nor did they think it advisable to propose that this country should make any p4ment for the service of such-troops. (Cheers.) COAL MINES. Mr. HUTCHINS wished to ask the Secretary for the Home Department whether it was the intention of the Government to bring in a bill for the prevention of accidents in coal trainee at an early period of this session ? Mr. FITZROY said such a bill was in preparation, a nd would be produced shortly after the recess. THE WAR DEPARTNIgNT. • Mr. V. SMITH asked the President of the Council what steps had been taken to consolidate the depart ments of the army since the vote for a Secretary of State for the War Departine%t in the list session ; and, whe ther he would lay any official correspondence relating to the subject upon the table of the house I LOrd J. RUSSELL said the Cammissariat Depart ment had been united to the War-office, but he was not aware that any correspondence had taken place which threw an'y light upon the matter. No other change of importance had yet taken place. •SUCCES,SI6N AND LEGACY DUTIES _UPON TILE 'PROPERTY OF OFFICER — IN THE CRIMEA. r. or ing in a bill w s, non-com nt 0, who !rosie have 3 . ve , e ed E t d.

The hon. member in bringing forward the measure eulogised, in the warmest manner, the gallantry of our arms in the East, and pointing out the difficulties which the military man experienced m securing, either by insurance or other wise, a competency to those whom he might have left behind, hoped the house would show their generosity by at once acceding to his motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he should be sorry to be at issue upon any point connected with those who were now engaged in the East, but ho thought that the mode of rewarding our hrmy should be left to the Crown; and that when the Crown was found wanting in its duty, it would then be time for the house to take the matter up. In the present instance, the measure proposed was objectionable, upon the ground that it would not afford the relief sought for the relatives who most needed it ; as it was, the widow was exempted from the duty, and the child paid but 1 percent. He would take a casein point to show bow the proposed measure would act. An officer recently fell in the Crimea, and the whole of his property- went to a second cousin, and if the proposed measure was carried it would give ten times more to that relative, a comparative stranger, than. it would afford to the widow and child. After some further remarks the motion was withdrawn. PUBLIC LII3RA.RIES EXTENSION. Mr. EWART moved for leave to bring in a bill for further promoting the establishment of free public libraries in municipal towns, and fur extending it to 1 towns governed under local improvement acts, and to parishes. • PRAYER FOR THE ARMY AND NAVY. Mr. NAPIER said he had a notice on the paper for an address to her Majesty, that she will be graciously pleased to order a suitable prayer f or our ar my an d navy to be prep are d and used in public service of the United Church of England and Ireland. He under stood, however, that the subject was under the consider ation of Government, and ho nerd not therefore press it. Lord J. RUSSELL' was understood to assent to the statement of the hon. and learned member. - , . - • : ::,....„ 4 ,... .. ,1 . - t• ~ Ir., - 71' --. • - - - --7 T .. ,;:.,..'. 4 k . f .

It would appear, from what lately happened as if many persons had utterly forgotten, during the lung peace, the objects for which the wars of this country were under taken, and the mode in whiel, they had beers carried on. shall, therefore, think it expedient to call the attention to the house to that which has boon the goueral p-dicy, of thi, country in the great wars which she has carried on, au, the . manner. in which those wars have boon, in mane Instances at least, brought to a successful issue. Witt respect to the first queetiou, I should say that, if we ex amine' the history of this country, we shall perceive that the general course has been, wherever any Power has ob tained a preponderating force in Europe, and threatener the independence of smaller states, to, use the influence of this country in the first place, to use her force in the cocoon place, in order to obtain the adjustment of the balance: or, in other words, to maintain the independence el* the smaller states in Europe. (Hear.) Reference was made the other evening to the days of Elizabeth and Cromwell. I need only refer to those days to afford an illustration of the proPoeition I have laid down, because, in those days, the power of Spain having threetuned the liberties of Europe, -Elizabethe as a wise Sovereigie-eCrothwell, as a sagacious and bold ruler, ferwed an alliance with France at one time—at another time with the Dutch and other countries, in order to check that exorbitant power. Pass-' ing over the disgraceful reign of Charles the Second, we find William. 111. adopting the same policy, which, in deed, he had pursued as stadtholder of Holland, finding the power of Louis- XI V. dan,yrous to the liberties of Europe, he engaged every Power with which he could form any tie or connection in one grand alliance in order to check France. The confederacy which he formed was scarcely suited to the time ; but the then Earl of Marlborough, who obtained the confidence of the preceding Sovereign, was a worthy representative of William 111. He had the same political object in view, with greater military ability , and ho fought the cause of the liberties of Europe upon the continent. But in so doing he followed that lino of action which refers to the second question which I have raised, and which was the previous policy of England. We are, I will not say, a military nation, for that would be an untrue assertion. I believe there is no nation whose population have more of the hardy and brave qualities of soldiers than that of the united kingdom of England, Ire land, and Scotland. (Hear.) But we are not naturally military Power. It is our boast—it is our history—in our speeches and our songs, that our power chiefly dwells in our naval resourcees. (Hear.) Whenever, therefore, we have carried on a continental war for the objects I have stated, we have had recourse to other nations in order to assist us in so doing. (Hear.) Did the Earl of 'Marl borough rely upon the English alone as the force which should bb brought into the field f So far from it, that having inquired into the proportion of English soldiers who served in those g reat campaigns on the continent, and those great battles which have redounded so much to the fame of that great commander, and to the reputation of the English nation, I find that, it having been stipulate , . to carry into effect the object of the alliance, that 60,003 men should be the army under his command. And of this number not more than 40,000 were contributed by Eng land,' and of this 40,000 not snore than 18,003 were British soldiers. Ihavethelisthere—Englishtroops,lo,32B; foreign in English pay,21,672, making 40,000. The foreign troops were composed of the following nations utch, 6,136 Prussians, 2,522 ; Hessians, 3,014. Such was the composi tion of the army with which Marlborough gained his great battles. And, in the account of the life of that great man, I see that at the battle of Ramillies the Danish force was brought in at the beginning of the engagement, the Dutch at the middle, and towards the endthe English horse came up and performed great deeds of valour. Such were the notions at that day with regard to the composition of armies who fought great battles, headed by great com manders-e-battles fought in the cause of Europe—battles ending in glorious victories ; but was there then anything like a fieling that foreigners were not fit to fight by the side of Englishmen, oven for the riake'd the cause of Eu rope? (Hear.) No such feeling entered - into the minds of those great men who swayed at that time the destinies of Europe. (Cheers.) Other wars succeeded—wars, perhaps, without so great an object; but in the battles that we fought, whenever they were fought on the continent of Europe, foreigners wore employed. (Hear.) Ido not pre tend to vindicate the employment of German troops dur ing the American war. I think there was then an unjus tifiable use of foreign troops. But when wo again under took the cause of Europe—when we were of opinion that the power of France was too great for the independence of other nations—thou again we made no difficulty in having recourse to foreigners in order to fight our battles—battles, indeed, undertaken by England, but which were in effect European battles. _ In 1801, we introduced a law for the service of the German troops—what was afterwards called the German Legion—and 1 observe that though there was sense debate on that bill, no person but Sir Philip Francis and Mr. Peter Moore took part in the opposition. Mr. Fox spoke on the subject of the Hanoverian troops, but he spoke in order to impute some blame to Ur. Pitt for not ' having sent the Hanoverian troops into this country in order that they might serve the Ring Isero. , ala take part in the war. -So fax was - he from hesitating to employ them, that he, was rather in favour of employing foreigners. It is quite true that Mr. Fox, iu 1794, found fault with the introduction of foreign troops to this coun try, but tliet was because they wore introduced without the consent of Parli-tmont ; and that, having been so introduced, that force might be inert, isod to :us en limited extent, and thereby might becoam dangeiorts to thelibertios of this country. (1-fear, hear.) But what, I ask, were the deeds of the Genoa:: Legion? Why, I find them repeatedly adverted to iu the despatches °title Dike of Wellington. I will not txoub!e the house with reading extracta, but I find that at Albuera, " the conduct of the German Legion was conspicuous ;" at Salim:Luce " a yin lent charge by the heavy brigade" was commended. I be lieve it was generally admitted that the conduct of the German Legion was deserviug of the greatest praise. (Hear, hear.) lam sure everybedy will think it right to testify to the gallantry of men who fought in your cause—in the cause of Europe—and that it will not be said, because men are foreigners they ought not to be in our pay, nor to fight our battles. It was said at that time by a person of very great distinction and wit (Madame de Steel) when we were, in fact, fighting for the calmed Europe, that " the Tories of England were the Whigs of Europe." With respect to the contest in which wo are now engaged, and the employ ment of foreigners, I ask why we should tow depart from an ancient policy—from an established practice which has tended to success, and why, suddenly, we should discover that every war which we carry ou in future must be car ried on exclusively by British soldiers ? (Rear.) We are now engaged against a proponderating Power. In the p r esent case it is not t he p ower of S p ain nor the power of France, but the preponderance of Russia with which we have to contend. Butis it any reason because it is Russia, and not Spain or France, that we are not to adopt the same means as formerly, for aro wo not as likely, with the same means, to have the same success? (Hear.) I have heard it has been said, are we so soon exhausted at the be ginning of the war ?—(" hear, hear," from the Opposition) —have we not now means equal to carrying on the war with Englishmen?-.(hear, hear)—but, in fact, it is at the com mencement, of the war that the greatest pressure exists. (" Hear, hear," from the Ministerial benches.) Let us look to - the facts known to this country and to all Europe—facts wo need not hesitate to avow. Whether our military system was wise or unwise—whether the number of our troops was sufficient or insufficient—whether it was expedient to rely so much as we have done on a militia, the fact was true that we have had a very considerable re gular army—not till last year extended above 120,000 men, and these men are employed in eve r y service in which they are required over the whole face of the globe - at one time having to secure and guard 12,000 miles of frontier in India—at another to put - down a formidable insurrection in Canada—at another time spread over a vast territory, and having to struggle with savage warfare at the Cape of Good Hope • and whenever they were called u p o n to perform this duty, they were expected by the country, and justly expected, to be equal to the occasion, and to do their duty as well. (Hoar.) This certainly they h a ve done. But when you attempt to increase suddenly this 120,000 men—when you have raised them on paper to 170,000, but in effect to only 150,000, can you expect that that number can furuish regiment after regiment, and army after,army, without any extraneous assistance or sup port? It was said the other day, by my right hon. friend the Secretary at War, that we had sent to the East 53,000 men. That appeared to the house a very considerable num ber ; but the enemy with whom we have to contend looks, upon 53,000 men only as one of his corps d'arinee, and I have no doubt he has 16 or 18 of such corps d'arirtee, with which he can oppose us on different parts of his frontier. Let us next consider what points we have to guard We have to sward Turkey at various points in the principali ties. We have to guard Turkey against a menacing force in the Crimea, and from that which would be a perpetual threat, menacing the very existence of her capital and em pire—the fortress of Sebastopol. But, thirdly, it is neces sary to see that there is a sufficient force on the Asiatic frontier of Turkey, so that, while provision is made for her defence in the Crimea and in the principalities, she may be adequately defeeded at her Asiatic side. Well, but if.you say you will have none but British regiments, and that, for the first timesince the history of the country, you will rely upon British regiments alone, you run the greatest danger while you are recruitiee the regiments, by sending out yowl:, men before they a;, properly trained, and exposing them to destruction, beater:el of -enabling them to act with that vigour and force which always distinguishes the assaults disciplined and experienced troops. I remember when of disci I took a ride with the Duke of Wellington for 10 miles through his head-quarters, to have seen the 10th Hessen just come out to the Peninsula. Tho men seemed well ap pointed ; they executed their movements with rapidity and precision, and I, as an ignorant civilian, could not but be struck by their effective appearance ; but I remember the duke saying, when I met bins afterwards at dinner, " that regiment we saw to-day will at the end of the year be a very goo d re giment," thus showing his opinion that a con siderable, training in the field was also required to make good soldiers. Well, - sir, it is proposed by this bill to,en able the Crown s have a certain number of foreign troops, of whom. a part shall be trai led iu this country. That number will not exceed 10,000, hut they will form the means of o btaining, a larger force, and that force can be used in the field to assist British troops in preference, not to raising recruits, but to sending out now legions not suf ficiently trained to war. I may be told that this is a de grading practice, and that we should not have foreigners in our army , but when this is said, I must appe a l t o th a t great authority to whom I have already referred. The Duke of Wellington , when speeking on the regent militia bill, sa id—" Everything has its beginning, and this is a commencement of an orgtitiaatien of a disciplined militia ; in the Salio way as if you were to have a corps of reserve, you mast have a commencement, involving mue months for disciplining thous before you could have your corps of reserve ready. You must make a beginning ben), and see that it will take seine months before you can forums re serve regiments. The armies of England, who have served esthountry so well, are your lordships so mis take, as suppose that they were ever composed of than one-third of real British subjects—of na- MOTO of this island . No such thing. Look to all your t grea ives t . service s. Look at the East Indies. Not more than one-third of the soldiers there are such British soldiers. Look at the Peninsula ; not one-third of the men em , ther e, were ever British soldiers. Yet I beg your lu soraships to observ e what services those soldiers performed. wt. r A • 0 r i z Stt • - e • t — f•- • smith' get la which tie have loos avoid (a total - _ ttittiee, rinhaVe eat hod thee to prepare antli ANII & oiaet nuinber of Aotiva trouPP, "le as to opahla yeti tee k pense with this first beggarly instalment oflo,ooo foreign - - -I energy and , ers, surely you must have been wilfully blind to the neces sities of your position, and have shown a want of that promptitude which were never more essential than at the present moment.

It does seem to me strange - that these professed warriors, who are represented as•heisig so much snperior to ourselves in the habits and dise;pline of war, are still to be imported into this country to finish their military edue cation upon English ground. (Hear. hear.) Why, as it has been very pertinently stated, this is not the shortest road to the Crimea. Let the supp os e for s.moment that you really want these incr.

There would be Oda advantage , in it , - Q —n: , Pose thet Ministers have reasons, which they do not impart to this house for drawin , these men from certain quarters whi c h are not distinctly stated—(cheers) —I say, if that be .so, you ought, to act upon your own responsi bility, aul according to the prerogative of the Crown; because, by so doing, you would at, least neither exhibit • to the people the spectacle of foreign troops upon Bnglibh ground, which is always so intelei eble to national feelings, nor would you call upon the House Of Cct,rainons, for reasons which aro not plainly stated, and which we tlo , of a free people. (Cheers.) Let es just look—for it is not understand, to sanction a degr a d a tion to the spirit necessary—at the slovenly mode which this bill ap pears to have been devised and prep are d. (Hear.) The ti l li ou o g f ht t t h h e at b t i lt il es c e a f u o s r e e d igt a ars wer e i n tended universal alarm fibeerstauttriod it was ue supplyta honour abroad, the p likewise but n o not o l y o o f f tthhee dede defendersfenr of Eugland'a a a England's security at home. That was indigna ntl y de nied. In spite of that denial, the Minister who was charged with the in quarters to my great surpri.se, that s uc h au t fr r o o m duc ee t v io e a ral of the bill rose in his place a nd said, " I he a r erroneous impression prevails out of doors ," and what did he then do? Why, he condescended to look into his o wn bill, and at last he was brought to confess that, by the wording of it, it might be perverted to such tt yurpose. The wording of it ! Why, in the wording of a bill which se involves suet' delicate questions, and touching so closely upon the keystone of all free, institutions, surely there might be a sufficient degree of attention given to insure that not a phrase would be used which a people jealous of freedom might misinterpret,, or which might be perverted hereafter by a Minister, foreleugerous purposes, into apre cedent that real y would jeopardise.the liberCesef England and disturb th e t r anquillity of her people. (Ch eers. ) Let us look now to the amount of force required. Why, there was so little calculation with respect to a measure which you can only excuse upon the ground of neceseite that it seems to be a matter of perfect indifference to Ministers whether the number' of men be 10,000 or 15,000. (Cheers.) At once - the former number is substituted for the latter ; and in connection with a bill which you tell us is the main reason why we were summoned together—a bill which you , had ample time to prep:ire—a bills which involves the most momentous constitution al principles—you have exhibited all this careless indecision as to the precise amount of force you require. (Oboe rs.) But I must say I doubt your prudence still more i u that, for the sake of an object so insignificant as yours really is—because it is only a pro vision for the landing and drilling in this country of a certain number of foreign.' troops—you insist, while telling us truly of the advantage of unanimity, upon forcing a measure,which you must ha ve foresee would be most unpopular out of doors, which been blind indeed not to . does necessitate the strongest opposition, which you have only carried by a pitiful majority through one house of Parliament, anti which, if you do carry it through the other, will, I believe, prove such a thorn in your sides that I venture to doubt if you will have the courage to use the powers which you now ask. (Cheers.) So little did the Minister who introduced this measure appreciate the g reat constitutional principles which are involved in it that he prefaced the bill by observing that power to enlist and t 3 land foreign troops bad been 'in former times generally emceied to be a rig's treated in the,Crown ; and he seemed to think that the question was only settled by a bill at the end of last century. I ant sure the Lord President of the Council, if ho had converetal on the subject with the Minister of War, would have warmly denied that our great constitutional authorities ever did concede that such a power was at any time vested iu the Sovereign of this country. (Heir.) We all remember that William 111., to whom the noble lord has referred, sent a message to this house requesting in very humble terms that his Dutch troops might be allowed to remain, but we all know that the House of Commons refused the request. (Cheers) It may be said that was a time of peace; yet we also know that it was laid down by ono of the greatest of our consti tutional lawyers—Lord Camden that neither in peace nor iu war, nor at any period of our history, could foreign troops be admitted into this country without the sanction of au act of Parliament ; and well I remember that Mr. Fox said if such a power did exist then we have a consti tution in words and not in reality. I could conceive the indignation with whish the Whigs of the last age would have heard such a remark enenating from a Minister of War sitting in the same Cabinet with the leader of the Whigs of the present day. ((Leers) Bat I readily grant that • you have now cleared the bill of any obnoxious clause, so far as that is concerned. Ido not desire any t kind of exaggeration. (A. laugh.) I admit that you have cemplital with constitutional forms ; but what I say is that, while you rigidly adhere to constitutional forms, you ought not to do anything so hostile to the spirit of the constitution as the introducticn of foreign troops into this coon ry, .unless yon can estal, iih precedents of precisely parallel cases--(bear, ticar)—or.uult:s.s you can stake out a plea of paramount and urgent ii:xessity. (Cheers.) Now, with respect to the precedents upon which the noble lord seams to rely, I may say in th., Erst place that I am al most ashamed to go over ground uhf h must be to familiar to every gentleman in this house. I am almost ashamed to state, whet every one must alrezely know, that the fo reign enlistment bills of 1801 and 1803 are thoroughly in applicable to the present measure. (Hear, hear.) The sovereign of this country was not only Kiug of England, he was also Elector of Hanover. Besit'es, his interests and ours were closely identified with those of the great German powers, except Prussia, which, at that time, shackled by her guilty complicity in the partition of Poland, and blinded by a hope of obtaining Hanover as the reward of her neutrality, did in the opinion of ail dispassionate his torians by her inert and selfish procrastination paralyse the armies of the other allies, and so gave an immense ad- z //r4--i/d [PRICE SD. They fought great battles against the finest soldiers in the world ; they went prepared to face everything—ay, and to be successful against everything, or this country would not have borne with them. Not one-third of those armies were British troops, but they were brave troops, and net merely brave —for I believe every man is brave—but well-organised troops. Take the battle of Waterloo; look at the number af British troops at that battle. I can tell your lordships that iu that battle there were 1G battalions of Hanoverian militia, just formica, under the command of it nobleman, late the Hanoverian atnbassador here, Count Kiel inansf r eege, .vho behaved most admirably; and there wore many other :creis,i troops who nobly aided us in that battle; avowedly the battle of gients, whose operations helped to bring about ;he victory which area followed by the peace of Europe, that has now lasted for 32 urn years. I say, nay lords, that 'iowever much I admire highlyeliseiplined troops, and most especially -British-disciplined troops, I tell you. you must set suppose that others cannot become so too." Such is the testimony of the Duke of Wellington ; and you cannot have any higher testimony with regardto the troops which • 'le cammarele I, and the services which they performed. ;Hear.) And am Ito be told that it is a degradation and disgrace to do what the Dnko of Wellington has done ? :Hear.) But I conic now to the objections which have been nade to the bill. The first objection has been dispelled by A mere statement of facts. It has been said that this is an unconstitutional employment of foreigners; and that they Are to perform the duty of troops in this country. The answer to that statement, on the part of the Ministry, was that no intention existed to employ foreign troops at home —that they were merely to come to this country for drill ing and training; that they wore not to be employed for any of the purposes for which British regular troops or the militia were used ; and that this would be made plain in the bill. It has been made plain in the bill, and no one can say. that these troops are to be employed for anything else. It is also said, • Don't let them offend our eyes by being here ; let them go to Corfu and be trained there ;" but think when it is remembered that some 30,000 Germans pass through this country annually, it would be a great discouragement to them to tell them to go to Corfu, there to be prepared to fight our battles. And then to tell men that you will bo offended at the sight of them is really such an insult that I cannot think this -house will be prepared to sanction it. Well, then, we are told, after these ad captandum, arguments have been swept away, that they will not be fighting like the Hanoverians, And other troops employed during the late great war, in their own cause or in the cause of their Sovereign, but that they will be hirelings and mercenaries. (Haar, hear.) But, sir, I say that if you use such arguments, you give up the satire cause of the war. You say that you are not engaged in a purely British war, but that you are fighting for the cause of Europe. That which I have always urged in the house is, that we are engaged in a great European quarrel for the sake of the liberties of Europe. It is a quarrel in which France and England have had the manliness to come forward and say, " We are not afraid of this overgrown power of Russia—we will not be. cajoled by Russia—and we will fight this European battle." We have said that it is not purely an English and French question, but that. it is a cause in which every German or Swiss subject should take as great an interest in as either England or France. But, sir, what were the names of the legions which were employed during the last war. There was Watville's Re giment, the Rohan Hussars, the Dames Hussars, the Loyal Emigrants, the Loyal Foreigners, the Walstein Infantry, the Dutch Artillery, and several others. They were all paid by us during the late war, and this is equally a cause in which men of every European State can take a part. And, although some of the Sovereigns of the great States of Europe have, I regret to state, hesitated, and left us to bear the brunt of the battle they ought to have fought along with us , still that is no reason why their sub jects should not take part with us, and enter into the ser vice of her Majesty to fight our battles in the general cause not only of European- liberty, but of European civili sation. (Hear, hear.) Another argument has been used against the bill, and that is—that the service will be so degraded that officers will hardly consent to command it, as they are not serving under their immediate Sovereign or engaged by his especial orders; and yet, sir, some of the men whom you have employed to fight your battles have not disdained such service. Sir Da Lacy Evans—(cheers)- -whose name is respected by every one, and whose name has been mentioned by the right lion. gentleman oppOsite, and whom wo hope soon to see restored to health, and at tending to receive from you, sir, the thanks of the house for his gallant conduct, did cot scruple to go to the aid of our Allies, and head a band of " foreign mercenaries." (Hear, hoar.) Another gallant officer—Sir CharlesNapior —was engaged in the service of the Queen of Portugal when his country was not at war with Portugal. (Hear, hear.) I have now, sir, I believe, touched upon the prin cipal objections urged against the bill ; but I may be asked why is it necessary in order to the carrying on of the war? will answer to that, that if you thought it advisable utterly to drain your population, and by giving bounties 'f 331. to SW. a-heal to eat mini, you would then have to send them out without training and experience, but yet you might have a sufficient number to carry on the war for the present. But lam looking to the necessity of a pro tracted war. I am looking to the policy which this country ought to pursue on such au occasion, and in that case, sup posing you have 150,000 or 180,003 British soldiers, I say there will be a great advantage in having 30,000 foreign ,troops to aid that force,aud that if you should have 200,000 Iritish troops, you may extend your foreign force to 40,000. A.nd I say also it is a great misrepresentation to say that,if you have 200,000 British, soldiers, which you will have in a couple of years, and 40,003 areign soldiers, that you are relying solely upon foreign swords, and that you can resort to those apt quotations in p ietry and prose which cast r‘ brand upon tile nation that relies upon foreign support. (Hear, hear.) I say, although you are a military nation you are not a military power. (fleer, hear.) Is ty that, you were to change the policy approved by Crom well and Chatham, by Marlborough and Wellington—a policy which has c irried you throtigh many a European struggle in triumph—that, whatever difficulties you might have during war, you would have much greater difficulties in time of peace. It may be that the military force of the country i. not sufficient, yet peace will hardly be two years restored when, if you attempt to keep up a great military force, you will find popular feeling so much op posed to it that you will be obliged to renounce it. (Hear.) Well, sir, if you are not about to adopt now principles and new maxims, I ask you to rely upon the old principles and the old maxims, and to employ, in addition to the 200,000 British soldiers which you will have in a couple of years, a certain number of foreign troops, who will stand by your side and fight your battles with you. The Duke of Wel lington has borne testimony to the value of such troops, and we have also the example of Marlborough to guide us. As her Majesty's Ministers have advisel this means of carrying on the war, they cannot, of course, attempt, with the loss of the confidence of the house, to undertake the further conduct of the war.. It is one of the measures which they think necessary in the present state of the war —in the commencement of the war—to carry it on to a vigorous and successful termination. It is one of the pur poses for which they advised her Majesty to call Parlia ment together, and they believe that, if the bill is adopted, it will prove a useful addition to our means of defence. I am, sir—l am surprised that any one could have imputed to the Ministry which sent a British army into a country where they had to contend with such masses of the enemy, and to maintain themselves there, as they showed they could do at Inkerman, that they had any distrust of the British.army. (Hear.) We wish to carry on this war ef fectually, and any way by which the power of Russia can bo crippled, and her advances checked, appears to me to be a mode which the house ought to adopt. There is, I believe, many a man in that army who would say with one whom the Spaniards called " the Great Commander," "I would rather take one step forward if it led to the grave than take a step backwards if it led to safety." Give them, I say, every support you can, and pass this measure, which her Majesty's Ministers believe will tomtit° a glorious ter mination of the war. I beg, air, to move that the bill be now read a second time. (Hear.) Sir E. BULWER LYTTON then said—l trust, sir, that neither I, nor any gentlemen on this side, nor, indeed, upon either side of the house, need express our readiness to support the Government in the resolute prosecution of a war which is not only undirtaken for Europe, but with which we believe that the honour of England and civilisa tion itself are identified. Bat if the honour of England is pledged to this quarrel, then we are not willing that now, at the very outset of it, foreign nations and posterity should receive our confession that oar native spirit and even our military training are not competent to encounter it. Before I proceed to the historical. question'on which the noble lord has dwelt, let us look only to the present war. In this war, at least, wo may say that, up to the present moment, we have sufficed to tight our own battles and earn our own laurels, and I have not heard from the noble lord one adequate reason why we should in future prefer to win our battles by proxy. Honour is not so in tolerable a burden that we should engage foreign soldiers to relieve our own army from a part of the weight. What is it, I would ask, upon which we rely in order to continue , this war with vigour, no matter with what sacrifice ' or at what cost ? Why it is -not upon the extent of ourterri tory, not upon the amount of our population, not even upon our wealth, or the greatness of our resources, but it is upon that spirit of nationality which the Minister-of- War told us the other night rose against every danger and increased in augmented proportion to the demand upon it. Well, I say it is that ardour you are now about to damp—it is that spirit of nationality which this bill will discourage. - Is it not really absurd to tell us that it is the commencement of the war which is the period of difficulty and trial in the midst of that popular enthusiasm which has now risen to such a height that, as the Secretary-at-War informed us the other night, recruits came in faster than he knew how to form them into regiments ? When you tell us that the ardour of our own people is not sufficient for your purpose, - but that you mast go begging to all the petty principalities of, Europe for the co-operation of their more skilful soldiers, you give an unwise and an alto gether unnecessary blow to the vital principle that sustains our cause, and that brings to our army more men than the Secretary-at-War knows how to employ. (Cheers.) If any thing could make the war unpopular in England, it would be the sight of foreign troops drilled and quaff tered in this country, paid from taxes extorted from th e psople,an d lodge.' in barracks, the paucityof wh ich y ou have made an excuse for not embodying a sufficient number of our p or e natives.

(Cheers.) What are the reasons assigned for the introduction of this measure ? The first reason given by the noble lord appears to be sim ply thisim—whatever form them people, ntplei,so warlike airtrkee gnu)e t saysa .weSaurrea engaged th a a g t e d statement what t w r i o l o l ps. probablyTe nhoebal eprotracted rwew foresight. upon. had t been e nf during f Government oreentbhye for alll s, months implieshei their w a a i ll n t7 w e o h r f y i a h r ct p a i r v y o i e t t r y c a e e a n to n s i England except. its chief minister, and during the nine vantage to the common foe—that gigantic power of which Prussia was afterwards the most unfortunate victim: I hope that Prussia is wiser now. ((:beers.) I hope that she will not venture to arouse other and still nobler confe deracies by her traitorous diplomacy, nor cripple their . energies by her dishonest lethargy, and require, perhaps, at the last the assistance of their armies to save herself from the ruin in which her selfish policy nearly involved her very existence as a nation, At that time tie intro duction of Germari troops into this country was perfectly. natural ; but let us see what was said by the principal prisons who took part in the debates which then occurred. One of the most -a War,Thceelesbe in reply to -omr, th e r e a r tet etr l a wa t s t hir r , , , Philip Francis.

(Cheers.) It is true that net only Hanoverians but Germans were enlisted, but they were subjects of those German powers whose sympa thies and interests were closely identified with ours, and sure if t w he e proud la nd can a happy s were to have an alliance with the great German p ow e r s in house s e that were I pursuingw o would b e the e same ein g l o y bject the present war, but who can say that it is not at least premature to take it for granted that they have precisely the same interests and objects as ourselves. (Hear, hear.) But the noble lor d has g one back to the time of Marl borough, and has said t hat in all former wars forei g n troo p s were e mployed. Yes, but whenever they were employed 'with honour they were the auxiliaries of our open allies, and were officered by the rank, the chivalry, and the mili tary renown of nations that had the closest sympathies with ourselves. (Cheers.) Did the noble lord really refer to that speech of the Duke of Wellington in the hope that, as an extraordinary feat of tactics, he could induce us to believe that when the Duke of Wellington said that only one-third of his army was British, the rest of the army was composed of mercenary troops? Who does not know that they were Portuguese and Spaniards fighting for their own independence ? (Cheers.) Great stress had been laid, and deservedly so, upon the obligations which the gallant Ger man Legion conferred on the British army. I grant these obligations most fully. I have heard great military autho rities say that those accomplished officers who were to be found in the German Legion first taught our cavalry how to charge, and when to pull up. But since then times have changed. Will any man say that German officers could have improved that splendid charge of the ScotiliGreys and Eaniskllleners at Balaklava, or the wondrous gallantry of the light brigade ? (Cheers.) lam thankful that we have learnt lessons from Germany in the arts of war, and that we have known how to pro:it by them. I think, also, Ger many in the arts of peace. There is no cultivato r that we have learnt lessons scarcely leas valuable from Geof ter: rature or science but who must look with gra9 h but if it I will say nothing about, it at prescnt—but ) that great Lion at that great people. Ac to the alliance with uAustria does lead to a genuine anl binding alliance_ with that did not power, we should be madmen in i o 3 leed , if cause 500,000 men, and whic • h might even be your and that, by be sincere, for the strongest guarantee, supposing it . to . secure maintenance of that territorial ought glad to learn that Prussia follows the praiseworthy, b u t to be the basis of any future peace. I should be her the selfish and dis honest prospective, reeieceri ty, honest policy which characterised her during a portion of the French war. Between ourselves and the wh o l e of the example of o a f to A ne us f t o ri r a German people there is so close an afinity of rac e , of com mercial interests, and of all that belongs to intellectual in• terchange, that I should consider it as something mon strous—as something out of the ordinary course—if Prus sia, descending from that front among the nations to which she was raised by the genius of Frederick the Great, were to refuse her co-operation in rolling back from the frontiers of civilised Europe tho advancing tide of Russian barbarism. (Cheers.) But if we are to have an alliance with the great German people, in Heaven's name let it, be in a way that is worthy of them and us. Let us have nations openly for our Allies and not the scum of the earth. (Cheels.) But the noble lord must permit me now to ask where are these foi -'len soldiers t o come from ? We have h ear d a great deal of their excellence, but nothieg.of their parentage; a nd yet I think it is import ant we shoal t ktow where Ministers expect to get their 1 0 ,000 trained soldiers ready for the field. The laudwehr of G erw ,, ny have acquired reining more than the mere holiday art of war. I do not remember any recent war in Europe in which they were likely to have acquired great experience, or to have exhibited their military prowess. So much has been said in praise of these wonderful fo reigners, in comparison with our poor countrymen, that ono is almost tempted to believe that they are the iden tical Ten Thousand who accomplished the retreat of Xenophon, and not merely men who have seen more of actual danger and actual service than the stout peasantry whom you enlist in your own militia regiments. (Cheers.) It has been sought—not by Ministers, but by their friends out of doors—to leek() the bill Inoro popular by announcing that the ulterior object is to enlist men who !that be actuated by nobler motives than ordinary soldiers—that is, exiled Poles and other unfortunate refugees.

Lord J. RUSSELL submitted to the hon. and gallant member that any proposition ought to come from the CI own. The whole question of rewards to the army and navy was under c o nsideration, and it would be pre mature to adopt such a m otion as this. Mr. H. HERBERT expressed a hope that no delay would. take place in the issue t)f medals for the Battle of the Alma. Mr. S. HERBERT sail tbo die of such a medal had been cast, and no time %could be lost in sending out impressions to the Crimea so soon as they could be cast. Sir J.
