Octavius says . 1 He is a tried and valiant soldier. To which Antony replies : So is my horse, Octavius ; and for that I do appoint him store of provender— It is a creature that I teach to fight, To wind, to stop, to run directly on ; His corporal motion governed by my spirit. And in some taste is Lepidus but so ; He must be taught, and trained, and bid go forth ; A barren-spirited fellow ; one that feeds On objects, arts, and imitations, Which, out of use, and staled•by other men, Begin his fashion. Do not talk of him But as a property. (Laughter.) Since that celebrated conversation of that triumvirate, and which occurredvhen they were dividing the world between them, he found no parallel to this Imperial Anthony, thus unbosom* himself to Sir Octavius Hamilton. (Great laughter.) The moment the .first Rus sian soldier crossed the Pruth, there was no alternative between absolute concession to Russia Or war; _atid the Government ought to have acted . accordingly. He (Lord Derby) confessed it was not without considerable uneasi ness that he found this country embarked in thislormi dable war. He gave every credit' to • the' Government for their confidence in the good understanding that now happily existed with France. (Loud cheers: a ad mitted that when it was thought, and wisely thought necessary, to increase our naval and military forces, and to make preparations for the defence of the country, there might have been a doubt not of the intentions of the man who had rescued France from a state of anarchy, but owing to the unsettled and tumultuous state of France the almost impossibility of its being in the power of any mind, however able, to re-unite and calm down all parties, and extinguish in the minds of Frenchmen that which was their strangest, pea' Bien, a thirst for military glory and military power, there might have been a doubt with regard to our relations with France. He (Lord Derby) looked with anxiety at the war on which we were now entering. Not that he doubted the readiness of his countrymen to endure the sacrifice* which they would be called on to make, or that, withotit any blind enthusiasm, he did not share in the feeling that the cause for which we were entering on war was just ; but because he felt that this must be a lengthened struggle, even though it should eventually be crowned with success, and because he believed that our financial arrangements were not such as to place the country in an advantageous position.. He could not forget that last year, - nfter war was known to be imminent, that in spite of repeated warnings, a scheme of finance had been ventured on, and which was applauded by the noble earl at the head of the Government, and held up as an example worthy to be followed by all future Chancellors tof the Exchequer. It was n o t w ith ou t cons id era bl e uneas i ness, then, that he now found th e coun t ry em b ar k e d in this war ; not that he doubted the willingness of the people to bear the sacrifices consider desired. ourß Revenue that would b e required from them, but because he did not v fi e n n a u n e c h ia ad financial pa n itio v n elun so ta t y as tb Ex chequer balances were gone, and the income tax had been d b o e u f b o l u e n d Under a. impracticable these t o pa y circumstances thecurre h n e t feared of f o t ul h d e war without changing our present sy s t em o f currency. He was glad to hear that no claim wou ld b e made to a protec torate over Turkey ; but it was not unreasonable that when we were on the verge and threshold of war, it should be known to what we had pledged ourselves, and for the maintenance of what it was that we were about to shed some of the best blood, and expend a large amount of the treasure of the country ; nor was it unreasonable that we should ask what objects were to be accomplished before the war could be brought to an honourable conclu sion. He joined cordially with the Government in the terms, language, and spirit of the address, and he felt with the noble earl that we might look with more hope, and less in that spirit of blasphemy which characterised the lan guage of the Emperor of Russia, in a humble confidence of having done all in our power to avert the horrors of war, but having failed in our endeavours in consequence of the unjustifiable pretensions of Russia, and having entered on the war with no motives of aggrandisement but with the intention of securing the weak and the oppressed against future aggression, we might, he said, look with humble confidence and hope for the protection of that Great Power which holds in its hands the destinies of kings and na tions, and as the arms of England bad never been employed in a more honourable cause, so he trusted that the war would come to such a conclusion as to prove that none of her triumphs were ever more decided or more glorious. The Earl of ABERDEEN—Your lordships have now had an opportunity of judging of the nature of that sup port which the noble earl, in a fit of patriotism, thinks proper on this occasion, and on this occasion only, to afford to her Majesty's Government. (Hear, hear.) But, my lords, I presume we must be grateful for what we have received, though I trust the support we shall obtain from Parliament generally and the country will be of a more cordial character. (Hear, hear.) Tho noble earl has de voted a large portion of his speech to what may be called a personal attack on myself and the transactions in which I have been engaged. Before, however, I proceed to take notice of that, I will freely admit to the noble earl that I am one of those who, he said, had hoped against hope, and that down to the very last moment I did not altogether abandon the hope that that greatest of all blessings which a nation can enjoy —peace—might be preserved to us. (Cheers.) And, my lords, I think if it were necessary I could give very good reasons for the hope which I entertained, but the subject has been so much dis cussed, and this topic has been so much exhausted, that I feel I should only weary your lordships were I to explain to you those motives which induced me to entertain the belief that war would yet be avoided, especially.seeieg that there is the less necessity for me to do so, inasmuch as those expectations have been proved in the result to be fallacious. (Hear.) The noble earl, in the first place, I think, stated that he was persuaded that the war in which ' we are now engaging—which he admitted the justice of, much as it was to be lamented—that that war would not have taken place, if I had not had the misfortune to be at the head of the Government ; and, my lords, the noble earl, in proof of that assertion, referred to a speech made by the Emperor of Russia to the British Minister at St. Petersburg, in which his Majesty was pleased to express an opinion favourable to myself personally, and alluded to the long acquaintance which he was pleased to recol lect he had had with me. (Hear, hear.) Now, my lords, I cannot of course but feel highly flattered by the good opinion entertained of me by any sovereign who is in alliance with our own Queen—and that was the condition in which the Emperor of Russia stood at that time. And while I see nothing to be ashamed of in the good opinion expressed on behalf of so humble an individual as myself by any sovereign in alliance with her Majesty, I may at the same time congratulate the noble earl that he too has not been altogether without the compliments of foreign powers ; for, if I recollect rightly, the instant almost that he suc ceeded to the head of affairs in this country, it so happened that the Austrian Government wrote to congratulate hint and his government on their accession to office, and the noble earl, who was then Secretary of State replied, in a despatch full of gratitude for the honour. And from whom was this congratu lation ? From the only minister whom I ever recollect in Austria as the most bitter enemy of the English nation— Prince Schwartzenberg—who, beyond any other person I believe in the Austrian dominion, was entitled to that die tinction. Now, my lords, I have received no congratula tions from Austria, though I have been long engaged in negotiations with that Government, and though I have been branded in this house, I believe, and in the country, as a pupil of the detested Metternich—(" Hear, hear," and a laugh) —still no congratulations reached me from that quar ter ; and I am ashamed almost to say that when I received the congratulations of his Imperial Majesty through Sir Hamilton Seymour—l am ashamed to say they were received without any notice on my part, and without any expres sion of that profound sense of gratitude which, under similar circumstances, influenced the noble earl. (Cheers, and laugh ter.) The noble earl then repeated its history, and said he regarded it with satisfaction, because it wished nothing to be done with regard to Turkey without the consent of the other Powers. Always supposing that the Emperor's apprehen sions were well founded as to the speedy dissolution of the Turkish empire, and that ho was sincere in the views he ex pressed. I think the memorandum was modest and gracious. (Cheers.) Some parts of it in particular contained views which it must be admitted were honourable and wise, and such as, should the necessity arise, it would be well to act on. For instance, all that (part relating to interference with the Christian subjects of the Porte, and in fact as regards the whole, I see nothing in it to object to, and I am perfectly ready to subscribe to the contents of this paper at this day. It is a very common notion, I believe (and the noble earl has given currency to it), that this is a deep-laid scheme of the Emperor of Russia's, and that the apprehended dissolution of s to the Turkish emenpira ge us in the e was a me re p re t ex t o f hi s, pu t f orwar d as a mean g Partitioning of Turkey which, under that pretext, it was proposed to bring out. I think my noble friend behind me has said that this apprehension of the dissolution of the Turkish empire is no novel idea. True it is of no recent date. It did not•even originate in the year 1844, nor was it confined to the Emperor of Russia. In the year 1829 the Emperor entertained that apprehension, and I may add that I entertained it so far back myself. With regard to many of the noble earl's observations upon this memorandum, and upon the understanding, as he seems to think it, existing between some members of the Government and the Emperor of Russia, I think I have had the benefit of reading them be fore. Nay, I should not be very much surprised if at this moment they were being read in another place. I allude to what has appeared in a publication which is supposed to enjoy a position of great authority with the noble earl's friends, and which at all events is so remarkable for its malignity and mis representation, that it is not perhaps very difficult to guess at the origin of the article to which I am about to refer. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) I will just make one or two observations as to the contents of the last number of the Press—what is there stated, with respect to this memorandum, which is the grand cheval de battaille of the noble lord, but which appears to me to be altogether a mare's nest. (Cheers, laughter, and " Oh, oh.") The article commences with a falsehood, which is of course to be expected. (" Hear, hear," and " Oh.") it says—" In the year 1844 the Emperor of Russia visited our country. An estrangement having then taken place between England and France, his Majesty emed the season appr o P7 ate for the advancement of a long-cherished project, a nd he With the seized the opportunity of personally accomplishing it, co-operation of an English minister, between whom of Court of St. Petersburg there had existed for 30 years relationsthen extreme confidence. That minister WaS Lord Aberdeen," Now the Wi au t d the Sec retaryisunderstand- of State in the government of Sir R. PeeL false hood I refer to is that there was the slightest gla ta n t d an t d F t ra h nee. ing or estrangement at that time between En s d o— o eee lebrated Tahiti affair, which occurred in 1344. Your lordships I think I know, however, what is here allud - will recollect that a difference arose P i duringthat year about both at this country and Tahiti, which was certain transactions that took -laCo .. fe olls 111 i ts character. gitly exaggerated by the pre s s France, but still was sufficiently se r ious Un fortunately, however, for th e accuracy of this writer the Em peror of Russia came here in the first week of Jun e , w h e reas our first intelligence of the Tahiti affair was not received un till the first week of August. The estra ngemen t , th ere f ore , with France could n ot possibly have instigated the Emperor of Russia to make this communication. (Hear.) That this memorandum is said to have been drawn up by Count Nessel rode and transmitted to Baron Brunow, from St. Petersburg, accompanie d by a private letter from the Emperor to Lord Aberdeen, i n which he begged th a t if an y i n accuracy were found n' the document it might be corrected ; but that, if a rov e d, the memoraudum should be accepted and pre iend serve d a s " tho key of the relations between Russia and E ng l a nd." Now, my lords, I can only say I know of no such letter, and I think my imperial and royal correspond ence is not so very extensive, but that I must have re collected it if I had received such a letter—(hear, hear, hear)—but I have not the slightest recollection of any thing of the sort. This article, my lords, goes on to say : —" The Emp eror succ eeded in his first object.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. degree of vitality which its internal constitution may retain the Emperor will readily agree that the best means of up holding the duration of the Turkish Government is not to harrass it by overbearing demands, supported in a manner humiliating to its independence and its dignity. (Loud cries of '• Hear, hear.") His Majesty is disposed, as he has ever been, to act upon this system, with the clear understanding, however, that the same rule of conduct shall be observed, without distinction and unanimously, by each of the great Powers, and that none of them shall take advantage of the weakness of the Porte to obtain from it concessions which might turn to the prejudice of the others. (Hear, hear.) This principle being laid down, the Emperor declares that he is ready to labour, in concert with England, at the common work of prolonging the existence of the Turkish empire, set ting aside all cause of alarm on the subject of its dissolution. He readily accepts the evidence offered by the British Cabinet of entire confidence in the uprightness of his sentiments, and the hope that, on this basis, his alliance with England cannot fail to become stronger." (Hear, hear.) Now, my lords, this was on the 15th of April, and is the result and conclusion of a correspondence begun apparently with very different feelings on the part of the Emperor of Russia from those which he new entertains ; and, unless we are to proceed upon a general system of disbelief and suspicion in the honour and rectitude of persons in high quarters—if at the end of April last, and before the real nature of Prince Alenschikoff's mission was known, I had been enabled to lay this memorandum on your lordships' table, I think your lordships would have felt, as her Ma jesty's Government felt at that time, that Turkey was safe from the dangers in which she was soon after involved. (Hear.) These dangers are of a very clear and substantial nature. The Emperor of Russia endeavoured by treaties, or by engagements which should have the force of treaties, to obtain that right of interference between the Sultan and many millions of his subjects which would have ex tended not only to a virtual protectorate, but have con ferred actual government upon bim. Had the Sultan entered into the engagements which were required from: him, no question, however small and however trifling, connected with the control of the affairs of the Greek subjects of the Sultan could have arisen which would not have had to be determined by the Russian am bassador at Constantinople. (Hear, hear.) We should then have seen the enlightenment, the intelligence, and the progress of the Greek subjects of Turkey, as well as the free exercise of their religion, brought down to the same low level as those of the subjects of the Emperor of Russia, and any demur upon the part of the Sultan to submit to the government of the Russian ambassador would have been an infraction of treaty and a legitimate cause of quarrel. (Hear.) Under these circumstances, my lords, Russia would have been enabled at any moment, and upon any pretext, with her powerful fleet in the Black Sea, to render herself mistress of Constantinople. I need not waste your lordships' time by any comments upon the effect of such an event as that occurring. We should have found in such a case, to our cost and to our disgrace, that the maintenance of the Ottoman empire, which is a matter of European necessity, was nothing more than a vague and unmeaning term. And I must say, my lords, that it was unworthy of the dignity of the Emperor of Russia perse veringly to attribute the failure of his scheme, not to the nature of the scheme itself, but to the perseverance and malignity of Lord Stratford de Redciffe. (Cheers.) The Sultan was perfectly alive to his own interests, and under any circumstances, would have refused the terms sought to be imposed on him by the Emperor of Russia. (Cheers.) True it is Lord Stratford, on being consulted, did not advise the Porte to commit political suicide, but the same advice was given at the same time by the French Ambassador, the Austrian Internuncio, and the Prussian Minister. (Cheers.) When the outrage of occupying the principalities was committed, it was committed as a gua rantee for the fulfilment of a treaty which had not been violated. Although this part of the subject has been more than once alluded to before, your lordships must bear in mind that the whole question, as regards the Em peror of Russia, turns upon the interpretation of the seventh article of the treaty of Kainardji, by which the Porte engaged to protect the Christian religion and all its churches throughout the Ottoman dominions ; but so care fully did the Porte guard itself against any right of inter ference on the part of Russia that, by a subsequent por tion of the article, that interference was limited to the right of making representations with respect to a church at that time building at Constantinople, and to an en gagement on the part of the Porte to take those represen tations into consideration. (Hear, hear.) That is not the unlimited interpretation of the treaty which has been throughout insisted upon by Russia, and for which she is now prepared to enter into war. I leave yours lordships tojudge what would have been the effect as regards Russia if this scheme had succeeded, and if the Em peror had been entitled to demand all that was con ceded to him, with the additional interpretation put upon this treaty. We have a treaty with the King of Naples. Suppose we had suddenly chosen to give an in terpretation to that treaty that it was an undertaking to admit British commodities free of duty, for the purpose of rendering them cheaper to his Majesty's subjects ; and sup pose the King of Naples, as he was justly entitled, had re sisted this, and we had seized on Sicily as a material 1 pledge—not of any right of claim, but of our interpreta tion of the treaty—in that case, I ask whether the indig nation of Europe would not have been aroused, and whether the King of Naples would not have been war ranted in calling in the aid of allies ? (Hear, hear.) Just such an assumption of right as this, and such an unwar ranted use of power has taken place on the part of Russia. But, notwithstanding all that had occurred, the media tion of Austria for the settlement of the differences be tween Russia and the Porte was called in, and Austria invited the aid of the other three Powers in this work. Though the four Powers felt that the Emperor of Russia had committed a great wrong, they thought it advisable to find for him a means of retreat without loss of dignity, and if the Emperor had accpted the modified Vienua Note he would have lost nothing of dignity, but in reality would have gained more. (Hear, hear.) He rejected the terms proposed, and Count Nesselrode then, in a note, ex plained what it was that Russia really required. Still, however, the Emperor of Russia having said, after the Conference at Olmutz, that if any fresh terms were pro posed to him he desired that they should be first settled with the Porte, the Four Powers again renewed their en deavours, and their representatives at Constantinople ob tained from the Porte fresh terms, giving the Emperor much more than he had a right to demand. And it is worthy of remark that after the Sultan had been com pelled, in his own defence, to declare war, and after the massacre at Sinope which aroused national indignation, a fresh negotiation was begun. The terms of the negotia tion were sent to Vienna, and unanimously approved by the representatives of the Four Powers, who declared them to be just and honourable, and such as the Emperor might accept without any loss of that honour and dignity which it was thought so desirable to maintain. And, my lords, how were those negotiations received ? (Hear.) The Emperor of Russia did not even notice the terms offered him by the Porte. He disregarded the advice and recommendation of the Four Powers, and he disregarded the highest and greatest interests of Europe and the uni versal expression of public opinion. (Cheers.) He, however, subsequently sent proposals of his own, in which his original demands, far from being abated, were in creased, and put in a form to render them more injurious and more offensive to the Porte. (Hear, hear.) Could we, under such circumstances, allow the virtual supremacy over millions of the subjects of the Sultan to be handed over to the Emperor of Russia ? Could France and England submit to the degradation of allowing Russia to take up a position in Turkey which would be the means of inflicting death upon that country, either by slow poi son or by sudden death ? An answer has already been given by the generous and high-minded people of this country — (cheers)—who detest aggression in whatever form it may assume, and who are always ready to protect the weak against the strong. (Loud cheers.) And, my lords, it was a sense of national hour, a sense of duty, and a desire to maintain the respect in which this country is held among the nations of the earth, that made her Majesty's Govern ment, in conjunction with the Government of the Emperor of the French, feel it their bounden duty to bring this question to a final decision, and require within a given period an understanding from the Emperor of Russia, giving him notice at the same time that his refusal to comply with the terms proposed would be received as a de claration of war. (Cheers.) Late on Saturday evening last a messenger arrived with the information that the Emperor did not consider it consistent with his dignity to give any answer to the communication of the allied Powers, and on Monday her Majesty's Royal Message was read in this house. I think your lordships will admit that we have been actuated by no selfish considerations, that wo have sought for no territorial aggrandisement and no extension of influence. We want nothing for our trade, and we fear nothing for our Indian possessions. (Cheers.) For none of these would we make the sacrifices we are now about to make ; but for the preservation of our honour and our self-respect we are prepared to make any sacrifice, and it is to maintain them that her Majesty appeals to the loyal devotion of your lordships. (Loud cheers.) On Monday evening a noble earl opposite expressed a wish that the agreements between England and France, and England, France, and Turkey, should be laid upon the table. Certain papers have already been delivered, but at the present moment we are not able to lay our agreement with France on the table. At present it consists simply of an exchange of notes, containing arrangements with respect to military operations, and which have been drawn up for the purpose of facilitating arrangements elsewhere, which, I hope, may have been concluded before now. When the arrangements are concluded the notes between France and England will take a more decisive and definite I form, and will then be laid upon your lordships' table. With respect to the convention entered into, I explained to my noble friend opposite (the Earl of Malmesbury), last night, that, in consequence of a misunderstanding at the French Foreign-office, the Ambassador of the Emperor of the French at Constantinople had not yet received his full powers, and, consequently, the treaty had only been pro visionally signed. It cannot, therefore, at present be aid upon the table; but I may at once reply t o the in q u i ries made by my noble friend (Lord Derby), thoothor evening, with respect to some fears he expressed with regard to certain rumours which had reached him, that the treaty contains no stipulations of any kind with respect to the Christian subjects. (Cheers.) A q uestion has been asked by my noble friend opposite as to the terms and I think manlier in which we are about to carry on the war, but any noble friend will not press that question, when he must be aware that the answer must depend upon a vast variety of circumstances. (Hear , hear.) Our object is t? check and repel the unjust aggression of Russia, imt in what manner that will be carried out, and to what consequences it may lead, must depend entirely upon the proverbial chances of war, upon the success that may attend our arms, and upon the activity of our allies. When the British army went to Spain we went to assist the people I of that country to defend themselves fr o m aggression ; but peac e exce pt upon the territori a l arrange in 1808, or 1809 , or 1810, or 1811, we could not say we N m vo e u n i t d s N I 1 I vh a i k c e h n a o •ere ultimately fixed at Vienna. In enter inn- on war now, we do so to repel aggressio n . I b e lieve there is not a man iu the dominions of the Czar who does not expect that Constantinople will ultimately belong to Russia. It will be onr duty, as far as we possibly can, to prevent the realisation of that expectation, and to take care that a Russian occupation may never begin there. Were it to succeed, and were Russia to be in possession of Constantinople, c ommanding, as she would do then, the Black Sea and its shores, being enabled, as she would, to occupy Circassia. and Georgia, and convert the population of those frontier countries into one mighty army, having access to the Mediterranean and a vast naval fleet in the Baltic, and determined, as she now is, to increase her naval power, with all those facilities which steam and modern invention have afforded for the trans port of troops—with all these advantages, were Russia in possession of Constantinople, it would not be too much to say that more than one Western Power would have to undergo the fate of Poland. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) The wealth and the intelligence and the civilisation of Europe would be no more a barrier against encroach ments upon the part of Russia than were the intelligence and civilisation of ancient Rome against the encroach ments of the Huns and Vandals. (Cheers.) If I may explain this question, it is not merely the protection of Turkey against the aggressions of Russia that is concerned in the Eastern question, as it is commonly called, but it is the battle of civilisation against barbansm—(cheers) — and the ma i n t enance o f th e independence of Europe. (Con tinued ch eers . Already, even without territorial aggran disement, thi3 policy pursued by Russia has, in a great measure, plgced the nations of Germany in a state of de pendence. ' Several foreign Governments, but more par ticularly those of Germany, have been acted upon by Russia with a strength and influence which have been and always will be exercised to check education, the free ex• pression of opinion, and that progress which is essential to civilisation. (Cheers.): The object of the Emperor of Russia has been to render other countries dependent upon him. From the papers which have already been laid upon the table of the house your lordships must have seen at once that the submission of Austria to the designs of the Emperor of Russia upon Turkey was taken for granted, and that, with respect to Prussia, she was not thought worthy of mention at all. (Hear.) And even after all that had passed—even in the course of this very year, after Aus tria and Prussia had signed the proctocols condemning the conduct of the Emperor of Russia, the Emperor of Russia sent a convention for the German Powers to sign for his advantage, and did not authorise his agent to give an answer to the Emperor of Austria himself, when he asked what the policy of the Emperor of R uss i a would be in the event of his signing that convention. Nor would the Emperor of Russia even say whether he would cross the Danube or not. (Hear, hear.) But the conven tions and propositions of the Emperor of Russia were re jected in a manner well calculated to maintain the dignity and independence of Austria and Prussia. (Loud cheers.) And here, my lords, let me repeat what I have said be fore, that this country has every reason to be satisfied with the conduct of Austria. (Cheers.) She has behaved in an honourable and straightforward manner throughout the negotiations with Russia, and she has done, in her own way, and at her own time, everything that she could for the preservation of peace, and to maintain the integrity of Turkey. (Loud cheers.) I believe she has now placed her army upon a war footing, and only this evening I re ceived a communication stating the position of her diffe rent forces, which now amount to 130,000 men, indepen dently of her troops upon the frontier. There is a diffe rence, however, in the mode of action between Austria and Prussia. The latter power is desirous of exercising a per fect neutrality ; but I must say that, with such a war as is now about to be waged upon the frontiers of both coun tries, it will be impossible for either power to preserve a neutrality. At all events, nothing could be more injurious or fatal to the best interests of both these countries than a protracted war, and nothing could be better for them than a short and decisive contest. But if the two great German Powers be divided, the result will inevitably be in favour of revolutions ; and therefore favourable to the present interests of Russia. (Hear.) If these powers, however, proceed in accordance with popular opinion, which is every day more and more aga inst Russia, it can not be for one moment doubted that the ultimate result will be favourable to German independence. (Cheers.) That Power which refuses to lend itself to the designs of Russia will transfer to itself all the popular sympathy of Germany, and into the hands of that Power will be committed the future destinies of the German nation. Under these cir cumstances, I do sincerely hope that these two grea t Powers—taking an accurate estimate both of their own in terests and the interests of Europe—may become not only united in their policy with the Western Powers, but that they will undertake united action with them. 1 trust they will take the parts which befit them in this great struggle, the result of which concerns them even more than Western Europe. I trust that, at the close of this struggle, we shall find them by our side, re-establishing peace upon a solid and secure foundation; but that peace, my lords, will be neither solid nor secure unless the territorial extension and the immoderate influence of Russia be effectually restrained. That peace will not be a glorious peace, my lords, if we do not secure equal rights and immunities for the Christian subjects of Turkey, not securing them by treaties nor by a protectorate, nor by ac quiring rights fatal to the very independence which we intend to uphold, but securing them as the spontaneous act of the Sultan—and not less binding on him on that ac count—by which he will best consult his own interests, and by which he will entitle himself to the gratitude of Europe, and afford to France and England the only return they desire for the exertions which they aro now making on his behalf. With these objects in view, and if the Crown meets, as I trust it will, with the unanimous sup port of the Parliament and people of this country, we may humbly hope that the protection of Heaven may be vouch safed to the cause which we believe to be a right one, and we may look forward boldly and fearlessly to the re sult of this struggle in which we are about to embark. (Cheers.) The noble earl concluded by moving that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, to return her Majeatir _ the _tbanks of this 4icasekr Tier most gracious_ Message, and for the communication of the several papeTri which have been laid before it in obedience to her Majes ty's command ; to assure her Majesty of the just sense we entertain of her Majesty's anxious and uniform endea vours to preserve to her people the blessings of peace, and of our perfect confidence in her Majesty's disposition to terminate the calamities of war, whenever that object can be accomplished consistently with the honour of her Majesty's Crown and the interests of her people; that we have observed with deep concern that her Majesty's en deavours have been frustrated by the spirit of aggression displayed by the Emperor of Russia in his invasion and continued occupation of the provinces of Wallachia and. Moldavia, in the rejection of equitable terms of peace pro posed under the sanction of four of the principal Powers of Europe, and in the preparation of immense forces to sup port his unjust pretensions; that these pretensions appear to us subversive of the independence of the Turkish empire ; that we feel that the trust reposed in its demands on our part a firm determination to co-operate with her Majesty in a vigorous resistance to the projects of a Sovereign whose further ag,grandisement would be dangerous to the inde pendence of Europe. The Earl of DERBY rose, and said he should not offer I the slightest opposition to the address, because he was sa tisfied that the war was a just war; but he feared that the country had but an inadequate conception of the magni tude and probable duration of the contest upon which we were about to enter. The object of the war was not merely to obtain the expulsion of Russia from the principalities, but to restrain her aggression by the united action of inde pendent States. But the pretensions of Russia would not have been put forward at this particular time if Lord Aberdeen had not been at the head of the Government. Those pretensions were shadowed forth in Count Nessel rode's memorandum of 1844. This was a document of rather a singular character; it was stated to he a " me morandum by Count Nesselrode delivered to her Majesty's Government and founded on communications from the Emperor of Russia subsequently to his Imperial Majesty's visit to England, in June, 1844." He dared say the me morandum was framed subsequent to his Majesty's visit to England, but he did not understand what were those com munications from the Emperor. If there were communi cations there was a diplomatic correspondence and de spatches, and those had not been produced to the house. But, if ho was not mistaken, at the time this memorandum was framed it was in consequence of a personal communi cation which took place at the period of the Emperor's visit to this country in 1814—a personal, not an official communication, with two or three ministers, of whom the noble earl at the present moment was the only survivor, and special communications from the n oble earl himself, who at that time filled the office of Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Now, this memorandum was of a remarkable character; it was not an official document, it was not a document that was brought under the cogni sance of the cabinet of which the noble earl and himself at the same time were members, but it was a personal communication binding on the noble earl himself, not binding in the slightest degree on the Government. It remained not with the ordinary papers in the Foreign office ; it remained in the custody of each successive Se cretary of State, with no copy of it in the Foreign-office. He was in a condition to know that great importance was attached to this memorandum, because he had not had the honour of holding office eight-and-forty hours when both to him and to the noble lord who then filled the office o. Secretary for Foreign Affairs Baron Brunow expressed his anxious desire that they should see and ma k . e them selves acquainted with this document. Up to this time he knew nothing of it. But when the noble memorandum ucceeded to the Government, then immediately the ~ which the Emperor held to be binding as . against himself, to use his own expression, was also binding on the noble earl opposite, not as the British Minister, but as the indi vidual to whom he had communicated .his scheme i n 1844 ; and then, the posi tion of Europe giving him encourage ment, he was led to believe that now was the time to carry into operation the scheme laid. down in 1844. What was the understanding that was come to in 1844 ? That in which the nobe earl prsonally concurre ws that if any thi n g un foreseen occurred in Turkey, Russia a and Eng land would consult together as to the course to be pur sued. Englandjand Russia were to go hand in hand, and Austria was to follow in the train of Russia. From 1814 to the present time Russia had always presumed that, and that France would be obliged to go in conformity with the course England and Russia agreed upon. The object then of the conference in 1844 was, that if any unforeseen event threatened the dissolution of the Turkish empire, England and Austria would follow in the train of Russia, and enter into a contract by which they would compel France to ac cept the terms that they offered. The noble earl succeeded to office, and at that moment there were questions between France and Russia about the Holy Places. It was sup posed, rightly or wrongly, that at that time between France i and England there was no cordial understanding, and Russia probably considered that the Prime Minister of 1853 would follow up the negotiations entered into in 1814 — that Russia, England, and Austria would dictate their policy to France. That that was the design of the Em peror in 1853, he not only had no doubt, but ho thought these papers contained abundant evidence to prove; and not only was that his design, but it was pro mulgated in the openest and most unblushing manner. He (the Earl of Derby) contended, further, that, in the recent negotiations, Russia had never concealed h er views upon Turey, though he acknowledged the honour and good faith with which the Government had acted through out the secret correspondence. Lord J. Russell, however, in that correspondence recognised the Emperor's right of a protectorate over the Christian subjects of the Porte, which we are now going to war to destroy. Russia, therefore, had some cause to complain; and he further contended that the Emperor had reason to think that this country concurred with him as to the ultimate arrangement of the affairs of Turkey. He (Lord Derby) would say nothing of the manner in which the Emperor had treatedall the other powers, and especially that with which the proposed tri partite treaty was to be entered into, but for an example of supreme contempt and indifference to the feelings and in pendent action of a nation it had no parallel, except Now ready, at all the libraries, in 3 vols.

In consequence of to-day being fixed for the conside ration, in both houses of Parliament, of her Majesty's most gracious message, announcing the suspension of all negotiations with the Emperor of "All the.Russias," large crowds of persons collected in Palace-yard, in Westminster Hall, and along the different passages lead ing to each house, in order to witness the arrival of the various Peers and members of Parliament, and great anxiety was evinced by them to see the most prominent members of the Cabinet. The interior of the House of Lords presented a more exciting appearance than it has done on any other occasion we recollect, except at the opening and close of Parliament, when her Majesty attends in person. The galleries on each side of the house, which are usually appropriated to peeresses were en tirely filled with ladies upon whose splendid dresses the reflection of the brightly shining sun, through the coloured glass windows, had a very peculiar and brilliant effect. The space in front of the throne and behind the bar, as well as the strangers gallery were crowded with spectators. All the Ministers were on the Government benches and there was a large attendance of Opposition members. LONDON aud. NORTH-WESTERN RAIL WAY. NOTICE FOR APRIL. The 9 a in.

Noma AN, one of the fleet of the General Screw Steam shipping Company, is appointed to Leave SOUTHAMPTON on the 4th of April, with her Majesty's mails, for ADELAIDE, PORT PHILIP, and SYDNEY. The Queen of the South, which was the p i on eer ship of the Indian mail steam-ship line (via the Cape of Good Hope), returned from Calcutta to Plymouth on the 26th of February last, her third voyage, punctually to an hour—a significant fact, and worthy of note, especially when it is considered that the distance is 'about '..7,000 miles by sea, and that she had to stop at seven ports outward and eight homeward. This feat hp not been accomplished by any ships in the world but by those be-longing to the General Screw Steam-shipping Company. The Queen of the South Is sister ship to the Argo (also one of this Company's fleet), which reached Australia from Southampton in 64 days, and rat trued to England the same time. The Argo was the first steam -ship that returnA round Cape Horn, thus literally circumnavigating the globe in 1`2.• days, which has yet to be equalled. It is deemed but just to the public to state these facts, that they may know what this Company's magnificent vessels have done, and thus be able to form a rational calculation as to what they are likely to do in their service to Australia. It is also essen tial to prevent these vessels being confounded with others which have not been so fortunate. The mall service tp Australia will be continued by the General Screw Steam-shipping Company every alternate month until further notice. The Queen of the South is ship-rigged (the Argo was barque rigged), and it is not unreasonable to anticipate that, with favourable wind, she will - make the passage to Australia in 60 days, or less, thus affording to passengers and shippers a most desirable opportu nity for quick transit, that, under existing circumstances in the East, may possibly not occur again for some time. The arrange ments for passengers are unsurpassed for comfort and elegance. Rates of passage-money, 50 guineas to 100 guineas. Freight.

THE STRATEGY OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S CAM PAIGN'S EXPLAINED IN GENERAL SIR WILLIAM NAPIER'S HISTORY of the WAR in SPAIN and PORTUGAL. With 55 Maps and Plans. Complete in Six Vols., post Bvo., now reduced In reply to the Earl of RODEN, The Earl of ABERDEEN said it was the intention of the Government to advise her Majesty to set apart a day for national humiliation and prayer to Almighty God for the success of her arms in the present war. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY expressed his satisfaction at the declaration made by the noble earl. It had been always the practice in this country to appoint a day of humiliation previous to entering upon a war, and never was there a time when we could more properly invoke the blessing of God on her Majesty's arms. (Hear.) WAR WITH RUSSIA—HER MAJESTY'S MESSAGE. The Earl of CLARENDON moved that her Majesty's most gracious Message be read. The Royal Message was then read by the reading clerk, Mr. L. Edmonds, in a tone of voice which seemed to be purposely inaudible. The Earl of CLARENDON then rose, and said, —My lords, in rising to move your lordships to agree to the ad dress which I have the honour to propose in answer to the gracious Message of her Majesty which has just been read, I trust that it will not be necessary for me to detain the house at any great length on a subject upon whiehyour lordships are already so well acquainted, both by the papers which have been laid before Parliament, and by the debates in this house. But, my lords, upon an occasion like the present—upon an occasion of such solemn and grave im portance, when the hopes and anticipations of the last few months have been dispelled—when the peace which we have so long laboured to maintain has been terminated — when war, which we have thought for years past to be im possible to be renewed, is about to be commenced—and when your lordships are now called upon to reply to the appeal which her Majesty has made to your loyal devotion and zeal in the struggle which she is about to wage in de fence of an injured ally—l cannot approach this subject without feelings of the greatest anxiety. Ido not shrink from the expression of this opinion, because it is not inconsistent with that courage which characterises this country, it is not inconsistent with that determination of purpose which in past times has borne us safely through difficulties and dangers, calmly to contemplate the wide field of calamity that war opens before us, and to re flect upon the various and vast interests that will be endangered, upon the social progress which will be inter rupted, upon the burdens which will be impeded, and the plans of improvement which will be set aside by this war. But these considerations presenting themselves, and weigh ing heavily, as they must do, on every reflecting mind, have not proved sufficient either to abate the determination or to damp the ardour, I would rather say the enthusiasm, with which this country has risen as one man at the sacred call of duty to defend the national honour from unjust attack and unprovoked aggression. (Hear.) My lords, I trust that nothing will fall fi om me this evening to mar those unanimous feelings with which on every account it is so important that our proceedings should be c haracterised l , or that I should impair the great and good effect which know has been produced throughout the whole of Europe by the unanimity of the people of this country and by the imposing attitude which in consequence England has assumed since war has appeared to be imminent. But, my lords, in saying this, 1 am far from intending, as my noble friend thought on a former and less important occa sion, to deprecate discussion or avert inquiry in any and every stage of these proceedings ; still less have I any intention to complain of the spirit in which these inquiries and that criticism have been conducted. Some of your lordships may have thought that we.alisl. not speak out, sufficiently strongly and in good lime ; others have thought that we should have acted more vigorously, and rendered war inevitable in order to avoid war ; others have thought that we have displayed a foolish confidence in the assurances we have received ; while others like my noble friend below me (Earl Grey) have, by power ful arguments, endeavoured to establish that we should n o t have interfered ' at all. But, my lords, as far as lam able to ascertain the real state of public opinion. I have found that the verdict of the country has been given in our fa vour, and that it is because our persevering efforts to main tain peace have been exhausted that the unanimous sup port of this powerful nation is now to be given to us. It has been, on several occasions , mysd.uty to explain and defend the policy of the Government, and I shall not on the present occasion occupy your lordships' time or weary you by going over the same ground and repeating the same facts and arguments. But, my lords, with reference to that undue confidence which we have been accused of ex hibiting in the Emperor of Russia, I do desire to say a few words, and they will be with reference to that correspond ence which has just been laid on your lordships' table. My lords, it is unnecessary for me to say that that corres pondence would have remained buried in the archives of the Foreign-office, if we had not been c hallenged, and con sequently compelled by the Emperor of Russia to produce it. We neither desired nor sought these communiaations, but having received them as confidential, vre have behaved with scrupulous honour to the Emperor of Russia, and I can give your lordships no better proof than this fact—that in a despatch that I wrote at the end of April, in which •I recapitulated the various assurances given us by the Em peror, I inserted one short extract, not from the despatch by Sir H. Seymour containing an account of his conver sations with the Emperor, but from the memorandum which the Emperor had caused to be drawn up. Count Nsselrode, observine this extract, p ro tested against this as s a breach of confidence, and requested that it might not be inserted in that despatch when it was laid before Par liament. We replied that all communications of this kind were exceedingly inconvenient to ss constitutional Government—(cheers) — but that if the Emperor thought he had just cause to complain, we would promise him that that passage should be withdrawn fromtbe despatch when it was laiSbefore Parliament. 8 w h e ther, in the course (Hear.) s end I can with confidence appeal to your lordship of the various discussions which have taken place, there has been any, the slightest allusion, on the part of the Government, to the communications made by the Em peror. (Hear, hear.) But, my lords, as that correspond ence has been produced, I can only express my satisfaction that it has seen the light, because I think may say, with out presumption, it proves that we have been honest to the Sultan, honest to our allies, and h on est to the Empe ror himself. (Cheers.) The Emperor voluntarily deve loped his ideas, or rather expressed his c onviction that the u i s e idea on dissolution of the Ottoman emp ire was inevitable the part and we mus t remember that this was no s in g of the Emperor — that he had no monopoly of it—and that it was shared by thousands of p ersons in this country, who, at this time last year, had no idea of the vital energy and national spirit which the Turks have since exhibited. (Hear.) It was proved by books, by pamPhlets , hY Otto papers,news- and by a variety of statistical data, that the sewith us what would. man empharcould not last. The Emperor of Russia desired to discuss this matter with us, and to arran plsecies being realised. be suitable, or rather what would na ' be suitable, to the two countries in the event of these pro There was in this nothing more to excite suspicion or create alarm in 1853 than there was in 1841 or in 1829, when these ideas were first broached. But if this country had participated in the se ideas of the Emperor—if we had shown that we believed the dissolution of Turkey to be at at Candia, might hand—if we had been r ead y to admit its or dismemberment which ro , or shown a readiness t E w ere pposed to us to —then, acce I p think, the Emperor have looked to the realisation of his prophecy. But it was because we wished to avert that danger, and to bring the Emperor to our view of the q uestion, that we did not shrink from his wish that we should discuss the whole ques tion with him. (Hear , hear.) We fully discussed his arguments ; we gave our reasons for thinking that the dissolution of the Otto man empire was not at hand ; we declared that we would not be a party to an sunderd dealings, and that we would have no secre from our allies; we dismissed with something like silent contempt the offer of a territorial bribe- - (chee rs)— and we pointed out to the Emperor the course he ought to pursue. Well, nap lords, the Emperor in return said that Russia was too great in territorial extent already ; that ho desired no in crease of territory ; that the m aintenance of the Ottoman was a European necessity, an d that its dowfall would be a European calamity ; and though he said he should b e S ultan in sist upon justice bei n g done him ques tion of the Holy Places, yet y he positivelyupon the asserted that he had not moved a man or a ship at that time to wards Turkey. (Hear,) And, my lords, these assurances were given to us not only upon the word of the Emperor, but on the word of a gentleman. (Cheers.) His Imperial Majesty seems to draw some distinction between the two. (A. laugh.) And these assurances were addressed, not alone to the Government, but to the Queen herself. (Hear, hear.) In a memorandum written by the Empe ror's own hand, and fr om his own pen, we received these assurances : " The Emperor has, with lively satisfaction, made himself acquainted with Lord Clarendon's despatch of the 23d of March. His Majesty congratulates himself on perceiving that his views and those of the English Cabinet entirely co incide on the subject of the political combinations which it would be chiefly necessary to avoid in the extreme case of the contingency occurring in the East which Russia and Eng land have equally a t heart to prevent, or, at all events, to delay as long as possible. Sharing generally the opinions ex pressed by Lord Clarendon ou the necessity of the prolonged maintenance of the existing state of things in Turkey, the Emperor, nevertheless, cannot abstain from adverting to a special point which leads him to suppose that the information received by the British Government is not altogether in ac cordance with ours. It refers to the humanity and the. tole toleration to be shown by Turkey in her manner of treating her Christian subjects. Putting aside many other examples to the contrary of au old date, it is, for all that, notorious that recently the cruelties committed by the Turks in Bosnia forced hundreds of Christian families to seek refuge in Austria. In other respects, without wishing on this occasion to enter upon a discussion as to the symptoms of decay, more or less evi dent, presented by the Ottoman Power, or the greater or less to 31. - Few Volumes to complete sets of the former edition remaining for sale, early application is necessary.

TRIESEMAR, No. 1, is a remedy for Relaxation, Spennatorrhcea, and Exhaustion of the System. TRIESEMAR, No. 2, effectually, in the short space of three days, completely and entirely eradicates all traces of those Disorders which Capivi and Cubebs have so long been thought an antidote for, to the ruin of the health of a vast portion of the population. TRU:SR/JAR, No. 3, is the great Continental Remedy for that class of Disorders, which unfortunately the English physician treats with Mercury, to the in evitable destruction of the patient's constitution; and which all the sarsaparilla in the world cannot remove.

ON TRUE Sa FALSE SPERMA.TORRHCEA, with the View to the Correction of wide -spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Care of the Impuissant and Sexual Hypochondriacs, Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. T 3 which is added, an ESSAY en SEXUAL DEBILITY, by the Editor. "Dr. Pickford Is known to English readers by his frequent practi cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it rtay be in his t9ower to correct." —London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. The tribe of 'Quiet Sympa thisers,•and • Medical Friends, are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would ue saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of less importance, though it is that which the quacks most pr tize the e m• pirical system of treating Sperm atorrhcea, and to place the treat ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore, likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852. London: H. Baler% 219, Regent-street. PROBable the Emp ABLE CONSEQUENCES. —It is ore than he very proberor of Russia will get m bar gained for, and, more probable, he will meet with an interruption called a complete defeat. The forces of England and France will probably cut such a figure as will leave no doubt of the consequences of the affray.

MOSES and BON in their magnificent Spring and Summer Attire, wich evinces unparalleled experience and inimitable business activity, and will ensure the most brilliant success for their City and West-end Establishments. The numberlessnovelties in materials and designs in Dress for all classes, and the most economical charges for Attire, Bespoke or Ready-made, will claim the attention of ladies and gen tlemen in every section in society. Whatever conjectures may have been made respecting the Spring and Summer preparations MOSES and SoN, the most probable consequence is that they are des tined to be infinitely surpassed, for at no period of time and by no house of business whatever were ever collected such a Splendid, Fashionable, and Seasonable Stock of Clothinr, Bats, Hosiery, Ladies' Dress Boots and Shoes, Sec., as at the Establishments of E.

Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret its P doubts of their physical condition, and whe are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being la entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are MinciPles of person a l management wh i c h canno t b e violated without inc urring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succe ed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequenc es maybe 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 ha s f or a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the t reatment of these delicate complaints, wh i c h are u nfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.
