WALSH wished to ask whether, considering that the combined action of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, is essential in modern warfare, and that the period required for the transport of the two latter arms is the measure of time of all effective military operations, her Majesty's Go vernmeut are prepared to adopt any plan by which steam power may be generally applied to the conveyance by sea of these two branches of the service. Sir J. GRAHAM said he thought his best course, in answering the hon. baronet, was to state to the house what the Government had accomplished since the Bth February by the means, such as they were, at the dis posal of the Government. The y had sent to Turkey, since the Bth of February, 830 officers, 21,119 men, 2,259 horses. They had sent in addition 2,300 lbs. of provisions, and of commissariat and ordnance stores, 8,300 tons. They had employed 92 transports, 20 steamers, and 70 sailing vessels ; and considering the distance which this force had to be moved, and the short time, as already stated, within which the work had been accomplished, and the number of men and horses that had been moved, he was confident that at no former period of the history of this country, had the same amount of work been performed in so short a time. (Cheers.) METROPOLITAN LETTER CARRIERS. Mr. T DUNCOMBE asked why the report of the com missioners appointed last year by the Treasury to investi gate the complaints of the district letter carriers of the me tropolis has not been laid upon the table ; and whether any thing has been, or is likely to be, done towards the removal of the grievances of which they have so long complained ? Mr. HAYTER said no commission had been appointed to inquire into the complaints of the letter carriers, but a commission had been appointed to inquire generally into the subject of the delivery of letters in the metropolis, and the report of that commission would shortly be laid on the table. THE BLACK SEA FLEET. Mr. DANIEL O'CONNELL asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if Catholics serving in the Black Sea fleet, or in the Baltic, or on board any of her Majesty's ships at present in commission, are compelled to attend Protestant divine service, when read on board, either by a chaplain, naval instructor, or other officer ; and, if such be the case, whether the practice of compelling them will be allowed to continue, when Catholic soldiers are not in any case compelled to attend Protestant service ; whether the Ad miralty will consider of allowing Catholics on such occa sions to assemble on the forecastle apart from the rest of the ship's company, under charge of a warrant or petty offi cer of their own communion. Sir J. GRAHAM said this subject had already been discussed in the house once this session, and he stated then what the Admiralty had clone in the matter. Divine ser vice was constantly celebrated in the fleet, according to the provisions of the Act of Parliament, and he was not aware that the Roman Catholic sailors in the service had ma d e any objection of their religious wants being neglected. There was consequently no intention whatever to alter the law in this respect, though it was right that he should add that he was now in communication with the admiral and commander of the fleet, upon the subject of giving Roman Catholic sailors increased facilities for observing and per forming their religious duties. Lord D. STUART asked the First Lord of the Admi ralty whether it be true, as stated repeatedly in the public I papers, that subsequently to its having been notified to the "Russian Government that the English and French fleets had received orders to enter the Black Sea, and to require and if necessary to compel every Russian ship they might meet with to re-enter a Russian port ; and notw'thstand i.ng that notification, that Russian ships of war have crossed the Black Sea, and have removed a considerable number of Russian troops from the coast of Circassia to the Crimea, without experiencing any impediment whatever in the per formance of that important operation from any of the ships of the allied fleets? Sir J. GRAHAM was not aware of any occurrence in the Black Sea to which the question could refer, except it was the case of the Samson. which, on visiting the Cir cassian coast on the 16th of March, found a few small Rus sian steamers engaged in the destruction of a number of aClitercarnsasitaivneFichratsn, atnodotrhdeerEntgleimsh commander h nea h re a s d t no other port, war not having then been declared by England. against Russia, though a notice had been sent to the whether the go vernor of Sebastopol, that in the event of Russian ships venturing out of port they would be compelled by the combined fleets to return into port. SERVIA.a. Russell, Porte and the Government of Servia have l eonsented that T ocLupieL. by Austrian Lord D. STUAAURSTTII'aIskAedALNoprd troops? Lord J, BIISULL said that no Amitrian troops at pre, sent occupied Servia, and moreo* Austria had declared that she would not think herself jnstified in the occupying of Servia unless the Russian, troops should. enter Servia, I or in case of a Servian insurrection. _ . _ THE TROOPS AT GALLIPOLI. Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR rose to ask the Secretary at War whether his attention has been called to the follow- 1 ina statements contained in a letter published in the Times of 26th April, purporting to corns from their own corre spondent at Gallipoli, underdatoof 10th April, respecting, the provisions made for the rece on of the British troops there ; and whether he can give y explanation with re spect to the accuracy of thos e sta tnents, and whether any steps had been taken by her majesty's Government to prepare for the reception of the British troops at Gallipoli —and, if so, what those steps were ? Mr. S. HERBERT entered into a somewhat lengthened statement in reply, similar to that given by the Duke of Newcastle in the House of Lords last night. He defended the precautions taken by the Government for sending out everything to supply the wants of the troops, and read an extract from a letter- from Mr. Commissary Smith, explaining the extreme difficulties of procuring fresh provisions, &c.,. in Turkey. The most zealous co operation was given by the Turkish Government and their officers, and with regard to the particular quarter at Galli poli in which our troops were stationed, he (Mr. S. Her bert) had seen private letters from officers at Gallipoli, who declare that they prefer the Greek quarter of the town to any other, on account of its sanitary advantages. (Hear.) SCOTCH MILITIA. Col. BLAIR asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it is the intention of the Government to enrol the Scotch Militia this year ; and whether he can state at what period of the year the men will be required to assemble for exercise? Mr. S. HERBERT said it was intended to bring in a bill for the purpose ; and if the house assented to the bill, the enrolment would most likely take place in the autumn. ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT. Mr. LAFFAN asked Lord John Russell to explain the reasons which have led the Government, in making ar rangements for the conduct of the Ordnance service during the absence of the Master-General, to pass over Sir John Burgoyne, and appoint a junior officer of the Ordnance corps to be Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance. Lord J. RUSSELL declined to state any reasons for the appointment, but th:: elaima Sir J. Bure. , -- been overlooked. GREEK CHRISTIANS. Mr. COBDEN asked Lord John Russell whetlie Government contemplated laying before Parlament - , 4 1 Y . papers relating to the insurrection of the Greek Christians in Turkey, and explanatory of our present relations with the court of Athens? The hon. member made the usual formal motion for an adjournment, to enable him to enter into a lengthened statement upon the subject of the trade of Turkey, and to explain that several Greek houses who were mainly concerned in that trade had been expelled from Turkey because, although born subjects of the Porte, they Lad become naturalised Greeks. Lord J. RUSSEL - re—ln answering the statement of the hon. gentleman, I will say at once that the Government hope shortly to be able to lay before Parliament papers relating to the insurrection of the Greek Christians in Turkey, and explanatory of our relations with the Court of Athens; but to one er t cvo statements that have been made by the hon. gentleman I wish to refer. The hon. gentle man refers to the statement that has been made on my part, that the insurrection in Turkey of the Christians had been fomented, and :n fact very . much owed its origin to the attempts of the Greek Government to raise that insur rection. Every paper I have seen from persons who have authority from her Majestey in that quarter, whether it be from our Minister at .ithens or the Lord High Commissioner of thelonia.n Islands, or whether it be from Consuls Saunders or Blount, every one cf those statements shows that the Greek Government have been most active in fomenting that insurrection. (Hear, hear.) In the last despatch I read from 1 2Ir. Wyse, he says that the Foreign Minister of the King of Greece did complain of some phrase that had been used by the French Minister at the Court of Athens, and that he stated it was no use to complain of particular terms, became, in fact, it was notorious that the Court of Greece had done its utmost to foment that insurrection ; thatithe persons who were employed high iu the service of the King of Greece, whether in his household or in the military service, had been the most active persons in crossing the frontier, and in endeavouring to raise the Christian popula tion against the Sultan. He mentioned various other facts to the M.nister for Foreign Affairs of the King of Greece, and it does not appear that they were at all denied, but there was a general statement of the sympathy that must be naturally felt for the Greeks in Turkey (Hear, hear.) Ido not mean to deny that of the Christians in Turkey many of them are averse to the Mahometan rule ; but what I state ie that in a great many of the villages that have risen in insurrection„ there was perfect tranquillity. A lthou g h they were not content with Mahometan rule, there was no desire to rise in insurrection, or to take up arms against ' the authority of the Sultan, until persons in fact authorised by the King of Greece, who lately held his commission and came from Greece, were active in raising and fomenting that insurrection. (Hoar.) As to the part our ships abroad have taken on this subject, I own at once that some of her Majesty's ships have prevented vessels carrying arms and ammunition going from Greece is order to assist the insurgents, and such vessels have been stopped. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gentleman nexi, refers to the order that all the subjects of the kingdom of Greece in the Turkish territory should leave that territory. That was a de tision the Sultan's Government, vat* perfectly competent to make, and the comparison of that order to the le r vocation of the edict of Nantes i 4, I must say, an un happy one. (Hear, hear.) The persons to whom the revo cation of the edict of Nantes applied were subjects of the King of France, and they were ordered to leave France for the reason history gives us. (Hear, hear.) But those per sons were not the subjects of the Sultan, merely differing from him in religion, but they were persons who were the subjects of a foreign power, and of a foreign sovereign, who was doing his utmost to raise an insurrection and rebellion in the provinces of Turkey. (Hear, hear.) Whether that measure taken by the Sultan be expedient or not is quite another question. (Hear, hear.) The reason, for taking that step has not been communicated to her Majesty's Go vernment. We have been informed that the measure has been taken, and all the Secretary of State said on ; the subject is, that we doubt the wisdom of the policy that dictated it. (Hear, hear.) But it is a step that the Sultan was perfectly competent to take, and there may be reasons of which we are not aware that dictated this step ; but at all events the historical parallel which the hon. gentleman used is not applicable. (A laugh.) With respect to the papers to which the hon. gentleman • alludes, we shall be ready to produce them. I am very sorry to say that these papers will show, whenever they are pro duced, that great atrocities are committed, both by the irregular troops in the service of the Sultan, and by the insurgents who have risen against the Mahometan rule. At one side we have those irregular troops destroying Chris tian villages and leading the women and children into • slavery ; on the other hand, we have Christians going against the Mahometan inhabitants of a perfectly tranquil village - -persons not in arms, and not employed other wise than in the pursuits of peace, and destroying those Mahometan villages, and rooting out and extirpating the inhabitants. This is one of the most melancholy spectacles —this is one of the consequences that was to be expected from the attempt of the Emperor of Russia. (Hear, hear.) It was obvious that when he pretended to be the protector of the Christians in Turkey, he would raise up on the one side and excite the fanaticism of the Mahometan popula tion, and on the other side would arouse the desire for independence which exists amongst the Christian popula tion the subjects of the Sultan. The creation of that civil war was one of the consequences of that most unjustifiable aggression of which there is scarcely an apologist to be found anywhere, except perhaps the hon. member for the West Riding. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BRIGHT took the same view of this question as the honourable member for the West Riding, and insisted that the demands which Turkey had made upon the Government of Athens were as unjustifiable and impolitic as her expul sion of Greek naturalised. subjects. Neither he nor his honourable friend were the advocates or supporters of the Emperor of Russia; but both of them deprecated the language which the noble lord had held out towards that potentate as well as the Government of Athens. Turkey required that Greece should put down the freedom of the press—a most indefensible demand ; and yet her Majesty's Government were upholding Turkey in that demand. He denied that the Government of Athens was responsible for the Greek insurrection, as it was called, and if the noble lord would consent t o la y the papers on the table without curtailment or omission whatever, he was satisfied they would bear him out in that state ment. We had entered into this war for the protection of Turkey, but the vast majority of her inhabitants were Greeks ; and the fact was, we were now resisting the rights of the very people whom we pro posed to protect. The fact was, the Greek element was the great difficulty of this question ; and he must tell the noble lord that it would be got over neither by his abuse of the Emperor of Russia nor the sneers which he indulged in at the expense of his hon. friend the member for the West Riding. Mr. LAYARD said that, with regard to the Greek mer chants in this country, the hon. member for Manchester had made a statement which deserved a public contradic tion. He had told the house that a large number, indeed almost the whole of the Greek merchants in this country were native born Turkish subjects, but were trading as the neutralised subjects of another power. And it was no doubt true that these men, in consequence of the privileges they enjoyed under the tolerant government of the Sultan, were enabled to enjoy the protection of other Governments. Why, if a Turkish subject went to Odessa, and while per forming quarantine—without even landing—obtained a Russian passport, he was able to return as a Russian sub ject. But what use had these men made of the advantage they enjoyed under this protection ? They refused top ay the common local dues that the Porte had a right to rai o from its subjects. They refused even to pay the taxes for lighting and cleansing the streets of Peru. And he would invite the hon. member for Manchester to ask any British merchant resident nt Constantinople whether their gross abuse of their privileges was not most injurious to British trade, and had not ended by almost ruining every British house at Constantinople. Having enjoyed these advantages was it extraordinary that they should also be exposed to the disadvantages that resulted from their position ; or that when the Sultan found them engaged in raising re bellions within his dominions, he should compel them to be what they claimed to be—foreign subjects—and should compel them to leave his territory ? The hon. gen tleman said that this measure would be attended with loss to trade ; but the principal sufferers by it would he the Turkish Government ; and this fact showed that they must have been compelled almost by a necessity of their exist ence to expel from the country those from whom they derived their chief revenue. He was surprised to hear the hon. gentleman make some remarks upon the conduct of Mr. Blount, our Consul-General at Salonica, who he stated had almost taken upon himself the government of Thessaly. The fact, however, was, that no man in Turkey was bet ter acquainted with the true state of the population than Mr Blount ; that no man had done more to protect the Greeks ; and that no man held a higher position in the esteem both of Greeks am' Turks. The hon. gentleman then blamed the Turkish Government for interferin with ~'' ; , ~'i~;i >~ the Greek press, which he said, was as free as that of, Belgium. But the fact was that the Greek press was not' free. He knew that, with regard to Mr. Blount, peti tions falsely purporting to come from villages in Thessaly, and to be signed by the primates and chief men , were inserted in th Greek papers, containing statements calcu lated to cause great irritation amongst the Turkish popu lation, and which were thus likely M to lead no t the massacre of the Christians. Fortunately, r. Blou was able to for War- to our ambassador •at Constantinople petitions from the same people, containing statements of a directly contrary character ; and they were thus saved from the vengeance of the Turks. The fact was that the insurrec tion in the Turkish provinces was carried on by troops in the Pay of Greece, and who were actually r evi e wed b y the King and Queen before they started from Athene. And Mr. Blount went into Thessaly to show the inhabitants , the dangers they ran, if they took part with them, of being treated as rebels by Timeey, while they were sure to be the .first victims of the men who crossed over the frontiers with the professed object of assisting them. To a certain extent Mr. Blount had succeeded in restoring tranquillity iii that province, and for that he deserved not blame but praise. The hon. member for Manchester still talked as if he shared in the old error that ten millions of the subjects of Turkey had no sympathy with her ; and in order to sup port his views on this point he alluded to the feelings of the population of the lonian Islands. No doubt the senate of the lonian Islands were very anxious for the success of the Greek insurrection, in order that they might gain their own ends. But did the hon. gentleman know what was t' Le first step taken by this senate elected by the ballot ? They passed a law that uo man should be liable to pay his debts for four years. (Laughter.) He remembered last year meeting a gentleman of considerable rank in Greece, and while talking about the lonian Islands, the gentleman said, " You do not know how to treat them ; let them be added. to Greece, and we should show you how to deal with them." In answer to a question as to what would be the course taken by the Greek Government, his friend added, "we should turn three or four regiments amongst them, and you would see the result." No sioubt por tions of the Christian population in Turkey would rise ; but that population, generally, had no sympathy with either Greece or Russia, and had no strong feeling against Turkey. When he (Mr. Layard) had the honour to address the house on the 30th March last, he stated, on the authority of a private letter from Constantinople, dated n thq s2(lieesf tieeetinsietk; 00%V:a liiiie ails iiin face; ton g ing.of 7 - sreamere and 4 transports, had appeared on t.il'A`coaSct of Circassia; and had carried off a large body of tiooDs from the garrisons there in the presence of her Ma bilstt jesty's steamer Sampson. This statement he had made on the authority of a person engaged in the matter, ,and it ee - cod so strongly with the statement in the Russian paper that he could' not doubt that the facts were correctly stated. Yet in another place, on the 6th April, the noble earl at the head of the Foreign-office denied that the Sampson had brought any such information. It appeared, however, from the Russian journal, that there had been three . proceedings. On one occasion several Sorts were de stroyed ; on another, a number of troops were removed, but this operation being interrupted by.b.ad weather their removal was (thirdly) effected on as subsequent occasion. Theltussian journal stated that the operations of the Rus sian fleet onthe coast of Circassia had been crowned with complete success, and had resulted in the addition of 5,000 tried and effective troops to, the garrison of Sebastopol. The right lion. gentleman at' the head of the Admiralty said that the Russian vessels were only coasting steamers. He (Mr. Layard), however, had seen them, and he could tell the right hon. gentleman that they were steamers built in this Country, ' and that, although they were called coasting steamers, they were really vessels of-war carrying the • same armament as her Majesty's ships Devastation and Stromboli. He might indeed be told that care vessels could do nothing,' as there was at that time no declaration of war. Bu' he wanted to know what was the meaning of the instructions which they found in the blue books as early as October last ? By them the admirals were directed not to allow any ship to issue from Sebastopol, and were told to send her back if she slid. This operation on the coast of Circassia, as de scribed by the Journal of St. Petersburg , was evidently a directly warlike step, for if these troops had not been re moved they must have fallen into the enemy's hands. And he contended that the English and French fleets were bound to preVent any such step being taken by the Russian admiral. .This affair and that of Sinope might cost this country an . inconceivable amount of treasure and blood, for not only had 5,000 men been by this means added to the garrison of Sebastopol, but our moral influence over the population of these provinces had been diminished by showing them that the Russian fleet could if they pleased come out of Sebastopol. He was surprised 'that the noble earl at the head of the Foreign-office should have denied the statement which he made on -a former occasion, and ho certainly thought that some explanation on this subject was required, for it was evident either that the noble earl did not wish tho statement to go forth to the public, or that the Government had not received informa tion which had reaohed the hands of private individuals. The right. hon. gentleman (Mr. Sidney .Herbert) had denied the correctness of the statements with respect to the commissariat department which had appeared in the Times. He (Mr. Layard) could easily believe that those statements were correct, , but he was the last man who would wish to throw blame upon the officers of the commissariat and transport service. He was informed that Mr. Commissary-General Smith did not go out till March. Nov, as far back as January last, he (Mr. Lay ard) warned the Government that Turkey was not a coun try like England, and that preparations for the reception and support of an army should be commenced some months before its arrival. Every letter he received from the East confirmed him in the opinion that in a very short time we should find ourselves involved in far greater difficulties than we had at first any reason to expect. He was afraid that the country would find that preparations which should have been undertaken months ago, and which would have been if the Government had listened to the warnings of those who know the country, had been far too long de ferred. If due attention had been paid to those warnings, our troops would not now have been wanting the common necessaries for the sick, or the means of covering. The blame of this, however, rested, not with the officers con cerned in the management of our affairs in the East, but with the Government at home. He perfectly agreed with the right hon. gentleman that at no period had the country sent forth such a fleet and such an army, at so short a no tice, as those which we had recently despatched to theseat of war ; but he must say that if the Government had taken the precautions which they ought to have done last year, they would not now bo exposed to complaints which he feared were too well justified. (Hear, hear.) Sir J.IGRAHAM said that the hon. member for Ayles bury had reverted to a subject which was raised by a ques tion put to him by the noble lord the member for Maryle bone, and which had reference to the conduct of the officer commanding the Sampson on the coast of Circassia. The hon. member confidently relied on the accuracy of the statement which he had made on a former occasion, though he (Sir J. Graham) had asked the house to suspend its judgment until they had received the report of the British officer as to what took place, and had, on the part of Go vernment, declared their willingness to lay on the table a copy of the instructions which were given to the com mander of the Sampson by Admiral Dundas, and also a full report of what passed on the occasion referred to. The hon. member said that 5,000 men were withdrawn from Circassia and sent to Sebastopol. Now, the only informa tion which the Government had yet received, and which they were ready to lay before the house, was, that there were two transports, one of which was boarded, and that the two contained not more than 300 or 400 troops. The statement of Captain Jones is express, that the steamers were not vessels of war, but simply five small steamers employed as packets between Sebastopol and Odessa. The honourable gentlemen said that he had the advan tage of seeing them, but Captain Jones also had seen them. He had only one ship of war with him, and yet these five powerful steamers, as they were represented to be, crept as close to the coast as they could, and in the most careful manner avoided an encounter with one English and one French steamer. So much for the statement in the St. Petersburg Journal, which the honourable gentleman believed. He must entreat the house to suspend their judgment until they had seen the official report on the sub ject from a British officer of undoubted honour. Then with regard to the orders that were given to the fleets. The order of the Bth October, to which the hon. member had referred, was one of a very modified description, and only declared that the coasts of Turkey should be protected. After tho attair of Sinopo—which he regretted as much as the hon. member did, and which ho declared, in his hum ble judgment, to bo an eternal dishonour to the Emperor of Russia, inasmuch as it was a violation of assurances which had been given—a much more stringent order was issued by the British admiral on the 24th of December. By it protection was extended from the Turkish coast to the Turkish flag, and it was directed that every Russian ship of war, as contradistinguished from merchant ships, which should be met by the English or French cruisers should bo warned to return to Sebastopol, and that if she refused force should be used. The affair in question took place on the 16th of March, and as war was not declared here until the 29th, and the news of it did not reach Varna until the 16th of April, the transaction must be viewed with regard to the orders of December, which were then in force. Now, in the first place, it was to be ob served that whatever might be the character of the Russian MERCHAlN:et;:ecolseleeur.hen steamers, they were not met on the sea— they crept close to the shore ; and as they were proceeding from one Russian port to another, they could not be overhauled by the British steamers without an infraction of the law of nations. The transports could be overhauled. A question might here have arisen whether the order applied to transports. Captain Jones decided that transports should be treated as men-of-war, and he treated them accordingly. He (Sir James Graham) should be prepared to contend that the orders issued by the admiral were defensible, and that the manner in which Captain Jones executed them was quite correct. But he would not then trespass on the house furi,l3er in regard to a case which could not be satisfactorily discussed until the papers were before them. In the mean tiere he entreated the house to suspend its judgment, and not to believe a Russian account in preference to thereport of a British officer. (Hear, hear.) RUSSIAN AND ENGLISH Mr. M. GIBSON wished to put questions to the. Government on two points. The first question r(3 lated to the case of certain Russian merchant shipsl captured on the high seas, and supposed to be law a l prizes. He saw that a certain imperial decree w to have appeared at Paris, which would render itasnesucees: sary for the Government to release these p i_ therefore, wished to know whether such really appeared, and whether our Government sh could be in it. It was certainly clear that if the havebrought be einto made the i;in English o u our orders ports, e s i it ; o a u i n i lay be t h oli giveng h t been given that all Russian vessels leaving our ports before someii c m g i i n c' e7 e l t oLu O fission r d er s ni ll i ad st May 10 should not be interfered with on the high seas by ' o re n n i c h h e o sa r mEnegplirsihnecirpilieis, esrism• with respect to Russian vessels leaving a neutral port be tthheat}, fore that date. It would bo still more singular if we could similar orders take vessels leaving a French port before tbat date, be cause, if the French o rders were similar to oui s, the effect would be that the French cruisers could seize vessels leaving French ports, and thus the professed effect of our orders in council would be entirely lost. He wished, in the second place, to call the attention of the Government [PRICE SD. MINIma 1.00.0 to t, he case of a British ship, the Ann M'Allister, now lying; at Cronstadt. She sailed thence in October, 1853, but was obliged to put back in consequence of stress of w eather ; and the repairs which was thus rendered necessary detained her in the Russian port until the rost had set in. In the meantime, war broke out. The Emperor of Russia had now issued an order perini tting the Ann M`Allister to sail from Croustadt as soon tis the water is open. But it was certain that if she sailed of 'ter the 10th May, the British cruisers would seize and. eon, leinn her for breaking blockade. So that havi n g oa hoar( a cargo the property of British merchants, and pueoliasq xl in 1853, the ship was placed in this position — that the Russian Government, would seize her if she did not s: ill, and the British cruisers if she did. He must add that vet hin half an hour before he rose to address them in forma tic's had been received that an order had been giyen that t ho ship should be allowed to leave Cronstadt. but tL au for military reason's she must be manned by neutral. sailors, in consequence of her crew having been so long • within a, Russian fortress. Now, it so happened that th is was the ship which Sir H. Seymour had selected to brim e over the effects which he had left at St. Peters burgh, so that if those effects were really placed on board her, tl ie only danger of confiscation which they would incur vould arise under the B r iti s h or d ers in coun cil, for he could not see how any distinction could be ma le between them and the rest of the cargo. Tho le, :al advisers of the merchants who owned the Ann Wi"Allister had, under these circumstances, advised them 'to apply to the Government for a license, which had been r efused, although it was clear that this was a special case, a nd could have no bearing on the general question of whether licenses should or should not be granted to trade with the enemy's ports in time of war. He wished to ask the Go tvernment if they could point out any mode by which this 13, dash ship, with Sir H. Seymour's effects on board, could 1)0 allowed to leave Cronstadt unmolested by our cruiser s. He might, in conclusion, state his belief, from inform ation which had been supplied to him, that there was no , foundation whatever for the statement that Sir H. SeY mo ter's effects had been detained at St. Petersburg by an ordtir of the Emperor of Russia become they were Sir H. Seymour's effects. He believed that if they wereatdtee tained al all, they were det ained for some forma m, saisiiag out of the necessity for making out fresh papers.r It wins clear that, as the ship originally cleared in , October 1853, and as the shipment of 11 be would -- therefore bo fresh taking in of cargo, :tit H. Seymour s effect; it wee requisite that she should make a fr esh clearance at the custora-blouse, and should be furnished with new papers. Sir J.. GRAHAM said the first question put by the right lione gentleman referred to an order stated to have e, been i salted by the French Government, conformably to which an order had likewise been issued by, her Majesty'ol Government to the effect that Russian vessels leaving the ports of the Baltic and White Seas before the 15th of May; bound. to a port of France or Algeria, may freely accom plish their voyage, discharge their cargo, and afterwards proceed. to a Russian port not blockaded, or a neutral port. There was no doubt as to the fact of such an order having been iinued by the French Government, and he need hardly say it was also true that a corresponding order had been issued. by the British Government ; the French order contemplated a further extension of time with respect to the , colonies ; the British Government had not issned any such instructions. He did not think it would be expedient on the present occasion, and he did not know that the right hon. gentleman would wish him to argue th 4 question, whether there should be a further extension of the order in council, so that ships not leaving the ports of belligerents, but leaving the ports of neutrals, should be entitled to correspondingly lenient:treatment with ships leaving the ports of belligerents. But he must observe to the right hon. gentleman with regard to the policy that dictated the order of France and England regarding chips leaving tho ports of belligerents, that it was intended to be in favour of their own subjects who had onteredinto contracts with belligerents before the declaration of war. Though they might not go the whole length which the right lion. gentlemau would desire, yet it was quite apparent - that the orders in council which had been issued were framed in a spirit of the utmost attention to the interestsof trade and commerce, with an honest and rations I design to mitigate to the utmost extent the evils of war as affecting the communities of belligerents; and the only doubt which might be entertained was, whether they hail not carried this beneficent spirit so far as, to some ex tent, to affect the power of the belligerents to prosecute hos tilities with effect. It was not expedient to discuss these questions incidentally, but ha would point out to the house and to the right hon, gentleman that already they had had proofs of the expediency of the course adopted in a 'conces sion, animated by the same beneficent spirit, which had been issued by the Emperor of Russia, and notice had been given by the Minixter of Finance, allowing English and Fren ch. ships six Weeks from the 19th of April to clear out of Russian ports in the clack Sea and the Sea of Azoff, and' six ev-eCe.4from the 7111 of May to clear out of ports in tine Baltic.''' 'This was an order which showed a corresponding spirit of liberality oa the part of the Russian Government. and he must say that, by the issue of these orders, a great , 'triumph had been achieved by civilisation, and great pro-ee gress made in mitigating the evils of war. (Hear, hear.) He was also happy to be able to impart some consolation to the right hon. gentleman in regard to the unhappy Ann M'Allister. The Ann M'Allister obtained. a clearance from Croustadt in November last, but from stress of weather, and the frost setting in, she was unable to proceed to sea. Her cargo was put in, and was com pletely on board before the declaration of war. His right hon. friend appeared to anticipate that this unfortunate ship, - on account of a blockade which either was instituted - or was about to be instituted, must either be seized by the Emperor ofl Russia, and not allowed to quit the port, or that if she attempted to put to sea without a license, she must be captured by the blockading ship's. He must be allowed to tell his right hon. friend, that by the law of nations—though it was inexpedient to discuss these ques tions in a cursory manner, and still more inexpedient for him to give any positive opinion upon them—but accord ing to the law of nations, when a clearance was effected, and the cargo embarked before the declaration of war, then, notwithstanding the blockade, and without any license, the ship was entitled to pass freely. Therefore, so far as the public declarations of the Russian Government went, the vessel to which his right hon. friend's question referred had nothing to fear; whilst the proceedings of the British and French blockading squadrons would be regulated by strict conformity with the requirements of the law of nations. What the Emperor of Russia might have decided specially in this case they did not know; but he believed the right hon. gentleman's remark to be quite correct, that if no change had been made in the vessel's cargo, and if the crew of the vessel had been changed, as was said to have been required by the minute to which allusion had been made as having been issued on military grounds, then, even so far as Russia was concerned, no difficulty would be inter posed in regard to the departure of the Ann M'Allister. (Hear, hear.) As to the other question put — what was to be become of the effects of Sir Hamilton Seymour — he believed the right honourable gentleman was misin formed, and that those effects were not on board the Ann M'Allister, but were on shore. He hoped and believed that his eminent friend, her Majesty's late ambassador to St. Petersburg, would be treated according to the strictest usages of diplomacy, and would not be deprived of his property, whether that property were on board the Ann M'Allister or not. The facts of the case were that this British ship, so far as the law of nations and the en forcement of the blockade was concerned, had nothing to apprehend in putting to sea without a license. He, for one, considering the great latitude given under the orders in council with reference to neutrals, was of opinion, first of all that the blockade must be enforced in the most strin gent manner, so that articles contraband of war might not be allowed to pass, and the strictest search must be made for them. These rights being in force, he was further of opinion that there was the greatest danger in granting li censes ; and he hoped that neither Franco nor England would be induced to grant licenses. He was happy to think, therefore, that in the first case which had arisen, that of the Ann M'Allister, according to the law of nations, the vessel had nothing to apprehend from the blockade. Mr. GIBSON said the right honourable gentleman had made a slight misrepresentation of what he had said. He did not say that he had received an intimation that an order had been issued by Russia that if no change were made in the cargo and a neutral crew were embarked, the Ann M'Allister should be allowed to pass ; what he said was, that she was to be allowed to go with her cargo when there was open water, but that she must have a neutral crew. Another point on which the right hon. gentleman had misunderstood him was this, that if the ship did em bark Sir H. Seymour's effects, the clearance would date after the declaration of war. Sir J. GRAHAM observed that the effects were not em barked. Mr. GIBSON said this was perhaps the very reason why the owners were afraid to embark them. Lord C. HAMILTON wished only to observe that he had the best reasons for knowing that the owners of the Ann M`Allister were by no means satisfied withttelifetpoeseitaisoen of their ship. He held in his hand a stateinieleen .t capped ! eared drawn up by their legal advisers, from w h 1 that the Russian Government having taken intoocconseifdetrha tion the circumstances which leddtiossteheeddeertdonersiotnhat the Ann M'Allister at Cronstadt, .ho 'F as or s eTg n u- a o s ffi sh c e e vessel was to be permitted to sail immeditatteiliye .• ea __oll had been made o could leave. Appli ti ' in London for a lic ense, but an answer was returned signed by Mr. Greville , stating that hat n o licenses were to be granted. He was happy to hear right hon. gentleman s opinion that the want of one would not subject th th e e v v e e s s s s e e l l t w o o d ula tendon, but he could assure the house that the opinion of tho ablest professional men was that have a prize crew put on board Theher and reach this country prize agent.owners were perfectly r•n charge of a e and able to produce evidence substantiating the facts of their case in St. Petersburg, but in this country it might be a matter of much greater difficulty to do so before the Admiralty Courts here, and he could assure the right hon . gentleman that the consignees and agents were in great trepidation as to the fate of the ship. He wished to know from the Government whether there was any founda tion for the extraordinary rumour spread with such great a vidity in this metropolis, to the effect that the goods of Sir Hamilton Seymour had been confiscated by the Russian Government. He had constantly expressed his entire disbelief in this rumour, to which he regretted that any countenance should have been given by the lan guage that fell from Sir Hamilton Seymour at the Man sion-house dinner. The delay which had arisen in for warding the effects of our late ambassador was attributable not to any proceeding of the Russian Government, but to the obstruction created by the ice. Lord D. STUART did not rise to carry on the discussion to which the noble lord had just invited them, respecting the effects of Sir H. Seymour. It seemed to him that that was a subject of very minor importance. Though he did not wish by any means to be unjust to tho Emperor of Russia he had no hesitation in declaring that that potentate had committed sufficiently numerous acts of perfidy, cruelty, faithlessness, and ambitious aggression to enable them to dispense with the accusation as to Sir H. Seymour's carpet-bags. They could very well afford to give it up, but if it even were true that the Emperor of Russia had not descended to the meanness of confiscating the property in question, he did not think that his Majesty's character would be whitewashed, or that he would be regarded other wise than as he (Lord D. Stuart) and, he believed, the whole civilised world regarded him , as one who had shon]: himself dangerous to the public welfare of Europe. - Loped the noble lord the member for London and hie tole leagues would forgive him for being anxious to draw the - attention of the house to the subject of the war, inasmuch as there was, not only in that house, but throughout the country, the deepest anxiety felt in reference to its con duct. Having witnessed so much vacillation and weak ness previous to the declaration of war, it was quite natu ral that the public should feel some doubt whether the hands in which power was placed would carry it on with sufficient vigour or not. With respect to the proceedings of our fleet in the Black Sea, taking oven the account of them which was given by the British officers themselves, he doubted whether the instructions given with so much apparent stringency bad been carried out. The orders, as given in the blue-books, were that the allied squadrons should interrupt all the maritime communications of the Russians with the different parts of their own coast. Yet, in defiance of these orders, it appeared that troops had been withdrawn from the forts on the Circassian coast to the Crimea without our interfering to prevent it. Some quib ble was raised, no doubt, as to the ships employed by the Russians being post-office packets, and not men-of-war - but when it was said that the Ruesian ships were not to be allowed to come out of Sebastopol, of course all ships be longing to the Russian Government, whether men-of-war or not, must be meant. Then it was said that the ships ins question were actually returning to Sebastopol, as required by the naval instructions of the allies, and that we could not interfere with thorn. But he would ask, if there had been proper vigilance on the part of the naval commanders, might not these Lips have been met as well on their way from Sebastopol and eircassia as on their return from Cireassics to Sebastopol -It was also • tree that Russian ships had gone from Sebastopol end bombarded Fort St. Nicholas, which was in possession ,of the Turks. What, then, became of the grandiloquent orders to the fleets to enter the Black Sea and sweep every hostile sail front its waters ? Such a mandate, issued, but not carried into effect, was not calculated to raise our character in the eyes of the world, but tended rather to snake the policy of our Government and our naval prowess a laughing-stock to Europe. No military operation had yet been set on foot, and there was an entire lack of all the preparations necessary to enable us to commence war with rapidity and vigour. - Whilst the Turk s had b e en fighting with incomparale bravery against their enemies on the Danube, our infantry had been eating oranges at Malta, and our cavalry waiting for ships to convey them to the scene of action. Why, he asked, had the commander-in chief of the expedition, with his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, been engaged in receiving entertain ments in the French capital, or in journeying to offer in cense at the imperial nuptial, in Vienna? When at length we tardily sent this force to Turkey, they were sta tioned at Gallipoli, instead of being despatched to any point where they could render effective service to the Turks. If they were destined to reinforce Omer Pacha, Varna would appear to be a place in every respect better adapted for their reception. Suppose the Russians invaded Scotland, and we sent for a French army to assist us, at Torbay • should we be satisfied if they only landed and entrenched proceedings jUbraycO rni lig nand h e a r c s l aadnvdertheed could de not dila help tory thinking that it would have been muchthe e r b e is z a ._ better minder-in-chief l e ee _ e much earlier in the - (Hear, hear.) It could not• be said that the troops were not wanted, for there was a very greatelanger of the Turks • • being overwhelmed by the superior' forces of the Rus ,giwas His remarks, however, did net apply personally in the least degree to those commanders, so as to conv ey censure. He was only expressing surprise at the. conduct of the Government, and wishing that those matters might he explained, so that the country might be satisfied • that we were carrying on this just and necessary war with all due vigour. This was not a comrnon.war s . The house • would recollect that the noble lord (Lord J. - Russell) re cently said " it was the battle of civilisation against barba rism, - w a r for the maintenance of the independence of Europe." A war for such a great purpose as that ought to . be conducted with earnestness, and no means ought to be omitted to carry it to a successful Conclusion. ,When such great interests were at stake , n ot only to Europa but to tho • World at large, this was no time for slow or hesitating mea sures. We saw Omer Pacha left to struggle as best ho Might against the superior forces of the Russians, whilst we heard of „English and French troops being landed and entrenched' at' Gallipoli. We heard;" tee,' of 'noble and gallant officers sleeping under tents with their ladies. 'those were circumstances which showed that the war was not to be carried on in earnest, and. that evAewere doing nothing more than playing at "the game of brag s " After the bale of Oltenitza, Omer Pacha might easily have marched to Bucharest. • The Russians had' but a small force to oppose him ; they expected that ho would do so ; and there was undoubted testimony to show that Gorts chakoff so completely expected a forward movement on the part of Omer Pacha, which he would then have been unable to withstand, that he was ready at his door to be conveyed away. The country inquired what was the reason of this hesitation in carrying on the war— this absence of vigorous measures? Was it that the Government were in hopes that Austria would at last " make a forward movement ? That would be a volicy un iwiso and pusillanimous on the part of the Goyernment ; and they might be sure that it was pot . byanreomplireents It of • :Austria, 'for the pr the4nwortid:indt , wound ch r.tten , ecese ,y L .

White Sea are never open so early as the 15th May, suck order in council will be extended in point of time to the actual opening of the navigation in those seas respectively? Mr. CARDWELL said, in answer to the question of his. honourable friend, he could only state what had been al ready stated in the course of the evening, that no licenses are granted to any persou at all to change the operation of the maritime law. With regard to the order of the 15th. of April extending the time to Russian vessels to the 15th of May, that was intended only to apply to Russian ships for the purpose of enabling them to return home. With reference to English vessels, it was not intended to make any change in the general operation of the law. His hon. friend would excuse him giving any legal opinion on this subject. Ho would only refer to a particular case, that of the Ann M'Allister, the facts being known. By the general law of nations a ship so situated was entitled to. come home at such time as the state of the ice enabled her to do so. Therefore there was no occasion whatevi sr to make any change with regard to English vessels ; but; this change was made with reference to Russsian vessel be up to a limited time, to enable them to carry home their • ear goes. Mr. H. BAILLIE said the noble lord opposite (Lord. D. Stuart) seemed to think it was a matter of no importtence whether or not a grave calumny against the Emperor of Russia should be contradicted iu that house. He entin sly differed from the noble lord. Lord D. STUART explained that what he said was ti tat it was a matter of much less importance than many others; not that it was a matter of no importance. Mr. H. BAILLIE (resuming) said he thought the con duct of the press, in seizing on every idle rumour for the purpose of vilifying the Emperor of Russia, was most dis creditable. With respect to the idle rumour in reference to Sir H. Seymour and the Emperor of Russia, he :pre sumed, as her Majesty's Government had not exprellsed any opinion on the subject, they were prepared to act mit the statement of his noble friend (Lord C. Hamilton)„ which he made on good authority, and there was not the slightest pretext for that idle rumour. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY wished to make an observation in reference to the removal of the troops from the forts of' the Russians in their own territory, which boarded upon_ Circassia. lie apprehended the clear and distinct answer to. the reflections made on the British admiral in regard to that subject was that i t was impossible at that time for the British admiral to act iu any other way than he did. Until there was a clear declaration of war, no such hostile opera tions on his part could have been entered upon as had been suggested. The question might arise 'whether the declara tion of war was not too long delayed, but until that decla ration was made, it must be manifest that the British . admiral could not in any way molest the Russians in transporting their troops from one portion of their territory to another. wasd take that opportunity of saying, ae the country. now at war, he trusted some attention would be paid by the Government to the water communi cation on the Danube, as bearing on the mode of supplying the Russian army with provisions and stores during the war. It would be remembered thatinthe nta of n theieftilnp naiignßngisahareert s lS e 2 a B , -2 5 9 h , 0 alhthadougthheßguresasiteaswtwaspossessionifintyin maintaining up s r ee m erse y, uasaa( s try m e d al tp l hrao a tl s it i s t iiioo w n a su s tiot c o o ra m i ml p a ar prgo a es t s iv aibr e mi l l y iyt ; yo a f n he r. a w of fd Russians, which fi inwghtit ly would result by interrupting their water communications, would be enough to paralyse any effort s th ey m i g ht ma k e to take possession of Constantinople.

That appeared to him to be a suggestion well worthy the attention of those who had the direction of those matters. Mr. F. FRENCH wished to know what despatches had been sent from this country to our Minister at Constanti nople since the passage of the Danube by the Russians, and since the complaint made by Omer Pacha, of not having re ceived proper reinforcement from the allies? Ho wished to know also whether it was true that a statement had been made by Omer Pacha, that if he was not reinforced by the Turkish power, and sustained by the English and French allies, it would be necessary for him to withdraw his troops from the Balkan and concentrate them around Adrianople? Mr. DANBY SEYMOUR said he believed, from the accounts ho had heard, that all through the Greek pro vinces there was very great oppression of the Greek from s by the Turks. He might state that recently, in pa ssi Alexandria to Trieste, in a steamer, he wet a considerable number of Dalmatians on board, who in di g nantly com plained of the treatment they had received at the hands of i t t il h e her mother the Turks, and expressed the strew sympathy t p h a e r y t f o e f lt th ill e consequence with the Russians.
