But supposing the law , cerrett, po3ing th e Chi r e se t o h ave b een ten t i mes ac tziong eislithee have been —supposing their insults to have been aggravated and repeated—l say the course that has been taken by oar representativ e there is ono which I fully expected to have heeid disowned and censer,fd by the Government, instead of being praised, and described as marked by great for bearance. (Hear, heer.) Thera is no question that this Arrow was carrying a man in the Chinese waters who we* charged, and justly charged, with acts of piracy. He was seized ; the crew were seized with him. Upon the demand of the British consul the Chinese authorities offered to surrender the crew, retaining the man seized for perjury. I say that in that case, whatever might be the inadequacy of the reparation whatever the inadequacy of the satis faction offered—it was a case in which the British repre sentative ought to have received back the man, to have expressed his dissatisfaction at the inadequacy of the reparation, and before he proceeded to acts of violence, to have applied for orders to the Government at home. (Hear.) Instead of that, what does he do ? He takes upon himself to enter upon hostilities of the most aggravated description. (Hear.) He not only destroys and demolishes the forts, with very little resistance from those unfortu nate Chinese, but he goes a step further, and in the exer cise of that forbearance so muoh lauded by her M a j es t y ' s Ministers—(hear) —in a time of p •ace—for no war had been legally proclaimed—l believe without notice—by his own authority, without the sanction of the Crown, he proceeds to order the a d m i ra l upon the station—to do what ? You took great cre dit, i n the time of the late war, for your humanity i n s p ar i ng Od essa . (Hear.) You were told that that town w a s f u ll o f m ilit ar y stores and the munitions of war. " No (you said), it is contrary to the usage of civil ised nations to destroy a commercial town." You pushed the prin c ipl e of humanity I think too far. You spared Odessa ; you would not bombard Odessa even in the height of a war in which the powers of this country were taxed to the uttermost. (Hear ) While here, in a little petty war, undertaken without the sanction of the • town, without any legal declaration of war, you not only destroy the forts, but you bombard a peaceable town, and commit indiscriminate slaughter—(hear) —a town with which you have had no relations but those of commerce—a town which could afford no support to your enemy—a town the destruction of which is an act of signal cruelty, and an act almost as destructive of your own pecuniary and commercial interests as of thee of the Chinese. (Hear.) Then lam told that this bom bardment of a peaceful town, under an unlawful war, not declared by the crown, not having the sanction of the mi nisters of the crown, is an sect of signal forbearance on the part of the authorities thdre. (saar.) Upon this trans action I would fain draw a veil, and await the beneficial results th at to ensue. At all events if those results are to flow, they have, perhaps, been the real object of the hostilities; and then you have gone to war upon a false pretence. (Hear.) But Ido not believe that you will gain by it. I doubt very much whether such a treaty will be the result as will benefit or increase your trade, which, as we have been told by the seconder of the address, has in creased to such an extraordinary extent in the last few years. If you want to cultivate good relations with these people, and to overcome their reluctance to receive outside barbarians and treat them as friends, certainly to burn their houses over their heads and indiscriminately massacre them is not the way to do it. (Hear.) I have now gone through the topics of the Apeech. It is not my intention . . to move any amendment, or to interfere with - the unani mity of the house in adopting the address, which I presumes will be sa framed as to allow us to do so. But while I re- joice in the prosperity of the country announced by her Majesty, and which with some exceptions I believe to be a correct representation of the case, I cannot but see in the foreign policy of this country—which I lament to see occu pies so large a space in the speech —another illustration of that meddling spirit and that desire of uncalled-for interference with foreign countries which have so often characterised the proceedings of ' the noble viscount at the head of the Government, which cannot raise our character or procure us friends among foreign coun tries, and which— if anything can do it—will interfere, by its perpetual disturbance of our commercial relations, with that which, I trust, will long be the growing and increasing prosperity of our commerce. I cannot approve of the course pursued by the Government ; but I forbearexpress ing any positive opinion on any of the questions I have a 1- verted to, because that opinion may be, I trust it will be, modified by the papers which her Majesty's Government will lay before Parliament. (Hear, hear.) • The Earl of CLARENDON—My lords, I cannot brit ex press my regret that the noble earl opposite should so far h ave departed from that practice which he so much eulogised— and that he should not have abstained from a discussion of questions relating to our foreign policy, and that, in the ab sence of information which will shortly be laid before the house, he should have dwelt at each length, and with so much vituperation, upon the acts of the Government. The objects of the noble earl would have been better served, and he would have better adhered to the practice of Parlia ment, if he had waited for those papers which will in A short time be in his hands. It is impossible for any one who listened to the noble earl's speech not to have felt the want of those papers, containing, as they would, informa tion of which, at present, their lordships were not in pos session. Before I proceed to offer some observations upon what has fallen from the noble earl, I must express my agreement with him in what he has said as to the import ance and propriety of not permitting any word of disre spect or bitterness of feeling to fall from your lordships against the great Powers with which we were so recently at war—and it is not my intention, nor was it the inten tion of my noble friend who moved the Address, and no member of your lordships' house will, I hope, so far forget what is due to the dignity of this country. My lords, with respect to the differences which took place in the execu. tion of the Treaty of Paris, they arose in consequence of there being only one " Bolgrad" marked upon the maps , and that Bolgrad was to be retained by Russia, because it was the chef ville, or capital, of the Bulgarian colony. The line which was drawn out for the boundary was but a mere deflection, to accede to the wishes of the Russian plenipotentiary, and did not in any way interfere with the objects which the Conference had in view ; and, in fact, of so little importance was it thought, that to have refused -would have been nothing but a discourtesy. (Hear, hear.) Nothing more was heard upon the subject until the boun dary commissioners had arrived;in the neighbourhood, and. therb the Russian commissioners claimed a right to draw a line south of another Bolgrad, or a new Bolgrad, which had not been heard of before, because that was the Bol grad; but this Bolgrad was not only not known to the Congress, but had it been ceded to Russia, it would have given her an importance, and would have enabled her to defeat the objects of the treaty. This Bolgrad was not known to the Conference at Paris, but Russia proceeded in her claim to this town, and she was told that if this Bolgrad had been ceded, as it turned out not to be the capital of the country, she had no right to profit by the error. A great. deal of correspondence took place between this country and Russia, and it was asserted that she had no claim to the New Bolgrad, and one which the previous contracting parties would not agree to give Russia, because it would bring her in connection with, and give her undue power on, the Danube, and would cut off a portion of Moldavia; and further, it would, so far from settling any question, only be the means of giving a fresh impetus to new diffi culties. It was quite clear that the new Conference would not settle the matter, and the only plan, therefore to adopt was, to use a phrase, to make asettlement of it out of came. The Emperor of the French proposed a plat; which was agreed toby the several parties, end which wasbyno means making the concession supposed by the noble earl, because both Bolgrads now remain to Moldavia, and the objects of the treaty are fulfilled. Russia is not, as the noble earl asserts, any nearer the Danube than before, but she ob tains a small concession of territory on her Bulgarian frontier. The territory conceded by Russia was altoge ther conceded to Moldavia, but as Moldavia has no ports or ships to maintain order at the month of the Danube, the Porte attached great importance to those islands at the delta of the Danube. All the protocols recording the acts ef the Conferences which met at Paris, not to arrange these matters, but to confirm what had been previously ar ranged, will shortly be laid upon the table of this house, and will be accompanied by an explanatory map, showing clearly what has been done in the way of concession. I rejoice to say that the termination of the Conferences has given satisfaction to all parties. (Hear, hear.) I next come to the question of Neuchatel. and I agree that those men who embarked on that reckless enterprise of the 4th September —an enterprise which contained within itself ne one single chance of success—(hear)—were influenced by the purest motives, and were stimulated by the feelings of loyalty.. (Hear, hear.) Ido net wish to enter into any details upon this subject, as negotiations are now going on ; and I should be extremely sorry to allow any word of mine to interfere with the settlement ef a question in which we are not directly interested. I should deeply regret that any expression of mine, or any imr prudent utterance of opinion, should mar the success . of thesenoble earl negotiations. has whatever; and did a suspension of the settlement of . t he q 1832, to which the alluded, he settled protocol nothing of de facto Government should do, because so long as the becamefor the difficalt it re mained in Switzerland the more . did not in any way settle that which it was intended it by himself, an d f or the obtain a peaceable recognition of- its the other powers claims. The only result the Conference could have would King of Prussia to settle the question be to authorise the King of Prussia to coerce the Swiss. It wee , found that it was not probable that the Neuchate lois would recognise the claims of the King of Prussia, and settled noble earl th therefore, if the Conference had been called tog ether, it e ag g a n in e s e t . 'y Government, t to the charge that made i t b by e the could only have been to authorise measures of force ; but tion, the most direct and unqualifi e d contrad i ction. If he had said that measures have b een t a k en for the Roya list prisoners to be sot at liberty, the noble have earl would have been correct ; but we could give no such instructions to our representatives ' • that was a ma t ter of which Switzer. land itself could alone be the • jud e g If the prisoners were locally under a Government • which they thought illegitis mate, yet having been eight ear had no right t o re iort to insurrection Ystinde a r n its protection, they , d by bloo dshed and civil w ar d es t roy i ts authority. Such acts must of coarse be submitted to judicial investigation ; and we could not call upon the Confederation to set these wen unconditionally at liberty. It was, however, thought that the King of Prussia might be able to induce the Confederation to forego what was plainly their right with respect to these prisoners. The King of Prussia made known to the Emperor of the French what his intentions were. But for our part, we ab stained from giving the Confederation any assurance what. ever. We merely suggested to the Swiss Government whether their interests might not be better promoted by a liberation of those prisoners, and we united our efforts with those of other Powers to bring about a settlement of the question. Yet wo made no " pledge"—we gave no " assur ance" whatever—nor did we encourage the Swiss Govern ment to resist the claims of the King of Prussia. The noble earl has condemned both the language and the motives of the Congress. He says wo held out hopes to Sardinia that we have not fulfilled—that we promised uncertain advan tages if she joined us. This is the first time I have heard of that in my life. (Hears hear.) No such promise was made ' - no thing was said by us, excep t as to t h e m oney which Sardinia required to enable her to mend her army Us the East. I say we were justified in using the laugusg* we held at Paris. We should have been liable to Pub cen sure if, as representatives of th e grea t P o wers o f Europe at the Paris Congress, we had omitted that o pportunity of calling attention to th e s t a t e o f It a ly, and had refrainedt from protesting ag a i ns t th e sta t e o f h er Governments ; b u t I entirely agree with what the noble earl stated, that it e r inexpedient and dan g e rou s for any one State t o inte if e with the condition of another State ; but, if ever there was an occasion for departiug from a general rule, that was the one, and the exception was justified by the then state of Italy. (Hear, hear.) It was for the interest of humanity' and for the advantage of the people of that country, and it LONDON, WEDNESDAY vj NS F FEBRU A 11.. Y 4, 18b7. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.-YESTERDAY. The fifth session of the fourth Parliament o: Queen Victoria was opened yesterday by Royai Commission. The ceremony was, of course, of a purely formal character. The presence of Vie Sovereign, which gives eclat to all public acts of a ceremonial charac ter, was wanting on this occasion, and the House of Lords presented anything but the imposing appearance which it always wears when peers and peeresses, the diplomatic corps, and the illustrissimi of the land assemble to greet the Sovereign at the openii.g of a new session. The severity of the weather also tended to keep away many who would otherwise have been present at the ceremony. The doors of the house were thrown open at one o'clock, when some 50 or GO ladies were admitted to the third and fourth row of benches usually occupied by peers. The attendance of peers was limited to six. Of these five took their seats on the lower bench near est the throne on the Opposition side of the cham ber. Lord Willoughby d'Eresby, Lord Berners, and Lord Erne were among the number. The only peer on the Government bench was Earl Cowper. The Bishop of Lincoln attended in his place to say prayers. half-past one the great bell of Westminster commenced a rather solemn peal, and continued to thunder forth its summons in anything but jocund strains till two o'clock, when the Lords Com missioners, preceded by the Usher of the Black nod, made their appearance in the house, and took their seats in front of the throne. The Lords Commissioners were the Lord Chan cellor, the Duke of Argyll, Lord Stanley of Alder ley, the Kul of Harrowby, and Earl Spencer. The Royal Commission having been read, her Majesty's faithful Commons were summoned by Sir Augustus Clifford, and the Speaker, accom panied by Lord Palmerston, Mr. Bouverie, Mr, Roebuck, Mr. Bowyer, Sir S. Big no ld, Si r . W. Clay, Mr. Hindley, Mr. Scott, Mr. Swift, Mr. Oliveira, Colonel Dunne, Mr. Otway, Mr. Crau furd, and about a hundred other members appear ed at the bar. The Lord Chancellor then read the following speech : MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, We are commanded to assure you that her Majesty has great satisfaction in recurring again to the advice and assistance of her Parlianient. We are commanded by her Majesty to inform you that difficulties, which arose in regard to some of the provisions of ths Treaty of Paris, delayed the complete execution of the stipulations of that treaty. Those difficulties have been overcome in a satisfactory manner, rnd the intentions of the treaty have been fully maintained. An insurrectionary movement which took place in September last in the Swiss Canton of Neuchatel, for the purpose of re-establishing in that Canton the authority of the King of Prussia as Princ© of Neuchatel, led to serious differences between his Prussian .111Ljesty and the Swiss Confederation threatening at one time to disturb the general peace of Europe. But lier Majesty commands us to inform you that, in concert with her august ally the Emperor of the French, she is endeavourim4 to bring about an amicable settlement of the matters in dispute, and her Majesty entertains a confident expectation that an honourable and satisfactory arrangement will be concluded. In consequence of certain discussions which took place during the Conferences at Paris, and which are recorded in the Protocols that were laid before you, her Majesty and the Emperor of the French caused communications to be made to the Govern ment of the King of the Two Sicilies, for the pur pose of inducing him to adopt a course of policy calculated to avert dangers which might disturb that peace which had been so recently restored to • Europe. Her Majesty commands us to inform you, that the manner in which those friendly communications were received by his Sicilian Majesty was such as to lead her Majesty and the Emperor of the French to discontinue their diplomatic relations with his Sicilian Majesty, and they have, accordingly, withdrawn their missions from the Court of Naples. Her Majesty has directed that papers relating to this subject shall be laid before you. Her Majesty commands us to inform you that she has been engaged in negotiations with the Go vernment of the United States, and also with the Government of Honduras, which she trusts will be successful in removing all cause of misunderstand ing with respect to Central America. Her Majesty has concluded a Treaty of Friend ship and Commerce with Siam, which will be laid before you. Her Majesty commands us to express to you her regret that the conduct of the Persian. Govern ment has led to hostilities between her Majesty and the Shah of Persia. The Persian Government, in defiance of repeated warnings, and in violation of its engagements, has besieged and captured she important city of Herat. We are commanded by her Majesty to inform y©u that a British naval and military force de spatched from Bombay has taken possession of the Island of Karrack, and of the town of Bushire, with a view to induce the Shah to accede to the just demands of her Majesty's Government. Her Majesty has seen with satisfaction that the naval and military forces employed on this occasion have displayed their accustomed gallantry and spirit. Her Majesty commands us to inform you that acts of violence, insults to the British flag, and in fraction of Treaty rights, committed by the local Chinese authorities at Canton, and a pertinacious refusal of redress, have rendered it necessary for her Majesty's officers in China to have recourse to measures of force to obtain satisfaction. Those measures had, up to the date of the last accounts, been taken with great forbearance, but with signal success as regards the conflicts to which they had led. We are commanded to inform you that her Ma jesty trusts that the Government of Pekin will see the propriety of affording the satisfaction de manded, and of faithfully fulfilling its treaty en gagements. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUS➢ OF COMMONS, Her Majesty has directed the Estimates for the ensuing year to be laid before you. They have been prepared with every attention to economy, and with a due regard to the efficient performance of the public service at home and abroad. Mr LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, Her Msjesty commands us to inform you that Bills will be submitted to your consideration for the consolidation and the amendment of important por tions of th,3 law ; and her Majesty doubts not that you will give your earnest attention to matters so deeply affecting the interests of all classes of her subjects. Her Majesty cpmmands us to recommend to your consideration the expediency of renewing for a further period the privileges of the Bank of Eng land, the conditions imposed on the issue of bank notes in the United Kingdom, and the state of the law relating to Joint-stock Banks. Her Majesty commands us to express. the grati fication which it affords her to witness the general well-being and contentment of her people, and to find that, notwithstanding the sacrifices unavoid ably attendant upon such a war as that which has lately terminated, the resources of the country re main unimpaired, and its productive industry con tinues unchecked iu its course of progressive de velopment. Her Majesty commits with confidence the g re a t interests of th e coun t r y to your wisdom and care, and she fervently prays that the blessing of Al mighty God may attend your deliberations, and prosper your councils for the advancement of the welfare and happiness of her loyal and faithful people. At the conclusion of the Royal Speech the Speaker retired, and prayers were read by the bishop The ofLinco ln ' ceremony did not occupy more than half•an hour. Their lordships re -assembled at five o'clock. THE NEW BISHOPS. The Bishops of London and Gloucester took the oaths and their seats as spiritual peers. Their lordships were introduced by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Earl of CARDIGAN gave notice that on Thurs day next he should put certain questions to the Secretary of State for the War Department connected with the late war. Lord BERNERS gave notice that on an early day he should move for a return of the number of tickets-of leave granted since the introduction of the system. He thought that the apprehension of the public with respect to the subject would justify the motion, as it was re ported that to 15,000 convicts no less than 5,000 tickets of-leave had been granted. The return he should wish to contain the nature of the crimes committed by the persons to whom tickets-of-leave had been granted. The LOUD CRANCgLLOR then read her Majesty's gracioas Speech to the house, which, at this moment, presented a very animated appearance. The Ministerial bench was occupied by the Earl of Harrowby, the Earl of Clarendon, the Duke of Argyll, Lord Pam - Imre, Earl Granville, the Marquis of Lans downe, and Lord Stanley of Alderley. The Opposition benches were also very fully occupied. cf the Government, and in the assurance that the tax was essentially a war tax, a vast instrument,' of vast effect, which should . exhibit to foreign countries the resources and power of this country in time of war, but which ought never to be allowed to remain in time of peace—to be res )rced to as an instrum en t o f d angerou s facility in the hands of a minister. This, my lords, is a subject in which you have a strong personal interest, in addition to your regard for the public welfare; and I cannot nass on without expressing a confid en t h o p e th a t P ar li a ment will insist on a full and entire carrying out of the pledge —that in 1860 the income tax should c;aeo to be imposed. (Hear, hear, hear.) I now, my lords, proceed to a far more unsatisfactory portion of the speech. I cannot but regret the good old days in wh'ss4 a stereotyped paragraph of the Royal speech a ssure d us t oo t " hi s or h er Majesty continued on the most friendly terms with all foreign Powers." I venture to say th a t that single para.- graph would afford more satisfaction to the people of this country, and more security for the peace of Europe, th an the multitudinous references to disputes more or less near a satisfactory termination. The only subject to which her Majesty could refer with unmixed satisfaction is the im portant fact of the treaty with the King of Siam. Ido not wish to speak with any disrespect of the present mo narch. I believe he is of great intelligence, and fully im pressed with the advantages to be derived from an inter course with this country; and I am always rejoiced at an extension of our commercial transactions, and the open ing of a new outlet for the products of our industry. Her Majesty has also referred to the difficulties which have arisen with regard to some of the conditions of the treaty of Paris ; and she has told us that these difficul ties have been overcome, and the intentions of the treaty fully attained. My lords, as we are now at peace—and I trust in Got that peace will long remain—l cannot but regret that the noble earl should have indulged in some remarks not very complimentary to the good faith of the potentate with whom we have lately been at war. I have always! _thgneelet, ited_alwaye sty, tw when engaged Le i war we were boundlo - peoseEtite it with the utmost energy and vigour. I was nut satisfied with the results of the war, nor with the peace which appears to give so much , satisfaction to the noble earl and to her Majesty's Govern ment; but now that peace has been definitively concluded, let me remind the noble earl, who, I hope, is now com mencing a long career of public usefulness, that from the time peace is made not one word of bitterness to our late enemy should come from him. lam told, but I can hardly credit it till I hear it from the noble earl himself, that the main difficulty in the carrying out of the treaty of Paris did not arise upon the interpretation of some doubtful phrase as to the delimeation of the boundary, but from the fact that the map which was to be the authoritative record of the future boundary of the terri tory was not made a part of the instrument itself, or re ceived the signature of any one of the plenipotentiaries. Why, if it was a contract for the purchase of a field, you would make the map by which the boundaries were defined as a portion of the instrument itself. Yet, on a question which was to settle the boundaries of empires, it does not appear that there was any authoritative instrument on which the plenipotentiaries had to rely for their interpreta tion. If this be so, I do nit think it creditable to the fore aightedness or the business-like habits of the Government. I recollect the tone and language not of that portion of the press which is supposed to be under the influence of the Government—but the tone and language of the First Lord of the Treasury himself—the language which he held at Manchester with regard to compelling the Emperor of Russia to maintain his good faith, to fulfil the treaty to the very letter, and saying that he would a:low no discus sion of the treaty, which must to fulfilled in the sense in which England understood it. (Rear, hear.) He alluded to the fleet in the Black Sea, and told his hearers that he would insist on a liberal fulfilment of the terms of the treaty. Bat, acting a .der the advice and per haps something more, of his allies, the noble viscount, who • would not abate a hair's-breadth of his demand, was com pelled to refer the question to a conference, and though he obtained his own construction at the treaty, he only did so at the expense of a further cession of territory beyond that proposed in the original conference. (Rear.) I hope this treaty may be satisfactory; but I trust that peace having been restored, there will be a faithful adherence to the letter and spirit of the treaty, and that we shall not have, either from public men, or in the journals, intempe rate language or violent abuse of those who were lately opposed to us, and thereby interpose serious obstacles to the maintenance of friendly relations. (Hear.) I cannot but regret also that the noble earl Should characterise as paltry and miserabletue insurrection of those misguided men—for misguided I t'aink they were-- , -who rose to sup port what they considered the rights of their lawful, sove reign iu the canton of Neuchatel. Misguided and erroneous as I think they were, and unfortunate as have been their efforts, I never heard any one throw doubt on the purity of the motives or the sense of loyalty by which these men were actuated—(hear, hear)—and even though there were faults and errors, I think that feeling of loyalty should not be spoken lightly of in any country. (Hear) Not only was there the expectation that this dispute was about being brought to a satisfactory conclusion, but that it hat been a'ready satisfactorily concluded, but I regret to find that it is not altogether settled.. With regard to the claim of the King of Prussia, I may be permieted to say a few words, because I had the honour of being the Minister of the Crown when the protocol on the question of Neuchatel was signed. I beg of year lordships te look back to the state of Europe at the time of the signature of that protocol. France was in a most restless and unquiet state. The, words " c'est la pada" were not yet uttered. The public mind of Europe was greatly agitated. Piedmont, Switzerland, and Belgium were in great alarm about the de mands for the expulsion of the refugees, which they consi dered to be inconsistent with- national honour and inde pendence. The time was critical for the peace of Europe, and I must say it was a matter of satisfaction to the GO vernment with which I was connected that by their good offices, and I must say by the moderation of the parties on both sides, this question was satisfactorily settled. But justat that time we wet() called on by the King of Prussia —not to take active steps in his behalf, not to enforce his rights as Prince of Neuchatel—but to recognise the exist ence, de jure, of certain rights, not well defined, which he claimed over Neuchatel. Observe that these rights were guaranteed and secured to the King of Prussia as Prince of Neuchatel—for Prussia, as a kingdom, was not in the slightest degree interested in the question by the treaty of 1816, a treaty which it was of the .utmost importance to the peat* of Europe at the time to preserve from the possibility of beinginfringed in the slightest degree. The arrangement with the King of Prussia was, that if we ad mitted on the one hand the existence of his elejure rights, he on the other hand was to enter into an engagement not to disturb the peace of Europe by the enforcement of those rights. No arrangement could be more harmless in itself, and none was more likely to tend, first, to the immediate preser vation of peace, and next, to an ultimate settlement of the question. Ido not blame the Government that from that time to this they have taken no steps towards a complete settlement of that question, though I think that when they were dealing with other questions inthe Conference of Paris ' it might have been well to have considered this. But they did not do so, and the present complication has resulted. I believe that the King of Prussia was willing to place the question unreservedly in the hands of the Emperor of the French, and that Switzerland was on the point of accepting his mediation if it were not for the representations whim were made by the British Government. It lam correct in assuming, as I believe I am, that Switzerland was encou raged to demand higher terms than were proposed, and to refuse the arbitration of the French Government, by the act of our Minister, I cannot but think, though her Majesty may rejoice that in concert with her august ally the question is on the point of being settled, if her Majesty's Government had not interfered with het august ally, the question would have been much earlier aed snore satisfac torily settled. (" Hear," and laughter.) With regard to the question of Central America, I am glad to find it is on the point of being honourably and satisfactorily settled. We have but few interests there. We have to fulfil our honourable engagements to the Mosquito Indians, what ever they may amount to, and to secure the neutrality of that passage which may ultimately turn out to be the mode of communication through the isthmus; but be yond these we have no interest whatever. and need not be jealous of the advance of others. The sacrifice of Ruatan and the other islands in that quarter is, I think, well com pensated by the advantages of a general arrangement. That arrangement, I presume, will be concluded, as it only awaits the ratification of the senate of the United States. But in the improbable, yet possible, case of the senate refusing to ratify that treaty, I hope the Govern ment will be able to inform me that the surrender of Ruatan is to form part of the general arrangement— that the two treaties—the one for the orarrender of the islands, and the other respecting the protection of the Mosquito Indians and the passage of the Isthmus—are to stand or fall to gether, and that we are not to be bound by the one if we are not to obtain the advantage of the other. (Hear.) I now turn to other topics of difficulty which crowd upon us, and will continue to crowd upon us as long as the noble viscount is at the head of affairs—(laughter)—be cause, admitting as I do the extraordinary adroitness by which he gets out of difficulties, I cannot but ima gine that the fact of his gettiug out of difficulties with into as inspires him with the desire of g ettin g as many as possible. (Hear, and laughter.) I cannot account for the fact in any other way that, whether as the Minister for Foreign Affairs or as the head of the .Govern ment, he has embroiled the flover.?ment first with one country and then with another, not indeed in great wars, but in little difficulties, which the country gets out of with credit or advantage, or with loss or discredit. (Hear, hoar.) With regard to Naples, I . should be glad to see the papers on that subject before coming to a conclusion ; but as far as any judgment can be formed from the means of information we possess, I cannot conceive on what plea her Majesty's Gove rnment can j ustify their course of proceed ing and interference in Naples. Aro we quite sure that our own conduct on all.questions has been straightforward —that we have always held the same language to different nations —that we have not held the word of promise to the ear, an d broken it to the hope: Ha v e the good faith and promises we held out to Sardinia been kept ? Are we cer tain that we have not obtained valuable support from that brave and noble p eo p le b y holding out expectations of our interference, if not by action, at least by moral per suasion, towards the improvement of their condition with regard to the other countries of Italy ? Ara we sure that when we obtained the benefit of their co-operation we gave them that assistance and material support which they calculated on receiving at our hands? I greatly doubt it. (Hear.) I have not forgotten the language of the Sardinian commissioner —I have not forgotten the evasive answer (I don't use the term offensively) with which the noble earl, after six weeks'delay,was compelled to reply to that remonstranceof the Sardinian Government. (Hear.) It is true that the conference of Paris kept the word of pro mise to the ear by introducing some vague and unmeaning passages as to the occupation of the Papal States, but did you take a single step, did you make the slightest effort to press on the Governments of France and Austria to put an end to that, abnormal state of things? (Hear.) I am ono of those who think that it is no part of our business to in terfere in the relations between Austria and her Italian subjects—that it is no part of our business to encourage to revolt, that it is no part of our business to disturb her in her possessions. (Hear.) Good faith required that we should abstain from any such course. But I ask the noble earl to answer me this—has not Austria , by the acts of her allies in the course of these negotiations?ob tamed greater se curity for the maintenance of her Italian possessions than she ever had before? I dotibt if the noble earl will answer in the negative. But, whilst abstaining from taking such steps as might really meet the views of Piedmont, you satisfied the letter . of your engagement of i nterfering in THE ADDRESS. Her Majesty's Speech having been read by the clerk at the table, The Earl of CORK rose to move an humble Ad dress to her Majesty in reply to her most gracious Speech, which had just been read. In doing so! he claimed the indulgence of the house, as this was the first occasion he had had the honour of addressing the house. The noble lord then alluded to the late war in which this country was engaged, in conjunction with the Emperor of the French, against Russia, and to the duplicity wit's which that power acted with respect to he treaty of Paris, and to the attempt Russia had made to retain her power over the Danube Ly the refusal to give up Belgrad, and by the unwarrant able seizure of the Isle of Serpents. It was much to be rejoiced'at that, owing to the firmness with which the Western Powers had acted, she had been compelled to relinquish her unjust acquisitions. The people of this country deserved the greatest praise for the manner in which they had supported the Government in resist. ing Russia, and in obtaining the fulfilment of the Treaty of Paris. He congrapcountry upon the settlement of the Netichatel sikastron;*bitdiodennt time threatened to disturb the peace of Europe, in con sequence of the miserable attempts that had been made at insurrection by Prussia, to establish a sovereignty in a Swiss canton. Having then proceeded to notice the condition of .the Neapolitan states, he ex pressed his deep sympathy with the subjects of such misgovernment as characterised the Two Staines, and he hoped that before long their condition would be ame liorated. The next paragraph in her Majesty's Speech ought to be a matter of general rejoicing, that our rela tions with the United States were now placed upon a friendly and secure footing. With respect to Persia, it was an undeniable fact that the Shah of Persia, in respect to the capture of Herat, left this country no alternative but to vindicate her dignity by a resort to arms. Already the Persian Sovereign had been taught that he could not insult the honour or encroach upon the rights of this country with impunity. The late proceedings at Canton had shown that this country was determined to main tain her rights and independence, and it was to be hoped that matters in this part of the globe would speedily be brought to a satisfactory termination. the noble earl then alluded to Ireland, for the purpose of showing the ex, raordinary advancement that country had made in happiness and prosperity. The noble earl concluded by moving the Address, which was merely an echo of the Royal Speech. The Earl of A IRLIE, in seconding the Address, said could not but be a source of satisfaction that those differences that had existed with respect to the navigation of the Danube had been satis factorily settled. He could not but express his ad miration of the conduct of the Swiss when their territory was attempted to be invaded. The spirit tbey had displayed Was such as to convince Prussia that they were deter mined to resist to the utmost all attempts to infringe on the just rights of their native country. It was a source of gratification to find that a treaty of commerce 'and friendship had been concluded between this country and Siam. (Hear, hear.) Much good unquestionably would arise from such a circumstance. The noble lord having alluded to the paragraph relating tothe taking possession of Karrak and thetown of Bushire. which, he said, had been effected with the usual gal lantry by our naval and military forces, next proceeded Co touch upon the affairs of China He said it was quite unnecessary for him to detain their lordships by detailing the proceedings relative to the seizure of the men ou board the Arrow ; but he felt sure that the steps taken by the British authorities were only those that could be taken after the manner in which the Chinese had violated the arrangements that had been formerly entered into by them with this country. The noble lord, who was but very indistinctly heard, having formally seconded the Address, resumed his seat. The Earl of DERBY—I quite concur with the noble earl who addressed the house this evening for the first time with so muoh modesty and good taste, that in discussing an address which involves so many subjects of great im portance, it is not fit to enter into a lengthened discussion on any one of those topics yet. The speech now before us embraces many subjects on which much difference of opinion exists, and refers to many points, both foreign and domestic, which iu due course will require our most ma ture deliberation ; and for that reason I quite agree that it would be inconvenient to raise a debate on any ono of them at present, when the discussion would be constantly interrupted by the interpolation of some of the numerous other subjects referred to. I think that of late years it has become a laudable practice in Parliament, except on some extraordinary occasion,to concur in the general tenour of the address in answer to the speech from the throne, that address being in point of fact nothing but the respectful expression of our devotion and gratitude to her Majesty on the first occasion of our approaching her. It has been, however, customary for the crown on one side to refer in the speech from the throne to the most material circumstances of public importance which have occurred since Parliament separated, and on the other side for the ministers to set forth in the address the most material measures to which they think it important during the coming session to direct attention of Parliament. Adopting that view of the case, my lords, I can only entertain a hope for the future, that her Majesty's Government have in preparation something more than they promise, for a more meagre bill of fare, or a more vague and shadowy portrait I never remember than that presented in the few paragraphs of the speech which refer to domestic affairs. There is indeed a reference to the general subject of the amendment of the law, which has been before Parliament in repeated sessions, and there is also a reference to another most important subject—the re newal, and period of renewal, of the charter of the Bank if England. As to the law reform, I should be rejoiced to see that the Government acted in a manner which would unite them with those men, who, though not in office, had for so many years devoted themselves to the task, and I ven ture to express a hope that there will be no more difference of opinion between the hi gh legal authorities in this and the other House of Parliament. I observed with some surprise that the noble earl did not at all enter into the question of the Bank charter, but observed a most discreet silence with regard to it. Ido not know whether to con sider this as an additional proof of his discretion, or con clude that his silence was caused by the fact that he did nut know, what to say. I can imagine that the noble vis count at the head of the government, when giving the noble earl his information, told him that the less he said the bet ter, and the less he committed the government, the more satisfactory it would be; and the noble viscount must have been quite satisfied that he would not be committed by the noble earl, for— " He might well believe He would not utter what he did not know." In the paragraph of the speech which referred to the Bank the expediency of was th privileges of the B a nk of renewingchar t er,al f l o u r s allusion nf further made er p t io o d th t r h e e e topic s England, the conditions imposed on the issue of Bank notes in the United Kingdom, and the laws relating to joint stock banks. As to the first and most important question, it does not seem by this that the Government are pledged to the existing state of the law, which I muet confess I do not consider satisfactory, but I do hope that they have made up their minds as to the course they intend to re commend, and that they are not going to launch this great question on the abyss of select committees, nor invite the deluge of pamphlets and correspondence that will issue from the pen of "Mercator" and his contemporaries; but I do trust the Government will, on their responsibility, pro pose a measure which they have deliberately adopted, and that the measure will be settled by Parliament on some plan deliberately submitted to them as the result of the best consideration on the part of the Government. I think I have now averted to all the measures suggested by her Majesty's Government as subjects for legislation. There is, indeed, one paragraph which may lead to very important consequences. It is not addressed to your lordships, but to the other house of Parliament ; but when I l oo k t o the im portance and gravity of the subject,. I canno t thi n k th a t the va gue and meagre reference to it, in th e s t ereotype d f or m of announcing that " the estimates have been prepared with every attention to economy, and due regard to the efficiency of the public," will sufficient to sati s f y t h e ot h er H o use of Parliament in their capacity of guardians of the public purse . (Hear.) We are now at a critical period in our financial history, and the statement to be made this year, and the discussion on it, must be directed not to the pro vision for a single year, but to the adoption of some mature plan of finance. In the year 1853, a very able and com prehensive budget was presented to the other house. I d o no t quite share in the extravagant admiration ex pressed by some for that financial st a t emen t ; b u t it had one great merit, that it took a comprehensive view of the national finance, and it had ono advanta ge w hi c h compen sates for many defects, viz., a positive pledge that after 1860 the income tax should not be retai ne d. (H e ar, hear.) I think Parliame nt w i ll not do its duty if it is satisfied with less than the entire execution of th a t p l e d ge . (near. hear.) .It has been ratified by the act which continued the tax at an increa sed rate for the period of the war, and such further period as thus Government might deem neces sary. T e public gener . ly submitted to the heavy den placed on them, having confidence in the good faith k i [Pmat 40. STAMPED SD• ' the affairs of Italy, and you singled out the kingdom of the two Sici des as the object of your magnanimous interference. What ha .t Piedmont to do with Naples ? You told us that the system of misgovernment in Naples was calcu lated to produce dangers which might disturb the peace of Europe, so recently restored ; bat will the noble earl say v on the part of her Majesty's Government, that he had the slightest apprehension that the course of conduct pursued by the Kiug of Naples towards his subjects had the slightest chance of distuibiue ' the peace of Europe? N e ith er w ill the noble lord say, for he knows it better than I do, that there was the slightest fear of a conflict between Fam) and Austria in Italy. The plea you put forward has nu substance iu it ; your interference partly arose from a sense of the necessity of adhering to declarations previously made, and partly from your inherent love of meddling. (Laughter.) And what are the demende. you made? If you were on friendly terms with the Sovereign, you might represent to him in a friendly manner that he was not pursuing a curse which was calculated to be for his own beeefit or the bene fit of his people. It was taking great liberty to do that even with a most intimate friend, but you cannot say that your intimacy with the King of Naples was such as to jus tify your interfering as you did in his affairs. I ani not a supporter of the tyrannical measures of the King of Na ples. I am not defending the state of things in Naples or iu the Papal States, but I think matters have been made infinitely worse iu Naples, Rome, and Spain by your in terference. What had you to do with Naples, the Papal Government, or Spain ? You are bound toprotect your own subjects in those states; but as between a sovereign and his own subjects, to break off all friendly relations be cause that sovereign does not take your advice is a monstrous proceeding, according to every principle of international law; and no one who understands those principles will get up and defend. it. (Hear, hear.) On what pound, then, have you withdrawn your minister from Naples? lam not to be told that in speaking this I am attacking the policy of France. I have a profound ad miration for the Emperor of the 'Nelkch, not only on ac count of hiiiianeet talents and ability-illlt forThie scrupulous adherence anti fidelity in his engagements with this country. 1 do not think I am going too far when I say that the Em peror of the French is about the only cordial friend you have in Europe ; but the Emperor of the French may fall into errors, and I think he has done so in this case. Whet have you done? You have made certain demands on the King of Naples. He answers in a manner that you consider offensive. But you must recollect the language held towards the King of Naples by that portion of the press which is supposed to receive some of its inspirations from the noble viscount. Was there any term of vituperation which was not applied to him ? (Hear.) We were told that the presence of a few slips kindle a revolution in the country, and make him a fugitive over the face of the eapth. Such was the state of your friendly relations ; and yet after such language you say you regret the King of .'Naples was so ill advised as not to listen to your friendly representations. (Hear, and laughter.) You withdrew your ambassador, and so did the Government .of France, but these ambassadors of two of the greatest nations of Europe walked down stairs, and went away without the slightest excitement or com motion on the part of any human being. No precautions were taken, the King went openly in the streets, but ex cept a miserable attempt at insurrection in Sicily, said to be produced (but that t do not believe) at the instigation of others, which was soon put down, and a wretched at tempt at assassination which ended in the execution of the criminal, this was the whole result of your interference, except that England and France received, and well de served, the affrout they suet with. (Hear.) 1 now come to other topics, and I cannot but regret that we are en gaged in two heavy wars in the east—a war with Persia and a wsr with China. I admit the importance of the iu dependence of Herat, in reference to our 'adieu empire, and lam not going to defend the tortuous and devious policy perdue(' at various times with resitri to Herat by Persia. In 1832, we received a solemn assurance—an assurance not confirmed by the fact—that no attempt would be made on Herat. It was necee,ary, in conse quence of the falsehood of the representations of Persia, to suspend diplomatic relations with the Persian minister in his country; but owing to the co-operation of Russia, then in amity with us, Persia abandoned her attempt upon Herat. In 1853 ma agreement was come to between Col. Shed and the Slut], which was not very clearly expressed, but the effect of that agreement was, I believe, that Per sia was to make no attempt to occupy or invade Herat, and we undertook, on our part, if any attempt was made on Herat by others, to use our moral influence to prevent such an attempt from taking place. In 1816 our new ally and former enemy, Dost Mahomed, advanced towards Herat, and the governor of that place, fearing the designs of that prince, applied to Persia for assistance. The Persiaus advanced, and the ruler of Herne, now fear ing the Persians, applied to the Affghans to defend him against Persia and his own people. Thereupon a conflict took place, in which the Affghans were signally defeated by the Persians, who, in violation of the engage ments they entered into with us, made tlieniSelves masters of Herat. It is not, however, quite clear that under such circumstances the occupation of Herat was a violation of the engagement she male with us. But observe what had been the state of Persia in the intermediate time. Persia, a comparatively weak and powerless empire, found herself between the pressure of two mighty states—Russia and England. During the late war, I believe Persia offered to take a part against Russia if England anti France en- tared into an - alliance to secure her independence against Russia. That ilffer was declined by England i and France, but Persia was required to maintain a strict neutrality. She abstained from attacking Turkey, there fore ; bat when the preponderance of Russia in the East seemed to be secured to Russia by the siege and taking of Kars, thinking that she had more to fear from the hos tility of Russia than of England, she took no great pains to conceal her unfriendly feeling towards this country. Nothing was raore natural at that time than that Russia should stimulate Persia to this course. We would do thp same if we were in the position of Russia. But I am pea suaded of this, that at the present time it is the sincere de sire of Russia not to be involved in any further war with this country, and that for that reason she would exert the whole of her influence in Persia to make that Government comply with the. demands of this country, and keep on friendly terms with as. And for the benefit of both England and Russia, not at the present time only, but in all times, there cannot be anything more advantageous for both coun tries than that, with regard to the countries that intervene, whether Persia or any other country, between our respec tive territories, there should be a perfect understanding. That is an object to be aimed at by every statesman, and the more we are exposed to the encroachments of Russia, the more should it be our object to maintain between the two as large a space of territory, bound neither to the one nor the other, bat which, preventing the Possibility of contact, may prevent the chance of collision. I believe Russia to be deeply impressed with that truth; and though she may have stimulated Persia to harass and insult you when she was your enemy, I believe her efforts now to be in a dif ferent direction ; and I believe that if Persia ever does come into your terms, it will be much more due to the re presentations of Russia than to the effeet of that expedition which, you have sent against her shores. Ido not wish in the slightest degree to depreciate the skill, gallantry, and valour displayed by that small expedition which has so signally succeeded in the Persian Gulf. I think it reflects the highest credit on the Indian Government; audit mast be a souice of sincere satisfaction to my noble and gallant friend behind me, and others who like him, on the ground of age and infirmity, have been placed on the retired list, to know that there are some of then% who are still capable of active service and brilliant exploits. (Hoar.) I must say I heard at first with dismay of the advance, and then with great satisfaction of the retrograde movement of the body of troops which had been sent to co-operate with Dost Ma homed on the other side of Persia. The Earl of CLARENDON gave some explanation across the table. He was understood to say that that force was only sent for a local object. The Earl of DERBY—I certainly look with anxiety to an y movement on that side. However, the papers to be laid on the table will probably throw some light on that and other subjects. Among other points, there is one of importance in a constitution a l poi n t of view deepestitliority by which this war with Persi a was under _thethe taken. I have seen undoubtedly a proclamation of the Governor-General of India, in which he declares war against Persia iu consequence of various grievances ; but I have yet to learn that the Governor-General of India has any constitutional power of proclaiming war upon the part of this country. I have always understood that the 'declare,- tion of war was a part of the prerogative of the Crown-- (hear, hoar)—that it must be proclaimed by the Crown, with certain formalities; and if it had been so pro claimed in this instance, I think it would have been the duty of the Minister of the Crown to have called Parliament together at the earliest possible moment, and have made known to them the circumstances under which her Majesty had been induced to enter upon this war. I can quite understand that when our Indian empire was entirely governed by the East India Company wars undertakeu against native princes, arising out of In dian quarrels, stood on qu it e a different footing, and did not require the sanction of the Crown. But, observe, the royal speech speaks of " British troops" having been sent on this occasion. It treats it, not as an Indian, but as a British war ; and unless I am greatly misinformed, the people of this country are pledged by the acts of the Go wn:nent to every portion of the expenditure of this war, beyond a certain given proportion to be charged upon the resources of India. lam told, also, whatever may be t ofthe opinion of the G overnor -G enera l o f I nn i s , or the Court Directors, about the policy of this war, that it is a w a en tered into by dir ec ti on o f th e G over nment at hoe—that it is not an Indi an war , b u t 'a British war ; an d if so, it ought to have been proclaimed in the o t r i op n r r i a w n l a e y n. I , and t announced at the very earliest moment kno' not what answer the noble earl hastothisiislteltebmaetnatt. I hope that he will be enabled undeceive present my impression is, that ae the war is unfortunate in itself, so the manner of its proclamation is oiniol unconstitu tional, almost unjust. (Hear, hear.) with regard to the war with Persia, it is ten times my opinion with regard to which that ~n n astonishment a g a e t a th in e China. (Hear , hear.) lam lost proceedings which have characterised that war—a war by cou rtesy it may , called, yet accompanied by proce e di ngs unknown in civilised w a rfare, and which I h ear d w i t h u t ter astonishment characterised tf by the nobl e ear l oppos i te as being mark ( d by grea orb ears ace. (Hea r , hear.) What is the case ? Ido not say that the Chinese have not vio lated the treaty; bat I consider it exceedingly doubtful whether that lorcha, the Arrow, was under the protection of the flag of this country. If not, the whole case falls to th e groand. Sir John Bowring aimits that the time for which it was licensed to carry that flag hal expired; but ho says the Chinese did not know that it had e xpired. But what then ? He says again that, by virtue of the colonial registry, she was entitled to the ben fi of that flag till her return from her voyage. Now, I very greatly doubt the legal validity of the colonial register on which Sir John Bowring relies. (Hear.) lam sure that there is infinite danger in permitting to authorities at a very great distance an unlimited power of granting British protection, and thereby enabling the parties enjoying it to claim the in tervention of the British power in their support. My belief is that that colonial registry is of very doubtful validity, inasmuch as it is in , onsistent with, and repugnant to, the law of England; and no principle is more clearly laid down with regard to colonial governments than this—that their acts must not be repugnant to the (Hear, hear.)
