THE SEBASTOPOL COMMITTEE DEBATE. THE debate on Mr. ROEBUCK'S motion for a vote of censure on all the Ministers concerned in the mis management of the war, after two sittings, protracted to an unusual length, has ended without satisfaction to any one. By a majority of more than a hundred the House of Commons has decided that the question I shall not be put ; that, notwithstanding the unanimity with which the Committee agreed upon their report, attributing the disasters in the Crimea to inadequate supplies and inefficient management, no further result shall be arrived at, and that the whole affair shall end as it began, in mere talk. If, however, the debate may be supposed to have any moral effect, independent of any verdict by the constitutional representatives of public opinion, it must be of the most damaging character to the present Ministers. To judge from the tone of their speeches, they assumed an immunity from censure on the ground that the blame belonged wholly to their predecessors ; and Lord PALMERSTON went so far as to assert, that, since he had been Premier, the conduct of the war had been so ably carried out, that the army was in a condition that left nothing to desire. Yet, despite `these assumptions, which if true would have entitled the Ministers to great praise for their exertions, they took refuge under the shelter of " the previous question," which forbade the motion of Mr. ROEBUCK being put to the vote. If the Ministers really feel that confidence in the justness of their cause which they professed in their speeches, they should have boldly met the intended censure with a direct negative ; they should have placed their conduct on the intelligible issue which would have been involved in a decision on the ques tion before the House, and, relying upon their as sumed innocence, have agreed to stand or fall by the verdict of their country. The same arguments by which they supported the amendment would have served them equally well to oppose the original motion. They might have pleaded, and with some show of justice, that even if the charges were true, they did not apply to the present Ministers, inasmuch as those members of the Cabinet who were directly concerned in that portion of the management of the war which came immediately under the cognisance of the Committee, were not members of the present Administration. They might even have gone further, and asserted that, although the PREMIER and some few of his colleagues were in directly concerned, and therefore ostensibly respon sible for the faults with which the ABERDEEN Minis try are charged, they had subsequently atoned for their unconscious share in the offence by the subse quent good management for which the PREMIER claimed credit. With such a case, it was a duty which they owed to themselves and the position which they occupy, to have taken a bold stand, and met the motion of censure by a direct negative. By taking the course which they did, and sheltering themselves under the plea of " the previous qnestion," they have virtually admitted the truth of the accusation. They have shrunk from a decision which they professed to believe would have been in their favour, and thereby shown themselves to be destitute of that moral courage which is indispensable to the success of a Ministry at any time, and never more so than when the country is engaged in war. How much better was the position taken by the Peelites, who were directly implicated in the result of the motion before the House. They denied the truth of the charges against them, but refused the shelter which was taken with such craven fear by Lord PALMERSTON and his colleagues. Their acts were before the world, and they were willing to abide the [JULY 24, 1855• it consequences ; so that their votes wer e forma "A minority amonzst those who opposed the araetd7 The division, censequently, was no te st whate.ris the opinion of the House on a subje ct in whieto public take so deep an interest ; and all tlia t oo Ministry have gained is the success of their mo te , for evading the verdict which, regard for their reputation, they would have anxious to obtain. : ;ios P The consequences of this unsatisfactory (by' t o the subject which must now force itself upon , P, attention, and the only reasonable solution of to e culty appears to be in an appeal from the reP t ,7 tative to the constituent body by a disc i t O Parliament.
