The Address in answer to the l.lueerie Speech was moved by
Mr. II salami, and seconded by Mr. S. Molar's%
Mr. Dia/410.1 said if the °oven nent had acted with Russia,
German war might have bemsprevented. True, the Emperor
omitted threatened an' snood neutraillr at Paris,the Panto-
might have replied that an armed neutrality was difficult for
as, who for the Lost two years had bee* &arming : and
the speaker reflected with great, severity on Mr. Oladnone's
persistence in the policy of reduction, which Marta; for hust-
ings policy, be mug have known before he was Prime Minister
tea minutes to have been a grave mistake. This war, which
the Caverns:wont might have prevented, Mr. Disraeli character-
ised as pert of the great German Revolution, more important
politically than the French Revolution • it opened a new
world and new unknown objects, and had entirely destroyed
the old beldam el power. Its ant consequence was Um re-
pudiation by Buena of the Treaty of ittRS. Ile protested
against a Conference on that Treaty In which France wa not
represented. Nor could be conceive a British gateman giving
up in Conference all the points which had been eviined with
such secrifices in the Chinese War. The Treaty guaranteeing ,
the neutrality of Lullliaburg had next been violated, as also
had the Treaty parenting Roam to the Pope. He called
sttentiOn to the Amaive tone habitually adopted by the
American Government and leadinq men towards this country.
lilt were known that the Queen e dominions could not be
attacked without being defended, this " rowdy rhetoric" would
boon cease. He proclaimed to support the Army 11111 of the
Government lilt were adequate to the neceenty.
Mr. GLADITONI vlrifesialy replied, and showed that at the
very outset, the Government had used its utmost Influence with
both Powers to prevent hostilities, and at every favourable
nage of the caulk-4 had renewed its exertions to arrest the
Maughter. To Ma Disrath's complaint that the diplomatic
weakness of the Government was produced by attenuated
armaments, la retorted by ',centrelines the estimates of last
year with those of 1863, for ...bah Mr. DW•adi was responsible,
and of 1862, when he denounced " bloated armaments.'
Though he did not. share Mr. Disraeli's impression that this
tizt= was in any!speeial danger, Mr. Gladstone did not
that he congtered the future of Europe anything
but reaseuring, but at Ivast this 3 car would show whether 'nor
reliance was to he paced on rr.oral of material force. Vie
hoped for a durable peace from this Armistice (and generally
he agreed with • actual e%pre.sion of Yr. Disraeli in favour
of nioderate terms), but it would he rash to indulge in too
sanguine or confiding expectations. As to our own position
Mr. Gladstone repudiated an attitude of selfish Isolation. To
disown the obligations an-log out of our multiplied relations
'nth all the countrea or Europe "mild be unworthy of our
rag history and our future hopes. These and the duties
arising frau our synapabies with Europe could not be separated
from OW considergion of our military rowels; but on this
bead Mr. Gladstone, though he spoke of it with grave earnest-
ness declined to anticipate the deteled statement to be made
by the Nor Minister.
The address was agreed to, tog the House adfoumed.
