On the 'notion that, at its rifling, the House do adjouin
until Monday,
Mr. M. Mit.sgs called attention to the appointments
of Conant,' anal Vice-Consuls to Japan, in connexion
with the evidence and report of the recent Committee on
the Consular Service. Ile complained that the appoint-
ment of Captain Vyse as Vice-Consul in Japan, in the
teeth of their recommendation, was • great slur upon the
committee.
Mr. S. FITZ,IERALP, premixing that he Was glad of an
opportunity of making a father statement than he had
made upon • former occaaion, explained that the Con-
sular service it, Japan WAS totally different from that of
China, MIL that the promotions in the latter had almost
exhausted it of lietent persona. He urged that the
profeasion of Captain Vyse should not he a disqualifi-
cation, and that the aalary assigned to the office was not
too large.
Mr. Wuar. said what lie complained of was that, in-
stead of appointing a person well qualifed for the ftwc.
titans of Vice-Consul, the Foreign•ottice had appointed •
peraon who, could nut be duly qualified, according to
the rules of the office.
After bra-f explanations from Mr. FITZGERALD and
Lord PALMER:ST.Oi the subject dropped, and the motion
for adjournment Was agreed to.
On the not iii that the House resolve itself into a
Committee of Supply,
laaral P.thurmarox called attention to the preaent !
stet.. of affairs on the continent, audit:deed tier Majesty's
130verninerit whether they were in a condition to make
to the House any communication calculated to encouratoe '
the hope that tlia•re would be no interruption of tro:
general peace of Europe. Ile disclaimed any factious
spirit in this inquiry. which he thought it incumbent
upon the House of Commona to make. From one end
of Europe to the other, lie observed, there were not
only great apprehensions of hostilities. but a general
arising anal preparations for warlike enterprises, anal it
was natural to ask, what was all this about ? Ile con.
sidereal what motives could exist for the rupture of the
general peace, and could find, he said, no question
among the great Powers that ought to lead France,
Austria, Sardinia. Rusaia, or Prussia to engage in war
or to violate treaties. What, then, could be cause of
these preparations? It could alily be the state of Ctn.
tral Italy, awl, if that were the teal cause of the
jealousy anal differencea between two great Powera, the
only way to calm them down was by a mutual and
Niantiltaneons retirement of both France and Austria
front the Papal States. If this Was the true Cause of
difference—anal be Was unable to see any other—the
Government of Great Britain was in a position of being
able, by the exercise of its good offices, to render a nuost
important service to Europe, and to avert the evils of a
general war. If a good and enlightened Government
w, sstablisheal at Home the bulk of the people woulal
be content. He ventured, therefore, to submit that Her

from Austria and France an engagement to retire from

merits in theta' and the lesser States of Italy that would
secure the future tranquility of that country. At all
events, if the attempt were made ithal proved unsuccese
ful, Great Britain would stand acquitted.
The Cffaficellaolt of the I.:MAIM/I'VA wan not sur-
prised that Lord Palmerston, as the leader of the
I pposition, should have made this inquiry, and
acquitted lann of the possibility of his being actuated in
making it by party feelings. The state of juublic affairs,
he admitted, justified the inquiry. It was notorious
that military preparations were going forward in various
parts of Europe, anal he concurred in the view taken by
Loral Palineiston of the posisition of the Powers in-
tereetril in the wettletnent of ISM. It was not the iii.
tautest of any of Bowe Powers to disturb that eettleinent,
and he believe,' it was not their wish ; but there were
eircuinatances which created an anonialowe state 4of affairs
with reference to Italy which might occamion war,
although the object at the commencement 'night not be
a desire to challenge or impugn the settlement of 1815.
Iler Majesty's Government, lie observed, bad not been
altogether idle. They had endeavoured. tau the best of
their ability, to take that course which they deemed
most conductive to the maintenance of the general peace.
Ile had the aatiafaction of informing the House that
they bad received communications which gave them
✓eunion to believe that before long the ROlllllll States
would be evacuated by the French anti Austrian troop*,
and thin with the concurrence of the Papal Government,
and that Lord Cowley, who esijoyeel the entire confidante
of Iler Majesty'. Government, had repaired to Vienna
