example of the Martinis of t lalnieardc, *llll postpone in•
definitely his motion with ►egard to the affairs of Humid*

that motion would give rise might lead to inconvenience to
the public service. Not that the iovertiment would he

their duty to take, but that it writ to is' expected that
things would be uttered in the course of any debate which
might lead to ttttt ecessiuy irritation, and tend to mar the

needed no other assurance than that. they were sitting
in the British Parliament. As to whether the Government
required any stimulus in the performance of their duty
with regard to these affairs, he thought he need only say
that when two great c•ouuntries like France and England
were united in one common canes• Or policy—were aiming
at one common object—were guided by one common in-

Mr. LAVARD said that he had moved in this matter

people in the name of religion to tight in defence of their

emanated from the official organ of the Frewll Govern-

this motion should be brought forward. and had himself
lined the day for it. He (Mr. Disraeli) feared that the
course now proposed might have a dangerous effect on
public opinion ; tot if the noble lord was anxious a week
ago to have the subject discussed, and • pronounced
that discossion would lie injurious to the public service,
