THE VIENNA CONFERENCE.
The Earl of )(AMESBURY wished to put few ipso
does to his noble (Mad the Smeary of State for Forelgs
Affairs, with rapid to the late assaistims at Visas". He
wss sere that his sable friend melt glen coedit, not only

Mims that were gong on might have bees cop

that the Beattlatioss were braes ea, sad that we were

againat Resin. Ho (Lard llalmosbery) wished therefore
to ask ems quakes of the noble earl, and in doing se he
did set think that he was at all premature. Indeed, he
bed bees anticipated is another plass by a mina of per-
Emma% and the prime minister had mounted to *slime
M Comma what the state of the ease now was. It ap-
peared from what Lord Palmentos bad rid that there was
me been say lop of Inducing Ruda to map' was
eremitism which their lordships were aware had bees
mode by the Western Powers, and wash, as they under
Med, had bees supported by Austria. It appeared from
statemeat ef the able lord that the Waters Powen
bad panda to negotiate epos the fear pasts whisk had
been laid down ma the Bth of August se bases of segotio
time for pease. Those points were founded, me they all
bow, epee the fallowing principles. The first related to
the protectorate a the provisoes of Wallachia sad Moldavia,
sea bated apes • protectorate of the five Powers, Wand
.(the protectorate of Russia aloe', as bad heretofore bees the
ease. The mead Insisted upon the tresdlemel tie Downs.

the French miaow, K. Croup' de Lhuys, Mid M re-
duce the preponderance of Russia in the Bleds Ess.
The fourth and last established the piniple
vet
the Christina religion and the Christi's eslomilo a
the Ottoman aspire should be placed ender the JIM
protectorate of the five Powers. He (Lord llalminoff)
mended that the misname at Visam began the
fist point, and be wished therefore to ask his midis Alma
whether the Russian mermaid had agreed SO Ile fat
psis% and whether its views on that point were tbeeMems
those of the Western Powers and Austria ? He aim mlisei
to ask manse they bed met with any difficulty from Rasta
win regard to the second point? He understood from the
statement of Lord Palmerston that it was upon the third
pent that the negotiations broke down. It appeared that the
preposition made to Russia consisted of two alternatives, tad
that the plenipotentiaries of Zeeland, France, Austria, sad
Turkey proposed either that the amount of the Ream saval
lone in the Black Sea should henceforth be limited by treaty,
or that the Black Sea should be declared must posed es-
Only, whereby all ships of war would be mended from
ar, so that it woad be • see ter sommeres only in
It, eppoaredAthat Rada refired both of the
abrade's, and that as see had made so canter proposi-
tion whatever, they must be prepared for • lees war.
Deeply, however, as he regretted that some mass had not
Ms found whereby a lasting sad as hoses:able pose might
have been mewed to this ossuary, he mat be allowed to
lay that that regret wee mush &misdated when he same to
onside, the terms. The proposal that no armed moats
should be allowed in the Black Sea, except,
he supposed, suck as might be necessary to gaud
the commons of that sea from the attacks of pirates—
though be thought it rather a Utopias proposition—was the
preferable alternative, and it had certainly a better chime
a moms with respect to their wishes hereafter. Me could
net conceive that the first alternative bad emanated
either from his noble hind opposite, or frcm the
noble lord at the head of the government ; and he
meld not bat think that it mast have bees ea Austrian
proposition. If that proposition was made simply and
nakedly as it appeared in the statement of the noble vie.
'sent, he could not understand what possible gamete*
they would have had fur its fulfilment. If it had been ac-
esispanied by • proposition that each of the five powers
should have • certain limited number of ships in the Black
nea as well as Russia, there might have been some hops
the treaty would be kept ; but otherwise he did names what
"material guarantee " his noble friend could possibly have
had for its Mormon. Even supposing that we had mods
at Sebastopol and at the ether ports in the Black Sea, would
amybody believe that Ia the coarse of • few years Russia
would not be gradually, and one by ono, exceeding the
number of line of battle nips stipulated ? Would anyone
believe, eves if the consuls reported to the French govern.
meet or to Loadoe, or to the other protecting powers,
that such was the sass, that they (the allied governments)
woad regard such an evasioa as a muss belle It was not
upon bars suspicion that he said this, for the former socidnet
of Russia bad made it probable that she would so set. He
had only to quota her conduct with respect to the mouths of
the Danube, which had bees secured by sn saalegan treaty.
That treaty was evaded, and the other powers were obliged
to be satisfied with very lame explanations; for it never
Mend into the heads either of the government or of the
peeps of this mazy to make the conduct of Russia in the
natter • eases kill, or eves • cause of quarrel. He (the
amble lord), therefore, did not much regret that Ramie had
MUM to asap this alternative. There was one ett or
settled apes whisk he also wished to ask • question. It
appeared that on the Bth of August, whoa the Fear
Peals wen laid down, Prussia was to have Ma
ens of the preteedag powers. Now, ocesideries what
the "Meet of the Prussian government bad been—oceduct
whisk bad been so well described by his noble and learned
blend (Lord Lyedharat)—he should like to ask the noble
east whether it bad been eostemplated still to include
Praia ? It appeared obvious to him, from the minus she
had shows, that if • napkins had been made by the pro-
tested proviso's against ese of the Easters powers, we
should have bad • fifth vete against us, if Prussia had been
included law treaty. He thought he had a right also to

the hoses es nes as Feasible some more Moan inform

noble friend would resellset that they bad had se Waist
