DEBATE ON POLAND IN THE FRENCH
SENATE.-SPEECH OF M. BILLAULT.
YARD , MAKE 19.

To-day, in the Senate, K de Touraugin explained
why the committee proposed to pass to the order of
the day on the petitions in favour of Poland.
K Billault expressed his regret that words had
been spoken likely to compromise the cause of
Poland, and rendering more diificult the course of
the government.
M. Billault said :—" The sympathies of France
for Poland are not new, and are founded upon
glorious recollections, and the sentiments inspired
by the sufferings of a heroic people which have
lasted nearly a century." The minister then
stated that he had nothing to retract from the
words which he had uttered in another assembly,
and continued—" The Polish question is not for-
gotten, but a fresh insurrection can only bring fresh
misfortunes, and it is neither good, useful, nor hu-
mane, to encourage it. The French government per-
sists in this language." M. Billault recalled that the
policy followed by preceding governments con-
sisted in many words and-tittle action, " a policy
dangerous for Poland, irritating for sovereigns,
and without result for anybody. It is neces-
sary," he said, " to mistrust popular impulses."
K Billault observed that aspirations for liberty
were manifesting themselves everywhere, and made
the powers more accessible to the voice which has
been raised in favour of Poland. "For this rea-
son," he continued, " Russia has replied to the
communications of France by benevolent words,
promising concession and amnesty. The old
distrust of Europe towards Franoe exists no longest,
The policy and conduct of the Emperor has
destroyed it for ever. Foreign powers understand
that this pacific and liberal policy responds to the
wants and necessities of all parties. If it should
happen that the destiny of Poland must be settled
by a Congress, there is no doubt that the voice of
France would be listened to." K Billault men-
tioned the precedents of the Senate on similar occa-
sions, and asked that the order of the day be
adopted. He remarked, in conclusion, that after
the speech which the Senate heard yesterday, it
could not hesitate between referring the petitions
to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, accompanied
by its reasons for so doing—a course which perhaps
implied the risk of war—and passing to the order of
the day, thereby expressing confidence in the wis-
dom and firmness of the Emperor.
Much cheering followed the conclusion of M.
Billault's speech, and the Senate passed to the
order of the day by 109 against 17 votes.
