Mr. EWART seconded the motion.
Mr. B. COCHRANE soil that, whatever might he the
opinion of the house as to the merits of the proposition of the
boa. gentleman, the re court be but one opinion as to the
inopportunewes of the time when he brought it forward.
Although the bon. gentlemen rejected some of the views of
those who pot him forward on this accesion, he thought they ,
might view this question asthe questing of the Pram Sheety, '
whose views he het Ito be completely impracticable. The
dews of the bon gent'iman were the same as those enter-
lathed by Lap thee, Pierre 1410111, Respell, Prudhon, and
the other members of the Montague. There wee great sym-
pathy between the Momogne in Frames and the Montagne
here, and he believed that one party were as honest in
their convictions as the other.
Lord R. GROSVENOR did not think that the hon.

Mr. MACKINNON egad not help raying that the hon.
gentleman opposite (Mr. Cobden) had enrol-ti himelf by
his motion to thy thanes of that house, the [haul's of the
country, and, he might add, the thanks of the civilised word.

Dutch resorted to arbitration in such a case, terms might
have been propelled to them involving the sacrifice of a par-
don of their territory, by which their future independence
and security
woald have been totally undermined. (Hear,
hear) C oild the Dutch have submitted to sack terms ;
and wan it for any foreign pence', however learned or wise,
to decide whether nations should sacrifice their (reediest in
such a way ? (Hear.) He would not believe, con-
nected as the intim.* of Europe now were, that we were (tea-
time I toe,* a earienanee and revival of those ware which had
been the disgrace of civilisation, humanity, and Coristianstv
in previous p nods. (Hear, hear.) There wes a time in
Egret* when individuals sallied from their castles, and
made wee on other chiefs living some ten mice dimwit
from them. At a somewhat later period the plains of
Fleeders were cover. d wi,h rapine and bloodshed by the
quarrels b t e'en different small towns; and many cities and
villain were destroyed by fire in ernsequeoce of this ante
of things Comparing this with the period from 1815 to
1849, it would be seen that those wars of the middle
ages, of bar ma amongst themselves, and of feudal chiefs
and sovereigns against peaceful dim bad entirely
disepreared, and tee artisan and hueb mimeo now
pureed their undo and iedustre in peace. That change
haven liken place, he could not ere why another change
shoals net follow ; sod that, in consequence of a similar
progress of eisi illation, in consequence of a greater feeling
that men were bound to make every sacrifice fur the sake
of peace and to terminate their dispute a with one wencher;
ie in fusers times Prussia and Denzil at had a question in
dispu e, they should thick it as unnatural and barbarous to
have recourse to war, u it would be for the city of Brueel-
to make an atttek on Antwerp, or the city of York to make
an stimuli on Durham. (Hear, hear) Such he believed
would be this progress of eiviasition ; and the influenza of
gevernmeuts wooed do much its bringing about the change.
Certainly, whet we had teen last year vault tend to =eke
us less sanguine of this result. At the same time, he did :am
see why suca changes should net ba in program, why the in-
fluences of the great goveremeets of Europe should not
be used for the purpose of dimmerearing ins, of
mediating between powers engaged in disputes which
when even of little importune often led to war.
He ens the na oe confirmed in this opinion, became, looking
at all the were of the last century, and examining into their
causes, he did noes*, one which might not have been settled
without remorse to arms, bad there been temper in the
(Afferent parties, and a fair consideration of the questions it.
dispute. (Hear, hear.) With them: general views, he
differed Dig from many of the statements made by the hove
member for the Wry Riding, nor did he regret that the
quo otiose had been brought under cobtidereuen. He ear-
-1 tiiniy differed from him as to the policy of ittroducir g as
arbithaien amuse into all our entries with foreigu pew. re,
thinkieg that such a clause would not tend to secure the ob-
j et the house had its view. But wish regard to the general
eject, the m Ante thence of peace, a,.d cf the national oncur
ie an amic.ble spirit, he agreed in the view in which the hen.
,eneerean had made his motion.
Capt. HARRIS rose amidst loud cries for a division. He
said that tee hen. gentleman opemite had taken this question
out of the hands of the Quak.rs, for whom he had a great
ee.peet, fur the purp, s I ot reducing the establishments of the
.entry. lie b hived they were the instruments era reputi-
liein policy, gaol that they wished to strip this country of its
defences. Wien it wu stated in the menage of tree French
President that the at amen of the French navy *mounted to
28,500 nun, be sides 11,1100 IIIST•IIPS, how was it possiele for
teem to relate one man •I eh,- 27 500 men, which was the
strength ot the it navy ? (H. or, hear.)
Mr. COBDEN replied. The hon. gentleman who had
ju t eat deem hal spoken of their establishments, the navy
in particular, es something which des'r.ed to b. preserved
for its own 'eke in time of peace. lie begged to enure the
hon. and eell .nt gentleman that the country (merely

(Hear.) But •h it they rued was to render ships of war to
the extent to which they were now employed unneenstry.
(Her.) That was their view. It was not to tender toe
ceseatry dereecelees, but to tAr. (eh. r mean► for our defence.
(Hear, hear ) The hon. gentleman spoke of the French
guy. rumeet bowie g of the immense armaments they had
in exiatene e But the hon. gentleman lost sight of another
passage in the some eocument where allusion is made to the

stage in this country which was the lasts ace of p. ace and
order, in SIIZIOSt every c wary of Europe, the sage of filen-

He said that the demean whine ar s. clueing the last

were settle dth y had not been a duced: (Hear, heir.) He
did not think the noble lord had glen any answer to the
argument which he had put forward in favour of some other
means of guaranteeing*. cue', and peace b. aids the unsetis

ere my time a petty quarrel arse with a foreign state. (Hear.)
He would leave otnen te take the hiehe r ground of appeal
ing to tee aliitioue and morel setitinteuts of the palate.
'That department had been well handled, and would be
again by whets who were better qualified for
the tick than he. Be would content himself
with taking lower ground and pressing the question cf a re-
duction of the exuenei tire. He e entered thee one rea on

bex —but at all events in the next sesaien of parliamert, of
moving an address to the crown that coorraunicatious be en-
tered upon with foreign powers, to enable them not oney to
put a stop to this monstrous increase of line re-battle ships,
and steam vessels and military force, but to enable them
eraduelly to diminish the existing amount. (Hear, hoar)
Then two objects should in his opinion go together.
Th. y cueht to give a ,me guarantee against the sudden re
currence of sudden war by some such honourable compact
as that shich he tow proposed. They called the premed
rate of things peace. The noble lord spoke of peace Icing
preserved. It was not peace ; it was an armed truce.
(Cheers) The county was one great intrenchme rd. (Hear,
bear.) He did not call it Fein at ell. When the
treble lord spoke of the progress of civilisation,
and said that wee existed only amongst petty st .tes,
be (Mr. Cobden) said on the other hand, that the great
rates maniteen d a display of force far more f rmid.ble than
nothing that existed at the feudal age. (Hese hear

It war a mimeos. r, thereton, to c .11 .0-di a mete of things a

oose that there was not much diffrence in their vie' 5, but
he proposed an amendment which would deprive him of
taking the opinien of the house on the question. lie re-
gretted that beeesse he wanted the house to express en
opinion on in merits, and if he wished es it on no other
account, he desired it for the sake of knowing how the
noble lo:d would vote. (Hear, bear) He should
like to see whether the noble lord would von
against the Emden, altar the speech which he made. The
noble lord the member for Lindon sho otrplisted him eery
much by his speech, for he opposed the motion, and said
that if c .rried it would not answer • but, lit the rime time,
he said that In (Mr. Co deo) did good by bringing it tor.
ward. He did not understand such compliments with such
comments. (Hear, hear.) He would take the sense of the
house on the matter, whether on the previous question or
not. He believed the diicussion would do goad. (Hear,
bear ) The mien sheuld be kept alive, and to the wintry
he commended it. (Cheers.)
The hones then divided—
