HOUSE OF LORDS.—TIIMUIDAT, JULY 7.
The LORD CY•YCILLO6, took his mall on the WOOLISCS it
Ave o'clael.

THE AFFAIRS OF ITALY.

The Earl of DERBY rid theiteni;leTlord on the other
aide of the house (Lord Stratford de Redcliffe) announced
two days ago the terms of a resolution he intended to-morrow
(Friday) evening to move on the subject of our foreign policy,
end Naked him (Lord Derby) whether he, or those with whom
headed, had any desire that the motion should be postponed
to 'Low of a longer consideration of it. Ho listened atten-
tively to the terms of that motion, and immediately answered
the noble lord that so far as he and them with whom he
acted wee* concerned they had no wish to postpone the
question, and that the resolution appeared to him one to
which they could take no objection. Of course, he gave
that answer on the supposition that this motion wee to be
made with the full concurrence and that it would receive the
au pport of her Majesty's government, became they would being
difficult position If, when the motion was made, the govern-
ment should move an amendment on that motion the, terms
et which might appear to them to be objectionable. He would,
therefore, ask the noble earl (Granville) whether that notice
was given with the concurrence of her Majesty's government,
end whether the motion would meet with their support P He
would further suggest fees the consideration of the noble lord
sad of her Majesty s government that there was en expremion
in the mond paragraph of that resolution which he thought
did not convey accurately the mewling which the noble lord
latendecl. The resolution proposed to signify the confidence
of the house, that her Majesty would "maintain Inviolate the
neutrality, as therein dmlued, of her Majesty's dominions.'e-
Now, he would sagged that this should be altered to "
• Wristlets the pruiclple of neutrality laid down in these
papers, between the ties engaged in the present contaid."
A mere verbal dm
would meet the a,nse of that opi-
eke which he understood It to be the noble lord's intention
to caper; and be (the Earl of Derby) would then not have
Use slightest objeetion to the motion.
Earl ORAN VILLE replied that the noble lord (Stratford
de Redctiffe) waa not now in his piece, but BM were be
would certainly be ready to repeat, that he gave notice of that
motion without having had any previous communication at
all with the government on the subject ; and certainly. If he
(Earl Granville) had been consulted es to the desirableness
of Misfit% formed any such motion, he should have replied
that he did sot rester particular utility of it. Of course, be
must reserve till to-morrow evening to rate hie opinion es to
the deeirablenese of agreeing to the motion. But it it would
be convenient to the noble earl that he should know what
course the government intended to take, he (Earl Granville)
would at coo, say th,t he did aot himself see anything in
that motion to which he had the slightest objection.
TM Earl of DERBY had understood the noble earl to say
that be bad noobje...tion to the terms of the motion, but doubted
its utility. He did not understand whether the government
meant is asses' to it.

-11—eriiblitAli-VILES replied that the noble lord (Stratford
is ItedeWe), sating as his own reaponsib lity, would'briog
the emotion forward, and the goveratuvnt would certainly not
mere it.
Se►eral private bile were reed a third time.

Sir C. WOOD replied that he lied stated nothing of the
kind.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE.

Mr. MAGUIRE moved that leave of absence be granted
for a fortnight to Mr. Brady, oa sorted of urgent private
Isminees.
Sir F. BARING was afraid that as the session dewed
such motions would become very frequent, sad that the
number of members liable to terve on the committees would
thereby be considerably reduced. In the present case he
did not with to make any objection because the hon. mem-
ber's name ter not down at present for any committee, and
hie have of absence would expire bdore hie same was likely
to be called. He would suggest that for the future any
member submitting such a motion to the house should pre-
viously setisfy himself that the business woe urgent, and
thus reader himself responsible for the motion. (Hear.)
The motion was then agreed to, but Mr. Brady having
made hie appearance in the house a few minutes afterwards,
the Speaker, in accordance with the rale% cancelled the
leave which had been granted.
