LONDON, WED Ar BSDAY, MARCH 7.

Ma. 86114017 a FITZGEL&LD neacensiouly did a
great public 'service by his outepokenasse on
Monday evening. It is of the utmost importance at
the present time that the real views of the
Opposition on Foreign Affairs should be publicly
known, and the member for Horsham bas removed
all doubt on this head. In the excitement of the
moment he forgot the ambiguous and evasive
language is which his party have recently hi-
dulged, and was betrayed into • frank sad
straightforward avowal of their foreign polisry
The murder is now out, and we know what the
Tories really want. It seams, after all, that the
experience of half • century has taught them nothing,
for their political programme to-day is the same that
it was fifty years ago. They look back with regret
to the/palmy days of the great pilot who weathered
the European storm, and seek to outdate his fame'.
by a miserable travestie of his policy. The losg
poses has soodeenaed them se a party to poli-
noel weaknost, and they dream of regaining
power by playing with the desperate expedient
of war. In what digestion they would attempt
to realise this fatal mass* was never for
• moment doubtful. Bigoted hatred sad *limey
of France is the political heritage of the
Tory party, and their leaders appear in their heart
of hearts to cherish the feeling with easubbi like
religious veneration. While Limeades at large, genet-
twig its incising antipathies, ohne teeedthate friendly
relations with its awed aeighhear, the party of
reaction strives to revive the old animosity is its
bitterest and meet inveterate form. It desires to

Frame, and drag not only England hat the Coati-
nest into the horrors of a general war. The mistimes

sealed. Mr. Dtanaut, it is tree, wee tee wary to
betray this feeling M Parliament. Bat it gave met
sad animation to that celebrated speech to his eon-
stitsests in which he described the national debt as
" a mere flea bite." This statemaat wan in fact
only preparatory to the ietimatio• he made
towards the close of kis bareogne, that England
would probably take part ha the somieg actelliet
in Italy, that our fleet would sees be escorting in
the Mediterranean to protect Trieste sa a port of
the Germanic Coefederation ; In a word, that we
ghoul l before long draw the sword ea behalf of
Austria, oar old ally. That was the programme
Mr. DiNuatel breathed In the confiduce of friend-
ship to his county countesses. Lord DUET was
even ler discreet in hie avowal of hostility to Frans*
and friendship towards Austria. But the
actual development of the Tory policy ens
promptly checked by the strong and unanimous
expression of public opinion in favour of political
neutrality—that neutrality, however, heist coupled
with an equally decided moral support of Italy in
her struggle fee freedom. The policy they were
thus compelled to abandon in office was speedily re-
sumed by the Tories io opposition. The loading mem-
bers of the party have lost no opportanity of ap.
pealing to thatanti-Oallipsprejedicewhich animates
their followers, by insinuating doubts and fears, sus-
picions and jealousies of the French people, and
their elected ruler. In Parliament, indeed, their lan-
guage, though irritating, has hitherto been served.
Bat what was concealed by the Conservative leaders
has been for many weeks past boldly avowed by
their organs in the preoi. Their single daily and
single weekly journal have sounded the note of
sympathy with Austria and defiance of Franc in the
clearest and Medan tone They run the absurd parallel
between the (intend second empire, between the First
and Third NaPOLEON, in order that a terrified and
grateful nation may hasten to recognise in the gm.
tlemen who sit on the Opposition benches, the
experienced pilots who alone oma weather the
comiog storm.

steal of Mr.
Sim= PrrzogaeLo to the quick, and he feels
that the abegaint has arrived toe throwing of all
disguise. Is his excitement he forgets the tries of
ressivespeoch, and declares in favour of a European
eembiastion against Franco—in other worde,in favour
of war instead of peace. This is so important a de-
claration that public attention cannot be too
earnestly Axed upon it, and on the result it in-
volves. That we do not overstate the drift of
Mr. FrrzoaaALD's speech will be apparent from
its term., which are sufficiently plain. He ex-
pressly stated that the question raised by Mr. ICING..
LAZE bad wider and move important bearings thaa
the mere expression by Parliament of an opinion on
the annexation of Savoy. That annexation was to
be looked on as a key to the claims and public
policy of Fiance. This policy affected the whole of
Europe, and the present, therefore, was the very mo-
ment for organising an European alliance against it.
" Every country and monarch is Europe looks with
" distrust and alarm," said the Member for Horsham.
" on the policy of the extraordinary mu who rules,
" the destinies of Frazee, but none will take the
" initiative in a policy of resistance. They look to
" England to do this, and if she leads the way they ,
" will all follow." Mere remonstrance will not suit
the views of Mr. Frrxc RIAU) and his party. This is
stigmatised am "rhetoric." They want something
more than energetic remonstrance—a European com-
bination and a formal protest of the united Powers.
But such a combination and protest, as Lord JOHN
ROSSELL clearly pointed out, necessarily involves
the alternative of a European war. Apart from
this, it is a mere &lawn feline,,, equally ~lees
and humiliating. Yet, in the full light of these re-
salts, this is the policy which the Tory party argon
in the House of Commons through Mr. FITZGZIALD,
and in the House of Lords last night through the
Earl of ELLaNsoaorott.

Is some respects we •re glad it has come to
this pass, for it beings into clear relief the
foreign policy of the Government and the Oppo-
sition. Tee Government has jest negotiated •
treaty, which must increase the commercial inter
course between the two countries, and thus furnishes
strong guarantees for • continuance of peace. The
Tories naturally dislike that treaty, and oppose it
from an instinct of ealtprmervation. Perma-
nent peace and settled friendly intercom's
between Prance and England would destroy
the key-atone is the arch of their foreign policy.
Bat direct opposition to a treaty so obviously bone&
cial was useless. Just as it is on the eve of passing
though the House, they discover another question
having no kind of connexion with it, which they
fancy may be converted into a pretext for opposing
the obnoxious treaty and urging their own
policy. The question of Savoy has nothing to
do with the treaty. To. treaty stands on its
own merits, and has already been universally
accepted as a wise and beneficial measure. The an-
nexation of Savoy is an important question, on
which both the English Government and the
English people have a decided opinion. That opinion
may he and is expressed apart altogether from the
treaty. To represent, as the Tories do, that the one
is essentially connected with the other, and to make
the rumoured annexation of Savoy • pretext for a
European combination, is not only delusive, but oils-
Maldives', and even criminal. Are the Tories prepared
to tarry oat their programme ? Would they fight
Savoy? If so, let them assert it, and boldly commit
an sot of political suicide. Bat if not, their present
esniduct is flagrantly unpatriotic, if not positively
seltaitial. They would recklessly alienate this
country from France, and run the risk of a European
war, for the merest party purposes on the chance
of returning to power. "It is the nature of
" extreme self-lo►ere," says BACON, " that they will
" set a home on fire only to roast their own eggs."
Bat this is a venial extravagance compared with the
polity of setting Europe by the ears for mere pasty
pavans.
