him anxious to give the Lord Advocete an opportunity
of removing the doubts which had arisen in mime-
queues of a statement made by him the other ni6lit,
la stating the intentions of the government with regard to
the reform bill for Sew hug, the nuns and learned lord said
that they were prof arid to intraduos inch a measure, and
that it would be based on the general principles which had
bass announced as spplimbie to England. Oa pearehicg for
Thos ;windpipe la the bill now on the table, he found in the
very flat dense the main principle on which the bill wee
founded, namely, ea altaretion la the franchise; and he
foetid certain matters which although not affect England
vary_ imply, affected Scotland to • vary extent.
He found specie's°, which wee omitted from the statementol
the Chewelbr of the Exchequer, that all holding less theta
!NADU', soda ea long tenures, copyholds, sad Ili nate, were
to be Mooed Prom the punnet qualification of 101. to U.
Now to Scotland the fen tenure being the eeleakoli holding
of the country, are la the value from 101. to Si., in
the priacfple of the Begllsh bill, would mks • wry gnat

boom wee to lake ft for waked that each was the Intuition
of the goverment with rained to Scotthad. He did sot
smogs the hoe. sad 'seconding slabs& ssy bear gostlases

sdassisstasollsi of the statement to which be bed no
hared. (bug, Mar.)
The CHANCELLOR dtbe IRECHBQUER said that ea
soon as the ascend reeding of the English reform bill
should take plane, It w the haeiatioe of the government to
Introduce the Scotch hell—that wen to say, as soca es the
pressure of public betimes would permit them to do so.
They contemplated she Introduction al the bill before Easter,
and he thought that would be the most convenient time foe
giving a general statement no the subject. He observed
another questioe to the paper with r. &fence to the Irish
repreathtation. After the &doh bill hal been introduced
and read a mooed time, he would bake the opportunity of
stating the warm which the government intended to puma
with !nerd to Ireland.
Mr. PALE wished to ask the hon. neenthar foe Birming-
ham whether he would name the day on which he intended
to move for leave to introdece his bill. It wee moat Im-
portant that 'adepts:dent members shriek' ham t opportu-
nity of choosing the Mat portions of bAh Mlle. (Hear,
' hear, and laughter.)
Mr. BRIGHT thought, generally speaking, it w bettor
for the home to attend to one thug at once. (Laughter.)
Possibly it might be better for the canes of reform, and the
government, no doubt, would like it better, that the undi-
vided attrition of the home should be given to their hill.
dLaughter.) Whenever he might think it right to intro-
uce his measure, he would give the house ample nodes of
his intention. J.. Hem, how," and laughter.)

THE ITALIAN TREATIES.
Mr. HORSHAM, with reference to the question which he
had previously abed on the subject at these treaties, mug
weed the propriety of re-printing those which had Wieldy
been printed, in mist that they might be made the mar
acesserible to the public. With regret to the treaties which
had not been utlioislly communicated to the government,
they were now official documents, and being publie pro.
;drip!' saw no restart f nut restating them, except ups
the that their publication would to prejudicial to the
pub lc intense.
Mr. 8. FITZOERALD said the government bad already
at various times War • number of the mere to which the
right hon. geatamen had referred; and, in refereece to the
two most impottant one., be had already stated that they
were laid oa the table of the house in 1848 and 1849, and
were to be seat la the Rem of the house. With recreate
to thy earlier treaties, government had no official document
whatever ; they had not been communicated to than in any
one form. With reference to the treaty of Vienna, It con•
mined other stipulation., and he thought it would be • very
inconvenient thing to beng in • document of that extreme
length when ally a small portion of It Mated to the matter
in hand.
THE IRISH REFORM BILL.

Mr. J. lATOrrsar.D—Ziersit;odlt—was intended
that there should be • lOf. county franchise for England.
The aunty franchise for Ireland was • 121. rating, which
was equivalent to M. or 161. vales. Surely It oust be In-
terenthog to all of them to know whether the WA immobile
wee to be reduced to the same standard se that of England.
He wished to know also whether the religions principle, the
proteetke of which WY thrown round Aron le ,1 wee to be
satesded to Ireland.

"'Mr. BO...WYSE—I think the Irish members should rw
strain their impatience.
Lord J. RUSSELL-1 do not know whether I understood
the Cbencellor of the Exchequer right, but I certainly
pthered from what he sad that there wee no reform ball at
ell for Inland. . .

'"V he CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Whet I
wished the house to understand wee, that wadi they had
aenctiowd the principle of the bill which I introduced the
other night I thoeght it was Inconvenient that their atten-
tion should be called to other bills. I think it very deelrable
that the second read* of the bill we have introduced should
be affirmed by the home, sad then it will be in oar power to
state what course we shall adopt.
THE WAR ACCOUNTS.

THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

On the WAND that the Speaker leave the ch4r, la oda
that the home might go into committee on the army esti-
mate,
Hr. STAPLETON called attention to the recant
doubts eleeke of Hospodar in Wallachia and Moldavia.
Mr. S. FITZGERALD said he would not detain • the
house with mom then a few observances, because he was
sure the home would the that It was haposeible for him to
enter into the whole conaklereith of this very important
question. Upon a fem. r ocess'on, when it was before the
house—last year—it was hie duty to state the views which
her Majesty's government generally misdated in reference
to the parities of the Danubian Prthcipali.ies. Mace that
time the Conferee* of Perim had met, end day after day and
week after week the attentiou of the most able
of Enrote was directed to this question, and tte result of
their labours lathed In what must be considered a col. ma
European set. The hon. gen.leman had stated that in his
oploion the election ef Colonel Coma as hospoder of both
Prisollidities was not contrary to the design and spirit of
that sot. Us would not himself venters to offer an opinion
on that subject, but this he would ray, that such an election
was not contaumplated by those wha essithed at the Confer-
ence of Paris. Neither would be sets, Into the gale-
na as to the intention with which this election had
been owned out, nor whet might be its poisible
remit. Turkey hut proteded amine the skein,
on the ground that it was contrary to the letter sad
spirit of the convention, end the had invited those who were
&Artie to the confluence la Park to meat in eonfarearhe, and
to madder the Denote state of affairs which at preent fo-
isted in the Priacipelities. That being the ore, this em-
bracee was stoat to be held at Pas* and her NMety's go-
vernment bad ontented to join In that conform*, and
consider whet whet was best to be done, posehly by mutual
ereemake. poseibly b CMS detente d the provisions of
the 0,,,,e.0rk5. Doke these circumstances he thought the
brae woollies, that it was premature in the government to
eats what their views wen_ r and having shortly stated the
grounds on which Ise willed the goverment not to eater
into the consideestion of the great sad important qualities
which the hon. puttee= bad brought Ware them, le meat
decline to further enter into it.
