that they had seemed the Spanish Best at sea ; his hope

He wished to ask whether km Majesty's reversmest had
received say comessaisatlies Irma Mr. LlwwwWW, the
Awaken minister, ea the *abject, and whether kis noble
friend (the Marquis of Lansdowse) thought that the Arni-
ca" instrowlild, whisk was a respectable and regular
government, premed sulagient power sad napes( to prevent
its own suhjeete from Swop out a large espeditiaa to make
war on an roffesding prole t
The Marquis ot LANSDOWNE (who spoke is a low toss
of voice, and wee at times quite inaudible is the gaiety) was
understood to say that the noble and breed lard was right
in presuming that this pleaded expedition—piratical in the
wont rase of the weed— (her, bear)—wee undertaken
not truly without the cognizsocs, bat with the most entire
disapprohatios and diasamonsarce of the Liberian govern-
ment. Tie Kohl* marquis haying made some further oh-
servatious, which did sot neck the gallery, said that, as far as
he haw, asesrances had bra gives to our rani at New
Orleans that the American 'overeaten* would do all is their
power to defeat the expedition. The noble marqi is made
seine other obeerretione with respect to oar cruisers, which
were quite inaudible is the gallery.
After a fee words hem the Eul of ABZILDI2I,
Lord BROUGHAM, as • lawyer sot unfamiliar with the
law of nations, had no hesitation in declaring that all civil-
ised nations were bound to lend their help towards putting
down these pirates, and that any Brit alt tuber would
neglect its duty lilt did not kelp the Spaniard, the injured
party, against the pirate, who was hoods humeri groats by
the law of casinos. (Her, hear.)
Lord STANLEY wished to ask whether the noble mar
qua could give say information as to the 00000 which had
bees taken by ear government, and whether any iastruetions
had been seat oat to the commander of our naval fore* in
the West ladies is uterine* to this piratical expedition?
(Her, hear)
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was not aware that the
remain of an intended expo, ition to Cuba had received a
tangible shape until lately, but the nutter had formed the
subject of more than one communication between our go-
vernment and tee government of the United States He
could rely repeat that we had received the most satisfactory
assurener from that government of their intention to put
down this exneditinn.
Lord STANLEY said the noble marquis must have mis-
understood his question. He did not ask what the American
government bad done, but what the British government had
0000.
The Margo's of LANSDOWNE wee really not prepared
to state without notice what nausea: es had been sent owt,
iodise should not'answer the question afar noble lord.
Lord STANLEY should hare thought that the invades
of Cube was not a matter of indifference to the British na-
tion, and he should have considered that the government
woult have felt it their duty, et least, to have informed
themselves on the subject
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the subject had en-
noel the attention of the government. The naly instruc-
tion that unlit be sent out were eventual instructions.
Lord STANLEY (with warmth).—Have any isetructions
bees sent nut at all?
Earl GREY.—It is contrary to all putties and the duty
of the government to answer such a question. (Hear, beer )
I should soy in the present state of affairs it would be a
breach of may if we were to rive say answer at all as to
the orders which we have thought it our duty to communi-
cate to oar oral commeader in the West Indies. (Hear,
hear.)
Lord STANLEY.—I ass not to be taught my duty by the
noble rel. (Hear, and • laugh.) His notions of what the
duty of • governart is may he very different from mine,
bat I say it is the right and the duty of this home to ascer-
tain whether the government have performed their duty by
taking any step or any measures in reference to a matter
in which the honour and interests of this moon are con-
certed ; and I say we have a tight to ask and to obtain an
answer, not rto the nature of the precise instructions sent
out, if any have been sent out, but whether the subject has
been thought worthy of the attention of her Majesty's go-
vernment, sad whether they hate sent any instructions to
oar naval masnander on that station. (Hear. hear.)
Lied BEAUMONT—My lords—
Lord STANLEY—No, no. I put s question to her Ma-
jesty's =Wean. They may refuse to give au answer. I
doa't know whether they will do so or not, but at all events
I think I have a right to know whether or not they will give
me any satisfactory Lames,
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE—The noble lord is not
the sole depository of the will of this honse. It he asks •
question of me it is for me to consider whether I shall an-
swer that question. (Hear, hear.)
Lord BEAUMONT—I must say, I am surprised at the
erduct oldie noble lord in eadeavouriag to provost me from
making my *bounties', sad also in preeW his question
on her !Neste. governmest after the answer width he had
received. In answer to the nut queries, my Noble friend
below me said the subject was under the mossideratioo of
the government, end in the present polities of affairs, any
other answer would have been indrawn. I rose jut now
to one 10y noble Snead below me sot to allow say other
mower to be given to the question put by the noble lord
"Vdt.BROUGHAM.—I am perfectly satisfied with the
sewer pins by the government, for it mersted to We—
ft is • dirt of round shoat and verbose maser of saying a
very &spit thing: we absols'ely know staking about the
matter. (" Hear." aid a klieg.) As the subject seems
nib, I will soy nothing more thaa this—that it was the

The Earl of ABRRDEEN—There is re toad lend=
