IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

1101-'4E OF LORDS. —TVIRDAY, FEB. 5.
Ti,i how.° resumed at 5 o'clock, the LORD CHANCELLOR
taking la+ seat on the woolsack.

NEW PEER.

Lord HEIIBMIT of Lka took the oath and his seat. The
noble lord was introduced by the Duke of AiwILL and the
Earl ofSHELRU

The house for some time presented an notteually thin ap-
pearance, but after a short interval the government bench
wise occupied by the Duke of Argyll, the Duke of New-
castle, Lord Herbert, Earl Granville, Earl de Grey, the
Duke of Somerset, Lon' Stanley of Alderley, and
Lord Wodehouse. On the opposition bench were
the Earl of Derby, the Earl of Hsrdwicke, the Earl
of Malniesburv, the Man inn of Salisbury, Lord
Colchester. the karl of Donoughmore, and Lord Chelms-
ford. Amongst the other law lords present were Lord
Cratiworth and Lord Wensleydale. The Earl of Ellen.
boroughoccopiol his usual seat on thefrout bench above the
opposition ; and on the right and left of the seat of the
Clotinnan of Committees were the Marquis of Lansdowne
and the Marquis of Normanbv. The Duke of Lholbridge
occupied a seat on the crone benches. Amongst the other
peen present were the Marquis of Llanricarde, the Earl of
Stanhope, the Earl of Cardigan, the Earl of Lucan, and
Lord Redeadale.

The mover end woodsy of the address occupied the
bench behind the government, each being attired in the
uniform of lord-lieutenant.
THE ADDRESS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR having read the Royal
Speech, which wee again read by the clerk at the table,
The Earl of SEI.TON, in moving that an humble address
be presented to her Most Gracious Majesty, in emiwer to
her speech front the throne. touched upon some of the
most important questions alluded to in the speech, and
concluded by expressing a fervent hope that, in all
their deliberations, they might, by their firmness
and moderation, set such an example to foreign
countries as might induce those who were now most swayed
by a desire of territorial aggrandisement or other passions,
to enter those paths of frugality and industry which could
only tend to that happiness and prosperity which had been
so long enjoyed by the people of this country. (Loud
cheers.) _

Visciount LISMORE briefly seconded the address, but
the noble lonl's speech was inaudible in the gallery.
Lonl DERBY (who was greeted with loud cheers) said
he had no intention of disturbing the harmony of the pro-
ceedings by moving soy amendment to the Address. At
the same time, he could not refrain from remarking upon
the deficiencies which he had observed in the royal speech.
He regretted that no notice had been taken of the recent
distress which had prevailed among the working classes,
and of the noble generosity on the part of the wealthier
classes which it had evoked. He passed on to express his
surprise that nothing had been said in the royal
speech of the general financial condition of the
country, and contrasted in this respect the 11161.
nee of the speech from the throne with that
delivered by the Emperor of the French at the opening of
the Legislative Chambers. No one viewed with more re-
gret than himself the present disruption of the United
States, both as to the disastrous consequences to the States
themselves and to the effect which would be procluoed
upon the manufacturing classes of this country. He trusted
that the present condition of the United States would lead
in this country to • more serious comideratiou of the best
mean' for procuring • supply of cotton from other dis-
tricts. In brief terms he next congratulated
her Majesty on the reception which the Prince
of Wales had met in Canada and the United States,
and on the perfect manner in which his royal highness had
conducted himself. Lord Derby then briefly touched upon
the rebellicm in New Zsalaud, mai the position of India
--eulogising the military and naval operations which
had brought the war in China to • successful termination.
Passim; to the foreign relations of the country, he expressed
his wish to bear from her Majesty's government the state of
our relations with France on two points— the Syrian ex-
pedition and the affairs of Italy. As to the first point, he
would be glad to hear whether any time had been appointed
for the withdrawal of the French troops front Syria,
and also whether the French government had deter-
mined to insist on a further occupation of the country. Is
speaking of Italian affairs he wished to know what was the
position in which her Majesty's government stood with re-
gard to the present state of Italy and its future prospects.
After commenting in severe terms upon the police of Bar-
dials and the discrepancies between Lord John Russell's
despatch of the 31st of August and that of the 27th of Oc-
tober, he asked whether the policy of her Majesty's govern-
ment was in concert with that of the Emperor of the
French, and whether they were parties to the course the
French Emperor was pursuing. He wished to know upon
the principles of which despatch the 'government in-
&toiled to act, because if Sardinia were justified is in-
terfering in Naples she would be equally justified
in interfering in Venetia. He continued—When I
see such an army and nation, with the Emperor at its
head, and when I see that, not satisfied with that great
display of force, be is now exerting himself to enhance his
forces, and more especially in that particular department in
which it is absolutely necessary for us to namtain our au-
periority—when I see those efforts nicking to increase the
navy of France, I cannot help thinking that although it
may be the wish of the Emperor and his earuest desire to
keep on friendly terms with England, or certainly to make
the people of England believe that to be his dame, yet
cannot divest my mind of the apprehension that all these
efforts are directed tower& the possible cootie-
gency of a rupture with this country ; and
that, comequently, while we are apparently on
terms of the strongest alliance, we are running a nice of
military preparations, but with this difference, that the
military preparations of France must be for aggremies, and
the military preparations of England am only be for them
defences which are essential to the existence of the nation.
But even supposing we give entire credit to the declarations
of the Emperor of the French, what do I find in his speech!
1 find that France is of course very desirous to preserve the
peace, but that some perms have desired that the influence
of France should be placed at the head of every
revolution, and others would have France at the head of
every reactionary movement ' • and that the Emperor is cot
committed to either, but is perfectly free to be either revo-
lutionary or reactionary. Then be says it is enough for the
grandeur or for the greatness of France that she should
maintain her rights, defend her honour when it is attacked,
or lend her assistance when it is invoked in favour of a just
muse. Now, I ask what passible contingency there is which
is not included under these three exceptions to the general
pacific policy of France! To defend her rights and honour
when attacked—there can be no question about that ; but
when you come to rendering assistance to a just CALM,
who but he himself is to be the judge of whe-
ther it is a just cause or not! No man would ever avow
that he intends entering into a contest for an unjust cause.
But there is another point ; it is "to maintain the indis-
putable rights of France," and the Emperor select; an in-
stance and an exemplifiation of what he means ; and what
is it I " Maintaining the indisputable rights of France" con.
sista in " having allowed" the annexation of Savoy and
Nice "which are now irrevocably united to France." Now
if that be an example of the maintenance of the indimut-
able rights of France, I ask what possible limit there can
he, or bow there can be any war of aggression brought
forward 'ray France for the mere purpose of in-
creased territory and power which will nut come
under one of those three cases, the vindication of
national !amour, the nutintenance of the indisputable rights
of Freme, or rendering assistance to a just muse! It is for
these reasons I um very anxious to know from her Majesty's
government whether they still have that confidence io the
peaceful intentions of the Emperor of the French which is
so desirable. I do cot ask the noble earl opposite to re-
concile the two despatches, fax I would not ask hini
to perform inipossibilitien ; but to state by which
of those two principles in the future we are to be
guided, namely, whether we ought to maintain
and secure absolute non-intervention by one state
in the affairs of another state, or whether it is perfectly
just, lawful, and patriotic for us to step in and assist any
struggling people against ,oppression. It is not an un-
important question with regard to the future or the pre-
sent. There is no doubt that the attitude of France
now causes that alarm and fear of a general con-
vulsion which is saddling this country with an amount
of taxation in time of peace absolutely unprecedented.
But, my lords, I should be very sorry if the present state
of things continue without any relief from the pressure of
taxation. (Hear, hear.) I want to know how loog. that
time of uncertiday is to continue--how low- the rivalry
between this and a reighbouring and powerfurcouotry is to
last —and how long, under a guise of peace, a war taxation
is to be kept up, and what are the principles of her Ma-
jesty's goverument -. whether her blajestv's government
me at this moment acting with regard to European policy
in full concert with the Emperor of the French, or whether
we are really on the same footing with him as we are with
other nations with whom we have no cause of quarrel, such
as Russia, Austria, arid other countries. It is of great
importance that we should know our real position, and it
is for the purpose of enabling her Majesty's govern-
ment to give such explanations as they may be en-
abled to give—and I hope satisfactory explanations— as
to their views, and feelings, and intentions, and principles,
that I have thought it necessary to trespass upon the time
of your lonlships with some observations upon the speech
which her Majesty has delivered from the throne, and upon
the address, to which, I am hap pv to say, I see no occasion
to move an amendment. (Loud cheers.)

Earl ORANITILLE replied, defending the course of the
governmeat upon Italian affairs, and challenging a full dis-
cussion of their foreign policy when the papers which Lad
hen laid on the table were published and had been studied
by noble lords. Towards Fiance, he said, their relations
were neither those of blind distrust nor blind coutidence,
bid were prompted by a sincere de.ire to maintain the
meet conlial friendship between two great nations, whose
cooperation ahuost ensured the peace and prosperity of
