em not going to mate, either upon t`fe or upon a domestic
'object, anything of a party nature, beesros with regard
to the general principles upon which our foreii,.3 otitis
should be conducted, I listened last ye:,- to a see 'b of Lord
Derby, then Prime Minister, in the Ms- ion-horse, London,
cud there was nothing in that speech l'em wi 'et I for nd it
eecessary to differ. I believe that our eclairs tuu,t r'wsya be
conducted with due regard to the rights sad 'ndeptelinsee of
foreign rt.:ons ; that the rule of doing el we would be done
by is not only a maxim of Christian morality, but the nil
of oneational conduct. (Ch ere) But when we apply

every quarkr of the globe, dependencies in every quarter
of the glebe, there cannot is' to come, :rem time to time,

with other nations. Now, gentlemen, neon each aro.

rate, to be patient, but at the came time not to do
anything which should dig', 'rh the feeling of gel:'
respect which a nation as well as en individual ought to
maintain. (Cheers.) In short, if we forbear, our forbore
mos should Mews be the forbearance of streag.h, and not
the sbriztling of weakness. (Load cheers.) Gentlemen,
there is a question on which I ail metres to touch before I
cowhide, because, though not one In which we have taken
en immediate pert, it is one in which I th't' every Briton
must take a deep interest. I allude to tbot wb'oh has taken
place, and is tritium place, in It ty. (Cheats.) Yea will
permit me to refer to events of some Vire back, bat which
are a clue to that which is happen'og at the present
montimt. For centdries the Ita"rn people—a people
t:ch both in commence and agricel..-.1 -have been

subject to foreign Power, —wont' mr •,. to Pia Germane,
soareemee to the French. Abort s:-.ty years ago •
general, ..ol of youth, full of groove, ....9 of °epoch/ of every
kind, both for war ea foe del arsirs, entered Poly and de-
clared that he came to give liber.y to that pr*. The
I ilk s geople were delighted—the whole of Lombardy Ira
in • rue of joy and entary, and although b's warlike
operatiort ware sue ens://, yet for a time it came to h that
the French govna'neat was the WWII mama a Italy, sad
to 1814 the people of Lombardy were evens to that foreign
dorrhdoe, and es..iestly desired • ohange. They applied
to es English general, Lord William Bentinek, as honest
a lover of liberty as ever existed; they applied to him,
and they applied affietwards to the English minister, to
learn whet was to be their fate. The Eagliah minister
told them that their fate wee very well oettled—that
the Emperor of Alma had been Pad enough to declare
that he wor'd take charge of Lombardy, and theret ire he,
the Imeisb Minister, bad only to ram item to the Austrian
Minister. (Hoer, and • laugh.) Well, they have had this
new govarment up to 1859—t0 the present time—and every
year they became more rod more averse to it. Well, I am
mot saying whether they werejuatified in their dla'ike of the
former French govet.assent or of the late dusters gem:a-
-ssent—l am only felling you what was the fact knorra to
you all—no mom. Well, it hid oocurrci some ten or twdve
years ago to some men of very ardent hopes and groat literary
telwata, that them foreign notices hod not succeeded is
attaining the afisetima or confidence of the Itellana
--that the Italian' might as well roma Italy themselves-
It was • new notion, but not • rely unnatural one. In
1848-49 they made the attempt. Unfortunately they
suecceded so RI that they gave people a rest distrust
of lisle power of self-gove.nment ; but the Emperor of the
Trend having conquered Lombardy in the present year
made • wise and magnanimous declaration that be did not
pto conquer Lombardy for himself, but that the Items
shook! be the free clttsons of a great country. The Italians,
not wily In Lombudy, but la Tuscany, Moises, end Parma
Moe sited won this decimation, and they have made tem-
,
pest, sod pm:slow' governments to their-ilme, deela-ing
dot they wish hermiter to he the ::(13 kit' ens of a great
reentry. (Applanee.) Wcll, I ask, has there been any
mischief produced? Because I th'ik with regard to this
mutter of stets and nations regoiat'ng their own government,
it hi not very different from that at • man--say In this city of
Aberdeett—reiolatlng his own house. (Applause, and •
hentb.) But, at the rare time, it is possible that a man
WV wimp his boar In such a way as to be a grout noi-
some In lie wiliblasers. (Laughter.) For Inetance, he
may it • pyrotechnic maosfectoey In his house, making
agentvrole to try his skill, and, it may be, sending up sky.
rockets %to the air every evening in order to see the effect.
This would not seem to be agreeable, becalm other house-
holders might conceive that their house* might be set on firs.
Instead of wishing to encourage the gentleman to do what-
ever he pleases In his own house, the Lord Provost might be
oiled on to interfere with that gentleman became he was
likely to net fire to the houses of his neighbours—(4%4liter)—
but has anything of that sort occurred in Italy ? Can any
man say there is ouch a disturbance of order at Musa,
Modem, or Florence, that the neighbor -s— the
Austri: nit, or other neighbours—are celled upon c.,
interfere? (Cheer..) On the contrary, the conduct of
this people, just emrocipated, who have been subject
to foreign tile for many years, who might have been ex-
pected to burst into some excere—poseibly some outing*
against the persons who are most odious to them—they
have conducted their matters with perfect order—with
such order as if they had been the citizens of a country
which had long been fres. (Cheery.) Well, then, gentle
men, I say, though we are claim no credit for having
enabled these people to assert their freedom—although
we have been bystanders, and, I Wok for very good
and sufficient reasons have taken no part in the hustiiities
of this spring;l yet think we are bound to say—we do
any. and we have said—that against any interterence of
foreign force to prevent those people having their own
government and conducting their affairs es they like, we
au most loudly end solemnly protest—(oted cheers)—
and therefore, gentlemen, be the terms of the treaty now
negotiated what they may, if hereafter, consequent upon that
treety, there *hall be that of whkii you have heard, no
doubt, sad which has been frequently talked of—if there
shall be • congress of the Powers of Europe—if It shell be
the wish of those Powers whict have takes part In those hos-
tilities that in the final settlement of Italy and the acknow-
leigineut of the different States belonging to it the other
Powers of Europe ehotod take part in these consultations,
se might aesist only upon one condition, namely, that with
respect to using foreign lime in order t, compel fulfil-
trout of the oonditems of peace, whatever they may'
be, so es not to interfere with the right of the people
of this country to manses their own rincterne—that,
if such should be the object, or may be the result of
such language, England may stand sport and take no 0,10. 1
tern. (Loud applause.) But, gentlemen, I feel convinced,
and ouch il, the languor., not of one of those powers, but of
both there powers, that whatever their opinions may be as to
what has taken place—and the Austrian government cannot
be exp cted to approve of the revolution in Modena and Tarr
as I believe neither power has any intention to M-
teeter* by force with the decision of those people,. I think
it a matter of groat importance that it should be so, became
that system—which is rieber dieguised than expressed by
the shrift, the balance of poser—that .}stem means that
the different stains shall be independent, that they atoll
111111•011 their own concerns, and that no me state
should have the preponderanoe In Europe, or dictate
whet ebould be that cousffintion, or what should be the
inteidal government of the rat. And happy so we are in
this country in independence lour acquired, it is not only our
interest, but I think it moat be our wish, to me that every
ewe in Europe, ehmber they prefer a eyelets which we
think not compatible with liberty, or whether they prefer •
mat and temperate system of iepeemetatime monarchy, or
whether th prefer any other tam MI government, pro-
vided they 'lo not interfere with their nalehboure-1 thick

LATEST INTELLICOLNUE.

THE QONSPIRACY AT CONSTANTINOPLE.
The Paris Presse conteins a rem•-klbly interest-
ing leper, giving &detailed account of the r. 'fatly
dibcovered cor• it:racy at Constanenop'-. The cor•
respondent says that the Turkish gore...meat has
takenextraord'auy precautions t 3 con, •' t'le real
character of the plot. A vast s-cret :iety, con-
s;sting of not less than 16,000 or 18,000 members,
among whom were many pacbss end men of the
highest rank in Turkey, had det.n.ened to rest
the Sultan and his ministers and change the foss' o
government. The leaders of the conspiracy were
the Sheik Ahmed, a Kurde; a distinguished general
officer named Tcherkep ; Hussein Pacha, who served
at the siege of Ears; Hassan Pacha, a general of
artillery; Djafer Paths, an Albe”ien; end ons
mufti of the oouncil of Tephane, Bek;r-Effenty.
Haman Pacha, doubly a traitor, bettayed the • nt-
spirators to Riza Pachs, the r'-'st•r at
war. It is report:d that he w • 1 : to
take this step by a resolution voted by a majority
that in case of resistance the Sultan and all Ft
ministers should be put to death. It 't, however,
very generally believed that this story 's an ;nven-
tion of Hassan Paella's to excuse h;mr•zlf. kit
Effendi, a functionary of some impor' -11( 1, who
was one of the conspirators, endeavoured, it is tr'd
to dissuade Hassan Pacha from his project of
betrayal, but finding his eloquence unays".-4, he
joined in the denunciation and made a full coots
eon. Djafer Puha, while being escorted ;ti a boat
with ten others, on their way to prison, eluded the
vigilance of b;a guards, jumped into the water, end
has not since been heard of. Aa he was a good
swimmer it is thought possible that he may have
escaped. There are visions versus as to the

drains of the consplistive if they had
been enocesaful. Some say that they in-
tended to proclaim the Sultan's brother, other.
his eldest son. A draft of a &venter despatch
to the powers of Europe has been found, in which
it is declared that there was nothing in the revolt'.
ticei hostile to progress, civilisation, or, moot rap-ci-
ally, to Christians. The prisoners who have been
examined have for the most part openly avowed the
facts with which they are charged. One, a Circas-
