ken. anelearused gentleman was sass/lid in tones of vitu-
peration and was told he was taking an un-Englieh course.
(Hear, gear.) The first Lord of the Treasury, speaking of
the Shell of Persia, said he was in the habit of boasting in
his Durbar. Well, there were other great men who equally
boasted in their Durham. (Laughter.) The noble lord, in
the Persian style—having been secured of being a most
popular tninioter—yielded to the soft impeachment, and
aid, "True it is, I am popular; true it ie, I have the con-
fidence of the country ; but do you know the cruse of my
popularity? It ie your reolutions." (Hear, hear.) Of
course gentlemen opposite would cry "hear, hear,'
and in ranking that remark he intended they should
do ro. (Laughter.) New, what were tho resolu-
tions of the hon. and learned gentleman: Ho re-

membered weer.' occasions on whicliqhe hon. end learned
gentleman had prepared resolutions for the =option of the
house. There woe his famous resolution for an inquiry into
the state of the English army before Sebastopol. Woe that
an un-Englieh resolution? (Hear, hear.) Wee that an un-
cen-titutioual resolution) (Hear, bear.) Why, the noble
lord,who was one of the guilty ministers, yielded to that vote.
(leer, bear.) But there wee another memorable resolution
which the noble lord could not have forgotten, which wee
brought forward by the hon. and learned member. It was
proposed at a time when the turbulent and aggressive policy
of the noble lord was brought under the conaidemtiou of the
howw by an eminent statesman, and when a large and
powerful party, smelling sound principles of policy, called
upon the Ileum of Commons to reel with its strong reprobo-
lion the injurious policy of the noble lord—it wee then that
the hon. and learned gentleman proposed one of his tin-Eng-
lish rep...bale= and by a want majority continued the earner
of the noble lord. (Laughter and cheers.) The younger
111(1111/0111 of the house might learn from what hid occurred,
the gratitude they would receive, if, in future momenta of
delusion, and from thedenire to save a minister from difficulty,
or extricate him tunic a strait, they proposed resolution@
to support the policy or vindicate the conduct of the noble
lord. (Cheers and laughter.) A few years would pass, and
only a few years' before they would be held up to the 91.012
and ridicule of the house, becalm they were movers of an-
English resolutions. (f, Oh, oh," and cheers.) 'rhos° gen-
tleman who were so eager to express their murmurs of dis-
sent, and to vindicate the noble lord, might learn from the
lesson of that night the future that awaited them. (.. Hear,
hear," and laughter.) Now, let the house consider whether
the premieoe of the bon. and learned gentleman justified hie
conclusion. No doubt that conclusion was a grave one, and
if it Should be established, grave as it war, he (Mr. Diototi)
would not shrink Iron, the responsibility of votin,r for it.
(Hoar, hear.) But it was necessary to look scrupulously to
the facts, to ascertain whether they justified the conclusions
of the hon. and learned gentleman. The resolution called
arm the house to assert " that the war with Persia was
declanql, prosecuted, and concluded, without infiinuat ion of
such transaction being communicated to parliament." Now,
was that the fact It was tree the houre had not been
treated with that candour with whith it would
have been wise fur any minister, however popular or
powerful, to have treated them. But he could not get over the
fact that when parliament met there was an announcement
in the Queen's eprech of war with Persia, and ho thought
that the proper time for mooting the question won on the
eddrese. (Hear, hear.) 110 did not agree in the principle
thvt Indian wars were to be token from the control of parlia-
ment, even if an inimeliate appeal wee not made to the
country . • for the basis of Indian finance was the credit of
Euglond• and when wo heard of the treasures of India being
plundered—when no one could tell by what machinery, for
tame time to come, the runner of India could be collected—
he thought we should be acting in the most indiscreet manner
in allowing an Indian war to pees without criticism. (Hear,
heir.) The country, however, at the beginning of the het
session, having been apprised that the war hail been under-
taken, he could nut agree to the resolution which declared
that it had been prosecuted and concluded without informa-
tion of such transaction having been communicated to parlia-
ment. (Hear, Lear.) He thought the government
had acted unwisely end erroneously in not communicat-
ing their policy to parlioniont, but he could not think
the late parliament was free from blame in allowing the eon-
duet of the government so long to pass unnoticed. (Hear.)
' Did it become an =seedily that had been backward in its
duty to agree to a resolution of so uncompromising a charac-
ter ! He could not think the circumstances of late justified
such a course' but he believed that the debate would not be
without profit to the privileges of parliament, He thought It
would be better for the hon. and learned gentleman not to
divide but whatever course might be adopted, he (Hr.
Dienv;li) was of opinion the premises of the case did not justify
sr swelying a conclusion, and he should therefore vote for
the motion for going into committee of supply. (Cheers and
laughter.)
