HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY, JULY 8.

The Loth CIANCILLOI Wok his eset upce the wools,"
at Owe o'clock.

Several perste bills were advanced a stage.
THE AFFAIRS OF ITALY.
Lord STRATFORD DR REDCLIFFE, in withdrawing
his motion on the Italian correspondence, said that he did so
in eaasegaence of the intelligence that an armistice had ben
oottdoded between Fume and Au tae, and he thought it
would be better to avoid espreeslons of opinion which would
only embarrass bee Majesty's government under present cir-
cumstances. He thought it was duet, her Majesty's go-
vernment that be should state that the motion bad not
emanated from any consultation with them, and that he
alone was responsible for it. He could not abandon the
motion without expressing his fervent wish that the govern-
ment would insist upon the voice of this country being heard
in the negotiations which would ensue. In withdrawing his
motley he reserved to himself the faculty of bringing it for-
ward on a future °cession if the course of events should
render it expedient to do en.
Lord BROUGHAM inierposed, rebuking the noble
viscount for entering upon copies which he bad himself
a*nowledged to be so inconvenient. He trusted that the
trans would extend from the north of Italy even to that
hones.
Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE briefly remarked
that he bad no intention, but quite the reverse of provoking
any dlecussion.
The Marquis of NORMANBY concurred in believing a
postpmmosot of all debate on the batten question advisable
under existing clrcumstanom. He intimated, however, his
lack of conedence in the present ministry, and while recom-
mending the government to watch narrowly the progress of
events abroad, enjoined the house to watch the conduct of the

goverment.
Earl GRANVILLE. I rise for the purpose of
thanking my noble friend at behalf of the government,
and I almost venture to gay on behalf of the whole
house, for the course be has taken in withdrawing his
motion. (Hear, hear.) I certainly agree with him—having
reference to the intelligence we have remised to-day—in the
course he has taken with regard to his motion.
Whatever may be the ultimate result of the
intelligence which we have received, though it may not af-
ford proofs that peace has absolutely arrived, still it is satis-
factory to receive intelligence that the powers, of Francs and
Austria have made a step towards endeavouring to mese to
an Arrangement, which will tend to prevent the further
effusion of blood. (Hear, hear.) All of your lordships
mast deprecate any act or weed which cAniog from say of
us is calculated to do mischief, and therefore thoroughly
. .

concur io and thank my noble friend for the course- hi
has taken. Your lordships will, I ern sure, all
feel that I should not be justified in following
my noble friend in the subsequent pert of his speech.
It would bo neither prudent nor discreet for say individual
member of your lordships' house to dwell on this subject at
the preterit moment ; but it would be a positive dereliction of
duty on the part of the government, as the faithful servants
of the Crown. to attsmpt to enter on the discussion of a sub-
ject at a time when discussion might mete difficulties abroad,
sad plops as fa a disadvantageous position for the exercise of
that tangoes which I hope, when the proper lime comes,
will be irmweined in the conduct of any negotiations which
may take place.
The motion was then withdrawn, and the house adjourned
at 20 minutes to six.
