IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS—This Evening,

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

THE DANO•GERMAN WAR.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUH begged to put the ques-
tion to the noble earl the Secretary for Foreign Affairs of
which he had given notice. As the Conference would
meet again on the 28th he should like to know
how far the engagements entered into on the 9th by the
Prussians in Jutland had been fulfilled. If they had not
been observed to the letter he must say they could have but
little faith in those that might be made for the future. The
Prussians and Austrians had agreed that they would not
interfere with the commerce, that thty would not interfere
with the intercourse with the country they occupied,
that they would not levy any fresh war ccntri-
bution., and that they would pay for everything
they req red. If he had not been greatly misinformed
hardly one of the engagements had been fully carried out. i
The commerce had been interfered with, the telegraphs
removed, and the rations for the army demanded, but not
delivered on the 12th were ordered to be sent in imme-
diately on pain of the defaulters being put upon bread and
water. In some cases payment had been made
for articles supplied, but not in money, instead
of which receipts were given which were of
no marketable value. There appeared to be an impression
amongst the German Powers that, do what we might, we
should not lift oar arm to stop their wrongdoing. The noble
earl then proceeded to make some strong comments upon
the foreign policy of the Government and concluded by
asking his question.
Earl RUSSELL said when the noble earl gave his
notice to put the question relative to the position of
affairs in Jutlan3, he did not tell him that he intended
to make an attack on the policy of the Government, and
also that he intended to touch upon the question of Poland.
lie could not but think that it would have been but
lair that he should have intimated his intention
of taking the course he had done. The question he had
told him he should put was regarding the manner in
which the armistice had been observed by the Prussians
in Jutland. The Danish Government had intimated its
intention of collecting the whole of the facts connected
with the matter, and as soon as that had been accomplished
it would make a statement on the subject. That he
considered to be the best course, and it would be bettter
to wait for that statement rather than to rely upon
statements from private parties appearing in the newspa-
pers. The King of Prussia had sent to Marshal Wrai2gel
the terms of the armistice, and he had also directed
him to pay for all supplies that might be
required after the 12th. That was the statement
received from our ambassador at Berlin, and although
the commando of the King might have been in
the hands of Marshal Wrangel,' it most likely
that many of the officers in command in the more distant
parts bad not received the same command. He believed it
was true that payments had been made for rations in receipt
in place of money, but the better course would be to watt
until the statement he had befofe alluded to was forth-
cuming. The noble eari then defended the foreign policy
of the Government, and said whilst we were bound
to defend our honour whenever and wherever it might be
attacked, their lordships must remember that this country
was not alone responsible for the maintenance of the
balance of power in Europe.
