West Indies. (Hear, hear.) It is found, unfortune.tely,
that, though born in the West Indies, they 12:45 hot that
immunity which belongs to their race in respect to the
effects to which Europeans are 'exposed in the African
climate. It was the duty of the Government—and I say
that duty has been perfa.iTaed—to take every precaution
which, medically, o.l' as respects the commissariat, and
other arrangenr,nts, they could take in order to protect
the troops from the effects of the climate. More parti-
cularly we felt it incumbent upon us to take those
precautions, because, although the men might be ex-
pected to have immunity from the effects of the climate, yet
the officers were Europeans, and could not be expected to
be equally protected from the climate. (Hear, hear.) And
I contend that any man who will read those papers, any
man who has listened to this debate, must see, and if they
are impartial men will acknowledge, that there is nothing
which the Government could have done which, they have
failed to do, (Oh, oh.) Oh, Ido not expect non. gentlemen
opposite to agree with that. (Oh, oh, and cheers.) I am
addressing all those who have net formed a foregone con •
elusion. I appeal to the body, of the house, and I say they
ought to make allowancr, for a Government who have to
follow a course of policy marked out by those who went
before them. Tnat policy could not be followed without a
great loss of ; still, it was felt the honour of the country
ought to be maintained, and it was their duty to make an
effort. lam glad to find this expedition was not so fatal as
was feared by some and has been represented by others. I
only hope the house will act with judgment in the matter,
and that, instead of supporting the censure of the gallant
officer, they will go into committee of supply, and will in
fact outvote the motion. (Cheers.)
Mr DISRAELI, who was received with loud cheers, said
—I cannot refuse the challenge of the noble lord, although
so far as I am concerned I should like the debate to be
closed. I am, glad, however, that the noble lord deigned
in the latter part of his speech to address the house in that
tone of gravity which I think somewhat becomes the sub-
ject. (Cheers.) I must say for my own part I rather prefer
the noble lord when he gives us the advantage of his long ex-
perience and speaks to us without that affectation of unne-
cessary levity—(Oh, oh, and cheers)—which it does not be-
come the leading statesman of the greatest country in the
world to adopt, but which the noble lord seems to think ne-
cessary in compliment to the House of Commons to introduce
into every debate. (Cheers.) The noble lord says it is very
easy to make loud and unfounded assertions, and I quite
agree with him. (Laughter and cheers,) I listen to the
noble lord often and admire the manner, and as I would
say if 1 were speaking of any one else in the house, the
happy effrontery with which he makes unfounded asser-
tions. (Oh, oh, and cheers.) But I think to-night the
noble lord has exceeded himself, and I will show the house
that he has far exceeded any achievement of that class
which has ever before illustrated his name. The noble lord
has dwelt on a subject which has not engaged our attention
to-night, the policy of the war. But not content with
leaving his opponents untouched on that subject, his vin-
dication was this, that he followed the policy traced out
and established by the Government of Lord Derby. I have
been an humble member of that Government, and I am un- '
aware that—

Lord PALMERSTON—If I said the Government of
Lord Derby I made a slip of the tongue. (Laughter.) It
was the policy of a Government of which Lord Derby was
a member.

Mr DISRAELI—The noble lord says that he has made a
slip of the tongue—(opposition cheer;)—but he is in error in
his subsequent statement also. The noble lord has recalled
his first statement that it was the policy of Lord Derby's
Government. He now says that it was the policy of a
Goverment in which Lord Derby was Secretary of State.
I presume the noble tord refers to the Government of Sir
R. Peel in 1841. 13'nless lam entirely misinformed and
have mistaken what 1 read, the protection of the Palates
tribes, and of all those tribes who have engaged our atten•
tion to-night, was placed under this country at the conclu-
sion tat a war in 1826, when the Cape Coast settlement was
ee,sablished. (Cheers,) When the noble lord therefore
speaks of bold and unfounded assertions he ought to
have informed himself of the events which happened
in his own official experience—he ought to look at
home, he ought not to make statements which were utterly
unfounded, or addressed the houso under the circumstances
in which he addressed them, and with a confidence that
was so characteristic of him. (Cheers ) In that style of
Parliamentary language which distinguishes the noble lord,
he saes that the resolution is founded on an untruth. The
noble lord did not prove that assertion. The language of
the resolution is that sufficient provision was not made to
preserve the health of the troops employed in this service.
Will any one maintain that there was sufficient provision
made for maintaining the health of the troops ? (Hear.)
The resolution then speaks of the want of foresight which
caused this loss of life. Will any one maintain that there
was no want of foresight ? Thero was sufficient provision
made to produce disaster, and sufficient foresight to see that
calamity would be accomplished. (Hear.) The somewhat
blustering statement of the noble lord must end in the refu-
tation of the very position he has endeavoured to take. It
has been said that we on this side took care to declare that
this was no party question. I have not remarked that ex-
pression particularly from this side of the house. Ido
not know that I have heard it except from the colleague
of the noble lord who made that peculiar speech to-night,
from which it would appear that he was speaking about
what he did not know. (Cheers.) But if great disas-
ters have occurred in the conduct of an expedition, is
it not the duty of the Opposition to call the attention
of Parliament to it. (Hear, hear) Is it not in accordance
with the very spirit of constitutional Government to do
so ? (Hear, hear.) Is it not our duty to ask what is the
cause of public disaster, and who are responsible for results
that have filled the country with mourning ? I should be
ashamed of ourselves if such incidents were passed un-
noticed. (Hear, hear.) But if the noble lord thinks that
any concerted scheme was got up to make a trial of
strength, he speaks with inaccurate information on the sub-
ject. (Hear, hear.) Nothing was more natural than that
my hon. and gallant friend should have called attention to
this subject. (Hear, hear.) He drew the resolution him-
self. Only one word was omitted, which some friends told
my honourable and gallant friend was not a parliamentary
phrase. I think it is expedient and desirable to follow the
precedents of language on these occasions, by following
which we generally manage to conduct affairs without any
unnecessary acerbity of expression, (Hear.) But my hon.
and gallant friend did not wish to conceal that his object
was to pass a censure on the administration, which is either
guilty or not guilty. (Hear, hear.) I maintain that the
house of Commons could not pass over this occurrence un-
noticed. It is parliamentary and constitutional to ask the
opinion of the House of Commons on such a question, I
have heard no answer to the statements which have been
made, and I maintain that the tone of the prime minister
is quite unworthy of the subject. (Cheers.)
Lord PALMERSTON—What I stated in reference to
Lord Derby was, that the protectorate was resumed in 1842,
when Sir R. Peel was prime minister and Lord Derby was
a member of his Government.
Mr DISRAELI—Yes ; but it was resumed on the report
of a committee of the House of Commons recommending
the resumptien. (Hoar, hear.)
The house then, divided, when the numbers were
For the original motion ............ 233
For the amendment .................. 226
Majority for the government ........ —7
As soon as the voting paper was taken by Mr Brand, the
result of the division, being revealed before the numbers
were announced, was greeted with prolonged cheering by
the minieterialists.
After the announcement of the numbers the cheering was
taken up by the opposition, and continued for many seconds
from both sides of the house.
The report of supply was brought up and agreed to.

' At Monday's meeting of the Royal Geographical Society
a letter was read from M. Chaillu, who had arrived on the
western coast of Africa, near to the point from which he
formerly penetrated the interior.
Sir R. MURCHISON stated that M. Chaillu had expended
all the money gained by the publication of his book in fit-
ting out his new expedition ; that he had taken out a supply
' of instruments to enable him to.make accurate observations
and establish the points on which doubts had bees thrown;
but en conveying the instruments to shore the canoe con-
' taining them was upset, and they were lost. M. Chaillu
was in consequence detained until fresh instruments, which
the Geographical- Society had provided for him, were re-
ceived. his letter, addressed to Sir Roderick, ean enter-

M. Chaillu's fowls from time to time disappeared. When he
complained,

but the ppearanee of ten fowls in one night was more
than such a cause could explain, and M. Chaillu insisted on
the discovery and punishment of the culprits. lie was at
first informed that they could not be found, but that two
other persons might be punished instead of them. To this
substitution of the innocent for the guilty he would not
consent ; and as ho became peremptory in his demand for
justice, the real offenders were produced, and they proved
to be one of the King's wives, his brother's sister, and two
dther women. An offer was made to make compensation by
fine, but he insisted on the fulfilment of the law, lie was
then told that he must flog them himself. That proposition
declined, but he appointed their nearest relatives to exe-
