WHICHWOOD FOREST BILL.
On the motion of Lord STANLEY of Alderley, this bill

THE BURMESE WAR.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH rose to inquire
whether her Majesty's Government are prepared to give
papers explanatory of the present state of the war in
Burmah, and of the negotiations entered into with the
Burmese Government. Since the last time he had men-
tioned this subject, a revolution had taken place in Avis,
but General Godwin, owing to the want of the means
for land transport, had not been able to take advantage
of this change, and had not advanced farther into the
country. After recounting the various operations of
the war, the noble earl proceeded to say that, at the
present moment, the Government and the army in
Burmah were in a false position. The late operations
had been undertaken on political and not on military
motives, and the consequence was that we were placed
in a position of imminent danger. To extricate
ourselves from this position, it would be neces-
sary for the Government to turn a deaf ear
to the suggestions of those speculators who desired to
have the cutting down of the forests of Pegu, and con-
centrate all the detached bodies scattered through that
prov nce upon Prome. We ought immediately to form
good military roads, bet ween our provinces and Arracan,
and a')andon theprovine eof Pegu. He regretted that this
war had ever been undertaken ; he knew that there was
a co.() Irable pretence for it, but there was not the slight-
e chimes that it could ever. be of the slightest advan-
tage to this country, while it must cost, at least,
1,000,0001. or 1,200,0001. a year. He pressed on the
Government the necessity of increasing the European
forces in India, and he hoped it would not be for-
gotten that in the present state of the Turkish
question, that there was an Asiatic as well as an European
power, and it. was necessary for us to be strong in India
as well as everywhere else.
Earl GRAN VILLE said the Government were de-
sirous of giving every information in their power, but
they had not any further papers to lay before Parlia-
ment.
The Earl of ALBEMARLE rose, and was
(LEFT SPEAKING.)
