HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.)
AIEDICAL GRMY(T..kIPES (LONDON UNIVER-

SIT BILL
Lord MONTEAGLE Y)
moved the second reading of
this a short explanation of its ob)ects, which
have already been fully reported.
The Duke of ARGYLL approved of the principles of
the bill, but feared. that it would settle the grievances of
the profession in a partial manner. At preser:t licen-
tiates of the medical schools of Edinburgh and Glasgow
were prevented practising in England, and their case
was not provided for by this bill. It was quite clear
that thiv exclusion could not be preserved, but that in
any general measure of medical reform we must have
free trade in doctors as well as anything else. Pending
that measure, he would confine the privileges conferred
on graduates of London, to a removal of thy penalties
respecting vaccination and lunacy, which were provided
for by the second clause. He begged to remind the
house that this bill, although supported in the other
house by Lord Palmerston and Lord. J. Russell, was by
no means to be considered as a Government measure.
He moved that the object of ths bill be confined to re-
moving the pains and penalties inflicted for practising in
vaccination and lunacy cases.
Lord CAMPBELL asserted the claims of the Scotch
universities, bUt was willing to accept the compromise
proposed by the noble duke, pending a general measure
of medical reform.

Lord MONTEA GLE replied.
Lord BROUGLIA.M. defended the bill, as being only
a just following up of the charter upon which the Uni-
versity of London was founded.
After a short discussion the bill Was read a second
time, with the understanding that the Duke of Argyll's
suggestion should be considered in committee.
POOR LAW CONTINUANCE (IRELAND) BILL.
This bill was read a third time and passed.
HERITABLE SECURITIES (SCOTLAND) BILL.
This bill passed through committee.
JUDGMENT EXECUTION BILL.

This bill was read a second time.
NATIONAL GALLERY (DUBLIN) BILL.

Tr.b
bill went through committee, and was reported.
posrAL ARRANGEMENTS, IRELAND.
The Kiri of DONOUGHMORE rose to call attention
to the state of postal communication in Ireland. He
stated the fact to be, that since the establishment of rail-
ways in Ireland, there was less postal accommodation
than before.

Viscount CANNING could assure the noble earl that
the Government, both then and at all times, were quite
ready to make any improvements which were needed.
He could assure that house that the Post-office authori-
ties were most anxious that justice should be done to the
commercial connnunity of the sister country.
After a few words from Lord MONTICAGLE, the sub-
ject dropped.
Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF OOMMONS(YESTERDAY.)
The house resumed at six o'clock.
QUEEN'S MESSAGE.—ADJOURNED DEBATE.
Mr. BOtJVERIE having brought up the report of sup-
ply on the vote of credit.
On the question that the resolution be read a second
time,

Lord D. STUART rose to move the addition of the fol-
lowing amendment, of which he had given notice :
"That an humble address be presented to her Majesty, to
return her Majesty the thanks of this house for her most
gracious message, and to assure her Majesty, that her Ma-
jesty, deeming it expedient to provide for any additional
expense which may arise in consequence of the war in
which her Majesty is now engaged against the Emperor of
Russia, may fully rely on the cheerful zeal and constant
affection of her faithful C.nninous, aad to assure her Ma-
jesty that they most readily do make provision according
to her Majesty's wishes, and humbly to pray, that her
Majesty will be graciously pleased not to prorogue her Par-
liament until she shall have been enabled to afford to this
house more full information with respect both to her Ma-
jesty's relations with foreign powers, and to her views and
prospects in the contest in which her Majesty is engaged."
He had stated hist night that he thought it desirable such
a motion should be made, and the occurrences of last night
had convinced him that such a motion was now not only
desirable, but necessary. Probably the annals of Par-
liament did not record a I,imilar occurrence to that which
the house witnessed with astonishment last night, when
the loader of the Government in that house came down
on a Polemn occasion, and not in the heat of contro-
versy, and not in reply to observations made by his
opponents, but deliberately made an exposition of the
policy of the Government—of the objects which they pro.
posed to attain in the present war—and then, not after the
lapse of any length of time, but almost within the same
hour, contradicted what he had said before, and gave an
explanation which was understood by the house to be a
retractation. (Cries of " No, no.") It was an explana-
tion so different from the former statement of the noble
lord, that he knew no word by which to describe it except
" retractation." It appeared that almost every one in the
house had understood the noble lord as he had been under-
stood by the right hon. member for Bucks, the leader of
the opposition. (Cries of " No.") He did not hesitate to
say that such was the general understanding, and on look-
ing to the usual source of information in matters of that
kind, he found that by all of them tilie noble lord was un-
derstood in the same manner. He found from the report
in an organ that favoured the Government, that the noble
lord said--

treaty of peace could be considered safe which left the Em-
peror of Russia in that same tuenacis sg position with respect
. to Turkey." (Cheers) His friends had cheered that quota-
tion very much. They were delighted: with it, and so was he.
He hail cheered the declaration of the noble lord as loudly as
any one; but did the noble lord stand by it on its being
repeated? The noble lord afterwas els got up and said that
he had made use of no :inch expressiions. (Cries of "No,
no," and " Hear, hear.") The nobl e lord said, " What I
said was that I thought Russia could not be allowed to
maintain the menacing attitude wh lob she has lately done
by keeping so large a fleet at Sebas topol." (Hear.) Was
the declaration the same? (Hear.) Did the hon. gentle-
man. perceive no discrepancy between them ? According
to the latter explanation, if Russi a were to reduce her
Black Sea fleet to one-or two sail of the line, that would
bring her within the terms of the latter explanation. How
the noble lord ha-I come to diminish. his declaration to that
extent it was not for him to explains. It would seem to an
impartial spectator as if the noble lord had received some
communication from some of his colleagues either in that
house or in another place—perhaps from the noble earl at
the head of the Government, or per haps the noble lord hail

The arrogant
Russians, who talked of driving the Turks before them
like chaff, bud of taking a military promenade to Constan-
tinople, had been bold enough in affairs like Sinop°, or
against a disabled steamer stranded on their coast, but
had been ignominiously defeated by the barbarian troops
of that power which the Czar talked of as moribund. No
one last year would have dared to prophesy that Russia
would in 1851 be driven across the Danube by the Turkish
troops, unassisted by their allies. Yet such was the fact.
Of late the noble earl at the head of the Government had

hostility of Prussia; true, but that was all that could
be said of her. A treaty had been concluded between
Austria and the Porte; hut why had Austria not entered
the Prinuipalities? They had been told that Aestria
would dive the Russians out of the Principelities,
hut the Russians had' not retired, and were preparing to
defend themselves. What was meant then by the use of
such words, when Austria had not declared war. E
thing had been done to conciliate Austria.
It had very-
eve
been the policy of the Earl of Aberdeen to conciliate Aus•r

tile, and to look to Austria as if Anetriut ought to be the
guide to British eeuticils. It wee in reference to such a
disoosizien, that the noble heal the Home Secretary, now
a collaague of the Earl of Aberdeen, untie use of the re-
markable expression, in speaking of that noble earl, that
the country WfIS guided by the counsels of antiquated
imbecility. When the war 'broke out, it vvits proposed to
enrol-a body of Poles in the Turkish sae-vice. He believed
the noble lord the Homo Secretary approval of that pro-
posal, but it had been laid aside for giving offence to Aus-
tria, though it now appeared that Austria did not object
to it. It would no doubt be a great advantage to have
Austria on our side. Let the allied forees since attack
Sebastopol, as the noble lord talked of their doing, and
they would soon find Austria on their side. (Hear, hear.)
But so long as the troops of Russia were able td set at de-
fiance the allied forces of England and France, so long
would Austria be unwilling to declare war against her
Now, the hon. member for the West Riding, who in speak-
ing of him had used the expression of " his hon. and de-
luded friend," but in whose case he might return the com-
pliment by calling him his hon. and philo-Russian friend,
had observe i th it the coutest ie which we were now engaged
was nut one favourable to the cause of oppressed nationali-
ties. But was not the Emperor of Russia one of the great-
est enemies of nationality? Had not he crushed the
liberties of Poland and of Hungary, and would it not be
desirable that that arch-enemy of freedom should as far as
possible be humbled? His hon. friend had spoken of crum-
pling up Russia, but he (Lord D. Stuart) could not
see that we had as yet succeeded in making any impression
whatever upon that power. Such being the position of
affairs, after four months of war, a general distrust of the
honesty and energy of the Government in prosecuting
hostilities had begun to spread throughout the country.
The people of England had begun to entertain fears that wa
may even be hurried into some ignominious, unstable, and
unsafe peace; and that the House of Commons may- com-
bine with the Government for that end by permitting the
war to be carried on, as haul hitherto been the case, with-
out vigour or energy. Under these circuaistances be had
thought it proper to take the course which he had that
evening adopted, and for that course he might observe
that he haul the authority of precedent. A motion similar
to that which he had submitted to the house hail been
made by Mr. Dunning in the year 17SO, by Mr. Erskine in
1783, and by Mr. C. Grey, afterwards Earl Grey, in 1805.
The noble lord concluded by making the motion of which
he had given notice.
Mr. S. HERBERT said the noble lord who had just sat
down had concluded his speech by referring to precedents,
in order to justify the course which he had that evening
thought it desirable to adopt. Upon the ground of prece-
dent he had no complaint to make of the noble lord. Simi-
lar motions had been made upon questions of natures the
most diverse; but they were distinguished from that of
the noble lord by the peculiarity that they bad been brought
forward by opponents of the Government as a direct cen-
sure upon its acts,. and as an expression of want of confi-
dence in its administration of affairs. He could only say,
that if the noble lord had that evening thrown clown a chal-
lenge, the Government were ready to take it up—to offer
the noble lord battle upon his own terms, and to abide by
that decision at which, with respect to their conduct of
the war, the House of Commons—the representative
of the opinions of the country—might arrive. Before he pro-
ceeded, however, to deal with the speech of the noble lord,
he should wish to offer a few observations to the house
with reference to some statements which in the discussion
of the evening previous had been made by the hon. mem-
ber for Aylesbury (Mr. Layard). That hon. gentleman,
having made some quotations from a letter which he said
he had received from the East, bad gone on to remark that
the Duke of Wellington having complained very loudly at
the commencement of the Peninsular war af the great des
ficrency which existed in the organisation of the commis-
sariat department, had, by the application of the high ad-
mMistrative ability which he possessed, brought that de-
partment to a state of the utmost perfection towards the
conclusion of the campaign. But the hon. gentleman had
gone further, and observed that the admirable system
which had been framed under the Duke of Wellington had
at the conclusion of the late war been suddenly altered, if
not completely abolished ; so that the fruits of the Duke
of Wellington's labours bail been lost to the country.
Where the hon. member had found the materials upon
which to base that statement, ho (Mr. S. Heriiert) could
not say ; but, in reply to the hon. member, he should
simply state that that system which the Duke of Welling.
ton had succeeded iu bringing to perfection towards the
end of the war still continued to remaiu unchanged. It
was true that in England the commissariat had beau alto-
gether abolished, but the system of the Duke of Welling-
ton had been maintained throughoui our colonies exactly
upon the same footing as that upon which that illus-
trious personage had placed it. The only change, in
fact, that haul been made in connection with the sub-
ject had consisted in substituting for the head of the
commissariat department a responsible minister of the
Crown—a change which had been deemed necessary for the
welfare of the service and the interests of the country.
The person whom the Government had selected to conduct
the affairs of that department was Mr. Commissary-General
Fielder, who had served under the Duke of Wellington,
and in whom the greatest confidence had ever been placed
by his distinguished chief. So far, therefore, from the
system of the Duke of Wellington having been upset, that
system had been, as he had shown, maintained in full
vigour. " But," said the hon. member for Aylesbury, " you
sent out last autumn to Turkey a gentleman connected with
the commissariat for the purpose of proeuring information,
and all that he has done has been to write au essay
on the manners and customs of the inhabitants of that
country." Now, the observations of the honourable
gentleman tended to induce the house to believe that the
pamphlet which had been written by the gentletna's in
question treated of every subject rather than that with re-
spect to which it was desirable that information should be
procured. He (Mr. S. Herbert) should, however,
merely quote, in reply to thestatemeutof thehon. member
some of the marginal heads, indicating the subject matter
contained in the several paragraphs of the pamphlet.
They were as follows :—" Supply of food," Price of
sheep," " Where to be found," What are the best
' means of transport," " What weight you can put upon a
camel," " What weight upon an ass," &c. ler short, there
was contained in the work in question a variety of the
most minute details with respect to subjects; upon which
the heads of the commissariat might desire to obtain in-
formation ; and he believed that the pamphlet had been
submitted to the hon. member for Aylesbury himself, and
that he haul been kind enough to make some corrections in
it, with the view of making it useful to those engaged in
the public service. But the hon. member had further said,
'`You sent out only one man for the purpose of procuring
the necessary information." His (Mr. S. Herbert s) answer
to that statement was, that eight or nine persons had been
sent with that view, and that one gentleman had been
ordered to put himself in communication with Mr. Cal-
vert, the very individual who was best fitted to give such
information as might he required. The hon. member had
made those statements, relying upon the truth of letters
which he had received from persons who in maay instances
were not themselves upon the spot, but who merely re-
ported the rumours which reached them, and whose asser-
tions were believed to be correct, because they were made
by individuals residing in the country where the circum-
stances narrated in those letters were supposed to have
occurred. He should give an instance in corroboration of
the accuracy of his opinion upon that subject. It had been
stated by a gentleman connected with the Ordnance De-
partment, who haul taken occasion to cast blame upon the
conduct of that department, that we had sent out a large
number of 6-pounders. But, with the exception of the
Case of the Horse Artillery, would the house believe that
no such thing as a 6-pounder had been sent out at all ;
upon the contrary, 9-pounders only had been transmitted
to the seat of war. He maintained, therefore, that we
should be extremely careful before we agreed to accept
statements coming from abroad as positively correct.
The hon. member for Aylesbury had also referred to
the medical department ; but he (Mr. S. Herbert)
must say, that if that and the commissariat depart-
ment were so greatly neglected as they wore repre-
sented to be, he was at a loss to account for the extremely
good health which prevailed among the troops in the
East. Taking the whole of tee army into account,
there were in hospital bat four per cent. out of the
number, and out of that 4 per cent. nearly one-third were
under treatment for diseases which could not be said to
have been contracted in consequence of any deficiency in
the commissariat arrangement, but to which men were as
liable in the streets of London as iii the field. At the pre-
sent moment, in short, the health of our troops at Varna-
was quite as good as the health of the army in any part of
England. (Hear, hear.) There were, however, he might
observe, certain situations in which troops n.ight be placed,
in whichi no care or providence, no matter how great,
could keep them in good health. The hon. member for
Aylesbury had, among other alines, contrasted the arrange-
ments made for the comfort and efficiency of our troops
with those which haul been made upon the ,part of the
French Government with reference to their army. Now,
there could be no doubt that those two great armies, both
of them equipped iu the best possible wanner, must have
much to learn one from the other—(hear, hear)- —nor could
he state that no fault had been committed in fitting out
our troops. He was not such a pedant as to suppose that,
in a case in which the greatest expedition was necessary,
everything had been done in the most perfect manner.
(Hear, hear.) Sir W. Napier—a great authority upon
such matters—had observed that mistakes upon such occa-
sions were the rule, and not the exception. He might,
however, state with reference to the subject, that every
effort had been used to fit out oar troops in the best man-
mer possible, and that the arrangements connected with
our expedition to the East might be favourably contrasted
with those of any similar movement. He should, with the
permission of the house, real a letter from one of the very
ablest paymasters in the service, which was dated the 29th
of Juno, 1851. The writer, in alluding to the English and
French, expressed himself as follows :
" I am happy to say that a most excellent feeling exists.
Our army is well fed, and there is not the shadowof,a
complaint; the supplies sent out by the Government hae
been a great boon, and are highly appreciated; they are
all good of their kind, and, as Lord Raglan has most
judi-
ciously put the issue under regimental arrangements, the
most perfect confidence and satisfaction has been the result
es,
of the arrangements. Had it been through other channels,
the regimental authorities would not have been so
are,
rested in the goo working of the system, and the men.
moreover, more satisfied to be dealt with regimentally; the
complaint can be remedied, if there should be one, without
going further—indeed, all works well."
He should also r ad other lett Ts from persons, who, in
consequence of the positions which they i'c
army, had the best means of becoming
ouracqcunied in the
officersinted with
the events !which were taking place. One of
wrote to the following effect :
"No one can believe, who has not seen it, of what value

We can only answer him that he
should see the care and attention of our officers, and the ad-
vantage of our white cap c.overs over the senseless fez which
his people persist in wearing on their heads, with no pro-
tection for the eyes or back of the head, and he would
learn the true cause of the difference between us. General
Forey called here yesterday to see the barracks, the 95th

much admired. I asked to wheel them into line,

what our interior really is, and bow little we do for
show."
He should trouble the house with only one other letter,
which had been written by a man whose chat meter must
secure for his words a respectful consideration. In refer-
ring to the opinions which the French officers had formed
of our troops, the manner in which they were equipped,
encamped, and fed, the writer said—
" Seeing the abuse that is lavished upon every branch of

the British army, and that we are told all thy long that
the arrangements and equipments of the French army are
i a every w ,erior, I was surprised to hinl that we we!e)
viewed in a al'erent light by officers of experience in
another service, and that justice which is denied to us by
many of our own countrymen is really conceded to us by
foreie'ners."
He had gon ein to those details, being of opinion that he was
in no small degree responsible for the manner in which our
troops had been equipped, and he felt assured that the
house would extend.to:lim its pardon for having. entered
ateuch length iutsetepies which weee not. itutnqdiatalY con-
nected with the question under their notice. (Cheers.)
Passing from these details, he wished to know whether it
was true—as had been asserted by the hon. member for the
West Riding and by the noble lord who had just spoken—
that, although a powerful armament had been sent to the
East, yet that no great results had thereby been up to the
present moment achieved, and that our armies had won no
laurels? War hail been declared upon the 29th of March,
and the noble lord seemed to be astonished that Russia
bad not been " crumpled up" in the four months which had
since elapsed. That consummation hail not been attained ;
but was it right to say that nothing whatever had during
those four months been effected ? An hon. gentleman
stated last night that a great number of accidents had
taken place in connection with the expedition to the East,
and that we had succeeded in monopolising more than our
share of those accidents. Our troops have certainly been
subjected to casualties in the course of the operations
which in the north and south of Europe we have been em-
ralodyed beenin

brilliant the actions which in its progress might take piece
—no man's name would be more honouredby Englishmen
than that of the gallant officer, who, with none of the
glorious excitement of the battle-field to excite him to the
performance of heroic deeds, faced in cold blood death in
its most frightful shape in order to save the lives of those
whom he commanded, and who, notwithstanding the soli-
citations of his own soldiers, refused to leave the sinking
ship while one living soul remained on board her to receive
his generous aid. (Loud cheers.) It was also true that
grievous casualties had occurred in the Baltic—that a
boat's crew had been sacrificed in the endeavour to cut out
from beneath the enemy's batteries the enemy's ships.
however, such events as those were subjects for regret, we
should bear in mind the spirit and the gallantry which
they had evoked. (Cheers.) If it were true that the cou-
rage of our seamen amounted almost to foolhardiness, we
should not forget that the great renown of the British
navy had been acquired by a series of exploits such as
those to which he had just been adverting; and, instead
of giving way to useless regrets, we should rejoice that that
spirit, whose manifestation had raised this country to the
summit of fame as a naval power, still continued to exist,
brilliant and unchangeable. (Renewed cheering.) But in
answer to the statement that no practical result had as yet
been brought about by British arms in the present con-
test, he would ask, was it nothing to have established in
four months a complete, an effectual, and an irresistible
blockade of the enemy's ports? Those gentlemen who
spoke lightly upon that subject seemed to forget that one-
half the lifetime of the gallant Nelson had been passed
in maintaining a blockade. (Hear, hear.) If the
country expected that we ought to hear at once of vic-
tory following victory over an enemy who dared not
meet our fle.te, why, then, the country expected the
performance of impossibilities from those gallant sea-
l' men who had already demonstrated that want of
courage or want of enterprise formed no part of the
reason why these results had, up to the present moment,
not been attained. (Cheers.). But has nothing else except
the institution of a blockade been effected in the Black
Sea? How many pounds sterling, he would ask, had been
spent by Russia during the last quarter of a century in
erecting along the shores of Circassia those forts which
constituted the chains by which she had kept the Cir-
cassians in thraldom ? All these forts had fallen into our
hands.
Mr. LAYARD—They were abandoned by Russia.
Mr. S. HERBERT continued—The hon. member did
not seem satisfied with the fact that we had it all our own
way. (A. laugh.) It was said that the people of England
liked to hear of a good battle, and of the sacrifice to a vast
extent of human life. That, however, was not, he be-
lieved, the general feeling of the English people, and he
felt assured that they rejoiced to find that these fortresses
on the coast of Circassia had fallen into our hands without
the loss of a single man, with an account of whose fall the
pages of the Gazette might be adorned. But had nothing
more been effected? The noble lord the member for
Marylebone had stated that the Turks had manifested the
greatest courage and fortitude and skill in the present
contest, bat it was a matter of astonishment to all Europe
that armies so small as theirs had not only maintained their
position, but achieved great successes against overwhelming
numbers. Such was the fact; but had th it result been
attained solely and entirely by the forces of Turkey ? Had
the Russian armies no enemies but the soldiers of the
Sultan to encounter? Was it nothing to have wrested from
the Russians those means of communication by which they
were enabled to supply the troops with provisions? Hail
the closing up of the Black Sea no share in producing results
so favourable to Turkey ? He was not aware whether the
noble lord had studied the history of the present campaign,
or whether he had observed the manner in which its
operations had been carried out? At the present moment
the Danube, Sebastopol, and, in fact, the whole coast of
Russia on the Black Sea was blockaded. No provisions,
no ammunition could be conveyed to her armies save by
land across the full extent of Bessarabia ; and he had been
informed that when provisions were being transported by
land for the Russian troops, the air became tainted by the
putridity, in consequenc,i, no doubt, of the length of
time occupied in transmitting. them to their destination.
The Russian Government had been compelled to resort, in
order to provision their army, to the use of small carts
drawn by bullocks, in a country where the roads were
extremely bad, and where the distance to be traversed was
ao great that by the time the carts arrived at the camp the
bullocks themselves had consumed nearly all the grain, and
were reduced to a condition so lean as to render them unfit
for human food. Now these, he would venture to say,
were no trifling results, although they might partake of
none of that brilliancy by which some hon. members
wished all our movements to be characterised. (Hear.)
But he should likewise say that Englishmen might cl rim
some share in the defence of Silistria through that young
man (hear, hear)—Captain Butler, or Major Butler, as he
should like to call him, although he had neverheard of his
promotion, or of his having been placed by her Majesty in
the Guards. (Hear, hear.) He said that young Irishman
—(hear,hear)—displayed during that siege qualities which
marked him out for certain eminence—not merely dogged
courage, but likewise a remarkable power of command.
He, a stranger, accompanied by another young officer,
having gone to a strange town, although not speaking the
Turkish language, had by his energy and determination so
imposed on the men by whom he had been surrounded,
that, in point of fact, he had almost had the command of
that garrison. It was by the pertinacity and energy with
which be had pressed his councils on them, that the sur-
render of the external forts, which formed the keys of
Silistria, had been prevented, and that that glorious suc-
cess had been accomplished. (Cheers.) The noble lord
said that he had no confidence in the Government. We
(continued Mr. Herbert) meet him fairly upon that issue.
(Hear We are called a ministry on sufferance • and it is
true that, feeling the deep responsibility which lay on us,
and the necessity after having entered on this war of put-
ting the country in a position, financially and strategeti-
calry, which should enable it to urge the war with success,
we felt, unsupported as we were by the Louse on domestic
measures, that it was our duty to continue to hold the
reins of office. We have been met by contumely and in-
sult, but it is for the House of Commons to decide this
question. If the house does not choose to have a govern-
ment on suffsrance, and if we do not choose to be &govern-
ment on sufferance, let the house manfully and explicitly
declare its opinions upon that head. We are prepared to
abide, as we do abide with confidence, on the decision to
which they might come. (The right hon. gentleman re-
sumed his seat amidst considerable cheering.)
Mr. LAYA.RD insisted that the construction put by the
house upon the words of Lord John Russell, on the pre-
vious evening, with respect to the menacing position of
Sebastopol, was the correct one. The general inspresion
was that nothing short of the destruction of that fortress
would be satisfactory to the Government; but when the
noble lord came to explain his meaning it appeared that
all that was meant was that Russia was not to be allowed
to have so large a fleet at Sebastopol. The object of Aus
trig was clearly to drive Russia from the principalities, and
nothing more, and it was much to be feared that in that
policy England would become entangled. It was a great
error to count upon the alliance of Austria at all; but
looking at home he had great confidence in Lord John
Russell, but none whatever in the Earl of Aberdeen.
Mr. WILKINSON contended for the identity of the
two statements of Lord John Russell.
Colonel DUNNE deprecated the delays which had taken
place in the advance of the allied armies.
Admiral BERKELEY repelled the charge of unneces-
sary delay, and denied that the Government had at all tied
up the hands of Admiral Napier in the Baltic. The fact
that nothing great had been as yet attempted was to be
attributed to the formidable nature of the fortifications.
Mr. F. SCULLY defended the Earl of Aberdeen and
the Government.

people ready half his work was done.
Four months had elapsed, and nothing had occurred to
shake the confidence of the country • in the Government, or
in the conduct of the war. To tie the hands of the Go-
vernment, however, was a want of confidence, which they
could not tolerate for a single moment. The course pur-
sued in that house was mischievous to the country, as
well as unjust to the Government ; for it compelled them
to disclosures which, perhaps, ought not to be made, in
their own justification. He believed that it was nothing
but a high sense of moral duty which had kept the Govern-
ment in their position, under the continued impatience of
certain supporters of theirs, whom it was his (Mr. l'oetc) the
only sorrow to find still sitting on the seine side off

with the real feelings of the country, which, in his (Mr.
, Peto's) opinion were decidedly in favour of leaving the
conduct of the war in the hands of the Government, with
the firm conviction that they would do what was right
under the cireurnstances. (Hear, hear.) Let the noble
lord at once avow that he was -no longer a supporter of

" Lord J. BUSSELL—There are but few things which I

that our objects were the destruction

the hon. gentleman drew from whatit was a

which I
perfectly gratuitous inference, and the statement
have,
made did not bear out that construction. But we in
fact, every kind of opponent to deal with; some who tell
us that it is wrong to go to war for the dismembermentof
Russia, and others who tell us that we are not seriously at
war, and that we are unwilling to do any great injury to
Russia. In this state of affairs, with expressions rife of
various kinds, I certainly thought it was due to the House
of Commons, now almost upon the eve of prorogation, that
I should enter more than is usually done into the question
of the objects of the war. and into the present state of our
foreign relations. I slid so as fully as it was possible for
use to do so—(hear, hear)—and lam willing to bear the
consequences, if I made that statement with too little re-
serve to the country. I believe that in carrying on a war
in which the feelings of this country are engaged, it is not
imprudent to state to the country at large what are the
general objects that we have in view, and what is the na-
me
mber onal purpose that W 3 hope to attain. My hon. friend the
for Aylesbury says he wishes there was some
statesman who could take a statesman-like view of the ob-
jects of the war, and that would take that view which a
statesman alone can take of the importance of the object
and the magnitude of the contest. Well, if we who belong
to the Ministry are entirely benighted in this respect ; if,
iu all the debates which have occurred, we have never pro-
perly expressed why we went to war, and what should
be our objects in going to war, I was in hopes that the hon.
gentleman, who is so touch more enlightened, and who has
calculated the interests of all the powers in Europe, would
have told us what these objects should be, and in what way
we were to carry on , his contest. But he has not, lam sorry
to say, so enlightened us upon the subject. It appears to
rue, indeed, that the case might be generally stated in very
simple language, and without any very great profundity of
view. (Hear.) The Sultan of Turkey is attacked by the
Emperor of Russia. Is be unjustly attacked? Yes : he
is unjustly attacked Have we any interest in defending
him ? Yes, we have an interest in defending him. (Hear
hoar.) And there, as it appears to use, is the very simple,
plain case upon which the minds of the people of this
country are satisfied, without those profound calculations
and those mysterious views which my hon. friend has in
his own breast, but which he so carefully conceals from us
who are his inferiors, no doubt, in experience and under-
standing. (Ministerial cheers, and laughter.) Then, with
regard to the conduct of the war, in stating the reasons for
taking this vote, I refrained purposly from entering into
any defence against those generally anonymous accusations
which have been made ag dust that department of the Go-
vernment which sent out our fleet and army, and those who
are in command of that fleet. No such accusations had
been made in this house, and I thought it not unbecstning
my position
to wait and see if any such would be made. I
am sorry to say that some of those unfounded accusations
have been repeated here. But my right hon. frieud the
Secretary at War (Mr. S. Herbert) has furnished so ample
an explanation upon that subject that it is quite unneces-
sary for me to add one word respecting it. We all knew
—at least we ought to have known—that one hon. gentle.
man, the lion member for Surrey, hinted out to us, if we
had not found it out fur ourselves, that this is a war not
similar to many wars in which we have been engaged.
Had Sir Charles Napier, for instance, instead of having to
encounter dangerous shoals, granite built forts, narrow
channels, and continual fogs, gone to distant seas, I have
no doubt that before this time, a whole archipelago of
islands would have yielded to his flag. But we have in
this case a sort of rhinocerous to attack, and it is not a.
very easy thing to penetrate the hid/ of such an animal. (Hear.) With regard to the Black Sea, it is an inconsider-
able advantage that those forts which Russia has for many
years been constructing, 4 ith the view of maintaining and
extending her power in the countries bordering upon that, sea, have been yielded without a blow being struck by
the Emperor, who, whatever others may have felt has
himself confes ed that the inferiority of his forces in the
Black Sea was a reason why there should be an armistice
on its shores. There is one other topic which has been
dwelt upon both last night and to night, respecting which
I think it is absolutely necessary I should address a few
words to the house. Some hon. members have singled out
the noble earl at thehead of the Administration, and have
made him the peculiar object of their attacks. Now, what-
ever may be the constitutional nature of this motion—and
I do not deny that, as a motion of want of confidence, it is
constitutional—yet there is nothing constitutional in the
attempt to separate the Cabinet from the noble earl who
is at its head, and to snake him alone responsible for that
in respect to which all his colleagues must share his re-
sponsibility. With regard to the general measures of the
Government, those measures have been considered step by
step by those advisers of her Majesty who are usually called
the Cabinet, and when decisions have been adopted all the
colleagues of Lord Aberdeen are alike responsible
to this
house and to the country with that noble lord. (Hear.)
With regard again to particular departments—with regard
to the Miuister of War, and with regard to the First
Lord
of the Admiralty—who are deeply charged with the con-
duct of this war—l am sure lam satisfied in saying that
there is no measure which they have opposed, in order to
impart greater vigour to the operations of war, and thus
ensure the success of that war, which my noble friend at
the head of the Government hasi not zealously encouraged
and supported in the Cabinet. (Cheers.) That my noble
friend for a long time believed in the possibility of main-
taining peace, and wished to avert the calamity of war, is,
I think, a reproach which he can very well bear; but with
regard to any delay that took place, or that has been charged
to have taken place, in commencing that war, those who
acted with Lord Aberdeen as his colleagues are alike
chargeable with him for such delay. Let me remark,
however, that that which was for some time the great sub-
ject of attack—namely, that when the Pruth was passed
by the Rthsians we did not at once advise her Majesty to
declare war, or to take such steps as would show that we
were determined to encounter the risk of hostilities—that
that event occurred when Parliament was sitting, and could
have interfered to give its advice to the Crown, and that
the more vigorous measures of sending the fleet
first to the
Bosphorus, and aftewards into the Black Sea were taken
when Parliament was not sitting, and during the recess.
(Ministerial cheering.) I do not, however, wish to ad-
dress myself to the particular words of the motion ; I wish
merely to state that the Government do consider them-
selves responsible for the conduct of this war, with regard
to all its operations ; and that they consider themselves
responsible for accepting or refusing any terms of pesoe
that may be offered them. (Hear, hear.) I have already
stated enough, I think, to show that we should look for

guarantees and for security in the event of any such terms
being proposed. But reverting to that which has been
stated in order to make comparisons between different
members of the Government, we were told last night that
there was a great difference between the language which I
held in this house and that which was held in another

think therefore, that it is either conscitut.onal or generous

bers of the Government, and to hold up certain members
of the administration to a kind of suspicion with regard
to their public conduct, while others are not to be rendered
liable to the same odium or to the same suspicion. (Ironi-
cal cheers.) If, then, the house is not satisfied with the
administration, let it vote the terms of this address, which
would serve the purpose as well as any other, though they
are not very appropriate to the occasion, because it so hap-
pens that they have generally been moved in cases where
the minister has thought it his duty to refrain
from
information as to the state of our foreign relationgis "anni
as to the general prospects of a war. Everything that can
he stated has been
stated on this occasion in order to give
information to Parliament ; and, therefore, the noble

great histo-
rian says is one of the most common, but ono of the
most grievous of errors—namely, taking a precedent
which. was ht for another occasion, and applying it to an
occaFsion for which it is not fit. (Hear.) However, as I
have already stated, for I do not wish to prolong this ad-
dress, the house has now to say whether it will confide to
us the disposition of these 3,000,0001.; whether it will con-
fide to us the discretion of advising her Majesty to call
Parliament together in case it should be necessary, or to
refrain from calling Parliament together if in their judE
inent the public welfare does not require it. If we are fit
to be Ministers of the Crown, we are fit to have that di
