gentleman then alluded to the paragraph of the Address
alluding to the army. Nothing could exceed the gal-
lantry of the army of the Crimea. The deeds of that
army could not be exceeded by any on the
brightest page of history. The paragraph brought
him to the loss sustained by this house—he meant
Colonel Blair. (Hear.) All felt the loss. (Hear.) There
was another member, the hon. member for Westminster—
(loud cheers)—whom, we hope, soon to see in this house.
Nothing could exceed the bravery of that hon. gentleman
when he left a bed of sickness to take part in the battle of
Inkerman. (Loud cheers.) The hon. gentleman then pro-
ceeded to pass a high eulogium on the French army.
The efforts of the generals would bear comparison
with the most brilliant deeds over performed. The
next paragraph related to Austria—very little of the
policy of Austria was known. The people of this country
had viewed with much suspicion the conduct of Austria.
He trusted that the hon. member for the City of London
would explain to the house the ambiguities that appeared
to exist, as soon as his duty would permit him.
This is not the tire for party struggle—(cheers)
—and if there were differences, let only appear
that these differences exist as to the best manner in which
we can best aid our Sovereign. An impression exists that
her Majesty's advisers have not exercised that prudence
and foresight they should have done. Now that we are
involved iu war, I fear we shall have to accuse them with
rashness and incompetency. Now, with respect to that
magnificent fleet, I think we are entitled to some expla-
nation. The expedition to the Baltic reminded him of
the well-known legend of
" The King of France, with twenty-thousand men,
Marched his army up the hill and down again."
He did not know what our fleet went to the Baltic for, when
it was well known that the Russian ships would not corne out.
Why had Odessa been spared ? (Hear, hear.) Some ex-
planation must be given as to their omission, because the
possession of Odessa had been of great service to Russia,
and the feeling in the public mind was this, the Government
were to blame for having allowed that town to be spared.
(Hear, hear.) He now approached the policy of
the Government. He wanted to know what it was.
Not long ago the Prime Minister announced it to
be a policy of peace, and ho was afraid much
of our .recent misfortune -was attributable to that
policy. The Crimea ought never to have been attacked
unless the Government were satisfied that they had suffi-
cient force to make it with success. (Hear.)
