Sir C. FORBES supported the motion.

Lord ALTHORP—Sir, it is impossible for me to deny
that the paragraph brought under the notice of the
House is a breach of the privileges of this House.—

(Cheers•)—But-I
think it is'different question, in what
manner we ought to treat this puhlieation. Upon a
qnestion which interests the people of the country in the
way and to the extent that this Reform question interest■
them ; it is true that violent language—that unjustiflub's
language—is used by advocates and writers on both sides tl e
question--(Cheers from all aides.)—but when the Hon.
Haronet says no attacks have been made, except upon those
against the measure, I must deny the truth of that remark
Do not we who advocate the measure see ourselves drily
called revolutionists?—(Cheers.)—Do we not see ourselves
attacked for endeavouring to produce revolution.—(Cheers. )
Upon a question of this kind I must admit that the pubic
press has used language that cannot be justified, but I ap-
peal to the prudence of the House, whether this is a case in
which.the privileges of the House, should he vindicated with
any degree of severity when the public feeling so
strongly excited. I have experience enough to know that
when questions a breach of privilege are brought forward,
it is difficult to induce th.. House to look alit in a temp( rate

manner. But if we are carried away by our feelings row.
[ ask the House, whether such proceeding will be likely
to reflect credit or difficulty in point of form, but if
not inconsistent with the form of the House, I beg to move
the previous question, instead of coining to a decision on
the motion.

On the amendment being put,
Mr. CAMPBELL rose to support and was left speak-
'jag.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the ,Tournal des Debats, March 18.)
Let us observe, en passant, that the same men, who, -
some time ago, accused the Government of Louis Philip
of labouring for the interests of the dynasty, advise him •
now to snake war to establish his dynasty. That is not
the only inconsistency of the faction. That party accuses
ass of wishing for peace at any price. Is it not rather,
that they wish for war at any price ; that they, to prove
war inevitable, interpret as they please the intentions of •
the Cabinets of Europe; cut short the question which is
debated in all the Cabinets ; falsify history, to draw Irons
it deceitful inferences or offensive allusions ; boldly affirm
that the majority of France desires war; snake attacks
upon the new Ministry, because it has undertaker) the
noble task to cause arms to be laid down throughout
Europe, and cry out that the plan is impossible, that it is
treason, or that it leads to treason, as if they feared that
its success would destroy their last chances? How, will
they not permit the French Government, supported as it
is by an army of 500,000 men, and upon three mil-
' lions of National Guards, to attempt a high and
pacific mediation, which will restore thousands of hands
to agriculture, thousands of sons to their families, im-
mense capital to industry, without spilling. one drop
of blood, and without compromising our honour ! How,
do they not wish that Louis Philip should preside
over the disarming of Europe, lie himself remaining the
last under arms, as becomes him, who has been menaced !
Is there a party in France, which fears not to say, that
they who desire such a peace, desire peace at any price,
and are the partisans of the foreigner? And that faction
finds nothing to which it can compare to this system, but
the Bth of August ; and it casts the imputation of un-
equivocal treason, or of something which resembles it, on
the virtuous, the talented man, who has devoted himself to
this immense task, and who, after fifteen years of anxiety,
and of battles for the liberties of France, is accused of not
being as well informed in what respects the national ho-
nour as they who take him to task about it. But he will
not succeed in his attempt ! Perhaps so. But be
will compromise our honour. That is false. He
wishes peace, but not at any price—not at the price
of a Prussian intervention in Belgium, nor of an
Austrian intervention in Piedmont, nor of any inter-
vention by which the honour or the interests of France
might be wounded. It is a peace of frankness, of glory,
of mediation, which he is about to demand, in language
elevated and conciliating—in the name of the general inte-
rest—in the name of humanity, which has some right,
we think, to enter into the policy of a nation which
has effected a revolution, without shedding one drop of.
blood after the struggle. Let the Ministry, then, apply
itself to the task—let it negotiate with confidence, with
promptitude, and in open day. Our duty to ourselves,
the duty of all the partisans of an honourable and solid
peace, will be to support the Ministry, to watch over
them, to take care lest their earnestness for peace should
render them inconsciously negligent of the question of
honour, and to enlighten theta as to the true sentiments of
France, which expects from them liberty and order within,
and abroad that place which she has been accustomed to
hold, and which she has maintained in the opinion of the
nations, even when her Government has caused her to lose
it in the Cabinet.
