DESTITUTE FOREIGNERS.
The Duke of BEAUFORT had received information
that destitute foreigners had arrived in this country in
considerable numbers from Italy, Germany, and the
other states in which changes had been lately made; and
he wished to know whether any changes had been made
in the alien-law

Lord LANSDOW/CE said that in answer to the ques-
tion of the Noble Lord, it would he his duty to place on

the table of the House that night, if their Lordships
would allow him to do so, a Bill for the purpose of meet-
ing and obviating the objections of the Noble Lord.
Her Majesty's Government were aware many foreigners
were in the habit of asking to partake the security of
this country for the ostensible purpose of having the
guarantee of the security of this country, not in reality
that they might be empowered to aid in the disaffections
that unfortunately prevailed in one portion of this
country. He was aware that not less than 40,000 or
50,000 persons were prepared to aid these disaffections,
and he would therefore ask their Lordships to allow the
Bill to be introduced for the first time this evening, and
to be taken on its further progress on Thursday next.
Lord MALMESBURY quoted from the speech of
Mr. Julian Harney, to show that there were one
hundred thousand who were ready to march with the
Chartists; but he (Lord Malmesbury) believed that there
were very many foreigners who were anxious for the
protection of foreigners, and he would quote two, namely,
Prince Louis Napoleon and M. Quining, who were
desirous of preserving the peace of this country.
Lord BROUGHAM, in moving for correspond-
ence between the British Minister at Turin and
the Government of Sardinia said that he hoped
that the present unsettled state of Europe would
never recur again in his experience. The peace
of the continent and of Europe was exposed to perils
which had not disturhed their peace during more than a
quarter of a century, and from no where did he expect
greater perils than that Court to which he referred
in the notice now before the House. The treaty of
Vienna had granted Genoa to the Kingdom of Sardinia
—she, one of the great republics of the world, had been
stripped of her power and annexed as a subsidiary state
to the kingdom which owned the sway of Charles
Albert. The Noble Lord deprecated the course pur-
sued by the King of Sardinia in holding out a
promise of assistance to the Milanese, a promise
fully borne out—one of the few promises ever
fulfilled by that admirable Monarch.—(Laughter.)
He questioned if a parallel could be found in history of
such baith being exhibited as had been exhibited by the
King of Sardinia. He never heard a more monstrous
doctrine than that. which had been proclaimed by
the King

which expressed discontent. Venice has declared her
independence, but it does not necessarily follow—he
could—he would predict that it would' never recover
its liberty ; for liberty was one of those delicate
plants that had never yet flourished in a republic.
The Noble Lord then reviewed the past transactions of
Italy, and instanced the actions of Charles Albert's life in
1820, 21, and 23, as affording no ground for hope to the
Milanese, that in 1848 he would be more resolved than he
was in these years. He believed that if that monarch
believed that he could get the Genoese to preserve their
integrity when he himself was trying to subvert authority
in Milan and Northern Italy, then he (Lord Brougham)
thought he was much mistaken and he would venture to
prophecy without much risk of being held an untrue
seer that the Genoese within nine months, would de-
mand a separation from the thraldom of Sardinia.
