THE IRISH DEPUTATION•
M. DE LAMARTINE'S REPLY.
M. de Lamartine replied to the address of the
deputation of Irish gentlemen from Dublin, Man-
chester, Liverpool, and Belfast, in the following
speech :

" Citizens cf Ireland,
" If we required a fresh proof of the pacific influence
of the proclamation of the great democratic principle,
this new Christianity, bursting forth at the opportune
moment, and dividing the world, as formerly, into a
Pagan and a Christian community—we should assuredly
discern this proof of the omnipotent action of an idea,
in the visits spontaneously paid in this city to R-pub-
been France and the principles which animate her by
the nations, or by fractions of the nations, of Europe.
" We are not astonished to see to-day a deputation
from Ireland. Ireland knows how deeply her destinies,
her sufferings, and her successive advances in the path
of religious liberty, of unity, and of constitutional
equality with the other parts of the United Kingdom,
have at all times moved the heart of Europ. !
" We said as much, a few days ago, to another depu-
tation of your fellow-citizens. We said as much to all
the childri n of that glorious isle of Erin which the
natural genius of its inhabitants and the striking events
of its histt ry render equally symbolical of the poetry
and the heroism of the nations of the north.
" Rest assured, therefore, that you will find in France,
under the It-public, a response to all the sentiments
which you express towards it.
" Tell your fellow•citizens that the name of Ireland is
synonymous with the name of liberty courageously de-
fended against privilege—that it is one common name to
every French citizen! Tell them that this reciprocity
which they invoke—that this hospitality of which t hey are
not oblivious—the Republic will be proud to rememier
and to pm actise invariably towards the Irish. Tell thrum,
above all, that the French Republic is not, and never
will be, an arise cratie Republic, in which liberty is
merely abused as the mask of privilege; but a Republic
embracing the entire community, and securing to all
the same rights and the same benefits. As regards
other eneoersgements, it would neither be expedient
for us to held them nut, nor for you to receive them.
I have already expressed the same opinion with re
ference to Germany, Belgium, and Italy ; and 1
repeat it with reference to every nation which is in-
volved in internal disputes which is either divided
against iteelf or at variance with its Government.
When there is a difference of race—when nations are
aliens in blood—intervention is not allowable. We
belong to no party in Ireland or elsewhere, except
to that which contends for justice, for liberty, and fur
the happiness of the Irish people. No other part would
be acceptabe to us, in a time eit peace, in the interests
end the passions of foreign nations. France is desirous
of reserving herself free tor the maintenance of the rights
of all.
" Wu are at pence, and we are desirous of rem ;snit
on good terms of equality, not with this or that part
Great Britain, but with Great Britain entire. We rt '
(e't
lieve this peace to be useful and honourable, not only
to
Great Britain and the French Republic, but
to the human race. We will not commit an
act —we will not utter a word —we will not
breathe an insinuation at varience with the princi-
ples of the reciprocal inviolability of nations,
which we have proclaimed, and of which the continent
of Europe is already gathering the fruits. The fallen mo
narchy had treaties and diplomatists. Our diplomatists are
nations, our treatiee are sympathies! We should be insane
wereweopenlytoexchange such a diplosnacyfor unmeaning
and partial alliances with even the most legitimate parties
in the countries which surround us. We are not competent
either to judge them or to prefer some of them to others;
by announcing our partizanship of the one side we should
declare ourselves the enemies of the other. We do not
wish to be the enemies of any of your fellow-countrymen.
We wish, on the contrary, by a faithful observance of
the Republican pledges to remove all the prejulices
which may mutually exist between our neighbours and
ourselves.
" This course, however painful it may be, is imposed
on us by the law of nations as well as by our historical
remembrances.
"Do you know what it was which moat served to
irritate France and estrange her from England during
the first Republic ? It wee the civil war, in a por-
tion of our territory supported, subsidised, and as!,isted
by Mr. Pitt. It was the encouragement and the
