known throughout Paris, and therefore the course
taken by the noble lord in refusing the information
to the British Parliament I asked for is perfectly unte-
nable. But 1 eyelid We, I find in the Monitcur of yes-
terday a special announcement by the French Govern-
ment that an invitation has been made to Prussia to
to attend the conferences ; that Prussia has accepted it,
and that she has nominated the Baron Manteuffel and
the Prussian Minister now at Paris, M. Hatzftldt, her
plenipotentiaries. How is it that the French people
are to be informed by their Government, notwithstand-
ing this preliminary resolution of the conference; as to
what takes place, and that the Parliament of England
is the-only place where no information is to be obtained,
and that the noble lord on an occasion of such grave in-
terest avoids his responsibility, by resorting to a plea
which upon mature reflection he must, I am sure, feel
is one he ought never to have advanced ? I am at a
loss to under stand what can be the reason that induced
the noble lord to refuse the information, which I hope
on further consideration be will feel it is not only in his
power but his duty to impart to us. (Hear.) I should
be sorry to suppose that the noble lord finds in the cir-
cumstauces that Prussia is now participating in the con-
ferences any cause for regret. (Hear.) I should be
loth to believe that--for two reasons—first, if he should
feel cause for regret in that circumstance, it would seem
that the councils of this country iu the conferences are
not so influential as every member of this house must
wish them to be ; but if it be a subject of regret to the
noble lord that. Prussia has been admitted to it, I should
lament it still more, because I myself cannot but feel
that the circumstance is not one for regret, but upon
which we may fairly congratulate the country and the
world. I look upon the accession of Prussia am en
event auspicious of the satisfactory settlement of the
questions that the 'conferences at Paris are deliberating
upen—(cheers)—as an event auspicious of peace—
(cheers) —and one upon which the country ought to be
congratulated, because, whatever the wild opinions
sometimes expressed--expressed often without thought,
and sometimes without temper—l cannot but feel that
the settlement of the question at issue is more likely to
ho satisfactory and permanent if, as is now contemplated,
all the great powers of Europe take part in and sanction
it—than if one great power, so peculiarly situated as
Prussia, should remain aloof and isolated. Independent
of the general principle, that no settlement at Paris is
likely to be permanent if one of the great powers of
Europe is not a participator, there are peculiar reasons
why the sanction of Prussia should be given to that set-
tlement which I (in common, I am sure, with every hon.
member who hears me) hope is impending. The pre-
sence of Prussia at the conference is the only means,
as it appears to me, by which the opinions and senti-
ments of Germany can be represented and expressed upon
this memorable occasion, (Cheers.) It is very true there
is another German power which has, from the first, par-
ticipated in the conferences-- a power of which I desire
to speak with all due respect ; but I remember well the
raying of a great state-man--one whose opinion upon
the subject .I may quote with great propriety, for they
are not likely to be prejudiced upon such a point—l re-
fer to M. Metternich, the Austrian Minister. Prince
Metternich said that Austria was the true typo of an
empire, and that therefore all her interests must be im-
perial. (Hear.) Austria has many kingdoms and many
races dependent upon her, and demanding her solicitude,
but Plume is homogeneous—she is German—one might,
indeed, almost say that Prussia is Germany. (Cheers.)
Therefore, and for that reason alone, irrespective et
other considerations, I consider that we, wh are all
deeply interested in the welfare of Europe, must be de-
sirous that that power should take part in the confer-
ences, and feel that an eauthoritative announcement of
such a circumstance would be matter of congratulation
to the country. (Hear.) But if it be necessary for Euro-
pean interests that Prussia should be present at these
o.e ferencee, and if, on general grounds, it be adverse to
those interests that a great state should remain isolated
on this occasion, and if it be, for the sake of representing
German opinions and sentiments, important that Prussia
should be present at the contereuceS, it is equally desir-
able for English interests. Whatever we may have heard
ofthe past conduct of Prussia, which allow me to remind
the house has never been the subject of debate or discus-
sion in the British House of Commons, it will be well to
remember that if there be such a thing as a natural ally
we may fairly describe Prussia as the natural ally of
England. (Hear.) From the period when he first en-
tcr,d into the highest class of sovereignties, with one hrief
exception, and then she was acting under compulsion,
she has been our ally, and from historical associations—
geographical situation—her produce—the race of her
inhabitalts—and I might almost say of her religion also
Prussia is a power which I am sure will always be
regarded with sympathy by the people of England, and
ever with profound interest by Engli.h statesmen.
(Cheers.) I know that some persons are apt to believe
Vat because it was sail to have been proposed by Russia
that Prussia should be admitted to the conferences in the
first iastauce, that was a sufficient reason why the great
powers should have refused to admit her. (Hear, irons
Mr. Layard.) Not withstanding the assenting cheer from
an hon. gentleman who has given much attention to fo-
reign affairs, I believe that nothing can be inore errone-
ous or fallacious than that opinik n. I know of nothing
snore likely to make Prussia our adversary hereafter
than that the settlement which I hope is now about to
take place at Paris should be of a partial and not of a
universal character. It id of the greatest importance
that Russia should not be enabled to fail back upon the
authority (3* a great Power like Prussia, as not connected
with the Rettleinont. As a mere question of diplomacy,
nothing could be me re useful to Russia than that Prussia
should demand to take part in the conferences, for if she
succeeded she would have paid a compliment to Russia,
and if she was excluded, she would have term:sired her
with ground hereafter for questioning a settlement of a
question affecting the interests of all Europe from which
one of the great Powers of Europe had been excluded.
I cannot believe that a British Minister will object to the
admission of Prussia, and I have no doubt the noble lord
has by this time decided upon a conviction of what is the
real interest of Europe and of this country. I cannot be-
lieve that on such an occasion the passions or private feel-
ings of a Cabinet or of any individual Minister will influence
the course of pribl e events. Passion has already worked
injury to this country, and I hope we have outlived the
time when such conduct will be repeated. (Hear.) It is
for this reason that I should, instead of viewing the acces-
sion of Prussia to the Conferences as adverse. to the in-
terests of Europe or of England, regard it as beneficial
to the object for which we are all of us anxious. I have
taken this opportunity of recurring to the subject in con-
sequence of the unsatisfactory reply the house received
from the noble lord last night. I believe that what I
yesterday intimated had occurred is iu every sense cor-
rect, and it would, I am persuaded, afford the utmost
satisfaction that we should have it authoritatevely an-
nounced by the Minister. I trust, therefore, that the
noble lord will, upon reflection, feel that the Parliament
of England should not be less informed by her Majesty's
Ministers of what is going on in reference to these con-
ferences than the popelation of Paris is by the French
Government in the Moniteur. (Hear, hear.)
Viscount PALMERSTON--I can assure the hon.
gentleman that I in no degree complain, or have any
right to complain, of any want of courtesy on his part,
in not giving previous notice of the question he put
to me yesterday, for it was undoubtedly a question
which, if fit to be put at all, required no notice. On the
ether hand,. however, I hope he will acquit me of any
intentional want of courtesy as to the answer I gave.
(Hear.) It was perfectly true that when the Conference
first met, the first resolution they came to was that their
proceedings should be kept secret; and that they en-
tered into an engagement for themselves and for their.
respective Governments that secrecy should be kept.
(Hear.) Not that there were any mysterious proceed-
ings that were to be in any way at variance with the in-
terests the plonipotentaries represented, or with the
honourable discharge of their duties, but if it were only
in reference to this House of Parliament that decision
was a wise one in regard to the furtherance of the ob-
jects for which they were accredited. For if it were to
have been preper that every day.of the week hon. gentle.
men were to get up and found questions upon telegraphic
messages and articles in foreign newspapers, calling upon
the Government to explain what had- passed in the
Conference on the day before in respect to questions
unsettled and discussions still continuing, I appeal to
the go id sense and judgment of the house, when I ray
that under such circumstances, a successful issue of the
negotiation would have been difficult, if not improbable.
(Cheers.) Therefore, I think, the decision was a wise
one, befitting the charaotea of those who made it, and
one that was calculated to promote the object for which
the Csaference hal assembled. Acting upon this view,
I gave the answer I did to the right hon. gentlemen's
queinien yesterday. The right hon. gentlemen, herr-
ever, to-day puts his question in a way that makes it
necessary for me to give some explanatioe. (ilean)
It is undoubtedly true, as he says, that Prussia is one
of those powers of Europe which have hitherto been
considered as what are technically called the five great
powers, and which have been accustomed of lite years
to enter into arrangements and treaties together on
matters connected with Europe en ',interests. In the
year 1841, when the treaties wire male in reference to
the affairs of the East, those treaties were concleded by
Austria, Franco, Great Britain, Prussia, and Russia, in
concert with the Porte, and if on a recent occasion no-
thing had been required except a simple conference of
the great powers of Europe to settle general questions
affecting European interests, no doubt Prussia would
would have been invited like the other powers to be-
come a party to such proceedings. (leer.) But the
conference was appointed for the purpose of negotiating
and concluding peace between powers that were at war,
and the nature! parties to suoh a conference were
England, France, Turkey, and Sardinia on the one side,
and Russia on the other. Austria, though not one of
the belligerents, had nevertheless entered into engage-
ments with Turkey to maintain her Principalities, and
had likewise acted the part of mediator between the
belligerents on the occasion which had directly led to
these negotiations. Austria, therefore, could not be
excluded from being a member of the eonf ranee—but
Prussia stood in no character that made her in any way
whatever a party to these negotiation's. (Hear, hear.)
I will not follow the right hon. gentleman into the dis-
cussion of the question which of the German powers is
the most homogeneoue, or which of them most accurately
and fully represents the public opinion of the German
States. Prussia is a great power undoubtedly; she is a
power with whom it is always our interest to maintain
the most intimate relations of friendship, and I trust
those relations will always be maintained. and became

S UPPLY.
The house then resolved itself into a committee of
supply.
A vote of 238,404/. for the purpose of defraying the
expenses connected with scientific education in the army
having been proposed,
Lord PALMERSTON took occasion to state, in reply
to Mr. Walpole, that unless some latitude were allowed,
whereby the surplus of the vote under one head might
be applied to the deficiency which existed under another,
great inconvenience would result to the public service.
Now, the Appropriation Act, although it sanctioned the
application of the surplus of one of the votes of the army
to the deficiency of another, yet it did not authorise the
application of a surplus of a vote for the army to supply
the deficiencies of the votes for the ordnance and com-
missariat, and vice verses. How far that ought to be done
was no doubt a subject worthy of consideration, but he
should remind the right hon. gentleman that the Govern-
ment were at present only taking a vote upon account;
that that vote must again come under consideration of
the house, even before the introduction of the Appro-
priation Bill, and that they could then discuss the mat-
ter if they thought' fit.
Mr. S. HERBERT observed that the vote which was
then undcr the consideration of the committee was not
one upon account, and that he thought it would be ex-
tremely convenient if it were taken upon account only.
Upon the circumstances of' peace or war must, in a great
measure depend the nature of the system for the educa-
tion and organisation of our troops ; and it was, there-
fore, desirable that the house should have an opportu-
nity of discussing the matter when the conferences came
to a close, and when they should know whether they
were called upon to provide fur the requirements of a
peace or a war establishment.
Col. NORTH wished to call the attention of the Go-
verument to a question connected with the Royal Mili-
tary College at ahandhurst. A select committee had seine
time ago been appointed by that house to take into con-
sideration the propriety of making provision for the edu-
cation of a limited number of the orphans of officers
of the army and navy in that establishment, and that
committee had recommended that ten such orphans
should be admitted last year, and that number should as
early 33 the present time be increased to 20. Now, not-
withstanding the recommendation of the committee, not
a single orphan had as yet been admitted to the institu-
tion, although it appeared that 25 cadets who paid at
the rate of 251. a year each, an:l two sons of field officers
who Reid at the rate of from 601. to 801. per ennuis], had
since obtained admission. He might add that the most
anxious desire of the committee was that the orphans of
those gallant officers who had fallen in defence of their
country should be enabled to enjoy the advantages which
the institution afforded. (Hear.) While speaking upon
that subject he might be allowed to advert to the fact,
that the governor of Sandhurst College—a most distin-
guished Peninsular officer, who had served his country
well for a period of near 60 or 70 years—had been •dis-
charged from his office as one might discharge a drunken
groom—(hear, hear)—after having received a six weeks'
notice. Having said thus much with reference to the
institution at Sandhurst, he sheuld beg next to call the
attention of the Government to some circumstances con-
nected with the Military Asylum for the sons of the non-
commissioned officers of our army. The subject was ono
which had been brought under the consideration of te
house in the year 1854, and a decided wish had upon
that occasion been expressed to the effect that the num-
ber of orphan sons of our non-commissioned officers in
the asylum should be increased by 120. Some months
after that decision had been arrived at, he (Colonel
North), being anxious to ascertain whether the wish
of the horse ha .l been carried into effect, had addressed
a letter to .his right honourable friend (Mr. Sidney
lirrhert) who at the time held the office of Secretary
at War, expressing a desire to obtain some informa-
tion upon the subject. His right hon. friend, with
his usual courtesy, had stated, i'i reply to that letter,
that a building for the reception of 120 boys would
be in readiness in the spring of 1855 ; but be (0 ,l.
North) on visiting the site of the building in the
month of June or July of the sameeyear, had found that
very little harl been done towards its erection. He hal
again paid the place a visit about a fortnight ago, and had
found that the building had been placed in a position to
admit 50 boys towards the end of last year, and that,
consequence of a notice which had been given by the hon.
member for Poritefraet, to the effect that lie would bring
the matter under the consideration of the house, an order
had been received upon the very morning of his (Colonel
North's) visit to admit 73 more boys, making a total of
120. Now hs hoped some satisfactory reason would be
given by the Government why those 120 orphans, the
sons of our brave soldiers who had perished in the Crimea,
had been thus deprived of the advantages of education
for a period of 18 months. (Hear.)
Mr. PEEL said be must admit that the report of the
committee te which the hon. and gallant member had
referred at the commencement of his observations had
as yet produCed no visible results ; but he could assure the
gallant officer that the recommendatiOn of that committee
was one which the Government were by no means disposed
to disregard. It was, however, clear that it was idle to
provide for the education of the orphans of our officers
at Sandhurst, unless the Government were in a position
to give them commissions when their education was
completed. Now, at the present moment the list of
commi-sip ns without purChase was filled up, a circum-
stance which was in a great measure owing to the fact
that those commissions were to a great extent conferred
upon volunteers from the militia into the line. It was,
therefore, quite cheer that the Government were not as
yet in a position to carry into effect the recommenda-
tions of the committee, but they only awaited a fitting
opportunity to adopt that course. With respect to the
Military Asylum at Chelsea, he had only to observe that
10,0001. had been appropriated for the purpose of pro-
viding accommodation for the 120 boys to whom the
hon. and gallant member had referred, and he under-
stood that the building devoted to that object was
now completed ; and he might state, in reply
to the suggestion of his right hon. friend (Mr. S.
Herbert), that the Government were prepared to take a
vote for 200,0001. at present, upon account, leaving the
remaining portion of the vote for scientific education for
another time.
Col. NORTH said ho saw no reason why the orphan
sons of officers should not have the same chance of get-
ting commissions without purchase as other persons.
Mr. EWART thought great educational reform was
required in the army ; and said he should like to know
what alterations had been made in the examination
papers, whether the examinations related not only to the
appointments, but to the promotions in the army ; and
also wished a return to be made of the number of schools
and libraries in the army.
Capt. L. VERNON said he was attached to the
Quartermaster-General's department in Ireland during 7
years of great trouble in that country, and knew some-
thing cf the education of the officers then employed in
the service, and on looking over the plans which were
sent in at various times, he was perfectly astonished and
amazed at the amount of education which existed amongst
the officers of the line. The hon. and gallant member
then went into a minute examination of the vote, object-
ing to several of the items of which it was composed.
Mr. MONSELL defended the vote, and explained the
items which had been objected to.
Sir F. T. BARING, as chairman of the committee
on the. Sandhurst College, expressed his disappointment
- at the explanation which had been given relative to that
institution. The committee had recommended the ap-
pointment of a number of orphans (sons of officers who
had lost their lives in the service of their country, and
whose families were in distress, and if there was no pos-
sibility of providing for these orphans, why had the Go-
vernment appointed the committee at all ? He hoped
the subject would be reconsidered, and that the Minis-
ters of thee Crown would take some measures for provid-
ing the means necessary for carrying out the recommene
dations of the committee. (Hear.)
Mr. PEEL said some of the recommendations con-
tained in the report of the committee were more properly
matters for the consideration of the commissioners of the
college than the Government. In proper time the recom-
mendations of the country would receive due attention.
Col, LINDSAY believed that the report of the com-
mittee had not received that attention which it deserved,
and called the attention of the Government to the state
•of the United Service Institution, remarking that the
taxation and rent obtained by the Government from that
institution was equal to the subscriptions of 860 of its
members—their subscriptions being 108. annually.
Col. BUCK had been much associated with officers of
engineers. Three of them had recommendations from the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, which enabled them to obtain
much information in travelling through Europe by the
aid of the sum granted by the Government. Ho wished,
therefore, to know what number of officers had availed
themselves of this fund. He much objected to Chatham
being selected as a place of study for young engineer offi-
cers. Did any examination take place on leaving Chat-
ham. He had heard that no such examination town place.
He had heard young officers complain of the wine they
were compelled to take, and of the mess expenses at
Chatham ; that state of things ought to be altered.
Mr. EWART had merely inquired the number of offi-
cers who travelled, without reference to the amount or

Lord MONT E AG L E of B RANDON moved for a return
of the number of joint-stock coinpantes completely reeiv-
tered, and also of those only provisionaly registered,
under the new act of .3855. Fie referred to the regis-
trar's returns showing a number of companies, such as
a patent Telescopic Fire Eseepe Company, a General
Newspaper Leauue Comeany, a Dutch Laundry Com-
pany, whose of jests were at all events doubtful, and
contended that the legal privilege of limited liability
should not be extended to any but genuine eammersiat
undertakings. lie thought the companies he had men-
tioned did not come within that category.
Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY did not see why
they should not.
Lord MON r EAGLE said that if these matters were
not looked to we should soon hare another commercial
panic worse than the last. There was a bill upon the
subject in the other house, and he should move that a
committee of their lordships be appointed to consider
its objects. He trusted. that the bill would be intro-
duced in time for proper discussion. •
Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said there could
be no objection to the returns ; but to ask in one house
for a committee upon a bill then before the other house,
was one of the most extraordinary suggestions he had
ever heard made fo their lordships.
Lord OVERSTONE said the Government had done
a far more extraordinary act than that, and he much
regretted the levity with which the noble lord seemed
to treat this question. A hilt lied been brought forward
by the noble lord (Lord Stanley of Alderley) himself,
directly in the teeth of the evidence before the commit-
tee' and of their report, and yet it was declared that the
bill was brought in in consequence of that report. Was
that a customary or rational course ! The bill had also
been brought in only three days before the 'end of last
session, with most improper haste, and the first act of
the Government this.}-ear was to bring in a bill to re-
peal that of last year. He had lived through all the
great commercial crisis of the last 30 years, and strongly
protested against the course adopted as dangerous in the
extreme. Those artificial and ludicrously named com-
panies which had been referred to were sown in times
of dearness and scarcity of money, when they would
not fructify for the present ; but still the poisonous
seed was in the ground, and by and by, when the
precious metals beean to return, it would spring up,
and produce its bitter fruits in most destructive pro-
fusion. When he saw the manner in which Go-
vernment bad treated the matter, he confessed ho
bad very serious apprehensions for the fate of
our commercial institutions. Nor could it be said triey
were without experience—the panics of 1825 and 1345
should have taught a lesson that would not easily be for-
gotten. It was because we had been constantly and
wisely mending our Legislature that we had made our
commercial system so perfect. We had been enabled
'during the last six months to go through a drain of the
precious metals, which he was confident every well-in-
formed and experienced person would agree with him in
saying was the most severe this country had ever wit-
nessed within thp memory of living man. Moreover, we
bad gone through that period with all our commercial
and trading operations stable, sound, and firm. Of this
we bad a just right to be proud, but it was at the same
timea phenomenon which her Majesty's Government and
those who were charged with this particular department
were bound to study and thoroughly to understand. All
our legislation upon this subject up to the present time
had been based upon sound principles, upon thatprinciple
which Mr. Huskisson affirmed when hesaid that thegreat
danger of this country, the magnitude of its groat crises,
arose from an undue extension of credit, which had led to
an inors:inate love of speculation. Now it was proposed
that that system, from which we had reaped such valu-
able fruits, should be reversed by this law of limited lia-
bility, the unquestionable and inevitable principle of
which would be to extend and intensify the system of
credit, and to stir up that demon of speculation which
had for the present been successfully allayed. The prin-
ciple of the bill was utterly untenable, for it affirmed
that a man might borrow without being obliged to re-
pay—that one man might take another man's goods
to carry out his own purposes, without being compelled
tinder all circumstances to pay back what he had bor-
rowed. This was no new way of stating the case, for if
their lordships looked into ancient books and into Saxon
acts• they would find that credit was called borrowing
another man's goods. Their lordships might depend
upon it that if they filled the commercial world with such
speculations they would poison the whole tone of com-
mercial morality, disturb the legitimate state of prises,
and draw the whsle system into a whirlpool from which
it could not escape. It was on behalf of the cornmer-
coil world that he protested against a measure which
was false in principle as regards policy, and false in
principle as regard:Euler:silty. He trusted her Majesty's
Government would not refuse a committee to inquire
into the subject. ( Hear, hear.
Earl GRANVILLE said it was not his intention to
follow the • noble lord who bad just sat down through
the various points ofahis speech. He quite admitted
that it was at a verylate period of last session that the
bill alluded to was introduced, and he admitted, fur-
ther, that it was inconvenient that their lordships
should be called upon to affirm measures of so much
importance at so bite a period. The House of
Commons had at that time sanctioned the prin-
ciple of the bill, and Mr. Caldwell, who had been
at the Board of Trade, had promised charters to
• several companies, so thet it was necessary to pass
the bill in order to satisfy those companies that
were Making application. The noble lord had stated
that the Government had carried the bill by their
own votes, when no peers were on the opposition
benches. That was a circumstance which the Govern-
ment could not help. Due notice was given of the bill
being brought before their lordships, and noble lords op-
posite, rather than oppose a measure of which they ap-
proved, absented themselves. Due notice had also been
given of the motion which the noble lord (Nlonteagle)
had made that night, and what was the state of the
Opposition benches— why, there was only one vob'e
lord (Dungannon) sitting there, and he had taken his
seat since the last debate upon the question. ("Ilea;
hear," and laughter.) The whole question seemed to
be whether the Government were to pledge them-
selves to a committee, or to fix a time when the

abled to afford the required information. But when ques-
tions of high state policy—questions of peace or war—ques-
tions regarding the progress of negotiations—whether cer-
tain impor•ant circumstances have or have not occurred
in foreign courts in which we are directly interested—
when such questions are addressed to the First Minister
of the Crown, it bas never, that I am aware of, been con-
sidered necessary to give previous intimation of the in-
tention to ask them— (hear)—and in the present state of
affairs, when the communication between one country
and another is so rapid, it is impossible to give such pre-
vious intimation, because the information upon which
the question is founded arrives often even while we are

Mr. STAFFORD asked the Chancellor of the Ei-che:
quer when the Treasury would approve or reject the
warrant in reference to our Army Medical Department,
which had been sent from the War-office with the recom-
mendation of the Secretary of State for the War De-
partment ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
the warrant had been communicated to the Treasury, and
was one of considerable magnitude and importance, in-
volving not only the question of increaie of pay to the
medical department of the army, but st'wo that of the me-
dical department of other branches of her Majesty's ser-
vice. The Treasury thought it inconsistent to accede to
the proposition, and he was unable to say when there
was any prospect of its being carried out.

Mr. FENWICK thought some arrangement might
be made for the final settlement of the question ef pas-
sing tolls.
Lord PALMERSTON said the committee would re-
port on the whole subject.
Mr. GIBSON contended that the house bad not yet
pronounced any opinion upon the matter. He did not
think the right hon. gentleman the member for Wells
(Mr. Hayter) and the noble lord the member for Scar-
borourh (Lord Mulgrave) had shown sufficient confi-
dence ix the strew 4th off' their party in advising the with-
drawal of the measure, for he be:ieved that if the Vice-
President of the Board of Trade had persisted in his mo-
tion, ho would have succeeded in carrying it.
After a short discussion, the motion for the appoint-
ment of a committee was :hen agreed to.

Fitting here ; whereas it is important that no delay should
be endured in making the appeal to the Government as
to whether it is authentic or not. Well, I thought yea-
terday that it was peculiarly an occasion when it was
the duty of the house to afford the opportunity to the
Minister of informing Parliament and the country whe-
ther, in fact, so important an event had really occurred
as that I alluded to, viz., the invitation and accession of
Prussia to the conferences. (Rear.) But what way
the answer I received from the noble lord ? If it were
not fresh in the recollection of all who heard me,
and fresh in my own memory, I should almost
think I was labouring under some strange hallu-
cination when I recall to the notice of the house that
the noble lord declined to give any information as to the
important subject of my inquiry. The noble lord said
that the first rule laid down by the conference of Paris
was that there should be complete secrecy with regard
to all their proceedings, and that therefore it was not in

• THE ATTACK ON THE RED AN.
Colonel FRENCH reminded the noble lord that he
had not answertd his question.
Lord PALMERSTON said that upon receiving the
first account of the repulse of the Redan, his noble friend
(Lord Panmare) wrote fur further details, which when
received were considered satisfactory. He was far from
looking at that attack as a failure, or as casting any slur
on the English army—(hear)—but rather as au honour-
able day, and of glory to the British soldier, proviug the
bravery and valour of both the officers and men in under-
tuking that desperate service. (Cheers.) He reminded
the gallant colonel that the assault in question was the
result of a joint arrangement with our allies, and that if
the English did not succeed, the French were also un-
successful three times on that day. (Hear, hear.) He
considered that these attacks, unsuccessful as they had
been, had tended to the success in the principal quarter
-the Malakhoff ; and, far from the 18th June being a
'reproach to the British army, he thought it shed alli-
tional lustre on their arm. (Loufsl cheers.)

The remaining orders of the day were then disposed
of, and the house adjourned at a quarter past one
o'clock.

his power to give any answer to my question. It may be
expedient—indeed, I think myself in the present case
there can be no doubt of the expediency—it may be
highly expedient and politic that the negotiations
shoull be secret ; but there is a great difference be-
tween negotiations being kept secret, and the parties
to the negotiations and the names of the negotiators
remaining unknown. (Cheers.) The very fact that
the negotiations aro secret is, I think, an additional
reason why the negotiators should be known—for the
first condition of confidence is, that we should be ac-
quainted with those who have the transaction of the
affairs in which wo are interested, and the very resolution
of the conference which the noble lord quoted as his rea-
-1 son for not answering my question appears to mo to be an
argument—if argument were necessary on such a point—
in favour of the utmost frankness as to the persons, and
if passible the powers and instructions of the negotiators.
It is not, however, requisite to argue on such questions,
for the principle the noble lord lays down is absolutely
impracticable. If it were true, as I stated to the hence,
that not only had the invitation been made, but that
Prussia had accepted it, and had even nominated her
plenipotentiaries, if that wera true, as I believe it to be,
and that the plenipotentiaries have arrived in Paris at
this moment, as I am told, I say that tLese are incidents
that cannotbe concealed even if it be desired. It the
plenipotentiaries of Prussia are absolutely in Paris, no
reserve on no part of the conference or the noble lord
can keep the roatter secret. If Baron Mauteuffel end
his col!eag,ne, M. llalzfeldt, are at Parts fn. the pur-
pose of attendiog the conferences, it is not to be
supposed that they go to the hotel of the Foreign
Minister in disguise, or present themse'ves at M.
