speech he admitted the vigour and energy which the noble
earl bad displayed. Let him first call the attention of the
Ihouse to the position in which General Williams went to
Kars. It seemed, lie thought, that sending him there
was the commencement of a British campaign in Asia
Minor; and that we thereby pledged the power and
the reputation of England in a contest with. tho armies
of Russia. That was not ' the case. Ho *as merely sent
there to advise tho Turkish generals, who were plunged
in corruption, to organize their army in such a
manner as to enable them to make such a stand
as it was thought would be useful to the common
cause. Then it was said that Lord Stratford de Redcliffe
had neglected to . answer General Williams's letter. But
what had he neglected to do.? It was perfectly plain that he
had exerted himself to the utmost with the Porte to attain
the objects that General Williams had in view. Whatever
was the result of Lord Redcliffe's silence it had nothing to do
with the fall of Kars, because his silence ceased in Dec.,185:,
and Kars did not fall till November, 1855. Now, he would
ask the house hr what position were the allies in Europe at
that time when the Russians broke up their winter quarters
in Asia Minor. It. was no doubt then found by General Wil-
liams that the troops for the defence of Kars were not suffi-
cient; but,it did not follow that her Majesty's Government
was bound to find troops for that purpose. There was at that
time a great enterprise in the Crimea ; and it certainly "as
a question whether troops might not be sent thence to Kars.
' Omer Peeha said that if they would allow him to take his
troops from Sebastopol, he would invade Geergia by way of
relieving Kars. Her Majesty's Government considered that
proposition, and came to the conclusion that it would not bo
safe to reduce the number oft. oops before Sebastopol; but even
if the War Minister hail taken a different view of the case it must
be remembered,that we were bound to our allies, and could
not act in such a matter without their consent. The noble
lord who spoke 1 st made -a charge against the British Go-
vernment that they sent out instructions clogged by condi.
tions which ho knew were not the work of the British Go-
vernment, but of the French. (Hear.) That proposition of
Omer Paella was rejected both by the generals in the Crimea
and by the allies at home. Suppose by the removal of those
troops Balaklava, hid been taken, would not a strewe cise
have then been made out against the Government for want of
prudence and foresight. The hon and learned gentleman
who commenced the debate seemed co think that there had
been a vacillation and hesitation on the part of Lord Chiron-
don in his correspondence with Lord Stratford and General
Williams, but every one who looked to ti at correspondence
would see that there was throughout an earnestness
and straightforwardness which reflected the highest credit
upon the Foreign Minister, and showed how zealous
he was, not only that Kars should be defended, but that
the war generally should be carried on with vigour. Re.
ference had been made to the Tnrkish lean. Everybody
knew how the !Government was treated about that matter.
(Hear, hear ) After the treaty had been actually made, gen-
tlemen opposite were willing to break both the treaty and the
alliance, by refusing the loan. (Hear, hoar.) He merely
mentioned the subject in connection with the debate that
night in order to show how hon. gentlemen's opinions might
change. In reference to the want of foresight he might re-
mind the house that if it had not been for the prudence and
foresight exercised by the British Government, Omer Paella's
army might have been lost in the Georgian expeditio and Se-
bastopol not taken after all, (Hear, hear.)
Oa the Motion of Mr.. J. G. PHILLIMORE, the debate
was adjourned until to-morrow (Tuesday).
