LONDON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1856.

The Royal Speech has been delivered, and de-
bates have followed in due course. Some infor-
mation has been obtained, but not to the extent
which Parliament and the country had a right to
anticipate. We know that the negotiations are
to take place at Paris, and that the honour and
interests of Great Britain are to be confided to
the charge of the Earl of CLARENDON. We
are also told that there shall be no relaxa-
tion of our naval or military preparations
a satisfactory treaty of peace shall
have been concluded. This, however, we
fear, is more than can be hoped for under
existing circumstances. The mysterious fifth
article must indeed be largely developed if the
final arrangements are to prove satisfactory to the
British nation or conducive to its honour and in-
terests.

In the Upper House, I,lrd DERBY spoke out
boldly and intelligibly on the subject of Kars, and
thus gracefully repaired a grave omission is the
opening address. A few words of praise and
sympathy might well have been bestowed on our
gallant countrymen, of whose brilliant exploits
and patient endurance we may well be proud, but
who were at length obliged to succumb—not to
the overwhelming numbers of the enemy, but to
the still more unconquerable force of sheer famine.

That is truly a question which should raise a

blush of shame on the cheek of the Minister,
which should cause him to hesitate, and be
paralysed, when the subject was alluded to. The
cause of this deplorable, and, we regret to be
obliged to add, scandalous transaction must be
strictly investigated, so that the real criminal
or criminals may be discovered, and sub-
jected to the severe punishment and universal
condemnation which he or they have so
greatly deserved. \Ve do not believe that it
cad be traced to any feeling of paltry jealousy on
the part of our august Ally. We fear that the
delinquents will be found nearer home, and that
England, in vindication of its own character and
its own interests, will have to determine on a
very summary but decided course in reference to
the offenders.

We regret, however, to tiud that Lord DERBY,
as well as Mr. DISRAELI in the other House, ad-
vocated "the policy of abstention ;" or, in other
words, of refraining from any comments, sugges-
tions, or observations respecting the progress of
the negotiations. We confess that we greatly
prefer the manly and straightforward course in-
dicated by Mr. ROEBUCK, whose admirable speech
was all that could be desired. The Honourable
Gentleman pointed out that, as the honour and
interests of England
are in the keeping of the ,
House, it is
our imperative duty to watch over
the negotiations, and to know every step that is
taken, and every proposition that is made. In
his emphatic words, the House must watch care-
fully and vigilantly over the negotiators and the
negotiations of. Paris.

The proceedings of yesterday will materially
add to the reputation of Jolix .4.e.rnun ROEBUCK.
He previously stood high in the estimation of his
countrymen. He has greatly elevated his posi-
tion. He has shown that England can boast of
at least. one man who will fearlessly utter unwel-
come truths without descending t 9 personal con-
