It is understood that a heavy loss by fire at Bar-
badoes has been sustained by some of tho English insur-
ance offices. The total is reported
at £130,000 and the
Sun-office is said to be the largest loser.
The Committee on Joint-Stock Banks on Thurs-
day determined to recommend to the private establishments
that the general hour for closing on Saturdays should be
fixed at 3 o'clock, instead of 4 o'clock as at present The
question will be decided by the private bankers on Monday
next, and no doubt is entertained that three will be the hour
adopted. The agitation on the question commenced by the
expression of a desire on the part of a majority of the lead-
ting commercial houses that the closing ou Saturdays should
take vlace at two o'clock,

and there was reason for believing that he had died cf a
fit. The last statement he believed to be 'a gratuitous
assumption. The coroner also alluded to the uncertainty
of coroners receiving their fees in the county of Kent.
Mr, DEEDES defended the conduct of the magistrates
in Kent, and contended that no difficulties were thrown in
the way of inquests in that county.
INDIAN PRINCES AND INDIAN GOVERNORS.
In answer to Mr...S.stoeetne
Sir C. WOOD ea:d he had no objec-ien to lay oa the
table all the papere on the subject, and vindicated the con-
duct of Lord Dalhousie.
WINE LICENSES.
Mr. E. JAMES had the following question on the paper :
—Whether, in the bill introduced by the t hancellor of the
Exchequer for the granting of winelicenses, it was intended
to exclude houses licensed for the sale of beer, under the
provisions of the acts regulating the sale of bcer, from the
right of obtaining licenses for the sale of refreshments ;
and, if so licensed, then from theright of obtaining a license
for the sale of wines under the provisions of his bill.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then pro-
ceeded to answer it. He observed that of course be had no
authority to construe the language of the bill beyond any
other person, although he was its framer; but he would
describe in a few words the intention of the bill, and be
was the more willing to do so because he had seen a sort of
convenient analysis in the public papers, from which he
did net think the effect of the proposed enactment wa4
rightly apprehended. (Hear.) The bill had three prin-
cipal objects in vlew—he would not mention secondary
ones. The first object related to refreshment houses, as a
class, without exception. The object with respect to re-
freshment-houses universally was to remedy an evil much
and justly complained of—that they were exempted from
the supervision of the police. If it pleased the house to
give its assent to the provisions of this bill the effect of it
would be that all occupiers of such houses would be com-
pelled to take out licenses at a low late, with the excep-
tion of certain small houses in country places. They would
be thus under the supervision of the police, and subject
to penalties and restraint. (Hear, hear.) The other ob-
ject of the bill had reference to these refreshment-houses
which might properly be termed eating-houses; and an
attempt had been made in the bill to define what was the
true nature of an eating-house, in order to ensure a faith-
ful and just definition in practice. As defined by the bill,
the keepers of eating-houses would have the privilege to
apply for licenses which would enable them to sell foreign
wines. The hon. member asked whether it was meant to
exclude houses which sold beer. His answer to this ques-
-tion was that he desired by the bill not to touch in any
manner what was known as beer-houses, that was to say,
drinking-houses kept for the sale of 'beer and holding
licenses under the Beer Acts. To a further question,
whether a license for the sal. of lea would, ip.ny-fizau
a disqualification for the sale of wine, be must say that
;hat
was a point upon which the house would have to exercise
its own judgment; but as the bill stood, and in the inten•
tion with which it was framed in the case of eating-houses
licensed fOr the sale of beer, it was not meant that that of
itself should constitute a disqualification for the sale of
wine.

IM PE RIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took hi seat on the woolsack
it fire o'clock.

THE DIVORCE ACT.
The Earl of WICKLOW presented a petitio-i from Dub
lin, 'praying that the Divorce and Matriwonir,l Causes Act
might be extended to Ireland.
The Marquis of CLANRICA.RDE presented a pition
from Dr. Cahill to a similar effect. He did not Irish teto see
the law extended to Ireland, but he thought Something ought
to be done to enable parties residing in Ireand to come
, to this country, and avail thEmselve.s of the provisions of
the Divorce Act.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said when he was
amending the bill, he introduced a clause enabling Irish
Protestants to come to England and avail themselves of
the act, which clause was supported by all the Irish peers
in the house, but it was struck out of the bill in its pro-
gress through the ether house.

I NAPLES.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH drew the attention of
their lordships to the present state of affairs at Naples. It
seemed to be clear that affairs could not continue in their
present state, and as a great number of English ships were
in the Bay of Naples he should like to know what were the
instructions given to the officer in command of those ships,
and whether in the event of the King being driven to ask
for protection it would be afforded.
Tke Duke of SOMERSET said there were no special in-
structions. The ships were sent there merely for the pur-
pose of protecting persons persecuted by the Neapolitan
Government.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGII said, then he was to
understand that the officer in command would only be called
upon to act on the dictates of common humanity.
Lord REDESDALE said he should like a more explicit
answer. He was sure it never could be intended that a
person guilty of high treason should escape punishment
and receive protection on board those ships.
The Earl of MALMESBURY also thought it was de-
sirable there should be some further explanation.
The Duke of SOMERSET said, in acting as he bad
done he was only following out the precedent adopted in
countries which had been in a state of revolution.
The Earl of DERBY said there had been no insurrection
or rebellion. There was no overt disagreement between the
King and his Sicilian subjects.
Earl GREY defended the course adopted. In the pre-
sent aspect of affairs at Naples it was impossible to knuw
whether it would be necessary to afford protection to per-
sons merely asking it. The mere dictates of humanity
might demand it.
The subject thou dropped.
SAVOY AND NICE.
The Earl of CARNARVON called attention to the
telegram received from Turin, stating that arrangements
had been made between the King of Sardinia and the
Emperor Napoleon for the cession to the latter of Savoy.
and Nice. He pointed out the difference between the tele-
gram and the despatches which had been written by M.
Thouvenel, and asked whether the Government were in
possession of any information which would throw a light
upon the extraordinary circumstance.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE said the question was most
extraordinary, and protested against the practice of asking
questions in that house upon telegrams published in the
newspapers. The despatch to which the noble lord more par-
sularly referred to had only been received at the Foreign-
office within the last 24 hours, and he must really be ex-
cused from entering upon a discussion of its contents. The
Government, he was sure, could not be accused of keeping any information on an• important subject from the know-
ledge of the house.
The Earl of MALMESBURY said the noble duke was
quite justified in the answer he had given, and declining to
enter into a discussion on the subject of a despatch which
had been but recently received. He thought the noble
duke was rather hard upon his noble friend, who had merely
asked for information.

FRENCH FORTIFICATIONS ON THE ISLAND OF
ST. PIERRE.
Mr. IJALIBURTON wished to ask the Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs if his attention had been called to
the fact of the French Government having erected fortifi-
cations on the Island of St. Pierre. The hon. and learned
gentleman commenced by saying that in former years it
was well known that the people of almost every country in
Europe used to resort to Labrador and Newfoundland for
the purpose of fishing, but by degrees the fishing became
confined to three countries—England, America, and
France. England, which possesssed Newfoundland
and the coast of Labrador, was the largest ;
America, from having a right of fishing three leagues
from the coast, and from having large casements for curing
fish on the shore, was the second ; the third was France,
which possessed two small islands, St. Pierre and Miquelon,
which became the centre of a very large fishery which had
flourished very much of late years. With these islands
they claimed the use of that portion of the shore of New-
foundland which was uninhabited. Almost at any peace
that had taken place for a century and a half those
islands
were generously restored to France. The last time those
islands ware so given up was in 1814. For some years little
notice was taken, but of late years successive French Go-
vernments had given large bounties on the catch of fish,
which were so large that no less than from 30,000 to 40,000
mon were engaged in these fisheries. The purpose of
France was in this way to create a nursery for her seamen ;
and the result was that the French fishermen could under-
sell all competitors in the Halifax marker, and even their
own countrymen in Quebec. They had of late yea,* pushed
their claims so far as St. George's Bay, and had given notice
to 2,000 British subjects to remove or they would pull their
houses down. All the population, in fact, of that part of
Newfoundland were under warning. (Hear.) The truth was,
this fishery was of more importance to France than the coal of
England. Theproceedings of the French in th e neighbourhood
of the Straits of Belleisle had occasioned so much bad blood
among the British subjects there that it was much feared a
conflict would occur. The other point to which he wished
to direct attention was the fortifications which had been
erected by the French on the island of St. Pierre. The two
little barren islands of St Pierre and Miquelon were, owing
to their position, of great political and geographical im-
portance. They were situated at tho larger outlet of the
Straits of Belleisle, they commanded the entrance to the
Gulf of St. Lawrence, and they were not 40 hours' sail (not
steamers) from the shores of New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia. In addition to the fortifications which the French
had erected, they had made the island a naval station. lie
had seen two steamers in the harbour of Cape Breton
under the pretence of receiving the mails from the Cunard
boats. Whatever the object, there they were ; and in the
event of a war a great portion of the commerce of the
country might be swept away by the privateers and war
vessels lurking about those waters. By the 6th article of
the Treaty of Paris it was provided " that the King of Great
Britain cedes the islands of St. Pierre
Most: cumuli-Majesty, to serve as a shell er for the French
fishermen, and his said Most Christian Majesty engages not
to fortify the said islands (hear, hear), is to erect no build-
ings upon them but for the convenience of the fishing, and
and to keep a guard of 50 men only for a police." In spite
of this provision he knew of his own knowledge that the
islands were made a naval station—there was a large coal
depot there, and a large number of armed men, sailors and
marines, who in a short time could take possession of the
neighbouring coast. He begged earnestly to call the atten-
tion of the noble lord to this subject. (Hear, hoar.)
SAVOY AND NICE.
Mr. KINGLAKE wished to ask the Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs whether there was any objection to lay
upon the table of the house his answer to Lord Bloomfield's
despatch of the 3d day of March, respecting the proposed
annexation of Savoy and Nice to France. The hon. gentle-
man said his object in giving notice of this question was to
point the attention of the house to the attitude which Prus-
sia had taken in the present European crisis. He found
that Baron Schleinitz, Prime Minister of Prussia, had
stated to Lord Bloomfield, that in all Germany there was
but one opinion as to the character of the intended annexe-
tion ; that for a time his Prussian Majesty had trusted to
the statement made by the French Emperor in his Milan
proclamation, but that he now was of opinion that the time
for maintaining silence had ceased. (Hear, hear.) The
despatch concluded by the baron stiting that the policy of
Prussia was decidedly opposed to this annexation ; and his
opinion that France might now be called upon to refrain
from taking any further steps until a conference of the
Powers should be held. He must say that he read the do -
spatch with great pleasure. (Hear, hear.) It indicated
an intention on the part of Prussia to take a step as closely
similar as possible to that which he (Mr. Kinglake) had
ventured to indicate by the notice which he had given last
week. He could not but regard that as an overture of great
importance, and one to which he trusted they might, in
later times, look back as the commencement of the pacifica-
tion of Europe. Not only was the overture itself a matter
of deep importance, but the noble lord the Secretary of
state for Foreign Affairs must also be aware that the puh.
lication of that despatch, and the laying it before the houne,
was also a matter of very deep importance. This despatch
to which he referred bore date the 3d of March. Some of
the papers contained
in the correspondence already pre-
sented were dated so late as the 9th of March, but
they did not include the answer which the noble
lord must have given to the despatch in question. He
now, therefore, begged to ask the noble lord whether he
would consent to lay that answer on the table. He
trusted, when they saw the answer to the despatch,
it would prove worthy of the spirit is which the
Prussian overture had been made. He would also ask the
noble lord for any general information with respect to the
pending question of the annexation of Savoy and Nice, be.
cause he felt sure that any information which the noble lord
could give would be read with grateful satisfaction. On
Tuesday last, the noble lord at the head of the Government
led them to expect that the proposed annexation would not
take place without France consulting, and sincerely consult-
ing,. the other Powers of Europe. (Hear, hear.) He
trusted that the noble lord would now be able to say that
the expectations then held out had not been falsified—that
the rumours of the last two days were inconsistent with the
truth, and that it was not a fact that the Emperor of the
French, in spite of all he had said, was proceeding to that
annexation without consulting the great Powers of Europe,
and that he was carrying annexation to the extent of in-
cluding Chablais, Faucigny, and Genevois. He trusted
that the information which the noble lord might give would
relieve much of the anxiety which now oppressed Europe.
(Hear, hear.)
Sir R. PEEL, before the noble lord rose, wished to ask
whether the noble lord was aware of the danger which, in
the present state of affairs, positively threatened the neu-
trality and independence of Switzerland. He was loath to
trespass on the attention of the house with this matter, but
the time had arrived when it was absolutely essential they
should give some expression to their opinion. He believed
he expressed the feelings of every man in that house, and
of every man of feeling throughout the country, whenho de-
clared that an outrage had been inflicted upon the public
feeling of Europe, but which had been particularly directed
against the Government of this country. They had been
told over and over again that there was no danger of the
French Emperor proceeding to the extremities which were
now threatened; but he had himself received a telegraphic
despatch from Anneoy, in the district of Chablais and
Faucigny, assuring him that the country was worked (Ira.
vailNe) from one end to the other, and the municipalities of
the district were perfectlyready to vote annexation to France.

MISREPRESENTATION OF MR. COBDEN'S
POLITICAL SENTIMENTS.
Mr. BRIGHT drew the attent;on of the house to a per-
sonal matter having reference to his hon. friend the mem-
ber for Rochdale. The hon. member for North War-
wickhire had made a statement in a speech on the
budget, in which he attributed to Mr. Cobden, being
influenced in regard to the commercial treaty by his leaning
towards the policy of the Emperor of the French. That
statement was made upon the authority of a Manchester
paper notoriously hostile to Mr. Cobden. He (Mr. Bright)
had received a letter from Mr. Cobden disavowing alto-
gether the sentiments attributed to him, and requesting him
to ask Mr. Newdegate to retract his assertions.
Mr. NEWDEGATE said that there were some inaccu-
racies in the report of his speech on the occasion alluded
to. At the time he made the statement complained of, he
had read a letter in the Mandester Guardian attributing
to Mr. Cobden the political sentiments which he considered
him to have entertained. However, he did not rest his
opinions on that letter, for he considered that Mr. Cobden
had for years advocated institutions which were not free
institutions. The hon. member here read the letter in ques-
tion, as well as extracts from various speeches delivered by
Mr:Cobden during some years past.
After a few remarks from Mr. BnrGirT, the subject
dropped.

CHURCH RATES.
Lord J. RUSSELL presented a bulky petition from the

THUNDERSTORM AT BELGIUM, &c.
Mr. FREELAND asked the First Commissioner of
Works whether his attention had been called to a despatch
from our Minister at Brussels, dated the 24th February
last, stating that on the preceding Sunday a violent thun-
derstorm, accompanied by an unprecedentedly heavy fall of
snow, had overspread Belgium, that twelve churches had
been simultaneously struck by lightning, and that three of
them had been totally destroyed, and others much injured.
Whether he had seen a paragraph in the Times of
August, 1857, stating that the flag-tower of Windsor
Castle had been struck by lightning, and that about four
tons of the parapet had been displaced ; and whether any
provision had been made, or is to be made, for securing the
public buildings which are under the control of the Board
of Public Works against such injuries or destruction by
lightning, as have occurred at Windsor Castle and in
Belgium ?
Mr. COWPER said that his attention had been drawn
to the accident in Belgium, but he saw no reason to depart
from the usual custom in respect to adopting additional
means for securing public buildings from accidents by
lightning, as such would be attended with considerable
expense. With regard to Windsor Castle, the damage
alluded to had been repaired at a cost of 30s. (A laugh.)
INDIAN MILITARY MEDICAL OFFICERS.
Mr. BAZLEY asked the Secretary of State for India,
whether the medical officers of her Majesty's Indian Army
have had all the privileges conceded to them which the
royal warrant of lst day of Oct., 1858, entitled them to re-
,
cm.?
Sir C. WOOD was understood to answer in the affirma-
tive.

Mr. T. BUNCOMBE TOLL
asked theGATES Secretary of State for
the Home Department whether it was the intention of her
Majesty's Government to introduce any measure, during
the present session, on the subject of the toll gates in the
neighbourhood of the metropolis, in consequence of the
report of the Royal Commission thereon ?
Mr. CLIVE said that inquiries on the subject were in
progress, and that he could not at present supply the infor-
mation required.

OYSTER FISHERIES.
Mr. CAVE asked the President of the Board of Trade a
question respecting certain papers which had been moved
for relative to 1 he oyster fishery.
Mr. M. GIBSON said that there had been no motion
made on tho subject, but he had stated on a previous occa-
sion there were no papers of any use to be laid on the table.
With reference to France, there had been no remonstrance
on the part of that State on the ►ubject.
FORESHORES (SCOTLAND.)
Mr. FIN LAY asked the Lord Advocate whether he had
received a memorial from certain proprietors and road
trustees in the county of Argyll, complaining of the claims
made by the Crown to the foreshores of Scotland, and to
the property of the solum or ground of the seashores up to
high-water mark; whether he had in consequence, com-
municated with the Commissioners of Woods and Forests,
and with what result ; and whether the claim by the Crown
to the property of the whole foreshores of Scotland was
made in accordance with the advice and opinion of the law
officers of the Crown in Scotland ?
The LORD-ADVOCATE said he had received the
memorial in question, and explained that the Crown bad
been advised by the law officers of Scotland in regard to the
subject.
PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATION (SCOT-

tion of the house was one of the greatest importance. Per-
haps the house would allow him to touch on one of the
expressions in it, because it showed that the Cabinet of
Prussia had taken up a dignified attitude, which he hoped
and had good reason to
believe, that her Majesty's Govern-
mint was also very desirous to take up. Lord Bloomfield
said in No. 21 despatch, page 23, that Baron Schleinitz
told him that in Germany there was but one opinion cn

•
this subject, and that was one of determined opposi-
Lion to the annexation of Savoy; and that the baron had
also informed the French Minister that the Cabinet of
Prussia had found it difficult to restrain the violent feeling
excited in Germany by the war iu Italy. Now, the noble
lord (Lord Palmerston) said the other night that the war in
Italy was merely carrying out the policy that the empire
was peace. Now, it appeared that Baron Sehleinitz had
stated that the Government of Prussia had made them-
selves unpopular by endeavouring fo restrain the feeling
of the people of Germany; but that it must not be eon-
sidered that their eilcncc with regard to Savoy introit indif
ference—because they viewed the absorption of Savoy with
the greatest mistrust. Surely this house ought to view the
matter in the same light; and every country in Europe was
I Quad t) give every opposition to this policy of aneexatien,
which Lord Derby the other night declared had been com-
menced under e feeble pretext of danger from another
country. If such a pretext were accepted as sufficient, it
would be sufficient to justify the seizure of the Rhenish
Provinces and Belgians. (Hear, hear.) Indeed, news-
papers were now published on the Belgian frontiers,
openly advocating annexation ,with France, slid showing
the advantages which would be derived by abolishing the _
dorteniees—(hear, hear)—and every Tower in Europe
should endeavour to check with vigour such a policy. Its
could net refrain from making some allusion to the conduct
of the Government of Sardinia in this matter. Everybody
in this country believed Count Cavour to be a disinterested
statesman and eminent 'patriot; but he must say that on
reading his despatches it appeared that he was not only
endeavouring to deceive the Government of this country, ,
but that he was acting with a mock dignity which was
quite unworthy of his position. Count Cavcur, writing to
the Sardinian '.Minister at Paris, M. Xigra, said the King of
Sardinia would not consent to cede, sell, or exchange any
part of the territory which formed the glorious appanage of
the House of Savoy; but he doted the despatch with tiles*
words—that he could not refrain from taking into conside-
ration the change which late events in Italy had made in
the state of the people of Savoy. Sir James Hudson said
Count Cavour called on him and said he could only repeat
to bins that. Sardinia had no disposition to cede, sell, or ex
change Savoy or any part of his Majesty's domistions, but •
he ended by saying—" After all, the question is a question
for Savoy, and ~,, t far „any- other -kingdom " Why, this
was not a French, not a Savoyard, but an European ques-
tion. (Hear, hear.) It was not a question whether Savoy
should be incorporated with France, but whether the Ring
of Sardinia could give up this appanage of the House of
Savoy, this inheritance of his ancestors; whether Europe
at this moment would allow the King of Sardinia, in a pri-
vate arrangement with the Emperor of the French, to give
up that which he had enjoyed ever since 1315. lie restricted
it to that period, because Savoy was then re-annexed to Sar-
dinia, and the King of Sardinia received 10milliensof francs
to fortify it. The question was whether Europe would
allow the King of Sardinia now to part with that territory.
Tho thing was impossible. The hon. member for Binning..
ham said theothernight—"Perish Savoy." It had perished,
and he hoped tho hon. member was satisfied. They would
have " perish Switzerland" next, and we should have
"perish all the liberties of Europe." The hon. member said
besides, " After all, the map of Europe, as regarded the
limits of the States of Europe, was not worth ono moment's
consideration," and more than that, the hon. gentleman
asked, "Do you want to settle the map of Europe !" "No,"
he answered, " the people of this country de not want to
settle the snap of Europe, but they do not want to unsettle
it." (Hear, hoar.) They did not want to recommend Go-
vernment to pursue a comae contrary to its dignity, bat
they did want to check and curb the policy of France,
which had outraged public opinion and had roused the in-
dignation of Europe. His hon. friend and himself some
nights ago, in the first discussion of this question, were
told that this was not a subject of importance as respected
England. Time had shown the great gravity of this ques-
tion. While advocating the interests of Savoy and Swit-
zerland they had been pleading the rights of nations and the
cause of justice. (Hear, hear) He wanted her Majesty's
Government to come forward in a loyal and straightforward
manner and protest against the conduct of France. He
denounced his policy ; for the union of France and Savoy
would not only affect the future interests of Piedmont and
the future condition of Savoy, but it was the first act of a
conspiracy against the rights and liberties of every State of
Europe.
Mr. WHITESIDE called attention to the memorial from
certain British residents in Spain, presented to the Secre-
tary of State, complaining of the restrictions put upon the
exorcise of religious worship by them, and he asked whether
the law of Spain visited with punishment a British subject
resident in Spain for professing any other religion thara
that of the State, or for sending his children to any ether
than a Spanish school.
Lord J. RUSSELL, in answer to the question of the
hon. and learned member for Launceston (Mr. Haliburton)
respecting the Island of St. Pierre, said there is no doubt
that fortifications are forbidden by the treaty of 1763, and
also by the treaty of 1783, but the treaty of 1783 was made
at a period when this country did not stand in so high a po-
sition as in 1763. But in the year 1856 the attention if the - __Poraisrn....erw.---...u...4-.., toss-quesuonianuthe state of
facts was submitted to the law *Aeon of the Crown, and
they were asked whether the buildings existing or con-
structed at St. Pierre were any infringement of the treaty
with Franco. Their reply was that they did not consider
anything had been done which was an infringement of that
treaty. The question was again submitted to the law otti•
eers last year, and their opinion confirmed that of the law
officers in 1856. Wo have not heard anything which tends
to show that there has been any new building, or anything
different from what there was in 1856. Now, in answer to
the hon. and learned gentleman the member for the Uni-
versity of Dublin (Mr. Whiteside), we are continually ap-
pealing to the Government of Spain with a view to obtain
permission to the British residents to have worship in their
houses, and the repeal of some of the intolerable provision.
of the Spanish law. The penal law of Spain declares that
a person who shall celebrate Divine worship other than ac-
cording to the Catholic religion shall be subjected to ban-
ishment ; and there are some other provisions of a similar
character. But besides all these provisions, it seems 'to be
either the established practice, or perhaps the established
law, of Spain that thiS law shall be put in force by the
clergy by their calling in the civil force when there is any
infringement of the law. There was a case some
time ago of a child, born of British parents, which was
baptised by the medical attendant, who was a Roman Ca-
tholic. The child was buried in the Protestant cemetery,
and the priest called upon the alcalde of the phase to have
the child disinterred, and reinterred in the Roman Catholic
centetery. Mr. Buchanan exertei himself very strenu-
ously in the matter, and at last prevented this being done.
It is not the fact that Mr. Buchanan is at all indifferent to,
or neglectful of, these questions. But to attempt to change
the law on this subject is quite hopeless. The law is very
bigoted, the Government is very bigoted, and the people are
still more bigoted than either. But the Government and
the civil authorities have no objection by way of indulgence
of allowing, on the representations of foreign Ministers, in
certain cases worship to take place in private houses; And
with regard to the education of the children, if there
were
several of them, I suppose there would ha some indulgence
in that respect. My hon. friend the member for Bridge-
water has asked for the answer to the despatch from Lord
Bloomfield of the 3d of March with regard to Savoy. Now,
that is a despatch containing an account of the conversa-
tion between Baron Schleinitz and the Minister of Foreign
Affairs in Prussia and the French Minister, and therefore
it does not call for an-tamer from me. We have continual
intercourse with the Government of Prussia, and more than
once I have had conversation with Count Bernstorf4 the
Minister of Prussia in this country, and we entirely agree in
our views as to this annexation. (Hear.) Ido not know that
I can say more than I said both in July last and January of
the present year, but we continually express—as the hon.
gentleman will see is the papers to which he alludes—we
have continually expressed both at Berlin and atrienna, and
also at St.retersburg, ourobjections to the annexation of Sa-
voy, leaving them to take the part they should think eight-On
the question. I cannot say that I have heard frail Vienna
any satisfactory account of any steps which the Austrian
Government will take on this subject. There are reasons
which every member of this house will imagine why the Go-
vernment of Austria should not be particularly zealous that
there should be no portion of the dominions of the King of
Sardinia, seeing that both in Lombardy and in Tuseanyshe
has lost dominions which belonged to her or to members of
her house. However, it is now a month ago since I made
representations at Vienna, and afterwards I made represen-
tations at St. Petersburg, and it certainly disappoint-

very extraordivary and unnecessary declaration. We know
very we
11 that there are countries—there have been coun-
tries lately which have felt themselves so oppressed by their
Governments that they wished to sever the connection. But
we never heard that in Savoy there Was any such feeling.
There has been no indication till lately that the people of
Savoy wished to sever their connection with Sardinia ; and
itis therefore a singular, and I,should say an unprecedented
thing, for a Sovereign to say—" These subjects of mine are
much attached to me ; I value them very much. At the
same time, if they wish to sever their allegiance and belong
to another country, I have no objection to their doing so."
It certainly looks as if the King of Sardinia was not unwill-
ing to part with Savoy. I must say that our position has
been a good deal influenced by this. If the Powers of •
Europe decline to interfere—if they feel no great interest as
this subject—if Prussia and Groat Britain are the only Euro-
pean Powers that feel a great interest in it, and if the King
of Sardinia is apparently willing to yield this territo,ry,
it certainly has become a very difficult matter to oppose the
annexation. (Hear, hear.) But there is another r 4int
which I am now going to state to the house; because, after
the questions that were asked of me by a noble lord nt t now
