within her own dominions. he was determined to give no
material assistance to Sardinia, commenced the war, and
from that moment, whatever the provocation she received,
she precluded herself from calling on Europe to maintain her
territorial rights as fixed by the treaties of 1815. But, if any
Power will suffer more than another, more even than France,
and incur an indelible disgrace by giving up Savoy, that
Power is Sardinia. (Hear, hear.) She claimed to be the
champion and vindicator of the liberty of Italy ; she always
declared she looked forward to no territorial aggrandise-
ment as a consequence of war. The noble earl (Granville)
has admitted that previous to the war there was some ne-
gotiation between France and Sardinia on the subject of a
possible annexation of Savoy on certain conditions or con-
tingencies. Now, if such negotiations ever did take place,
I confess it is difficult to give credit to the declaration that
Sardinia engaged in the war without any previous idea of
an increase of territory. You are aware, my lords, that by
a special treaty—the treaty of Turin—to the provisions of
which, I believe, the assent of the other Powers of Europe
was obtained, Switzerland and Piedmont reciprocally bound
themselves under no circumstances and upon no conditions
to cede to any other Power the territory in question, and
Piedmont, having accepted that territory, not simply by
way of exchange or with the object of promoting the peace
of Europe, but by way of affording mutual security as be-
tween Switzerland and herself, would, in my opinion, be
guilty not only of an interference with the general law of
Europe, but of a violation of a clear and well-defined con-
tract if she were to make over to another State
that province, the maintenance of whose indepen-
dence and neutrality is the very key-stone of
tho treaty to which I allude. (Hear, hear.) I am
not, however, prepared to attribute to Sardinia conduct at
once so discreditable and inconsistent with the professions
she has made. I trust, on the contrary, that she will have
the firmness to say to France—" This is a question with
respect to which I am unable to comply with your wishes.
I am bound not alone by the general law of Europe and the
' treaties of 1815, but by a specific engagement into which I
have entered with Switzerland, never to yield up to a third
Power this particular territory." Could France, my lords,
in opposition to such a plea as that, by force and without
the consent of Piedmont, take possession of Savoy ? (Hear.)
If she did seize upon that province must it not be either by
resorting to an act of the most unscrupulous violence—an
act of which I am far from suspecting she would be guilty,
or as the result of the base and unprincipled connivance of
the King of Sardinia, who would thus be despoiling his
dominions of that portion of them which furnishes his best
troops to his army and the most loyal and attached subjects
to his throne? (Cheers.) I donot, indeed, think my lords
that the question is one in dealing with which it becomes
his country to use the language of menace. I am never-
theless of opinion that it does befit England, as one of the
great Powers of Europe, and by the free expression of the
sentiments of this, the highest assembly of a free nation, to
have it placed upon record that the unanimous verdictof the
members of that assembly is, that such conduct on the part
of France as I have described would be inconsistent with
the duo maintenance of the treaties of 1815—(cheers)—
that they deem it important, even in the interests of France
herself, that she should do nothing to shake that confidence
which it is so desirable should be established throughout
Europe and without the establishment of which
no good security for the permanent peace of the
Continent can be afforded. (Hear, hear.) It is not,
my lords, the armed force of France, great as that un-
doubtedly is—it is not the important fact that the great re-
sources of that great country are wielded by one absolute
and despotic authority—it is not those combined circim-
stances which create apprehension. No, it is this which
causes alarm—that sho has never yet been able to succeed
in inspiring Europe with perfect confidence in the steadi-
ness of her policy, or in the pacific character of her inten-
tions. (Hoar, hoar.) Let her, then, show but the slightest
desire to annex to her own a territory, small in extent but
great in strategic importance—(hear, hear)—let her but ex-
hibit the smallest indication, now that she has so far suc-
ceeded in expelling Austrian influence from Italy, to per-
petuate her own domination in that country by means of
large standing armies—maintained I know not for what
purpose—and I speak not now of the French garrison at
Rome—let her, in short, but evince the most trifling dispo-
sition to transfer to herself the authority which Sardinia at
present possesses over Savoy, thus securing for herself a
passage into Italy, and obtaining a resting-place whence
her armies may overrun the territories of an ally whose do-
minions she has been the means of aggrandising, butunder
such circumstances of aggrandising, I would say, to the
danger of that ally—let France, I repeat, my lords, but pur-
sue such a course of policy as that, and, then, indeed, that
confidence which is a plant of slow growth, especially among
nations, can hardly be expected to be re-established between
the powerfal French empire and the rest of Europe, which
is looking on and watching her movements, in an attitude of
anxious and suspicious hostility. (Cheers.) I must, at the
same time, observe, my lords, that a great opportunity is
now afforded to the Emperor of the French to maintain un-
impaired his character for scrupulous adherence to the
principles of good faith. (Hear, hear.) Let him, then, de-
clare that he concurs with her Majesty's Government
in the view which they take of the evils which would be
likely to flow from any infraction of those territorial limits
which have been so long established, and that he desires
the maintenance of the balance of power and the peace of
Europe. (Hear) Let him prove to the world that he went
to war—as he declared it to be his intention to das—for the
liberation of Italy from foreign control, and not with the
view to wield himself that power the exercise of which he
condemned in another ; let him show that he respects Eng-
land, and that right of self-government and independent
action which we freely recognised in the case of that mighty
empire over which he reigns by the choice of its people:;
let him make it plain to Europe that neither upon this side
of the Rhine nor the Alps is he to be tempted by any vain
idea as to what may seem to him the natural boundaries of
France to depart from those joint principles which are far
more patent than any natural limits whatsoever—(cheers)
—let him frankly and avowedly take that course, not under
menace, for menace:no nation would venture to offer him;
but acting on the friendly representations of a country with
which it is his boast that he is on terms of close intimacy
and alliance, whose policy he declares to be identical with
his own, and with which ho does 'not hesitate to announce
that ho acts hand in hand and side by side. (Cheers.) Let
him, nay lords, I repeat, pursue that course ; let him pro-
claim to the world that no violation of the existing boun-
daries of Europe is to be apprehended at his hands, and that
he has given England the most solemn assurance that, in
common with her, he will proceed upon the principle of ab-
solute and entire non-interference with the affairs of other
countries. (Hear, hear.) If he so acts, then indeed, my
lords, will he have nobly availed himself of the opportunity
which is now presented to him of reaping that best and
most priceless fruit of the victories which he has won—the
establishment over the minds of his fellow men of that
moral authority which, unlike his great military power, is
only to be attained by the observance of good faith, by scru-
pulous integrity, and by a strict adherence to tho principles
of justice and the rights of nations. (Loud cheers.)
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, in offering an explana-
tion as to the policy which he had in the course of his
speech contended that this country and Sardinia ought to
pursue in reference to the question under the notice of the
house, expressed his regret that he should have used the
word " physical," to which the noble duke opposite (the
Duke of Newcastle) had alluded.
Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE said the re-
marks which had just fallen from the noble earl (the Earl
of Derby), who had spoken in ferms so eloquent on the im-
portant subject under discussion, rendered him desirous to
address a few observations with respect to it to the house.
The noble earl, had stated that every noble lord who had
taken part in the discussion had in reality given expression
to the same sentiments, modified although those sentiments
might be by the form in which they were conveyed. It had
so happened, however, that, with the exception of the
noble marquis by whom the debate had been opened, no
noble lord practically connected with the diplomatic service
had ventured to address the house upon a question which
in so eminent a degree came within the sphere of thattlepart-
ment. As one therefore, who had some experience in diplo-
matic affairs, he might perhaps be permitted to lay before
their lordships very briefly the views with respect to the
present motion which he entertained. He should, then,
in the first place, observe that he entirely concurred with
the noble earl opposite (Lord Derby) in the opinion that
it was for the interest of Europe at large that we should
enter our protest against the addition of Savoy to the
territories of the French Emperor, for it was impossible
with justice to say that France by obtaining possession
of that province and Nice would not be furnished with ad-
ditional power of extending her influence over Italy; and
although it might be said that England had no special
interest in the latter country beyond that which related
to her commerce, yet it was of the utmost import-
ance that foreign influence should not be employed
there in a manner prejudicial to us, especially if that
influence were to proceed from a quarter which
afforded indication of a readiness to pursue a policy unfa-
vourable to this country—a policy on which he hoped the
present Emperor of the French would never act, although
it must be borne in mind that such had been the traditional
policy of the French nation from the earliest times. With
regard to the territorial transfer now said to be contem-
plated, in proportion as it might be inexpedient to hazard
the peace of this country and of Europe by our opposition
to that transfer, so it was incumbent on Parliament at the
proper time to express its opinions on the subject, and thus
afford to the Government a support which would enable
them when the time came to act up to their declarations.
These declarations, though not quite so strong and so em-
phatic as had just been heard from other parts of the house,
made it evident that the Government perceived the danger
to which this annexation might lead, and felt themselves
bound to take whatever measures cou ti. in prudence be sug-
gested to prevent it. It could not be denied, that in addi-
tion to the increased influence which would accrue to her in
Italy, France would derive from the acquisition of Savoy
superior to those which we
hanadd INatieelnyalidele.anntaacgceussehdnionfitanliyining at. What importance,
for example, was attached by soma of our neighbours to
that miserable island at the entrance of the Red Sea, and
• what irritation had been produced by our supposed desire
of acquiring it ; The possession of Perim was, indeed, of
little importance as compared with the possession of Savoy
and Nice ; but even those considerations, important as they
were, became comparatively trivial by the side of the ques-
tions of general policy which had just been so eloquently
commented upon by the noble earl (of Derby). It was in
this point of view that the strange and pernicious principles
which had Lictely been put forward across the Channel were
chiefly to be regarded. We had certainly no right to at-
tribute these principles to the constituted authorities of
France ; yet they bore about them some marks of recogni-
tion by tlio authorities, and could not, therefore, be di-
vested of importance. When their lordships remembered
these things, he could not help thinking that the mo-
tions of the noble marquis and the discussion which it
had evoked were such as to inspire the strongest feelings
of satisfaction ; and he must therefore, add hisicstitutuy to
that of others as to the service rendered by the noble mar-
quis to this house and to the country by bringing the ques-
tion forward. (Hear.) In the debate which had taken
place lie had hoard nothing inconsistent with the language
which a great assembly tiles this was entitled and was, in-
deed, bound to use. (Hear.) It seemed to him that just in

were placed before the Emperor in language firm, and at
the same time amicable, it would be calculated to produce
considerable effect. (Hear, hear.) Because, it must
surely be the interest of the Emperor to attend to our 7-
monstrances. What, let me ask, can France

noble friend has already adverted to the commercial treaty
recently signed between this country and France. We are
told that the Emperor of the French is about to adopt a
liberal commercial policy, in which the treaty is the first
step'. But can a liberal commercial policy produce its pro-
per fruits unless there is that confidence in the continuance
of peace which is the very breath of life to trade and indus-
try ? And how can that confidence in the permanence of
peace exist for a day in Europe if the annexation of Savoy
to France is to be carried into effect, in a manner, and upon
principles which hold out to all Europe the prospect of fur-
ther and indefinite changes that cannot possibly be accom-
plished without provoking all the horrors of war ? (Hear,
hear.) I say that this annexation would produce a shock
to confidence, which in France and in Europe would be felt
by trade and industry for years to come. Has not the
Emperor a deep interest in abstaining from this project ?
We all know that statements have been made in the news-
papers that this annexation is only the execution of a design
long entertained though studiously concealed. We know
also that it has been asserted—l trust falsely—that this
would be merely the carrying into effect of a secret stipula-
tion entered into between Sardinia and France some con-
siderable time before the breaking out of the late war, by
which Sardinia was to he put in possession of a great in-
crease of territory in Italy, and, in return for it, France
was to obtain Savoy and Nice. Now, my lords, if that
were true—and I trust most sincerely that it is not—it
would be impossible to find terms sufficiently strong to
describe the iniquity and the immorality of the two
parties coucerned. (Hear, hear.) When we remember
the language that was used by France before the breaking
out of the war—the solemn protestations of her desire,
up to the last moment, to preserve peace, her asseve-
rations, even after the war had made some progress, that
she had no selfish object in view, and had no intention of
pronioting her territorial aggrandisement, can we believe
that all these assertions were made while at the same time
there existed a private stipulation for dividing the prey,
entered into before the quarrel took place and before the
booty could be obtained ? (Hear, hear.) If such a com-
pact were entered into between France and Sardinia, I
say it would be difficult to find in the annals of the world
a case of more flagrant iniquity. (Hear, hear.) I hope
these things arc not true. They have seemed to me so bad
that I have tried as much as possible to reject them. I still
do so, but I cannot deny that those who affirm them appeal
to the strongest circumstantial evidence in favour of their
assertions. (Hear, hear.) I hope that, in spite of appear-
ances, the fact is not as stated ; but if, in addition to the
circumstantial evidence we have had, should this design of
joining Savoy to France be carried into effect, it will be
impossible, however anxious we may be to do so, longer to
retain our incredulity. (Hear, hear.) If the Emperor of
the French has a due regard to his own honour and
character, he will be gratefu if this country should come
forward in a calm and friendly spirit to urge him to
abstain from that, which I cannot find language
to describe but as a crime against the civilised
world. (Hear, hear.) I have taken the first
opportunity that presented itself to press upon my noble
friends on the Government bench my sense of the great im-
portance of this question. I have dune so from no invidious
or hostile feeling towards them in relation to their conduct
in this matter ; but when I say so I think it is the more im-
portant to notice what I must call an omission of my noble
friend. It must have struck all your lordships who take a
view similar to my own as to the importance of this ques-
tion of the proposed annexation, that the language of my
noble friend and that of the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, as reported to have been used by him in another
place, have been singularly mild, to say the least, consider-
ing the gravity of the subject. (Hear, hear.) I think it is
specially important that her Majesty's Government should
at this moment give cordial expression to what I believe
are the opinions of every Engh..shnian on this subject. My
noble friend adverted to the comeuercialtreaty with France.
Now, I think that before that teeaty was signed—before
her Majesty's Government consented to give to the Govern-
ment of France so signal a mark or thir friendship and
goodwill—they ought to have required from the French
Emperor in some authentic and formal ;Amp° a distinct dis-
avowal of his entertaining any such designs with regard to
Savoy as have been imputed to him. (Heal'..) I deeply re-
gret that the treaty was signed without hav:eag, some such
disavowal as that ; but then the omission makes it the more
important that we should now take some measures to obtain
it ; and, if in accordance with the unanimous vote of this
house, and I hope of the other house of Parliament also,
her Majesty's Government should even now ask for such a
disavowal, I am persuaded that it will not be withheld.
(Hear, hear.) I do not ask your lordships to agree to the
motion if my noble friend opposes it, but I hope that my
noble friend himself will see the propriety of adopting it.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said he should not have
taken any part in this discussion if it were not that he enter-
tained the deep and anxious feeling which was evinced by
the whole people of this country for the progress of Italian
liberty, and hoped that it might be marked with all force by
everything honourable, true, and great, by all the parties
concerned on both sides. Ho feared that if this matter were
allowed to reach a consummation they would see it mixed
up with other things pregnant with mischief to Europe, and
placing a deep and indelible stain on the Emperor of the
French and the of Sardinia. Though not yet con-
summated it was still under contemplation, and there was
yet time *br that house, and the other house of Parliament,
and the whole people of England, to declare their unani-
mous and decided opinion upon the subject, and to say that
the project should never have their approbation. (Hear.)
The French Government was now endeavouring to put the
matter iff, and the Sardinian Government was offering it
assistance with the same view, and adducing as many argu-
ments as it could to prevent the completion of the scheme,
and therefore now was the time for them to declare their
opinion, and do what they could in order to get justice for
the weaker one in this great contest. He was anxious to
maintain an alliance with France ; but if the Emperor per-
sisted in his demand for the annexation of Savoy, how could
he make good the words he uttered at Milan ?—(hear, hear)
--words by which he endeavoured to conciliate the feelings
and affections of Europe, and which he agreed with his
noble friend (Earl Granville) were some of the noblest words
that ever fell from the lips of man. Now, in opposition to
the declaration that France went to war fOr an idea, there
was this idea of annexation of territory. (Hear, hear.)
Thus the interests and rights of nations were merged into
dynastic interests. Nur would Sardinia come out unscathed
from the affair unless she arrested the attempt to the full
extent of her moral power, and he would not hesitate to say
her physical power also. That she should do, rather than
submit to the degradation. Even Italy herself wouldshare
some measure of blame, because if the design succeeded '
she would be ground down between the parties and deprived
of her liberties. The elements of mischief in this matter
were most abundant. 'Were they to have French influence
substituted for Austrian influence in Italy ? It would cer-
tainly be exercised in a inure careful, delicate, and astute
manner; and no doubt the policy of France would be more
artful, but the domination would be the Eallle, and the inde-
pendence of Italy would be placed in equal jeopardy. Was
it so then that the frontier of Franco was to be advanced and
brought even in contact with the repu!slic of Geneva ? Did
this' scheme not affect the independence of Switzerland V
(Hear, hear.) Were they to believe that the acquisition of
Savoy and Nice and the beautiful port of Villafeanca formed
only a part of that desien which would turn the Mediter-
ranean into a French lake? (Hear, hear.) Their simul-
taneously with the contemplated annexation came the re-
vival of that wild scheme—the Suez Canal. That might be
eumenercially and scientifically the most absurd thing ever
propounded, and so it was; but politically it was very dif-
ferent. There would be a French settlement established
there,
and one inure French port added on that side of the
Mediterranean. They had heard much about natural boun- '
daries, and been told that Savoy was claimed because it be-
longed as a right to France ; but

Europe had been subjected to onepofptleieogrossest humbugs
which had ever been perpetrated on the credulity of man-

lordships that it was very possible for great personages

(Hear, hear, and laughter.) But there was another meeting
at Chlimbery, at which a diametrically opposite opinio
was expressed ; and who was to decide between the two ?
Then came the assertions in the most daring part of the
French press, that although the King of Sardinia was the
rightful ruler of Savoy, he had yet no right to employ
means to maintain his own and his people's rights. If
the principle that conterminous nations, speaking the
same language, were to be annexed to France, provided
they showed sympathy for her, were to prevail, let them
look to the consequences which might flow from its adop-
tion. No one who had lately travelled in Geneva could have
any doubt that an agency was now at work there, by which
an expression of sympathy for France could be readily ob-
tained; and if that principle was good, let them consider
how easily the whole system of Europe might be broken up.
Germany might claim from Russia the Baltic ports; and
Russia, which it was well known was not reluctant to put
such sympathies in motion, might claim from Austria some
conterminous provinces. Everything infect would be broken
up and in confusion, and all to gratify the ambitious policy
of one man, who thought that h had a new scheme to pro-
pound. But another inducement was held out by the French
Government to Sardinia to consent to the proposition. It
appeared that the French Government were to surrender to
Sardinia a part of Switzerland, and that Sardinia was to
give her Savoy ; and this was to be done without the con-
sent of the people. Was such a proposition to be maintained
at the present day—was it not a revival of that principle
which led to that partition of Poland under which she was
now writhing ? If annexation took place at all, which God
forbid ! then let Savoy be annexed to Switzerland, who had
the deepest interest in the peace of Europe and the liberty
of
all nations. (Hear.) Ile would protest to the last hour of

Chancery.
Mr. JAMES said his reason for taking the rather un-
usual course of resisting the introduction of the bill was that
the matter had been fully discussed and decided in the last
cession of Parliament. The Divorce Court Bill came down
with a clause introduced by the Lord Chancellor, with the
object of accomplishing that which was proposed by the
present measure. It was supported to some extent by the
Attorney-General ; but the feeling of the house had so
strongly manifested itself against closing the doors of this
court that the clause was rejected without a division.
After this express decision, he believed the house would
now declare its opinion that the present bill was inexpe-
dient and unnecessary. He imputed ne motives whatever
to the noble lord ; he believed that he was actuated alone
by the sincere desire of suppressing what he considered in-
decent reports of the proceedings in that court ; but he
hoped to show the house in a few sentences that such
a course would be highly injudicious. The noble lord
had referred to the practice of the Ecclesiastical Courts and
the Court of Chancery; but if ever the Court of Divorce—
which as at present administered enjoyed the sanction and
confidence of the public (hear, hear)—were to have the
same opinion entertained with regard to itwhich had existed
of the other Courts to which reference had been made, it
would soon fall into utter contempt. The Lord Chancellor,
it was true, equally with the Judge of the Divorce Court,
had power, with the consent of counsel acting for both
parties, to retire into a private roofs and hear the case, if he
thought proper to do so ; but he entertained great doubt
whether the Lord Chancellor could close the court against
the public—(hear, hear)—and he believed that if a case of
trespass were brought by any peraon who had been excluded,
it would be established by the constituted authorities that
the Court of Chancery was a public court, and the Lord
Chancellor hat no right to close it. (Hear, hear.) Why,
if it were known that a sort of mysterious Court was sitting
at Westminster-hall, whose avenues were unapproachable
to the public, 'and that cases were going on there which
might not be reported, a prurient curiosity would at once
be engendered, and they would have all sorts of erroneous
reports furnished either by reporters in wigs and gowns or
by attorneys or their clerks ; and a morbid desire to procure
them would be evidenced on the part of the public. Was the
noble lord, who had cited no instance which had occurred
since last session in support of his argument, prepared to
extend the principle of his bill to the police courts, and other
courts of criminal jurisdiction in this country ? Yet a charge
of perjury had arisen out of proceedings in a suit before the
Divorce Court, Which it became requisite to try before one
of the criminal tribunals, and the details of which occu-
pied day after day the. columns of the public journals.
(Hear.) The better course, he believed, was to repose
confidence in the taste and good sense or the press—
(hoar, hear)—which, since the decision in August, had
not abused the power of publishing cases from that court.
Hon. members who had acted as counsel in cases of this
nature would bear him out in the statement that no details
of a filthy or disgusting character had been given to the
public. (Hear, hear.) The debates in that house were at
one period forbidden to be published ; and Dr. Johnson
told the translator of " Demosthenes" that he got from the
door-keepers and uniformly published imaginary debates;
and that lie a'ways took care that " those dogs in wigs"
got the worst of it. (Laughter.) Thu noble lord was of
opinion that by the reports which appeared from the
Diverse Court a public scandal was ocusioned ; but he
considered that a vital principle was at stake in the matter,
and that although the maxim might be trite it was still as
true as when Bentham wrote it, that publicity was vital to
the administration of English justice, and to the confidence
which the people of England reposed in it. (Hear, hear.)
The hon. and learned member concluded by moving, as an
amendment, the previous question.

of modesty were wonderfully offended by the naked legs of
her pianoforte. (" Hear," and a laugh.) If the noble lord
had taken into account the end which was sought to be at-
tained by the Divorce Court, he would, he thought, have
arrived at a different conclusion. That court had been
created for a mixed object; it affected not merely private
rights and obligations, but also public obligations. It not
only determined whether a man should be divorced from
his wife, but it went further, and declared why he should be
divorced, and by that means it affected public morality.
(Hear, hear.) If the court was shut up, one of these great
means of influencing the public would be utterly taken away.
Ho was aware that the 'English notion of morality was
confined to picking a pocket and seducing another man's
wife. But there were other things which he read daily in
the papers by which ho was much more affected. He con-
stantly saw in the reports of the Police Courts that men
woe brought up for thrashing their wives, almost beating
out their eyes and nearly taking away their lives. These
things went on from day to day, and disgraced the people of
England in the eyes of Europe and of the world. (Hear,
hear.) Another great object which had been effected by
the publicity of proceedings in the Divorce Court was the
dispelling of the idea that immoral practices were confined
to the upper and lowest classes of society ; and it had been
shown that among the middle class what was particularly
recognised by Englishmen as immorality was as rife as in
any other—(hear, hear)— and he thought this a very great
benefit—(laughter)—he hated shams, and he believed the
morality of the middle class to be as great a sham as had
ever existed. There ought, then, to be a degree of healthy
hardihood in a man's character which would enable him to
bear this exposure. The noble lord had stated that it was
impossible to put a newspaper into the hands of sine's
wife or daughter. This statement he denied altogether ;
and he maintained that nothing had been more creditable
than the conduct of the public press on this question. They
had the most filthy details before them--aye, and from the
middle class too, and they had not shocked any decent man's
or woman's mind by what they had disclosed. But let the
truth be told ; was it right that the middle class should
continue to appear as models of angelic purity, when they
were as earthly and immoral as any other class ? (Hear,
hear.) The noble lord stated that the judges of the crimi-
nal courts had the power of shutting out women and chil-
dren. Yes ; but how was it done ? In a criminal case, the
judge has the depositions before him, and knows what is
going to be proved is of a character that women and children
had better not hear. The Judge of the Divorce Court could
not do this ; and as a judge would act only on his indivi-
dual caprice, he would ask the house whether it could ex-
pect from a court of justice the advantages it was intended

Even now, with the control of the press, he could put his
finger on judges whose jokes did no honour to an English
court of justice. (Hear, hear.) One groat use of a court of
justice is to serve as a guide to the morality of the people._
If the proceedings were secret, they would seem to be a
thousand times worse than anything the public was likely
to read. The motion of the noble lord, therefore, though
made with the best possible intentions—hell was paved with

of Divorce for exceptional legislation. On what ground

Lord BROUGHAM.—I wish to make the few observa-
tions which I have to offer to your lordships before the
noble earl near me (Earl Derby) rises to address you, be-
cause of the part I have always taken in all questions relat-
ing to Italy. In the first place, allow me to say I entirely
approve of, and was very much gratified by the statement
of the noble earl the President of the Council. I entirely
object, as my noble friend does, to what is called tho an-
nexation of Savoy and Nice to the French empire—(hear,
hear)—and upon the grounds stated by my noble friend.
Not, indeed, as has been justly observed by the noble earl
opposite (Grey), on account of the comparatively trifling
addition, either territorial or strategical, which such
annexation would give to the French empire, but be-
cause it would be a departure from the settlement of
Europe. (Hear, hear.) There are consequences
which might flow from such an act which, without any un-
reasonable alarm, every man ought to consider. If
this annexation should take place after all the declarations
made by the French Government of the abstinence which
was to be its guiding principle in the Italian war, where is
it to stop ? Where is what is called the principle of na-
tionality, the principle of boundaries, to stop? What will
become of the boundary of the Rhine? (Hear, hear.) I
need not go further, but is there any security, if this anne-
xation should take place, against any further alteration or
distribution of power in Germany as well as on the Rhine.
(Hear, hear.) But we are all of the same opinion here, and
we only differ as to our mode of :dealing with this motion.
I certainly do agree with my noble friend (the Earl of
Shaftesbury) in one principle he enunciated. I regret the
language he used, the terms he used towards Sardinia, not
of vituperation, but of encouragement to go to war in order
to prevent the annexation. I agree, however, with the
noble earl that there can be nothing more atrocious than
the handing over one country and its people to another; or,
as he says, handing over a people enjoying free institutions
to a country deprived of all such institutions. The most
atrocious act of modern times was the partition, of Poland.
But Igo still further. I object to handing over one country
to another even if not against the wishes of its inhabitants.
While I admit that nothing can be more plain than the
principle we laid down on the first night of the session—
that the Italians should be allowed to manage their own af-
fairs and to settle their own government without any foreign
interference, still, it must be remembered that interference is
not confined to intervention by force of arms, it may be by
negotiation. I agree that the people of those States which
Ihave changed their rulers should be permitted to make their
arrangements for their future government. But the prin-
ciple of non-intervention stops when a people, even if
unanimously desirous to change,—and in the present in-
stance some declare the Savoyards desire the annexation to
France, while others say they oppose it—if that change
gives the other nations of Europe reason to apprehend an
alteration of the balance of power. This is perfectly con-
sistent with the great principle of allowing the indepen-
dence of Italy, and all freedom in the arrangement of their
own internal affairs without foreign interference. Now,
however, to come to the motion before us. The opinion of
this house is against the annexation, but if the Govern-
ment object to the motion I should deprecate a dis
because, even if it were carried, it might appear that there
was a difference of opinion upon the main question. Then
suppose the motion of my noble friend is carried unani-
mously. I concur with the noble duke opposite (Newcas-
tle) that this also would be:inauspicious, that it would tend
very much to obstruct the friendly communications and
shake the friendly feeling between this country and France.
And if it is rejected it might go forth that the adversaries
of the Government of the Emperor had been defeated. In
any case the motion is calculated to disturb the good un-
derstanding between the two countries, and interfere with
arrangements that are most important to the prospects of
peace, and I therefore advise the noble marquis not to press
that motion to a division.
The Earl of DERBY said—l do not rise for the purpose of
continuing to any length the present debate, or rather what
has been not so much a debate as a conversation of the ut-
most importance. With regard to the main principle in-
volved in the motion of the noble marquis, there has not
been, so far as I have observed, the slightest difference of
opinion expressed by any one member of this house. Un-
doubtedly, various noble lords have expressed with more or
less force the views they entertain of the supposed policy
or scheme for the annexation of Savoy to France. The
noble earl (Shaftesbury), who always speaks with consider-
able power, in alluding to this annexation, appeared to
think that the measure has been finally determined en. The
noble duke who has just sat down intimates that the policy i
of annexation is still undecided ; and I felt some disappoint-
ment that in the address of the noble earl the President of
the Council, while he described the advice—the undoubtedly
friendly advice—her Majesty's Government has tendered to
the U overnment of France, he did not add that the advice
so tendered has been finally and conclusively satisfactory,
and that there is no reason for apprehending that the project,
so fraught with evil and mischief to all concerned in it, is
likely to be carried into effect. The noble earl has pointed
out very forcibly the dangerous state of the affairs of Italy,
and the dangerous consequences of substituting French for
Italian influence in the northern provinces, especially if the
power of France is increased by the cession to it'of •the
province of Sa*oy—a measure that will leave open to France
the gate of Italy. When the late Government was usins, its
utmost endeavours to persuade the several Powers not to
enter into that unhappy war, it especially painted out the
consequences that Sardinia and Savoy would have to*aPr -
bend from the outbreak of hostilities. These .conse-
quences are now, perhaps, more clearly seen than they
were at that time ; and, however difficult it may be to effect
it, I hope that the unanimous opinion of Europe, firmly
and temperately expressed, may succeed in preventing a
measure that can only lead to interminable complications
or consequences yet more dangerous. In the course of
this debate I think there has been much said that must be
(-ratifying to her Majesty's Government. It would incur
no disadvantage from the adoption of the motion; if it is
rejected it will not be on a question of principle on the part
of the Government, or even of a difference of opinion on the
subject. If the point had been whether the ground of the
motion of the noble marquis rested on sound international
law, then the introduction of the motion might have
herin it
something dangerous, whatever is the opinion of
for
sanguine Ma-
jesty's Government, But, even making all allowance
or
sanguine language, her Majesty's Government will be
among the first to admit that the present discussion has ex-
hibiLd a strong and unanimous feeling on the part of every
member of the British House of Peers, that must be a
strong element in the preservation of the peace of Europe
and the continuance of a good understanding with that
Power whose conduct has been most strongly commented
on. My lords, it is not necessary to discuss the evils and
dangers that will arise from the annexation of Savoy to
France. They are admitted by all parties; ono noble lord
has gone beyond another in the earnestness with which ho
has pointed them out. But let me express to all concerned
toy conviction that the two parties who will suffer most in
character and honour by >melt an annexation will be the two
Powers between whom the supposed compact has boos

declaration of the Emperor

Lord J. RUSSELL said that it was necessary, in order
to satisfy the hon. member, to enter into an account of what
had already taken place with respect to the affairs of Italy.
At present I cannot produce the papers, because negotia-
' tions are still pending. What has passed is this :—The
house is aware from her 'Majesty's speech that her Majesty's
Government were invited to take part in a conference or
) congress respecting the affairs of Italy. At a certain period
) when it was expected the congress was to meet, wo received
) intimation from the French Government that it was ad-
-1 journed sine die, but that we should be informed if there was
any intention of its meeting hereafter. It was said that the
delay, or rather the entire postponement, of the congress
was owing to the publication of an anonymous pamphlet at
Paris. Be that as it may, her Majesty's Government felt
that it was a very serious thing that the Italians, who had
hitherto Leen waiting in expectation that Italian affairs
would be solved by the congress, should have no 'regular
Government and no apparent means of terminating the
condition of uncertainty in which they were placed. Her.
Majesty's Government, therefore, made propositions to the
L Governments of France and Austria, with a view to the de-
finitive solution of the Italian question. Those proposals
wore contained in a despatch to Lord Cowley, dated the
14th of January. The first progosal was that, as the rivalry
of France and Austria had led to groat evils in Italy and
great danger to Europe, those two Powers should agree not
to interfere by force in the Italian Peninsula without
the consent of the five great Powers. By the second
proposition it was proposed that the French troops should,
at a convenient time and with all proper precautions, with-
draw from Lombarday and Rome. By the third proposition
it was proposed that the Governments of Europe should
not interfere in the internal government of Venetia—that
no proposition should be made to qualify the internal go-
verninent of Venetia by the Emperor of Austria. To these
three proposals the GoViernment of France, with certain
modifications as to the time and season for withdrawing
their troops, gave their ready consent. Upon the fourth
proposition they begged time to consider, and time to tom-
municate with the Government of Austria. The fourth i
proposition was to the !effect that the King of Sardinia
should he asked not to send any troops into Central Italy
until there should be, by a now election of the States and
provinces of Central Italy, a dear and unbiassed declaration
of their wishes with respect to their future government—
that if that wish should be in favour of annexation to Sar-
dinia, then the restriction to which it was proposed to ask
the King of Sardinia to submit should be removed, and no
objection made to his introducing troops into the provinces
of Central Italy—meaning, of course, those provinces which
have declared they will no longer be governed by their late
rulers. The Freftch Government has acecordingly commu-
nicated with the Government of Austria upon that subject,
but no official communication of the decision of Austria has
yet been given. This very morning I received a despatch
saying that Count Rechberg promised to take the Emperor
of Austria's orders, but that he could not give an official
answer without receiving the Emperor's instructions
and commands. With respect to ourselves, the Austrian
Government, on receiving the communication of the three
propositions to 'which they were asked to consent, made
objection that it was not in conformity with their views
and opinions as to the rights of sovereignty to make any
absolute engagements with regard to non-intervention.

PACKET AND TELEGRAPH CONTRACTS.
Mr. LAING, in the absence of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, moved the appointment of the select committee
on packet and telegraphic contracts, and expressed his be-
lief that no opposition would be made to the motion.
Mr. SPOONER said that the hon. and gallant member
for Berkshire(Captain L. Vernon) who had given notice of
a motion upon that subject, bad postponed it in consequence
of the indisposition of the right hon. gentleman the Chan-
cell.* of the Exchequer, and he did not think it fair that
under those circumstances the present motion should be pro-
ceeded with at that moment.
Sir G. C. LE WIS said that the motion of the hon. and
gallant member for Berkshire had reference exclusively to
the inquiries of the committee of last session, and could in no
way affect the present motion.
The motion was then agreed tons follows :—That the se-

GAME FOR ADELAIDE.--We learn from the
Register that a new traffic (and which promises fair to be-
come a profitable one) has recently sprung up in Adelaide.
It seems that two spirited individuals had gone to the lehe•
of the Murray to shoot and net game. In carrying out
their object they had furnished themselves with every re•
quisite to ensure success, including, among other weapons
of destruction, a boat fitted up with six swivel guns, a Is
Colonel Hawker. The first consignment had reached.tows
in splendid condition, and consisted of black dusk, red dtiok,

[ADVERTISEMENT]. --Du BmTy's delicious Revelente
Arabica Food invariably restores health, without medicine,
inconvenience, or expense, as it saves 50 times its cost in
other remedies, and removes indigestion (dyspepsia), flatu-
lehey, constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints,
cough, asthma, consumption, and debility. We extract a
few out of 60,000 testimonials of cures, which had resisted
all medicine. Cure No. 4,208.—" Eight years' dyspepsia,
nervousness, debility, with cramps, spasms, and nausea,
have been effectually removed by Du Barry's delicious food
in a very short time.—Rev. John W. Flavin, Ridlington
Rectory, Norfolk." Cure No. 54,618, of a lady of 107 years
of age.--" Wandsbeck, near Hamburg, 12th May, 1857.--
I hereby certify that my mother-in-law, Mrs. Hobe, who
has just completed her 107th year, after having suffered ler
half a century and more from indigestion (dyspepsia), and
consequent disorders, has been perfectly cured by Barrio

almost any kind of food with great comfort.—W.
