A rather sharp debate took place last evening in
the House of Commons on Lord PALMERSTON ask-
ing the House to consider a motion for an
Address to her MAJESTY on the Treaty of
Commerce with France. Mr. LINDSAY in-
terposed because the shipping interests had
not been duly considered in the course
of the negotiations, and he wished to add a para-
graph to the Address relative to that subject. This
gave rise to much altercation, and eventually to the
motion being withdrawn on the understanding that
it would be renewed on a subsequent day, Thurs-
day, or it may be Friday. During the debate
members grew warm on the question of Savoy, some
insisting that before the House addressed her
MAJESTY they ought to know what they were doing,
for they did not consider it proper to vote an ad-
dress before they knew the value of the treaty
in all its bearings. It was even insisted
on that while this country was acting in a
generous spirit to France, the EMPEROR was
repaying our liberality by plotting against
one of our allies, by demanding Savoy in
order to aggrandise France. How, then, could
England trust the EMPEROR ? That was the ques-
tion at issue. In fact it was a question beset with
grave difficulties, and perplexing to all. Some
were for a " solemn peotest" being made to France ;
but this was considered by Lord JOHN RUSSELL
as involving us in greater difficulties—for if our
protest were disregarded, war might become inevi-
table, and so set the commercial treaty aside alto-
gether. This was the sole apprehension of our
Government, and they endeavoured most patrioti-
cally to avert it. We must do our Ministers the
justice to admit that they have, as far as matters
can be looked into from present revelations, done
their best to point out to the Emperor NAPOLEON
that his course was wrong if he persisted in his
purpose to annex Savoy. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said
—" On that question her MAJESEY'S Government
differed with the Emperor of FRANCE ; but I must
say I never for a moment concealed our opinions
upon it from the Emperor of FRANCE. I was
not wanting in telling him, frankly and plainly,
what our opinions were of that annexation,
and what were the consequences which might
follow in Europe from carrying it into prac-
tical effect. But other Powers have to take
their part. The Emperor of the FRENCH took
Iris part so far that he declared to her Majesty's
6 tovernment, both through his Ambassador and
thi 'xigli his Minister for Foreign Affairs, that he
wont
'd not proceed to that annexation without con-
suiting - the groat Powers of Europe. It might be
feared iVat
by a sudden military occupation
•
1 the capital of Savoy and the
he might seizt
passes O th,,,, Alps ; but he has declared
f
in the tee of all Europe that he will not
so proceed;. Those other Powers to which he has
We have told him
referred had ye to be conwiltcd.
