HOUSE OF COMMONS.----(lEsnatur.)
THE COMMERCIAL TREATY.----SAVOY

AND NICE.

Lord.PA.LMERSTON—Trise, sir, to make the Motion

vif which I gave notice,—That the other orders of the der
be postponed till after the motion for en address to her Ma-
-1 jesty on the treaty with France; and I take this opportu
nity of making an appeal to my hen. friend the member for
Sunde.iland, who bas .given notice of au addition to the in-
tended address. That addition relates to the differential
duties on shipping—a matter that may very fairly be
brOught under the consideration of this house. But it
would, I think, be undesirable 1,1 insert it in an address ap-
proving the treaty, which does not touch the question of
those duties. And if my hon. friend would be kind enough
to separate the two subjects, and take the discussion on his
proposal on another day, I undertake on the part of the
Government to assist him in obtaining an opportunity of
bringing it on before Easter ; which I suppose will be suffi-
cient for his purpose. I therefore now move the postpone-
ment of the other orders.

Mr. LINDSAY could not answer the noble lord's appeal
until he had himself; in turn, made an appeal to the hon.
member for Middlesex (Mr. Byng.) That hon. gentleman
had given notice of motion for an address respecting the
treaty with France' but the terms of that address were not
before the house. (Hear, hear, from the Opposition.) It
was usual on so important a matter that the house should
be in possession of the words of the address at least one
clear day before they were called upon to discuss it. (Hear,
hear.) The terms of the address itself not being before the
house, of course the terms of his own proposed addition to
it were not before the house either. They, could therefore
have no opportunity of judging whether the words he pro-
posed to add were consistent with the address, and should
be discussed in conjunction with it, or whether they should
form the subject of a separa'e and substantive motion. He
thought the words which he wished to add ought to be dis-
cussed at the same time as the 'address to her 'Majesty.
—(hear, hear, from the Oppposition)—hecause the noble
lord forgot that the 3d article of the treaty distinctly re-
ferred to British shipping, specifying that the diff.rential
dutiei levied by France against the shipping of England en-
tering her ports were in nowise to Le altered. (Hear, hear.)
If therefore he trim whether or not they were to defer the
discussion of the address until its terms were regularly be-
fore the house he would be better able to respond to the
noble lord's appeal. (Hear, hear.)

Mr. KINGLAKE rose to state very briefly the grounds
on which he intended to oppose the motion of the noble
viscount. At an unusually late hour for notices of motion
on Friday night—(Hear, hear, from the Opposition)—and
after a vary extraordinary speech from the hon. member fOr
Birmingham, the noble viscount at the head of the Govern
meat gave notice of this present motion, and requested, as
it seemed, the hon. member for Middlesex to give notice of
the address the discussion of which they were now called,
upon to accelerate by that motion. The very preamble of
the treaty which they were asked to sanction began by de-
daring that it was the object of the high contracting parties
to draw closer the tics of frielship which united the two
peoples. Now, they would be trifling with that great sub-
4ect and taking part in the emptiest of all imaginable forms
if they consented to enter on the questio i presented to their
attention without having a far more accurate knowledge
than they now had t,f the rola ions really subsisting be-
tween this country and France. (Hear, hear, from the Op-
position.) As lately as Tuesday last the noble lord who Was
the constitutional exponent of the views and opinions of her
Majesty's Government on foreign affairs stated in that house
with a frankness which was characteristic of him, that if
the proposed annexation of Savoy and Nice should unfortu-
nately be persisted in the Emperor of the French would
expose himself to the distrust sal hostility of Earope.
(Hear, hear.) On the day when the noble lord made that
statement he had himself been pr•ssed to postpone his
motion, tat ha had persevered in going on with it because
he knew that in this matter time was vital. (Hear, hear.)
And it so happened that within -JO hours of the moment at
which the noble lord the Foreign Secretary made that
statement the Emperor of the Punch pronounced a speech
from the throne, which seemed, as far as he could under,.
stand its somewhat ambiguous phraseology to place the great
empire of France in a position of something like antagonism
to this country. (Hear, hear.) One portion of the nor-
m's speech was, he thought, perfectly unexceptionable iu
its tone and language; and if he could only bring himself
to believe that that part of the. speech represented the real
views of his Majesty he would not now be endeavouring to
postpone the hon. member for Middlesex's motion. The
Emperor said :

" This reassertion of a claim to a territory of small extent
has nothing in it of a nature to alarm Europe and give a
denial to the policy of disinterestedness which I have pro-
claimed more than once, for France does not wish to pro-
ceed to this aggrandisement, however small it may be, either
by military occupation or by provoked insurrection, or by
underhand manoeuvres, but by frankly explaining the ques •
tion to the Great Powers."
