IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY).

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

OATHS ACT AMENDMENT BILL.
This bill was read a third time and passed.
Their lordships then adjourned.

Lord CAMPBELI, presented a petition from Taunton
in favour of an extension of the franchise, accompanied
by the ballot. The noble and learned lord said although he
prefered open voting, he did not think any of the dreadful
consequences that had been predicted would follow the
adoption of vote by ballot.
Earl GREY presented a petition, praying that Parlia-
ment would take into its consideration the unjust restric-
tions upon British shipping.
THE STATE OP EUROPE.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The following bills were read a third time and passed :
Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction Railway;
and Whitehaven Harbour and Town.

The Earl of CLARENDON begged to ask the noble lord
the Foreign Secretary whether it would be consistent with
his duty to give the house, and through their lordships the

country, any information with regard to the state of affairs
in Europe, and the results that might have been arrived at
by Lord Cowley's mission to Vienna ? (Hear, hear.) He
had not placed any notice of his intention to ask this ques-
tion on the paper, because he had determined to make no
remarks on this important subject until he had reason to be-
lieve that to do so would not be at all embarrassing to the
public service. Ile was sure his noble friend would not want
telling that he (Lord Clarendon) was not impelled by any
motive of mere curiosity, or that he did not wish him to
make any communication to the house that might be pre-
judicial to the great cause of peace. (Cheers.) But his
noble friend must be well aware of the deep and all-perva-
ding anxiety which existed in this country—an anxiety
which he should be sorry to see increased by any remarks
that he might make. For the space of eight months great

loss and injury had been sustained in business transactions
by the state of public affairs, insomuch that there were many
people who would almost prefer to know the worst truth,
than to continue in the present uncertainty. (Hear, hear.)
Commercie.l men could not pursue their avocations while
affairs remained so threatening ; whereas on the other hand,
no 'one could bring himself to believe in the possibility of
war. (Cheers.) It would be idle to suppose that war had
not been seriously cantemplated, and it would be still more
idle to imagine that war, when once commenced, could be
restricted within any particular country or within any pre-
scribed limits. (Cheers.) It would in fact be altogether
vain to thi ak that other nations would stand by, passive
spectators of such a contest. (Hear, hear.) Against such
a war, or rat her he would say such an unprovoked European
convulsion, public opinion had been expressed with a
unanimity which be believed to be unprecedented, and
which he hoped had not been without its effect. This
country, the policy of which had been throughout
to cultivate friendly relations with both France and
Austria, had been in a position to render a good
service to both in this crisis ; .and he believed that her Ma-
jesty's Go\ -ernment had turned the opportunity to account.
He felt ass-tired that Lord Cowley would never have been
sent to V ienna, and that Lord Cowley would never have
undertaken the mission, unless there had been a fair pro-
spect of a s atisfactory result. He had also the utmost con-
fidence in I he sagacity, tact, and judgment which would be
displayed by that noble lord. (Hear, hear.) Like every-
body else, he (Lord Clarendon) had read the newspapers.
The able :etnd intelligent men who, in every place in the
world where visitors of distinction arrived, or events of in-
terest were passing, were in correspondence with the Eng-
lish journa?s, were indefatigable in ascertaining facts ;
and they reported them with remarkable accuracy. From
their reports he (Lord Clarendon) gathered that Lord Cow-
ley had not full powers—that he was not charged with any
negotiation —but that he was to hold in Vienna precisely
the same language as he had done in Paris—that he was to
ascertain in. effect what the differences between France and
Austria really were, and to endeavour as far as possible to
reconcile those differences, and to bring about a better
understanding. If he (Lord Clarendon) was right in this
conjecture, he should say that these instructions were judi-
cious, and that her Majesty's Government had acted wisely
in not committing themselves to any distinct protocol.
(Hear, hear.) At present, however, the public know
nothing about Lord Cowley's mission beyond what the
Chancellor of the Exchequer had stated a short time ago
in answer to Lord Palmerston. The friendly character of
Lord Cowley's mission to Vienna appeared to be fully ad-
mitted, and he was believed to have brought back assurances
which were both important and satisfactory. Those
assurances were said to be to the following effect :—That
the Emperor of Austria had expressed his earnest desire to
come to a friendly understanding with France ; that he
had professed his willingness to withdraw the Austrian
army from the Papal States at the same time as the French
army, and to promise that it should not return; that he
had declared that he did not intend and that he never had
intended to invade Piedmont; and that he was prepared to
make, in conjunction with the other powers, such representa-
tions at Rome as would lead to the establishment of a bet-
ter government. If Lord Cowley had really been enabled to
make a communication to this effect to his noble friend, it
would obviously be of great importance that the statement
should be confirmed ; because it was impossible that such
assurances could have been given by the Emperor of Austria
without their having been met in the same spirit of concilia-
tion in Paris. (Hear, hear.) The reason and humanity of
the Emperor, and his deference to the unmistakeable and
unanimous feeling of France, would urge him to adopt that
course. On the other hand, if Austria was about to attend a
congress, and was disposed to make. some concession to the
public opinion of Europe—which, with her vast military
preparations, and her firm reliance on the fatth and loyalty
of Germany, she undoubtedly might make without the
slightest imputation on her honour, or the slightest danger
to herself—then the peace of Europe would certainly not be
disturbed, because any shadow of a pretext would havebeen
removed. (Cheers.) He (Lord Clarendon) purposely re-
frained from any allusion to the topics which would be dis-
cussed at the congress, or to the cessation of military pre-
parations, and possible disarmament, which ought to form
the preparation for that congress. Neither would he put his
question in any precise form, because he felt that the noble
lord would himself know best what information it would be
prudent to give. (Hear.)
The Earl of MALMESBURY—My lcrds, I will begin
by thanking my noble friend for the discretion he has shown
in the speech which he has just delivered, and the manner in
which he has put his inquiry for information which your
lordships must no doubt be eager to obtain. lam perfectly
ready to give as much information as I can without trench-
ing upon those questions which might, perhaps, better be
avoided, or which it would be premature to enterupon. Your
lordships will recollect that at the end of last month Lord
Cowley went to Vienna. Before he left Paris, he obtained
the entire assent and approbation of the French government
to his mission, and he left Paris perfectly in possession of the
ideas of the French government as to what is called the
Italian question, and its various complications. Ho came to
London, but he received no instructions whatever, and he
left England for Vienna perfectly unfettered.

The following bills were considered and ordered for third
reading :—Carmarthen and Cardigan Railway ; Glasgow
Public Parks and Galleries of Art; Kingstown Water ;
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway (Station
at Manchester) ; Poole and Bournemouth Water ; Travel-
lers and Marine Insurance and Accidental Death Insurance
Companies Amalgamation (No. 2) ; and York Improvement.
The Swansea Harbour Trust Bill and Tottenham and
Edmonton Gas Bill were read a second time and ordered to
be committed.
On the motion of Mr. C. FORSTER, the order of the Bth
day of February last, limiting the time of the second read-
ing of privatebills was suspended in the case of the Swansea
Harbour Trust Bill.

The Earl of DERBY here, made a remark to the noble
[ord.

Lord MALMESBURY (resuming)—He received no in-
structions of an official character. He was only to ascer-
tain from the Austrian Government what were the points
which they considered in the same light as the French, and
in what way he might assist, by the good offices of this
country, in restoring those relations between Franco and
Austria which were unfortunately in so critical a position.
He displayed at Vienna all that sagacity, tact, and judg-
ment which my noble friend has so justly ascribed to him,
and which he has never failed to exhibit in any public
service in which he has been employed. (Hear, hear.)
He was received by the Austrian Government with the
utmost frankness and cordiality, and that frankness and
cordiality pervaded all the interviews which he had with
Count Buol. He ascertained that there were points upon
which, with the assistance of England, the French and
Austrian Governments might be induced to treat ; and that
there were other points upon which Count Buol was ready
to enter into communication with England and France, with
a view to remove the danger which threatened Europe, and
to restore peace. Having thus accomplished what I must
describe as a very successful and promising mission, Lord
Cowley returned to Paris. On his arrival in Paris, on the
16th inst., he found that during his absence' the . Wench
and Russian Governments had entered into communication
with each other and that with the consent and approbation
of France, Russia intended recommending to the five great
powers that a congress should sit and settle the matters in
dispute. On the 18th of this month her Majesty's Govern-
ment received from the French ambassador an official inti-
mation that such was the intention of Russia; and her
Majesty's Government communicated on the next day to the
court of St. Petersburg their willingness to accept such an
offer, if it were made on certain conditions; and they
therefore anticipated the official offer which the Russian
Government afterwards made. On the 23d Baron Brunnow
called on me, and announced officially not only that Russia
made that proposition to this country as one of the five
powers, but that Russia also accepted the conditions with
which her Majesty's Government had offered to accept the
proposal of a congress. Since that time eaen of the great
powers have assented to the congress ; but although they
are all undoubtedly agreed upon the fact that there shall be
a congress to discuss the affairs of Italy, and to accomplish
the solution of the present complications, they are not yet
agreed upon the subjects, details, and composition of that
congress. I have no doubt, however, that in a short time
a conclusion will be come to on these points; and I do not
scruple to say that her Majesty's Government are of opinion
that, considering the subjects about to be discussed at this
congress are intimately connected with the political and
social happiness of the Italian States, those States ought to
have an opportunity given them in some way or other of
expressing their opinion on the subjects to be discussed.
(Hear.) Our object will naturally be, if we speak of re-
forms, not to impose any conditions upon the Italian States,
but to recommend to them what we consider to be for their
own benefit andfor the safety of Europe. (Hear, hear.) In
the meantime, it will be a source of satisfaction to your
lordships to know that, although the disarmament which I
should heartily wish to see immediately take place is not
decided upon, both Austria and Piedmont have made a
formal agreement that they will nst attack one another, and
that they will abstain from hostilities. (Hear hear.) Unless
therefore some untoward and almost impos4ible accident
should occur, we may hope that the peace will not be
broken ; and that the congress (which will probably take
place at the end of next month) will terminate in those
results which lam sure we must all desire. (Cheers.)
