L ):.:i/ON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 166.7

Mr. DISRAELI list night entered into personal
explanations respecting the allegations which he
had put forcrzrd on the subject of an alleged
Secret Treaty between France and Austria, by
which the former guaranteed t) the latter the
integrity of her Italian possessions against foreign
foe or domestic disturbance, and which at the
time received a prompt and unqualified contra-
diction from the First Lord of the Treasury. We
cannot feel surprised that the Right Honourable
Gentleman was desirous of taking the earliest op-
portunity of setting himself right with the House,
and vindicating his reputation from the imputa-
tion of being either a knave or a fool—a bold
"romancer," who invented or guessed at matters,
or a dupe who eagerly swallowed the canards im-
posed on his credulity as unquestionable facts.
He was bound to show that his statements had
that reasonable foundation which might justify a
prudent and cautious man in putting it forward in
his place in Parliament, knowing that it would be
wafted on the wings of the Press throughout the
length and breadth of the land. If sustained it
would have a very damaging effect on Her MA-
JESTY'S Government, affix'ng the brand of dupli-
city to their conduct. It could not, of course, be
etlPPosed that the Right Hon. Gentleman could
now obt.tin access to official documents which
would establish his position. It was sufficient if
he had trustworthy evidence to sustain his alle-
gations. That he felt himself to be in the right
is proved by the fact that he last night repeated
his assertions with additional circumstances, giving
even tho very date of the alleged Treaty, which
he declared to have been executed on the 22d. of
December, 1854, with the full knowledge and
concurrence of Her MAJESTY' 8 GoVennuant.
It
