The Sun.

Two years had now elapsed since that difficult question
arose. There were two co•guaranteeing powers,
France and England; England had repudiated her
guarantee; France had not done so. We talked of our
friendly relations with Prussia not being disturbed. He
conceived that the settlement of that question was indispen-
sable to the restoration of a sure and good understanding
with Prussia. Every hour's delay increased the difficulty of
the settlement ; and every increase in the difficulty of the
settlement rendered more probable a misunderstanding with
the Prussian power. What was the result so far ?—(Hear,
hear.) The Austrian Ambassador had withdrawn from
London ; the French Ambassador had been recalled ; our re-
lations with Prussia, on account of the non-conclusion of the
arrangement with Denmark, were insecure. Two notes had
been received from Count Nesselrode, not couched in very
friendly terms. He thought he had seen a third note pub-
lished; and more than that, he had reason to believe that
the Russian Ambassador at this Court had remonstrated in
strong terms against the refusal of the mediation of France
in this affair. As he had already said, Narvaez was
all-powerful in Spain; Costa Cabra was all-power-
ful at Lishan ; the French army was in occu-
pation at Rome; and the Pope was much estranged
from our friendly intercourse. Again, because the Noble
Lord (Palmerston) was not the Minister of Austria, not the
Minister of Russia, not the Minister of France—(Cheers,
and counter-cheers)—but the English Minister, par excel-
lence, he was asked to come to a vote affirming absolutely
that, under his administration the interests of England had
been upheld in a manner most conducive to the honour and
dignity of this coun• ry, and to the preservation of onr ami-
cable relations with toreiga countries.- (Hear, hear.) It
was imps ,il,le tor him, consistently with truth, and with
the sense which lie entertained of the transactions to which
he had referred, to give his vote in favour of such a pro-
position.
Mr. B. OSBORNE moved the adjournment of the debate.
