THE SUN,

made in conjunction with France for moral and materifsl fts-
sistance, and it is satisfactory to think that in acceding So
that application we took a step which all parties in this coun-
try concur in applauding.—(Loud cheers.) It is a proud
and honourable recollection for Englishmen to treasure up
that upon the occasion referred to all party differences, all
political discrepancies were merged in a high and generous
national feeling, and that all parties were unanimous in opi-
nion that the Government would not have been justified if
they had rejected such an appeal so made, and on such a
subject.— o H

and th
arrival of the day which would in.orm us of the
sending off our dispatches to and Set. Petersburgh,
decision of the Imperial Governments, might have been so
great as to have rendered our interference totally
ino-
perative for good. Besides, see what was the state of
things in Constantinople. The Ministers of Austria and
Russia were using most menacing language, and demanding
the immediate surrender of the Hungarian and Polish
refugees. In short, they plainly intimated that a refusal
on the part of the Porte to acquiesce in their demands would
probably eventuate in war being declared against Turkey by
Russia and Austria.—(Cheers.) We had no possible means
of ascertaining at the time to what extent the Ministers of
Russia and Austria were authorised by their respective Go-
vernments to hold this language. We could not divine
what might happea, and we accordidgly sent a fleet to the
Dardanelles. It is said that we did so for the purpose of
holding out a threat against Russia and Austria. I utterly
deny it.—(Loud cheers.) A fleet at the mouth of the Dar-
danelles could not be a threat against Austria. A fleet in
the Mediterranean could not be a threat against Russia. It
must have been evident to the world that it could only
have been brought there to be a signal of comfort and a
source of defence for the Sultan if he should be attacked.—
(Loud cheers.) It was a measure purely of defence,
and not of offence against any party whatsoever. It had
been said that it was a violation of the treaty of London, of
July, 1841, with regard to the passage of the Dardanelles,
that our fleet should be stationed inasmuch as vessels of war,
or merchant-men, were prohibited to enter those Straits.
Now it so happened that the treaty in question did not spe-
cify what these Straits were. It did not say whether they
comprised the whole distance between the Mediterranean and
the Sea of Marmora on one side, and the Black Sea and the
Sea of Marmora on the other; or whether they consisted
only of such portions of the Channel as were technically
described as the Straits of Bosphorus and Dardanelles. The
Turkish Government expressed their gratitude for the arri-
val of the fleet, but representing that the immediate. place
where the fleet was stationed, near the Dardanelles, was not
secure against the weather, they offered to send an
authority to the Pacha of the Dardanelles to
admit the fleet into Bes-Chika Bay, where there was
secure anchorage. Admiral Parker accepted this
offer, which was also made to the French fleet, and re-
mained there for a week or ten days ; but I lost no
time in writing to Sir Stratford Canning to direct that the
fleet should not, upon any account, enter the Straits of the
Dardanelles.—(Hear, hear.) Sir Stratford Canning forth-
with communicated my letter to Admiral Parker, and exs
plained to him that, although he was there in conformity
with the arrangements and by the express permission of the
Porte, it was nevertheless possible that hereafter some ques-
tion might be raised upon the subject, and that therefore it
was much better for him to leave without further delay, and
seek some other anchorage; when application was subse-
quently made upon the subject by Russia, we at once acceded
to the arrangement, that for the future the Straits of Bos-
phorus and Dardanelles should be held to mean the whole of
the distance between the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmora,
on the one hand, and the Mediterranean and the Sea of Mar-
mora on the other.—(Hear, hear.) This we consented to,
although we might have argued that the presence of the
fleet in the outer bay was no violation of the treaty, it
having been there by the express permission of ' the Porte.
Sir, I believe I have now gone through all the heads of the
charges which have been brought against me.—(Loud
cheers.) I have shown that the foreign policy of the Go.
vernment, in all these transactions, in regard to which it has
been impugned, has throughout been guided by those prin-
ciples which, according to the resolution of the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman, ought to regulate the conduct of the
Government of England in the management of our foreign
relations.—(Cheers.) I believe and think that the princi-
ples upon which we have acted are those which are approved
by the great mass of the people of this country.— (Loud and
prolonged cheers.) I. am confident that those principles are
calculated to tend, as far as the influences of England may
be permitted properly to be exercised with regard to the
destinies of other countries, to the welfare and happiness of
mankind, the advancement of civilization, the maintenance
of peace, the development of the. resources and,prosperity
of all other countries', and are eminently calculated to do
-honour to the country in which we live.—(Continued cheers.)
Sir, I do not complain of the conduct of those ' who have
made this question a means of attack upon her Majesty's
Government. The Government of a great country like this
is undoubtedly an object of fair and legitimate ambition for
men of all shades of opinion.—(Loud cheers.) Sir, it is a
noble thing to be allowed to guide the policy and to influence
the destiny of-such a country as this; and if it is .a fair ob-
ject,ef honourable ambition at- all times, more than ever it
must be so at the moment I am speaking.—(Cheers.) For
while the whole surface of the earth has ,been disturbed—
while-we have been,. as it has been said in-- tha course-of this
debate, -"whirled aboat-from side. to' Side—while -thrones
filis're been shaken, shattered,- and levelled, and institu-
tions. overthrown' and ' destroyed—whor almost every
Country its Europe • has witnessed, _scenes of , conflict
whichhave deluged -the land in blood, from the Atlantic to
the Black Sea, from the Baltic to. the Mediterranean—this
country has remained a spectacle honourable to the people
of England and worthy of the admiration of mankind.—
(Enthusiastic, cheers.) We have shown that liberty is
compatible with order. We have shown that individual
freedom is reconcilable with perfect obedience to the law.
We have shown the example of a nation in which every class
of society cheerfully accepts the lot which Providence has
assigned it, and where every individual is trying to raise
himself in the social scale, not by injustice and wrong—not
by violence and illegality, but by persevering good conduct,
and by the steady and energetic application of those moral
and intellectual faculties with which his Creator has endowed
him.—(Cheers.) I say that to govern such a people is, indeed,
an object worthy of the ambition of the noblest men who live
in the land. Therefore I find no fault with those who think
any opportunity is a fair one to place themselves in so distin-
guished a position ; but I contend that we have not, in the
course of our foreign policy, done anything to forfeit the con-
- fidence of the country.—(Tremendous cheering.) I contend
that, whether in this matter or in that we may have acted up
to the opinion of one person or of another—and hard, indeed,
it is, as we all know by private experience, to find any num-
ber of men agreeing upon any matter in which all may
not squally be acquainted with the details of facts, circum-
stances, reasons, and conditions which have led to action—
I say, making allowance for these differences of opinion,
I maintain that the principles which can be traced
throughout all our foreign transactions, and which have
been the guiding rule by which we have beers directed, are,
in my opinion, deserving the approbation of the country—
(Enthusiastic cheering) —and I challenge the verdict which
this House may give upon the question now before it,
as a political, as a commercial, as a constitutional coun-
try, whether the principles which have governed the foreign
policy of the British Government—whether the duty of at=
fording protection to our subjects abroad, which we have
considered as the guide of our conduct, are proper and fitting
for those charged with the government of England, or whe-
ther, as in days of old, the Roman held himself to be free
from indignity who had said civis Rotnanus sum, or whether
British subjects should find themselves protected by the vigi-
lant eye and strong arm of their Government against injus-
tice and wrong.

The Noble ford, who had been speaking from a quarter to
ten o'clock until twenty minutes past two, then concluded
amid a burst of enthusiastic applause, which was caught up
again and again for several minutes, and continued with un-
abated vigour.

Sir J. WALSH moved the adjournment of the debate.
The debate was then adjourned until Thursday next at five
o'clock.

The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the
House adjourned at half-past Two o'clock.
