FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

Lord HOLLAND rose, before the Counsel were called, in
order to put some questions to a Noble Earl (Liverpool) re-
specting the state of our Foreign Relations at the present
time, and particularly with regard to the armaments which
were preparing by the Government of Austria. He was in.
duced to seek for explanation on another point, also, in con-
sequence of the declaration made by Russia in the very
face of the European world; and, therefore, he conceived he
was justified in asking of his Majesty's Ministers what com-
munications bad taken place respecting these points, be-
tween the Government of this Country, and the Cabinets of
Austria and Russia. He asked this question, in the first in-
stance, in order to satisfy the public mind. He wished to
know, again, if Austria had communicated to his Majesty's
Government the object of the army she had put into march;
also, if the had required troops or supplies 'from us ; and in that
event, he wished to be informed what had been the answer of
Ministers to the application. He wished to ascertain, in short,
whether the late changes on the Continent and in the South
of Europe were likely to affect or alter those relations of
peace and ansity which had hcen so recently restored to us.
He was most anxious to satisfy the public mind on these im-
portant points; and he believed, 'from the bottom of his
heart, that the answer of the Noble Earl would be honour-
able to his Majesty's Government, and satisfactory to the
public at large.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL was glad that the Noble Baron
had thought proper to bring the subject before the House,
and he hoped he should be enabled to give hiss such an an-
swer, as he trusted would be satisfactory on all essential
points. At the same time, it was necessary to observe, that
he considered it by no means consistent with his public duty
to give such an explanation on every point. With respect to
the events which had taken place in the South of Eu-
rope, it must be observed that we stood in a different
way then with respect to other points; for there was
A division in the members of the Monarchy of this two Ski-
lies, in which, at present, the King had not acquiesced.—
Having said this, he could assure the Noble Baron that he
felt no difficulty in stating, but without at all giving up our
right to interfere at proper times, that it was neither the
policy nor the interest of his Majesty's Government to inter-
fere in the internal concerns of other States ; nor was this
Country a party to the affairs now going on. He trusted
their Lordships would receive this explanations as not intend-
ed to narrow or fetter the right of the Government to inter-
fere at discretion in the changes of other States.
Lord HOLLAND said, that he had anticipated the satisfac-
tions he now felt from the answer of the Noble Earl. He
could not, however, help remarking, that the Noble Earl had
made no observation on the events which had occurred at
Naples; and therefore, he still wished to know, if any thing
had occurred that might be supposed to justify the interfer-
ence of this country.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL was anxious, if possible, to sa-
tisfy the Noble Baron. It was, he presumed, is ell known to
their Lordships that a Gentleman of great talents and high
respectability hall been sent out to Naples as the Representa-
tive of this turret; he still remained there, but owing to
events no fresh Letters of Credence bad been transmitted to
hint. Though his Majesty's Government had no wish what-
ever to withdraw him, yet it hid been considered not proper,
at such a crisis, to issue fresh, Letters of Credence.
[Here both Lord Hou,...Nu and the Earl of LIVERPOJI. ex-
plained, when the latter, if we rightly understood the 'Noble
Earl, intimated that if no differences had arisen at Naples as
between theGorernmens, new Letters of Credence would hare
been issued to our Envoy at that Court, but at present it was
not deemed advisable to issue them.]
Earl GREY declared that he was by DO means satisfied with
the explanation of the Noble Earl, as to the reason why such
letters of credence had not been issued. The real fact was,
and their Lordships could not disguise it from themselves,
that his Majesty's resident Minister at the Court of Naples
was indeed there, but without credit from his own Court;
and, he would ask, was not this calculated to alter the ami-
cable relations which had hitherto subsisted between the
respective Counts ? It was on this account that he bad
beard the explanation of the Noble Earl with much
concern, at the present thole. What hail happened in Naples,
he WAR prepared to contend, would not justify us in altering
our policy and suspending those relations which ought to be
maintained with that country; but, on the contrary, he should

suppose that every idea of ennnd pol,cv. every anent teat'
interest, would have induced us to credit our resin° berber'
sentative there. He worrhi ask the Noble Earl oplbosaet`tnreet'
if the King should be called to t! , !lead of the Gollrvite;
he would in that event deem it ”,.cossarr on issue tier' tiot.';`

there was no point on which his Learned PI" or
