THE TREATY OF ADRIANOPLE.
The •Kriau. or ABERDEEN then rose, in a very crowded
House to, move for a copy of a despatch he had addressed
is 1629' to Lord Heytesbury, after the signature-of the
Treaty of Adrianople, respecting his. opinion that this
treaty had been of a disastrous character. He. read one
passage from the despatch in question, to show that he
strongly disapproved of it at the time. He had certainly
said the other night, in reply, to . some exaggerated and
unfounded statements of Lord Lyndhurst, as.to the effect
of this treaty that Russia ha&not acquired, any compara-
tively great acquisitions of territory under its operation.
He was not unaware of the strategical importance of these
places, still they were not to the extent they bad been des-
cribed to be. After the signingof that treaty, the policy of
Russia changed from one of territorial acquisition to one of
political influence, by which her ends were equally well
furthered, without exciting the suspicions of Europe ;
and it was also to this.. fact that he referred the other
night. He denied that lie had any desire to return to
the provisions of the treaty of Adrianople as to the
status quo, and said that the terms upon which peace
would be made would be determined only by the
events of the war ; but government were determined
that the integrity and independence of Turkey should
be effectually maintained, It had been said that he
had expressed his disbelief of Russian aggression. He cer-.
tainly had the greatest alarm of Russian aggression upon
Turkey, tat none at all for Russian aggression upon
Europe. He repeated,his desire for the maintenance• of
peace, believing that no greater calamity could happen to
any country than war; but he also knew that the beat ay
of securing peace was to make war with vigour,
appealed to his colleagues whether he. had not artewwitih'

•NILICA.RDE, in a long speech, said
The Marquis of
'a despatch
the noble earl, instead of producinghe had
written after the signature
of the treaty of Adrianople,
ought to have given the instructions he had issued to the
British ambassador before the treaty was
signed. He
warmly condemned the whole foreign policy of the noble
earl whenever he had been in office, and, after some strong
observations upon the recent change hi the ministry, said
Lord Palmerston ought to have been made secretary-at-
war. He had no hesitation in saying that the country
had no confidence in the administration of Lord Aberdeen,
either in the conduct of the war or in negotiations of
peace, whenever the time for them should arrive ; but he
excused himself for not moving a vote of want of confi-
dence, on the ground that he could not see his way clear,
supposing such a vote should be carried.
Lord BEAUMONT did not regard the amended speech
of the noble earl as satisfactory, and expressed appre-
hensions that the councils of Austria would be taken in
any negotiations for peace, whatever might be the success
of our arms.
Lord BROUGHAM deprecated discussion at this moment.
Lord Aberdeen's language had been strictly consistent.
He hoped, however, that the Western Powers would not
be committed by the proposal said to have been sent by
Austria to Russia. At the same time peace ought not to
be made without a guarantee against future Russian ag-
gressions, when Europe was less prepared to resent them.
The motion was agreed to, and the heuae ackiQUlled at
