habitants aAd not at that of their Austrian opres-
sors. He begged 10 know how the honorable lord,
the Secretary Of State tor Foreign Affairs, would
large army. quartered in his house, and have TO
pay weekly bill for their support The vllIany
OF that proceeding had called forth the indignation
OF Europe and America, where the President
spoke so favorably Of the cause of Hungary, and
sympalhised with the refugees It was an out
rage on the treaties with Turkey to keep the forces
Of Russia In Danubisn prncipallties when the
warfare ceased. The government of this country
had intended not only on principles Of justice, but
from motives OF intersection every statesman was
aware that Russia was bent ON great strides into
orr eastern empire-to take steps to Illustrate the
attempt OF that power to injure other steps pre-
paratory TO obtaining ready possession OF British
India. The appearance of British Feet in the
DeIdaneles had the effect of causing them to
abandon their designs; but there was no doubt but
the attempt, at some convenient opportunity, would
be renewed; and he would, therefore, advise that
a vieiant eye be kept on all their movements. The
noble lord resumed his seat by submitting the mo-
lion Of which he had given notice.
Lord PALMERsToN begged 10 assure the noble
lord and that house that the government, on every
occasion, were most anxious TO give the fullest In
formation on the subject of Hungary and the ex-
tradition question that lay In his power; but. consl-
dering the wide scope Of the motion in its present
shape-that il would be necessary to publish the
communications from various foreign governments
which it would be exceedingly injudicious to pub.
lish-he hoped the government would be permitted
which would not prejudice the public service and
the relations subsistlng between this and foreign
countries. Last year. when the subject was be;
fore the house. he had fully stated his views, and
but the unanimous:voice of the British people, and
which WINS very creoitable 10 their name. 1t was
in his power to state that the government OF Rnssia
purpCsed very shortly to reduce Its force In Media
via and Wallachia, to 10 900 men; and he was sure
that would be satisfactory 10 the house and the
people Of this country. In justice, however, to
The Russian government. IT was but night to
state that, on the appeal OF turkey 10 Eng
land, Russia agreed TO desist her active armed IN
teIvention. and understanding was entered into
whereby Turkey engaged to remove the Polish
refugees from the Turkish territories. diplomatic
relations between Russia and Turkey were IN con-
sequence re-estabished; and there was every
prospect OF the diplomatic relations 81 the latter
power and Austria being also re-esfabiished at no
distant day, although they had not az yet come to
a compromise. He thought that, IN the intricate
and difficult transactions which the question had
given rise TO, that the representative OF this coun
try at Constantinople, Sir Stratiord Canning, had
acted with creditable judgment; and II was, In
great measure to the exertions OF that distinguish
ed nobleman and diplomatist, that they had sue
ceeded in bringing the Misunderstanding TO . set
tlement. He hoped, therefore, that, In the circum-
stances, the noble lord who made the present mo.
ton would not press it upon the House, but would
leave II 10 the government TO give such extracts
as they, with any degree Of prudence, could give.
Mr.. c. ANsTRY saw no reason, from what &C.
last session. why the whole papers and information
sought for should be denied by the government.
AS the Car had already broken faith, the assu-
rance of the noble lord that she was bent on re-
They had no knowledge or authority from the
autocrat that he had carried out any part OF his
tentlon; SO he thought the papers should be forth
coming, and insisted upon by the noble lord who
moved tor their publicity.
Lord DUDLEY STUART weuld be contented with
.uch papers the noble lore, the Foreign Secretary,
could lay on the table; but he expected, at the
same time, that the noble lord would produce pa
pers relating to all the subjects mentioned in the
motion. Ii had transpired that attempt had been
made on the life of kossuth, and he hoped that the
noble lord wosld use every influence to prevent
such vile attempts, either on that distinguished
person or his fellow martyrs.
Lord G. HAMILTON said the noble lord had no
right TO state that an attempt had been made to
assassinate some Of the refugees. II he knew
such TO be the fact, he oughtto have come forward
IN q manly way, and demanded an investigation.
and make no assertions which had no foundation
but in the imaginations of those who were his
malicious instructors
Mr.. CocKBURN observed that the motion seemed
10 HIM to imply doubt whetner the government
had done its duty, and regretted that after the adj
mirablc speech Of the noble lord, the Secretary
for Foreign Affairs, last session, that such doubt
rs the present should be entertained. The people
Of Hungary fought for their venerable constitution,
and II was matter OF regret that IN an English
House OF Commons, an English gentleman should
uare slenu UP anu OelenO the proceedings OF Aus
iria. He held in hls hand paper containing list
Of some Of the nobest Hungarisns, who were exc
cuted by order Of the Austrian government, and
he declared that il was the bloodiest paper which
II ever had been his misfortune to read. Tue GO
vernment OF Great Britain in such circumstances,
should put forward moral efforts TO save the un-
fortunate refugees from the vengeance OF those
despousms Of Russia and Austria. He hoped the
government would be able to prove that they had
done so.
Mr.. D'IsRAFLI though, the debate was uncaled
for The history OF the revolutions in this country
would show that in England, as well az in Austria,
similar atrocities had been committed ia similar
circumstances; and be might also refer TO the
wholesa murders which were daily taking place
in Ceylon, and several Of the dependencies OF Eng
land, 10 show tina, the conduct Of this country
equally doubtful and suspicious. They. should,
therefore, be ttle cautious in speaking Of other
governments. He was gEatiiied that hon. me mbers
showed so much sollciiude for the preservation OF
the Turkish empire; but he could not forge, that
when IN that house he had advocated the integrity
Of that empire, he had found himself in minority,
and that by the acts and policy Of liberal GO
vernment
