had written for explanations and he Lord Pamerstonl
had being much pressed by business delayed his reply
until he could write fully He then did write and said
that his opinion that the antagonist which had arisen
between the President and the Assembly had made i'm
possible both could exist together He had replied to
Lord John Russels letter that there was distinction be-
tween official dispatches and communications;
that he had said nothing to Count Waewski which could
fetter the Government and that if foreign secretary
were forbidden to talk frankly foreign ambassador
there would be end of all that easy diplomatic commu
nicaton which tended of all the peace Of
nations Upon this Lord John Russell signifed that he
Lord Palmerson ought to resign He conceived hisown
doctrine right, and Lord j. Rnsselrs to be wrong
We copy the remarks made by Lord PALMERsToN in
conclusion OF his speech the subject of the foreign
diplomacy of Great Britain during the last three years
During all the changes which took place in France
during the year lS48 whoever at the head Of the
Government and whatever form Of was aopt
ed by the French nation abstaned from all interer-
with the internal affairs of France Our principle
has been to treat the authorities of the moment as the
Government Of the French nation and with those autho-
rites relations have always been those of cordial
amity Then, with regard to the United States The
United States constitute Power between which and this
country in former years the most serious difficulties exist
ed But these countries are now upon cordial
footing and better understanding prevails between them
than has before prevailed between those two great
and kindred Powers This is state of things which
must say is very much owing to the abilities and concia-
tory manners of our late Minister to- the United States
Sir Henry Bulwer, and very much also to the manly.
frank and conciliaory character of that
distinguished who represents the United States at
this Court With the Spanish States of America nor
NAL condition. may almost say has been that ofdemand
ing redress for injuries done to British subjects But
these points of dispute either settled in train
of adjustment; and relations with those States are
good they have been, they are likely
to be- With Brazil we are cooperating, with the
great object of the suppression of the slavetade That
VIII
former the number Of slaves imported into Brazil
had been $4,000 10000 and OOO the number of slaves
brought during the last year less than 000 of which
certain number seized by the Government for the
purposes of emancipation. And sir if the now
in cooperation between England and Brazil and the
being taken upon the coast of Africa are
well and Systematically followed out the people of this
country will in short time have the satisfaction Of
compshng the great and noble object which for SO great
length Of time has been the aim at which they have d.
reced their efforts. do not think the people of England
desire the suppression Of the saverade because they be-
eve they will gain thereby in reputation and renown be-
it is not to gain reputation and that those
sacrifices have been made and those exerons have been
continued They have desired the extinction Of the slave
traffic not for fame but for virtues better end and the
people OF this country whenever that great object is
compished will look for their reward to the tongues
of men, but to the dispensing award of just and retrbu-
tive Providence. Our relations with Spain are now more
cordial than they have been Notwithstanding
cent differences with that Power With the States Italy
have had questions relative to losses sustained by nd
vduas but these have been settled in the satisac-
tory With Turkey relations have been per-
fectly amicable.
Austria is, perhaps, the only Power with which
our relations have not been quite cordial in
former periods of history But with Austria far
outward appearances and diplomatic relations
cerned upon friendly terms With regard to Aus
tria must observe however, that great differences of
opinion and principle have existed between the English
and Austrian Governments England has supported the
diffusion OF constitutional government while the Austrian
Government the contrary have preferred the despoc
system. In Portugal Sicily, and the north Of Italy the
two Governments were at variance in their opinions and
also in their views upon difficult internal questions,
and upon the action of Turkey with regard the treat
men of the refugees from the Hungarian territory But
these differences constitute why the British and
Austrian Governments should not cooperate with each
other upon any matter which opinions and in
terests may agree Why sir, England and Austria had
differences with each other in the years 1884 1885, 1885,
and 1887 with regard to the affairs of Portugal and Spain,
but that did not prevent cooperating with Austria in
1910 or 1884, when found that her objects and views
were identical with our own. And whatever irritation
may have been introduced and whatever differences Of
policy may have existed that irritation to SUBJ
side and am therefore justified in including Austria
among the countries with whom have satisfactory re-
laons of friendship and interest Sir having conducted
the affairs of this country through periods Of considerable
difficulty it my good fortune to be the instrument Of
peace, and to combine Herewith the not unsuccessful
sertion of the interests of England And think may say
that in quitting Office have handed the foreign rela
tons Of the country my with the honor and
dignity Of England unsuied and leaving her character
and reputation standing high among the nations of the
world"
