the House Of Commons was that in which Mr.
Disraeli, on the 18th inst, interpellated the
Ministers on the relations Of the country with
France Disraeli began with POictiers and
AgincCurf, and ended with the hastings at Car
Isle, and the Cloth. Hall at Halifax, his object
being TO denounce Sir James Graham and Sir
Charles Wood for irreverent remarks made on
tie character of Napoleon III Disraeli could
not have rendered the utter decay OF the old
Tory party more evident, than by his throw
ing himself up as the ap0logist OF the Bona
parties, the hereditary enemies OF the very po-
itical class whose chief be himself is tie
could not have opened his opposition career IN
q more inappropriate manner, than by TINS Jus
tifcation OF the actual regime in France. The
weakness of this part of his speech may be seen
from a short analysis OF It,
Attempting TO explain the causes OF the I'M
easiness felt by the public on the state OF Eng
lands present relations with France, ne WAS
compelled TO admit that the principal motive
was lust derived from the large ornaments,
which we're commenced under his own admins
tration. Nevertheless he endeavored TO prove,
that the increasing and completing the detenses
OF Great Britain had their only reason in the
great changes occasioned by the modern appll-
cation of science TO the art of war. Competent
authorities, he says, had ere this recognized the
necessity of such measures. In lc40, under
the Ministry of NJ. Theirs, there had been made
some efforts by the Government OF Sir Robert
Peel az least 10 commence new system with
regard to the public delenses But in vain.
Again, at the outbreak of the Continental revo-
lutions in lc4S, an opportunity had been offered
10 the Government Of the day TO lead popular
opinion in the direction which il desired. as tar
as the defense of the country was concerned.
But again without result. The question Of ma
tional deienses had not become ripe before he
and lis colleagues were placed at the head
of the Government The measures, adopted
BY them were as follows:
l. Militia was established.
II. The Artillery placed in an efficient state.
ILL., Measures were introduced which will completely
fortiy the Arsena of the country and some important
stTong posts upon the coast.
" A proposition was made by which will be aided
70 the Navy coo sailors and 800 marines.
v Arrangements We're made for the establishment OF
the sncient force in the form OF Channel Fleet OF ID
20 sail Of tie line with adequate number OF irisa,es
ard smaller ships
Now, from all these statements it is evident
that Disracli established exactly the contrary
Of what he wanted TO prove The Government
was unable to effect an increase of arInaments,
when the Syrian and Tahitian questions menaced
the entente cordidie with Louis Philippe; it was
equally unable 10 do so when Revolution spread
all over the Continent and seemed 10 threaten
British interests az their very root Why, then,
has it become possible to do SO now, and why
was il done by MIR pisra6li's Government EX-
actly because Napoleon III has raised more fears
for the security of England than have existed at
any time since 1918. And further, as Mr. Cob
den Justly observed:
s,.-,os, 81, ,,,val g,,.s Tuna No. an
increase OF seanrmschuery, bnt one of men, and the
transition from the OF sailing vessels 10 that OF
Smcrs did not imply the necessity Of larger number
of sailors, but quite the contrary
Disratli said:
"Arother cause for the belief in an impending rup.
ture with Frsnce the existence in France of milf
tary government But when armies were anxious for
coIquests was because their position at home was un
,ssy and France now governed by the army, not
in of the military ambition OF the troops but
in consequence of the disquetude OF the cit.zens"
Mr. Disraeli seems entirely TO overlook that
the question is just how long the army will feel
easy at home, and how long the entire Nation
will bow cut of Difference TO the egotstcal dis
quietude of a small class of ctizens,to the actual
terrors Of military despotism which after all
is but the Instrument of exclusive class i'll
terests.
The third cause alleged by Mr. Disraeli
was
The considerable prejudice in this country against
the present ruler Of France. II
rs undertood that in sccedng TO power he had ter.
minated with what was here esteemed Parliamentary
Constitution and that he had abrogsted the liberty Of
the pres
There is, however but little which Mr. Dis.
ratli knew of to oppose to that prejudice. He
said "it was extremely difficult 10 form an
opinion on French politics"
Ii is simply common sense which tells the
English people, although less deeply initiated
into the mysteries of French politics than Mr..
Disraeli, that the reckless adventurer, being
neither controlled by Parliament nor a press,
is the very man TO make piratical descent
upon England, after his own exchequer has
become exhausted by extravaganza and dis.
sipatiCn
Mr. Disracli then records some instances, in
which the cordial understanding between Bona
parte and the late Administration had greatly
contributed toward the maintenance of peace,
as in the case of an impending conflict between
Frsnce and Switzerland, in the opening Of the
South America rivers, in the case OF Prussia
aud Neuichatel, in pressing upon the United
States the Trpartite remuneration Of Cuba, in
the common action in the Leyant with regard
TO the Tan.indt in Egypt, in the revision Of the
Greek Succession Treaty, in the cordial cO0pe.
ration with regard to the Regency OF Tunis,
dc. Now this reminds me of certain men,
Der of the French party of order, who made a
speech at the end of November, 1851, on the
cordial understanding between Bonaparte and
the majority of the Assembly which had en-
abled the latter so easily to dispose Of the Suf-
frsge, the Association, and the Press questions

Disraeli's speech, bis attacks on the Coalition
