hess ambition Of ons man whose mind has been CAR

to overrate the powers Of the country which he
relu tsDtly engaged, but which we have gone into
for objects Of the utmost importance not only TO
this country but to Europe and the civilized world
ought not to terminate except that termination De

for similar purpose. (Cheers.)
Lord D. STUART said he thought that what had
passed this evening ha1 very materially altered the
position Of affairs The noble lord (Lord John Rus
speech in way that amounted to retraction and II
was reported that the head Of the government had,
since that speerh was made, expressed himself in
another place nearly dismetricslly opposite to the
1t necessary that the House SHOULD have time to
gain inform tion. and to consider what course
shouli be adopted. He therefore thought it his
duty TO move that the chairman report progress,
and ask leave to st again.
Lord J. RUssELL-Unless the noble lord has some
motion to make which will be either reduction OF
TIE SUM asked, or refusal Of IL, cannot see on
what ground be can ask that the chairman should
ort rogess. The noble lord says that Ihave made
retrsctation Of my speech. have made no retra,.
tation was stating In the speech which ade what
might be the terms OF peace had stated at the COM
meDcement of the session, and Irepeased that state
W
operations Of war; to speculate on What the result
Of those operations might be- and therefore, was not
speaking in any to operations Of The honorable
member for the West Riding said that we we're in
coun Of war, and that had proposed the capture
Of Sebastopol and the conquest Of the Crinea and
that the Crimes was to be given to some other
power ! never said anything Of the sort II was my
Intention II the right honorable gentleman had not
risen, and the debate hoo nov come TO q close, In
answering the deren. observations, to have noticed
the obeervations Of the honorable member for the
West Riding, who, have no doubt, msfook what
said. But certainly the difference was very great
a. to the terms Of peace which, II there we're ne
gotiation, might be asked now and speculation Of
what might be the terms IL certain conquests ~ere
made. What said was, that did not think Russia
would be allowed to maintain her position at Seoas
tOpol, and that change in 1t was necessary for
OTHER nations. How that was to be done did not
explain, but ali said was, that the position Of
Russia at Sebastop0l was perpetual menace.
cannot see why the House should not decide upon
this at once
Lord d. STUART was sensible of the objection
against taking vote on the present question. He
would therefore withdraw his motion, II the leader
Of the House would give himan assurance that the
report should be brought up at time When there
could be . full discussion. He would then move a
resolution to the effect that there should be ad
gracousy pleased not to prorogue Parliament until
she should be able to give more full information,
both with respect to her relations with foreign
States and to her views with respect to the contest
in which she was engaged. (Hear.)
Lord j. RUSSELL gave the noble lord the desired
assuran &c, and said that, while it was gratifying to
hear that three members should have declared that
they had understs cd the declaration he had made
in the in which he intended it, he greatly re-
GREETED that there soould have been such ambiguity
in the expressions he had used that any members OF
the House should have given to them . meaning
such a. he had never meant to convey He trusted
that the committee would consider that he wished
to afford to the House every information hear,
hear)-but on alters concerning the policy Of the
country and Of our allies it was necessary that he
should not say more than was absolutely necessary.
(Cheers)
The reso luton was then agreed to.
