PARLIAMENT.-On bringing up the report Of
supply, Lord Dudley Stuart moved an addition
to the resolution of which he had given notice
last night, praying her Majesty not to prorogue
Parliament without full explanations being
given by ministers Of their intentions and
policy regarding the war. He referred to the
published report Of Lord John Russell's speech
in moving for a vote of credit of G8,000,000, in
order to show that there was an Inconsistency
between his first statement and subsequent
explanations; and also that there was want
of unity of opinion in the cabinet. He also
criticised the military and naval operations in
the East and in the Baltic, charging our com
manders, and those who instructed them from
home, with neglect of opportunities and lack of
energy in carrying out the objects of the war
He also denounced the violating policy Of Aus
tria. and the weakness of our own Government
in trying to coneiliate that power, instead Of
trying to carry the war into the enemys domin-
ions, by invading the Crimea and taking Sebas-
topol. He next attacked Mr.. Golden, on ac-
count of his supposed pro-Russian predilec-
tons He concluded by his stating his opinion
that the course he had taken was perfectly CON
stitutional
Sir J. Shelley seconded the notion
Mr.. Sidney Herbert replied, expressing the
willingness of the Government to be bound by the
decision which the House might arrive at. He
defended the commissariat department against
the attack of Mr.. Layard last night He next
went on to refute the assertion of the noble
Lord, that nothing had been done by our fleets
and armies. He condemned the impatience ex-
hibited by the noble Lord, in expecting Russia
to be sscrumbled up" and the war terminated,
in the four months which have elapsed since the
declaration Of war He expressed the fullest
confidence in what will be achieved as the war
progresses. He concluded amidst great cheers,
by stating that the Government were prepared
to meet any charge that might be brought
against them relative to their conduct in carry.

planned had been misrepresented He denied
that he intended to cast any blame on the Gov
ernment with respect to the war He regretted

though he thought the Government was liable

conduct OF the war: and though he had conf

had no confidence in Lord Aberdeen.
