DEBATE II PARLIAMENT.
An important debate took place in the House
Of Lords on Monday, in relation to the Eastern
Question.
The Marquis of Clanrearde brought forward
his motion 10 call the attention of the House to
the state of the country with relation to the ques
ton of peace or war. The Marquis said that
when he made his notice of the motion he GER
tainly thought, from the language held by n mem
Der of the government in that house, that the pro-
posaI made to the Emperor Of Russia had been
virtually, if not formally, rejected by him and
that his formal refusal to accede would be receiy-
cd Immediately. II appears, however, that no
formal refusal had been received, and that the
-embIunce of negotiations were stll going on at
Vienna.
While, therefore, continued the Marquis, there
was even the fqintest probability of these nego-
tiations resulting in peace he was unwilling to
provoke discussion, and would rest content with
asking the Foreign Secretary the simple yet i'm
portant questions: alas any answer been re-
eeiyed from the Emperor of Russia What is
the present diplomatic relations with that power!
What instructions, if any, have been sent to the
British Minister at 81. Petersburg -
The Earl of Clarendon replied that Lord Clan
ricardo was SO far correct in the supposltion that
the proposal from the Emperor Of Russia had

II was only on the ID inst, continued Lord
Clarendon, that the conference was called togeth-
er' and these proposals or rather this counter

nicated by Count Buel, the Austrian rcprcncnta
tive, To the representatives of France, England
and Prussia. The dispatch announcing this fact
was not yet in the possession OF all the members
Of the government, but he could inform the
House that the terms of the Empcrors proposal
were quite unaeceptionable and not of a eharae-
ter to permit of their being sent TO Constantine
pie.
Upon that point, continued the Earl of Claren-
don, doubt existed for moment IN the minds
of the members of the conference.
mreply to the second inquiry, Lord Clarendon
stated, that on Saturday evening, the 9th inst,
Baron blQnUN, tho ilNSlitl1 Minister AT I4hlhbl
called ut the foreign office, and made known that
the answers given to the inquiries Of his govern
ment did not permit him 10 continue his official
functions, and consequently diplomatic relations
between Russia and Great Britain are broken off
PRUSSIA AND lay The

Of his mission is fully eonirmed-at the same
time il must not be thought that Prussia and Aus
tria are disposed to make common cause with
the western powers. They had joined them for
the purpose of avoiding by every possible means
an European war, but if u collision takes place
between Russia and the maratime powers, Pras-
STA aud Austria have resolved to tahe no part IN
the struggle.
