assisted ably to beat the enemy that opposed TO
us both With such aance-by the observance of a

LORD ABERpEES's SPEECH.
The Earl of Aberdeen. My lords should be sorry to
dean lordshps ut this late hour for any length OF
time but feel bound to makea few observations in reply
the complaint of the noble earl opposite He said that
this was undertaken in defence of the liberty Of the
Turkish empire; but; he added you have changed the
whole character Of the ws, en this expedition to sebas
topo has removed yon from the possibility Of obtaining
what you desire Now, humbly beg to remind the noble
earl that there be one point more than another more rat 10
the safety and Independence Of The Turkish empire, and
clearly Injurious the pooe Of Russia is tie destruction
Of The fort of SebasopoL Hear hear Having driven the
Russians of the prncpaes the next direct object of
the war; which every body must have had In view from
its very commencement and which could only have
been sessraled In by doubt of its praeeabilty was
the attack and destruction of Sebastopol Hear, hear
Notwithstanding the eager aeaire and expectation
with which this country viewed the first landing in
the Crimea and its immediate consequences
they have beena mistake in which all Europe shared at
the tmestil think that there good grounds to hope
that success will attend efforts, hear hear and
totally disagree from the noble earl in thinking that the
prospect of peace will be diminished by that success.
Quite the contrary feel satisfied that nothing could
tribute much to the probability of obtaining those terms
of peace which my noble friend has alluded to
the signal of the success which should hope may
achieve in this undertaking. The noble earl also referred
to the mention OF the treaty with Austria in the speech
and said that he wag unwilling to express satisfaction
at treaty of the contents Of which he ignorant,
and which might bind to of highly obleeona-
bic nature such would not he sanctioned by The peo-
pie Of this country and he talked Of supporting Aus

may make himself perfectly easy upon that as no
gagement of such description either exists enter
ed into cur minds 1t is unnecessary however to say this
presume thai your ordships do not think it possible
that should have made sach engagement but the
noble earl who spoke early in the evening Derby did
not think correctly understand the import OF the SEN
tence In the address We do not propose that the House
should express any satisfaction at the treaty We propose
only that the House should learn with satisfaction that her
Majesty has made treaty from which she anticipates inn
porant advantages That is all the satisfaction Il is not
that we are satisfied until know what is but that
learn with satisfaction that the Queen ta1 entered into
treaty from which she anticipates advantage EoE, my
lords think that yon may safely express as much salts

dissatisfaction with the treaty itself tIiear, hear
The Earl of Derby The phrase interpreted, then, is
that we are exceedingly glad that her Majesty and her
Maestys advisers approve the treaty which they have
