Der, 1854 there was a short session Of Parliamest
assembled chiefly to discuss the bill fer the enlistment
OF foreigners. He was one of those who opposed It.
Mr. Gibson, bis colleague also opposed 1t; aad, to
show how unnecessary it was he was not certain that
apy single person emitted under the bill had ever yet
got to the field Of war had taken part in any military
| operation. Mr. Gibson's speech on that question,
which he DIR. Bright referred to last night IN Han'
| sard was admitted by everybody TO be the speech
which il was impossible for the advocates Of the bill
| 10 meet in argument. He said, ii were going to
have these foreigners, how was it to be done Were
we going to seduee without the consent OF Their
| Governments to enlist were we gong 70 hegouate
| with Individuals Because that was contrary to the
public law of Europe. We might negotiate with
Governments il we hked but if foreign Government
agreed with TO furnish men for war, they became
parties to the war and were no longer neutral, and
| therefore this bill not Necessary IL was only
necessary if we were going to obtain agonst the
| will OF their Governments, and by some connivance
| of the Government. Well, what had taken place
| We found that in Prussia an English Consul had
| been impnsoned that we had been cntclng nom the
| Uapse Towns and from Hamburg, persons to come to
Helgoland TO enlist; and it not that those Gov
| eumepts we're too feeble We should have got into
difficulties with regard to them also. But the thing
of all others that was 10 him most Incredible was tnat
the Government of an economical country-a country
that had adopted free trade and contained assOcia
