Great Britain.
On the 3d. the affairs of Italy were debated
in both houses of Parliament. In the Lords,
the Marquis of Normandy inquired if there
was any objection to produce papers relative
to the projects of peace transmitted to Austria
before the treaty OF. Villafranca. He denounced
the conduct Of the government as one-sided
and as evidencing no desire to maintain neu-
trality.
Lord Woodehouse in reply reiterated the
statement that England sent terms of peace to
Austria at the request of France, but without
giving advice or expressing any opinion on the
subject. He said it would be most inconven-
lent to produce the documents in the present
state OF negotiations
Earl Granville acknowledged the account of
Lord John Russell as the united account of the
Cabinet.
In the Commons, Lord Elcho moved an adj
dress to the Queen, declaring it would be in
consistent with the honor and dignity of Eng
land, after having preserved strict neutrality
to take part in any Conference for settling the
details Of peace, the preliminaries of which
have already been arranged between the En-
perors of France and Austria. Lord Elcho
praised the neutral course OF the late govern
ment, and censured the antiAustrian feeling
eyinced by the present Cabinet
Mr.. Kingtake moved the previous question,
feeling it would be unwise to bring the govern
ment to any line of policy, regardless of chang.
SS WHICH lllSII take place dt any hour.
Mr. Gladstone said the motion was not rele
want to the present position of affairs. The
government had no intention OF taking part in
settling the details of peace on the basis of the
Villafranca treaty. The begerents them
selves would settle these details, and what
would remain to be settled would be the great
question Of the Emperor's policy, in which he
thought England should play her traditional
part. lie defended the government and called
for decisive vote on the question.
Mr.. S. Fitzgerald said the object of the res
olution was to restrain the government from
carrying out its personal sympathies which
were inconsistent with the treaty obligations
OF the country Parliament ought not to sane
ton the government in going into the Confer
ence without being informed Of what the great
powers had agreed upon the subject.
Sidney Herbert argued that neutrality ex-
pred with the war, and he saw no reason why
England could not consistently join in the
Congress.
Messrs Horsman and Whiteside spoke in
favor Of the resolution, and denounced the for
eign proclamation that government had not
the slightest intention to go into the European
Congress to settle details of the peace of Villa
franca. Nobody ever invited them to do So
He admitted there were difficulties in the way
OF government entering the Congress, and
matters were in that state that 10 determna-
House to leave the question in the hands Of the
ministers, who would decide when the whole
facts of the case were before them.
Disraeli warned the government of the dan
gers incurred by entering the Congress, but
stated his objection to the House coming to
any decision after hasty deliberation, and
hoped Lord Elcho would not press his motion
to a division.
After some remarks from Palm erston in de-
of in iatio of
the resolution, Lord Elcho said he was salts
fed with the admission made by the govern
ment, and the result of the debate, and would
not press his motion.
In the Lords, on the 9th, the subject of ma.
tional detences was referred to. Lord King
down contended that the army and navy would
never be on satisfactory footing till government
had the power to enforce compulsory service.
Earl Ripen thought it would be most iniudic-
ious to resort to compulsory measures, and
pledged every effort of the government to
make the detences secure.
In the Commons the Indian loan bill finally
passed.
The Great Eastern Completed.
The completion of the mammoth steamship
Great Eastern was formally celebrated on the
eighty of August by a banquet on board the
vessel, which was attended by the most dis :
tinguished engineers and scientific men.
The engines, and both screw and paddle
wheels were set in motion for the first time,
and the result was satisfactory in the highest
degree and far beyond expectation.
Lord Stanly proposed a toast of success to
the Great Eastern, and painted in glowing
terms the marYels her success will accomplish.
Burnet, the engineer and Scott RUSSELL the
builder, were toasted, but the former was alb
sent from i'll health.
The ship presented beautiful and finished
e gsnppt bpiup almost ready for
Mexico and the United States.
The city articleot the London Times inregret
says in regard to the stipulations OF the treaty
alleged to have been arranged between Minis
ter Mclean and Juarez at Vera Cruz, that
Mexico will from the moment the treaty is
ratified virtually pass under American sway !;
that the result will be advantageous to Mexico
and the world generally but the extent to
which private rights will be respected or jeo
pardized is an anxious question. The Ameri-
can government is urged at every step to pro-
tect the interests of foreign bond holders.
