GREAT BRITA1N,-0n the Stb, the affairs of
Italy were debated in both houses of Parlia-
ment In the House Of Lords, the Marquis of
Normandy inquired if there was any objection
to produce the papers relative to the projects of
peace, transmitted to Austria before the Treaty
Of Villa Franco. He denounced the conduct of
the Government as one. sided, and eyincing no
desire to maintain neutrality.
Lord Woodhouse, in reply, reiterated the
statement that England sent terms of peace to
Austria at the request of France, but without
giving any advice or expressing an opinion on
the subject. He said it would be most incon.
venient to produce the documents, in the pres
ent state of the negotiations.
Earl Granville acknowledged the act of Lord
John Russell as the united act of the Cabinet.
In the House of Commons, Lord Elcbo
moved an address to the Queen, declaring that
it would be inconsistent with the honor and
dignity of England, after having preserved a
strict neutrality, to take part in any confer
ence for settling the details of peace, the pre-
liminaries of which had already been arranged
between the Emperors of Franco and Austria
Lord Elcho praised the neutral course of the
late government, and censured the anti
Austrian feeling evinced by the present
Cabinet.
Mr.. Kingare moved the previous question,
feeling that it would be unwise to bind the
government to any line of policy, regardless
Of changes which might take place at any
hour.
MIR. Gladstone said that tho electors motion
was not relative to the present position of af-
fairs. The government had no intention of
taking part in settling the details Of peace on
the basis of the Villa Franco treaty. The
belligerents themselves would settle those de :
tails, and what would remain to be settled =,
would be the great question of European
policy, in which he thought England should
play her traditional part. lie defended the
government. and called for decisive vote
against the resolution.
Fitzgerald said that the object of the resolu-
ton was to restrain the Government from car
rying out its personal sympathies, which were
inconsistent With the treaty obligations of the
country. Parliament sought not to sanction
the Government joining in the Congress with
out being informed of what the Great Powers
had agreed upon in regard to the subject.
Sidney Herbert argued that the neutrality
expired with the war, and that be saw no
reason why England could not consistently join
In the Congress.
Messrs. Horsman and Whteside spoke in
favor of the policy Of the Government.
Lord John Russell again proclaimed that the
Government had not the slightest intention to
60 into European Congress to settle the details
Of tho peace of Villa Franco; nobody ever in
vited them to do so. He admitted that there
were difficulties in tho way of the Government
entering in the Congress, and matters were in
that state that no determination had been
arrived at. He appealed to the House to leave
the question in the hands Of the Ministers, who
would decide when the whole facts of the case
were before them.
NJ. D'Isrsel warned tho Government of the
dangers to be incurred by entering the Con.
gress, but stated his objection to the House
coming to decision after hasty deliberation
and hoped that Lord Elcho would not press his
motion to a decision.
After some remarks from Lord Pamerston in
defense Of the course, and in denunciation OF
the resolution, Lord Elcbo said that he was
satisfied with tho administration made by the
Government, and the result of the debates, and
would not press his motion.
In the House of Lords, on the 9th, the sub.
ject OF the National Defenses was referred to-
Lord Kipgsdown contended that the army
and navy would never be on q satisfactory foot.
ing till the Government had the power of com.
pulsory service. The Earl of Pipon thought il
would be most injudicous to resort to compul.
sorry power, and pledged every effort of the
Government to make defense secure.
In the House of Commons, the East India
Loan Bill was finally passed.
The completion Of the steamship Grea
Eastern was formally celebrated on the 8th
by q banquet given on board, which was at.
tended by many members of both Houses Of
Parliament, and number of most distin-
guished engineers and scientific men. The
engines, both screw and paddle, were set in
motion for the first time, and the result was
satisfactory in the very highest degree, and
far beyond expectation.
Lord Stanley proposed the toast of, "Suc-
cess to the Great Eastern" and painted in
glowing terms the marvels her success will
accomplish. Mr.. Brunei, the engineer, and
Mr.. Scott, the builder, were toasted, but the
owner was absent from ill-health. The shir
presented q beautiful and finished aspect
being almost ready for sea.
The city article of the Times says in regard
to the stipulations of the treaty alleged tc
have been arranged between Ministe,
McLane and Juarez, at Vera Cruz; that Mex.
leo will, from the moment the treaty is rati
fed, virtually pass under American sway

ageous to Mexico and the world, but thinks
the extent to which private rights will be
respected or jeopardized, are anxious ques-
tions. The American Government is urged

eign stockholders.
