On the 2Sth
Lord John Russell made his statement rel
ative to foreign affairs.
lie was glad to see is the Moniteur that the
Emperor of France las. determined to place
the army and navy on peace footing. after
reviewing the grounds of peace as proclaimed
by the two Emperors. He said, as ENGLAND
did not interfere in the war, he did not think
it was for her to interfere in the peace. The
sacrifice of a province in Austria did not af.
feet the state of affairs of Europe sufficiently
to warrant the interference of the neutral now
erS.
The most important part of the treaty,
however, related to the future of Italy, and
the invitation of the Emperor Napoleon to
England to enter the congress was to consult
ON the actual state of affairs in italy, quite ir-
respective of the terms of Villafranca. Eng
land had not consented to- join the congress,
and could not until they saw the result of the
conference at Zurich.
He believed that the Emperor of Austria
desired that the Italians should have selfgoy-
ernment. He could not now say whether
there would be congress, but he thought it
would not become England now to say that
she would withdraw from such an assembly if
there was chance of promoting tho liberty
of Italy, and establishing the peace of Eu-
rope.
Mr.. Disraeli expressed the wish that Lord
John Russell had been more explicit, particu-
larly as to any terms that may have been Of

iterated his obligation to England having any,
thing to do with the conference, as she would
thereby be bound by the treaty of Villafran-
ca.
Lord Palmerston denied that England had
submitted any terms to Austria which were
less favorable than those obtained from France
The government, at the request of the French
ambassador, consented to be the channel of
communication, and submitted some terms to
Austria, but at the time distinctly stating they
were the views Of the French government,
and that England gave no advice or opinion
IN the matter. 1t would be impossible for the
government to join in the congress until the
result OF the Zurich conference was known.
Mr. Whiteside said the government had
been made a cats paw of, and by transmit
ting terms to Austria, virtually assented to
them.

Mr.. Horsman moved resolution that the
expenses of completing the works of defence
be met by fund specially provided for the

Gated the idea of invasion by France. He
