THE ENGLISH PEERS ON THE AFFAIRS OF
In the House of Lords, on the 18TH inst. Earl OF
| Granville appealed to Lord Malmesbury, who
| had n motion on the paper for the production OF
Count Cavours circular of the l4th and 18th June,
TO postpone entering into any discussion respecting
the affairs of Italy at the present moment. He
trusted also that the Marquis OF Normandy. who

no objection to produce the document to which his
notice related, namely Lord J. Russells despatch
| TO Sir James Hudson, on the subject of the alleged
annexation Of the duchies Of central Italy By the
government of Piedmont. The government had
received information that peace had been con-
cluded between Austria and France; but they were
not acquainted with the terms, and 1t was therefore
most desirable that there should be no discussion
at present upon foreign affairs.
The Earl of MALMEsBURy said he willingly ac-
anxious to do nothing that might embarrass the
government. At the same time he had come down
to the House fully prepared to refute the alega-
tons contained in Count Cavour's circular by a

Sardinia and he would therefore do no more
than protest against the statements contained in
his circular, leaving them open for discussion

inconvenient as general rule as some noble
Lords appeared to think. When he was at the
head Of the Foreign Office he should have been

Parliament, the nature Of the policy of the

Country would undergo fail pdi discussion, in
order that the government might ascertain
the true feeling OF Parliament and the country. On
the other hand as there was neutrality in peace
well as III war, it was desirable that it should be
fully understood before Parliament separated what
the extent Of the interference of the government in
foreign questions was likely to be.
The Marquis of NORMANDY said that after the APP
peal of Lord Granville he would say nothing that
was likely to give rise to debate, but at the same
time he was anxious to put on record the great salts
faction with which he had read the language usedby
her Majestys government in discouraging that sys-
tenn Of appropriation recommended by the minister
who had Just Quilted the service of the King of
Sardinia. He had no objection to postpone the OBJ.
servations which he had intended to make upon
Count Cavours circulars, but he thought they ought
not for ever to pass unnoticed inasmuch as they
| contained suppresstO oere beyond anything he
had ever read in documents of similar character.
In particular the conduct of Count Cavour towards
the Duches of Parma was most disgraceful.
Earl GRANVILLE felt greatly obliged at the readi
ness With which his noble friend complied with his
request; but, in order that he might not be misun
derstood he wished to say that nothing was further
from his intention than to suggest that it unde
sirable as generarule to discuss matters of foreign
policy in their ordGps h ,Sa On The oonssra
lament should be fully expressed though no doubt
there were occasions when difficulties might be
created by a premature discussion. At this mo-
ment debate upon the affairs of Italy would not
only be announcement to the public service but must
necessarily proceed upon most imperfect informa
ton.
The Marquis of CLANRIcARDE thought there had
been occasions when full discussion in Parliament
would have prevented war.
Lord BRoUGHAM, referring to the fact that the
important dispatches from the seat of war had not
been transmitted 10 the French gouernraent, ont to
the Empress, SAID 1t acas most melancholy that The
fate Of a country and questions of peace and
acar, should depend on the ,ciH of a sovereign

Earl GRANVILLE said that the only information
received by the government was that convention
had been drawn up between the Emperors Of
France and Austria which was to form the basis Of

LORD EBURY deprecated any interference on the
part OF this country in the affairs of foreg n Powers
He thought 1t would be much more becoming to
! our dignity that we should reserve our interfe
! renee until our advice was asked for.
The DUKE OF RUTLAND agreed with Lord Ebury
THAT, as general rule. our policy ought to be
! of nonintererence.
| Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE cOncurred in the
opinion that interference on the part of this
try in the affairs Of foreign nations might easily be
| carried too far, as we had had abundant proof in
! the disputes with the late King of Naples. In that
! case We took course which offended the dignity
! OF monarch with whom we were in alliance, and
the consequence was that our advice was treated
with contempt; whereas il we had pursued
different course, a much more satisfactory result
| might have been arrived at. With regard to the
circulars Of Count Cavour, he concurred in the
opinion which had been expressed--that they con-
| tanned allegations which were totally opposed to
the truth; and he thought the Grand Duke of Tus-
| cany, upon a recent occasion, when Count Cavour
had employed himself while upon visit in the
duchy in stirring up the revolutionary party, would
have been perfectly justified If he had hung the
Minister at his own door. He firmly believed that
such would have been the fate Of any foreign minis
ter who had acted in similar way during the time
| when Oliver Cromwell governed this country.
