ENGLAND AND FRANCE.

Russell, in the House of Commons, on Monday, the
Goth ult. The debate the annexation Of Savoy;
Mr. Horsman made violent speech against the policy
of Napoleon in concluding which he said that in viz
dication Of his right az member Of that House, he
declared the policy Of the Emperor in Italy, in Savoy
and Switzerland to be of deceit perfdy and njus
tice while he made tools Of the Ministers of Ea-
glard. Lord John Russell folio we'd, defending the
Ministry from the attacks of Mr. Hors map, but giving
in the painest manner opinion Of the Emperor as
follows:
81 do not wish to follow the right honorable gentle
man in his appreciation of the character of the EN-
peror OF the rench; but Ia obvious that the course
which has been pursued, as expected from the first
aud as frankly stated from the first TO the French
Government, has cansed great deal Of dstrust That
conduct taken together, has produced great mstrus
in this country and believe vii produce great mis-
trust all over Europe. Loud cheers. The right hon
orable gentleman, the member for Stroud, said we
might be quite that one wished &c go to war
about Savoy. If there had been entire liberty to
her Daiestys Government to negotiate this sab
ec although we certainly should have threatened
20 declare war; have pledged the country to do SO,
st If is different thing to cay that, whatever might
be y result II would not lead to warfare. My own
opinion is as declared in July and January ast and
which have DO objection TO declare now again. that
such act as tbs annexation of Savoy s one which
will lead nation warke the French to call on
its Government for smilar sets for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of
the country. lCheers Therefore, / do feel that,
however we may wish TO live on the most friendly
terms with the French Goyemment-and certainly
do wish So 70 Iive-we ought not 10 keep ourselves
apart from the ether nations of Europe. Loud
cheers But, wheIe after questions may arise, wa
must be ready to act with others, and 10 declare In the
most moderate terms, always in the most friendly
terms but sill firmly, that the settlement of Europe,
that the peace Of Europe, is matter dear to this
country and that the settlement Of that peace canao
be assured II it Is liable TO perpetual interruptions, II
constant fears, aud doubts and rupors cheers with
go ots1 Of with
spect to the union or junction Of this or other conn
tries-but the Powers Of europe, If they msa1 -
maintain that peace, must respect each others Sht'
mus, respect esch others limits; and endesyor TO
store, and not to disturb, the commercial confidence
which is the result of peace and tsnds to peace aad
which ultimately forms the hspSiness of nations.
Loud cheers.
THE PRESS on THE SUBJECT.
From The London Iines 25h sh
After the long suspense SIS to the intentions of France
and the fate of Savoy have the consolation OF ar
irving at historical certainty. 1t is that France has
deliberately acted in way which had we known 1t,
would have prevented the ratification OF the CONNER
cial Treaty. For this we have the testimony OF Ea-
glad, who continually challenged France in order to
clear her position and wipe away the suspicion o.
eennivsnce; and the still more unequivocal testimony
Of France who constantly refused to admit the design
Of annexation. We had suspicious and 1t was knoT n
that we had suspicious The moment those suspicious
had be en- been changed for certainty, there was no
doubt on either side that must stand aloof from
partner in her policy. The whole nadon-Govern-
ne1t Parliament ar Press-in duty bound not TO be
Ieess Of their honor Jealous for treaties, and per-
haps too enyous of rival, urged the question IN one
form or another. Fran3e was equally concerned TO
evade the scrutiny and for every phs,e of the ques-
ton had form of denial. She entered Italy only In
the interest Of the race she had no private engage
meDt with Sardinia; she disavowed all thought OF sg.
grsndizementi she DID not want Savoy France wonid
rot take il against its WILL or without consulting Ed
icEe, ibis series OF Jeeudstons has hardly been ex-
bansted when France tells Europe why she hss taken
pOsseseion OF Savoy. France, then, Sas done tnas
which sbe durst not ayow. There was at least Isk
that she would be interrupted IN her desleD as wen -
certeinty of her com Oercal negotiation coming to
sudden end if she could not battle II suspicion. ms
required net only dexteriy, but courage. Measured
as words ore measured betwesn Epgh: hmen, the En-
peIois depals conclusive and factory iney
were quite strong enough to throw upon rs the respon-
sibjllty of ruptuIe. Dir. HorsmsD and Mr. kinglake
msy say if they please, that it devolved upon u' 70
act upon a burning suspicion, and that we ouSnt 10
have obtained from France an express Remuneration OF
Savoy or refused 70 fatify the treaty. But no time
can be pamed when we could have done this without
assuming what bad no right to assume III the
Emperor Of the French chose 10 so on affirming his
innocence Of any sggrandizpg scheme, we 'nsa no
choice but TO tske bis word for II.
But il ie quite obvious that this is process which
does not admit of repetition else tbs whole world
would lie at the mercy Of the most unscrupulous
tongue. II has been duty TO take the Enpsrors
words in their simple and natural eenle, 1t mo- oar
duty to esm ate them by the light OF the past su1 To
take into account our suspicious and the reasons the
Emperor may have for not being plan.spoken. Should
be bencefOrth declare confidently aud ever 30
absolutely that he had inter ton whatever OF &C
curing such and such province that could easily be
named, we are justified in tupposDg soma reserve.
This IL not cordial understanding, and that indeed,
is no more 1t is true that we have had warnings Toe
succeesive steps by which Louis Napoleon assembled

declarations. When a word was wanted 1t was al way
foYtbco ming and when action was wanted the word
was forgotten Tbs, however, was an affair between
the Emperor and his people: Not 60 the annexation
of SAVOY and the denial OF that scheme. IL was be
