House OF Lords.
LONDON, May SIst.-In the House of Lords this
evening, Earl Russell asked that the correspondence
between Great Britain and the continental powers
arising out Of the ALARM be laid before the
House.
The Earl Of Derby replied that he sympathized
with the curiosity Of those who had watched the
Of foreign affairs for the last few weeks. Govern
ment desired to conceal nothing it bad DONE but it
would be impossible to give a full account without
largely using confidential communications relative to
the opinions Of other Governments who would object
to such disclosure. disqualification oftbese commuui-
cations would prevent English diplomatists from
receiving information in future, and to submit a
multilated correspondence might misead the House.

France contemplated renewal Of the war. France,
after her humiliations, naturally desired have

considered herself entitled. One of the difficulties
was that France was unable to conceive that the
German apprehensOns were genuine They regarded
the representations made by many as pretext for
fresh war, and it seemed her Majestys Government

lead to grave consequences for Germany. The step
might have been formal request for France to dis
continue her armament, while France would probably
hasten it, and thereby confirm the suspicious of
Germany. The existence of this mutual distrust
afforded good opportunity to oferthe friendly Offices
of England, and Russia things in the same light
and the visit of the Emperor Alexander Berlin sup
piled means of supporting highlands representations
Lord Derby concluded by declaring England had done
her duty without sacrifice of the past, present or
prospective. She had entered into engagement,
and made pledges but her policy of nOnnterven-
ton did not mean indifference to the peace of Europe
