discussing the vague question of a general disarms merit ? The present difference arose from the indisp osition of Sardinia to disarm unless admitted to the Congress . As the force of Sardinia was so much less than that of Austria , the latter need not be alarmed , and England and France might set her at ease in this respect . No doubt , it might be said rthat Sardinia was not one of the great leading Powers of Europe ; but she was a member of the Conference at Paris , and she might be said to stand in an analogous position now . She was also one of the parties called upon to disarm , and if that question was to be discussed in the Congress she might say she had a right to be there and be a party to the Government would

He trusted that no be so blind to its duties , to itself , to its subjects , to Europe , and to mankind as . to enter into a war without necessity , which would be not merely a fault , but a crime . —Mr . T . Duncombk said the state of Italy was a disgrace to civilised Europe , and he wanted to know what hope there was for Italy in these negotiations . He insisted that Sardinia ought to be represented at the Congress . A crisis must come sooner or later in that country , and he hoped that England would hasten and co-operate in that eventuality . —Mr . Gladstone regretted that the meetings of the Congress Avere suspended while the different Government" : were disputing about details . When vast armies were kept almost in sight of one inflame

" & fy Lords and Gentlemen , " Her Majesty commands us to inform you that the appeal which she'is about to make to her people has been rendered necessary by the difficulties experienced in carrying on the public business of the country , as
indicated by the fact , that within little more than a year , two successive administrations have failed to retain the confidence of the House of Commons ; _ and her Majesty prays that , under the blessing of Divine Providence , the step which she is about to take may have the effect of facilitating the disc harge of her high functions , and of enabling her to conduct the government of the country under the advice of a ministry possessed of the confidence of her Parliarrient and ¦ hef people .

Parliament was then prorogued y Thursday , the 5 th of May . . In the House of Commoxs , . in reply to Mr . T . Duncombe , the CirAxcEtr . on of the Exchequer said her Majesty would be advised to dissolve Parliament on Saturday morning , so that the writs for a new Parliament might issue in the evening of that daj r . The House having been summoned to the House of Peers , Parliament was then and there prorogued by Commission .
another a casual spark might at any moment a general war . Two points had to be regarded , first , to maintain peace , and secondly , to place the pacific arrangements on such a basis as to ensure some relief to suffering humanity in Italy from the grievous yoke of . their native or foreign rulers . He also expressed his regret at the remarks of Mr . DiincOinbe , which , in his opinion , tended to widen inconveniently the field of discussion . Until he was aware that the policy of her Majesty ' s Government had taken a wrong turn he should be doing an injury by . adopting a tone of accusation . —After a few words from Mr , Co . KiKGiiAur , Lord J . Russell , said , but for a remark of Mr . Duncombe he should not have taken part in this discussion , because , first , he concurred in all that had fallen from . Lord
Palrnerston , and , seconAly , he felt deeply the responsibility attaching to everything which was said in that House , and feared he might drop a-word that , might impair the prospects of peace . As to the admission of Sardinia to the Congress , though the Government might be embarrassed by the proposal of Russia , acceded to by the Emperor of the French , he thought it would be conducive to the interests of peace to admit Sardinia to the Congress . As to the real points in dispute , the House had no
certain knowledge of the demands of the different Powers , and what were the real causes of the disagreement . As her Majesty ' s Government had not communicated them to the House , it would not be prudent to speculate upon them . lie could only say that , at all events , he hoped they would enter into , no engagements burdensome to the people of this country without the knowledge of Parliament ; The discussion was continued by Mr . Mir , Nrcs , General Thompson-, SirB . Wauih , Sir H . Vishnuv , and Sir II . Wiu . oi'Oimv .
The formal motion with which Mr . Disraeli had prefaced his speech was thon agreed to , and the subject dropped . Several bills , which stood for progress on the paper , having been withdrawn , Sir G . C . Luwis was . proceeding to move a resolution sotting forth that it is not competent to the Secretary of State for India , under the Act for the better government of India , to send orders and instructions through the secret department to the governments tind presidencies in India on any subject not being a matter concerning the levying war or making peace , or treating or negotiating with any of the native princes or statos in India .
