House Of Commons. Mr. M. Milnbs Drew Att...
HOUSE OF COMMONS . Mr . M . Milnbs drew attention to the recent appointment of consuls arid vice-consuls for Japan , and . complained that CaptainVyse had been appointed , to the prejudice of persons better fitted by study and experience , to the post . Mr . Fitzgerald defended the appointment ,, and asseirted that Government had only been actuated by the desire to appoint the person best qualified to support the interests of the country . After a few words from Lord Palm ehsto sj , the subject dropped . CONTINENTAL AFFAIRS . Viscount Palmerston then rose , first disclaiming being actuated by factious motives . He wished to ask what prospects the Government , could holdout respecting the state of affairs on the Continent 1 After briefly alluding to the warlike symptoms which had excited alarm and disquietude in the public mind throughout Europe , he remarked ^ -but without intending to attach censure to the remark—on . the silence Ministers had so long preserved upon the subject of peace or war . He hpped , however , that . Government would be able , to hold but fair prospects of the preservation of peace . But , if not , itwas , he considered , better that the truth should be told and known at once . To be forewarned was to be forearmed , and the country ought to be made acquainted With the real" meaning and probable
consequences of the enormous military preparations now making abroad j and especially in France . There had occurred to his' knowledge no ostensible ground of difference between any of the .. great powers of Europe . Was there , then , any intention in any quarter to violate the existing treaties and commit an act of wanton aggression upon neighbouring countries ? He would not " believe that France contemplated such an outrage . Whether under a monarchy , a republic , or an empire , that country had always shown the most perfect good faith in the observance of treaties . From Austria also no infringement of the established compact was to be apprehended , nor would any danger be found on the side of Sardinia , Russia , or Prussia ; There was , In fact , no cjiuse of anxiety or source- of disturbance , except such as could be' found in Central Italy . A
anything more specifically . He Would remind the House that speeches from [ Legislators here were closely scanned on the continent . He hoped , therefore , he should be permitted to press on the House the expediency of postponing discussion on this most ^ important subfect . He would assure the House , that the conduct of Government would be such as would be consistent with the dignity and honour of the country—( cheers ) . Lord John Russell was clad to hear that Government was induced to use its influence , and to tender their advice in the emergency which had arisen . He was also rejoiced to hear that Lord Cowley had been selected to go to Vienna to effect a pacific solution-of between and Austria
present complications France . There was another country about which he wished to make one observation . He had frequently ^ called the attention of the House to the state of Italy—a state which , if not altered , must constantly tend to endanger the peace of Europe . He believed it war arose , whether on the part of the people ot Italy alone , or with the assistance of some great power , nothing would be so advantageous as a peaceful settlement by the aid of friendly powers . He thought it would be advisable for the great powers of Europe to settle their differences peacefully . He should recommend that the present discussion went no further . — Here the discussion closed , but Mr . Williams haying risen , the laughter was so loud that he sat down again .
NAVY ESTIMATES . Sir J . Pakington then rose to make his statement with reference the navy . He considered that a graver duty than ordinary devolved on him in proposing the estimates . The estimates for this year would be £ 9 , 813 , 181 , which was an increase on the estimate or last year of about £ 1 , 000 , 000 . He would explain the reason of the increase before he sat down . In 1835 the estimates were riot above 4 J millions , but then the navy had been reduced to a lower state than was consistent with the safety of the public service . From year to year acRlitions were made , until , in , 1848 , the amount -was
6 millions . From 1852 to 1859 a further increase had taken place , until the amount had reached the sum he now asked . The war with Russia had necessitated an expenditure on the navy , and npw there was a necessity of putting the navy on an efficient footings so as to embrace all the recent improvements , and , make . it sufficient for the defence of the country and her , varied interests . The right hon . gentleman then went into a minute statement of the present deficiencies . of the navy , and the means by which he proposed to remed y those deficiencies . ( left sitting ) .
temporary state of things had existed in that quarter for eleven years . It was time that this anomalous condition of affairs should be superseded by some permanent arrangement , and for the attainment of this object he could suggest no better means than would be found in some voluntary abandonment of their present military occupation of the Italian States , both by France and Austria . It was said that the native Governments , and particularly the Papal States , would be unable to resist ; the attempts of domestic insurrectionists if deprived of foreign support . To this he replied that the best remedy would be provided bv improving their domestic administration . Instead of depending upon , strangers to put out conflagrations , they should establish an efficient fire brigade on their own premises ( laughter ) . To this result he thought the policy of England should
be directed- He would therefore give his advice to the Government to interfere , so far as to propose to Austria and France to evacuate the Roman States ^ Wh ether the effort were successful or not , at least the British' Government would have done its duty . In the interests of pence he made this appeal to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to interfere j and he assured the right hon . gentleman that there was no desire on his part to embarrass the Government , and he hoped , therefore , bis advice would be received in the same spirit in which it was tendered . He hoped his obeervdt | ons would draw something ; from the right hon . gentleman which would be reassuring- to the country . We believed every member of tbat House—every man in the country—wished for pence ( cheers )— -not because of any danger war would bring to the country , but because they wished to go on In that course of progress which
peace alone could promote ( loud . cheers ) . The Chancellor of the Exchequer acquitted the noble lord of the suspicion of being actuated in Ids , speech by any party feeling . The state of affqirs on the Continent fully justified the noble lord in the course he had taken .. It was notorious that great military preparations were talcing' place on the Continent , ana especially In the cose of two leading powers . These circumstances Ailjly justified the noble lord in the course ho had taken . Tine settlement of 1815 must be regarded , nod he believed it was not the wish of the Continental powers to disturb that settlement . And yet there , were questions abroad that might possibly result in war , without , however , in the end Inter *
foring with the settlement of 1 » 16 . While matters had been so stirring on the Continent , the , British Government had not been inactive . The Government had offered counsel to the powers of Europe , and at the same time they maintained friendly relations with all of them . The noble lord had asked if Government had any communication to make on the subject ) , ' and ndded If auch , communication were Inconvenient lio would not ; press for it . He had % \\ n satisfaction of Informing the Houeo , thatGlovprnmont had , received n communication , which , induced them to bellove that the Roman States would bo evacuated by the French and Austrian troops , . with the concurrence of the Papal Government ( ahcers ) . I < ord Cowley had repaired to Vienna on a mission of jpeaco and conciliation ; he could not , howover , state
France. A Letter From Paris, Dated Last ...
FRANCE . A letter from Paris , dated last night , says that there was much discontent displayed in the Senate with regard to tjie dotation which it has been directed to vote for tlie Prince Napoleon . Many of the Senators , and among them some of the Ministers , would , if they dared , place on record their disapproval of the conduct of his Imperial Highness with reference to the great question of the day A jointure of 2 OQ , O 00 f . a year in case of her becoming a widow is . secured to the Princess Clotilde , besides a suita ^ ble habitation . AUSTRIA AND ROME . "The Austrian * Government , " says the Avgfibiurg Gazette , ' < has obtained from the Hol y See a promise that Cardinal Brunelli shall proceed to Paris to request the French Government to state in clear and precise terms the reforms which it wishes to see introduced in the States of the Church . As regards the occupation of those States , the Austrian Government , as already stated , ' is ready to withdraw its troops from Bologna and Ancona ? as soon as the French troops shall evacuate Rome and Civita Vecchia . But it will not in any case abandon its right to occupy Fcrrani , Commachio , and Plncentia , in conformity with treaties . Such is "the spirit « f a communication which tlie Imperial Government has sent to different courts , and it is the basis of nn arrangement which it is desired to bring about between France and Austria . THE FEDERAL DIET OF GERMANY . The Second Chamber of Hanover has unanimously resolved upon requesting Government t ; o obtain from the Federal Diet resolutions calculated , by their una--ninety and energetic execution , to avert the threatening 1 daiiffer of war , but , if necessary , to repel , with united federal power , attacks on Austria or Germany .
