JSLicock . complained of the conduct of Ixftrd ¦ Stratford in not sending our Beets to the Black "Sea after tHe affair at Sinope , and lirged the drivrag of ; ^ Russians out of that sea .
Sir DbIiAcev Evans urged the withdrawal at this pressing emergency of the 47 , 000 troops vrhich ' were in otir colonies . After some remarks on similar topics by Mr . F . ' FpfcfiNcia : and Mi * . HavMkkd , at the request of Lord J . liussEti ,, the House "Xvent into supply on the Army Estimates , which THr . SiiiiTBY 'Hbrbest brought ifor \ v ^ rd , stating that the present estimate must not he -considered final ; the apparent increase was 10 , 000 men , hut the real increase was larger in consequence of the completion of the numbers of the colonial regiments , and , in fact , the increase was 11 , 000 men . The expense of the army had increased in
conse-M * . W . Wifiw ^ Bis moved that ^ he ^ moluniente of the coISBels-in-chief of ^ the G-ua , rds be placed on th& same footing as those of the colonels of regiments of the line-, but , after a shd # t conversation , he withdrew the motion . The Usual skipmishihgtook place oh-the items of the different Votes , but the whole were agreed to > the sum ¥ oted heitig 6 ; 287 , ^ 86 / . Sir J * itjB 8 ' GlBSA-HTaiLM then -Iftcmght forwurd the ^ avy ^ Estimates , which amotmtcd to 7 , 487 , 948 ? .. beinir
an increase on fdtmer Real's of 1 , 202 , 455 / ., which he stated would sttpply& 8 , 500 , wkile in 1848 and 1 « 49 , a sum . of eight n > iHioQ 8 -was voted to supply 'ionly 45 , 000-Hien . The roost f ndtieie&l > le" [ items were an increase in the >« ci ^ ntific "branch , of-which . 1000 / . was appropriated to the expanse 6 f nautical meteroldgieal surveys , on the plan of ^ Lieutenant UTanning , and 50 O 0 Z . for « h expedition into Central Africa , to eatplote the ' river T ^ chadda . He also announced that no farther expeditions would be sent to the Arctic-Regions .
Several votes trere "taken "before the House adjourned . In ihe Lords , Xord Bjeacmowt ^ brought forward a motioa in the following terms : " ^ Thatit appears from the documents which her Majesty has been graciously pleased to comniUBiGttte to this House , that the efforts of hetMajesty and of her alh ' es to ^ establish without rec 6 ur » e tostrms amieableKrelatiort « betweentheSublim& Porte ^ fttsd the Ewipcror of'Btkssia have bfeen tmr&-niittingj ihAt ^ t lalSo appears thrit * their efforts have ifaile ^' to . proiaiice-the desired effect , attd'that the ^ miperor of Russia edntinues to hold by force of arms two
dmpoTtant ? provinGe ' 8 of-the Ottoman Porte ; that it ia ^ therefore the opinion of-this SDouse that the honour iand fee « t interests sof this country lequire that immediate a ^ d ^ ffectuBlraeans ^ be'takto to repel the unjusti » ' nable « gg ^ pesiibttof ^ u 88 iaon the territory of the Sultan , mndthat the power and influence of this country should "be exerteia to ' . place the relations of the sublime ^ olte , itei | h the rest of ^ Eordpe , on such founaations as shall appear best calculated to secure > a desirable peace and Wffdrd the Ottoman empire a , fair opportunity of developing Its natural resources ,. and of proceeding with its-administrative reforms . "
DiMalttihg-any intention of re-opening the discus-BlcftL ' of ' * fdrm « r evening , he still asserted that it appeared 'Worn , tlfe papers'Mfbre the \ Hbitse "that the iGdv . € rHment had given tray to cfeaulity in believing the Wsuranc 6 s df " the Emperor of Russia . Anotherdefect in the conduct of the Government was that that they did not take care to ascertain the relative ipositiotts of Turkey and Russia , and were especially not aware of the resources and national position of the fbianeit ; ifor if ^ they bad , they would not have adopted so subaerrient a tone to ^ uesia ; and members of * the Cabinet would not have depreciated the notion of p " regerving * lier integrity and independence . He con'trasted ' the - speefeltes of members ' of the Gorernment at 6 ne tiiffej with their appeals now to the patriotism and public spirit of the people to resist tlie
aggression of Russia . -He then . proceeded to examine the conduct of Gove * teent , since the meeting of Parliament , on which ihe founded much of his motion . Whstt he expected , when it-v ^ as found that the last negotiation for peace had failed , was that the Government would haveeome ^ to Parliament with a declaration . Bnt , instead of that , they bad , in every way , evaded the question Whether we were at peace or at war . Being left in ignoran'ce of the state of things ,, he was justified in asking for information . He expressed a belief that the note resulting from the last conference at Vienna was stilL before the Czar , and if accepted by him , the Government -would act on the basis of that note ; and he protested against « uch an abortive termination to the dispute . He urged that the treaty of 1841 -would be the proper basis of future conventions .
The Earl of CL * aEtfdon'rested the defence of the Government on the results which now appeared to be the isolation of Russia and the union of England , France , Austria , and Prussia , and war would be commenced under modt favourable circumstances , being supported by public opinion all over the continent as well as in this country . This had been caused by the patient negotiation and forbearance , and was of itself a refutation of the charge of credulity or connivance on tlie part of the Government . As to the
impatience for a formal declaration of war which had been expressed , he admitted that the event of war seemed inevitable , and he urged that as England did not stand alone , but acted with and for others , she must not act with precipitancy . He expressed an opinion that all future treaties which should be the result of peace should be so framed as to define the position of Russia and Turkey , and to put an end to tlio aggression of Russia , and secure Turkey her proper place in the great comity of nations .
After the Earl of Mouninoton and Lord Lyttelton had spoken , The JVIarquis of C ^ anrioxiuje delivered a speech which did not differ materaljy from those lie had made before on the subject ; his only new point b < iing , that wo had sent out a large force for w « r piVposes without a measago from the Crown , which wae against precedent , to winch-
quence of the price of provisions and new establishments , but the greatest economy had been used . Notwithstanding the increase in the army , the sum to be voted for the year was only greater by 270 , 000 / . than that of last year . He then showed the grea $ advance which had been made In the instruction of the soldier . Attempts would be made to improve military surgery , and the knowledge " ~ of the medical men of the army in diseases peculiar to unhealthy and tropical climates . A system of reward had been substituted in the army for punishment in the maintenanan . ee of discipline and encouragement to good conduct with
great success . He stated that the establishment at Hythe for the practice of the Minie rifle had been most successful , the men being excellent marksmen . There would be a gradual Avithdrawal of our forces from the colonies , that withdrawal having already begun . A commissioa was about to be appointed to inquire into the subject of promotion , and endeavours would be made so to regulate it as to bring younger men into commands than was at present the case . This was not a war estimate , but he feared that before long he should ho obliged to bring forward a supplementary estimate which -would be decidedly a war estimate . He moved that the number of men should be 112 , 977 men .
After a discussion of ( he usual desultory kind , the vote foT the number of men was taken . On the next vote , Mr . Hume , though always an advocate for the smallest possible number of men in the army , was yet always also desirous of their being kept in a most efficient stntc ; nnd he congratulated the Government on the state in which the army now was , and even expressed his " delight" at the able administration of military affairs which now existed .
