(Load aad continued cheer- ing LORD PALMERSION ON THE WAR. At the election for Tiverton on the 29tn ult., Lord Pal- merston, in alluding to our foreign relations, #a'd:— Gunriastex— There 1a another tupic conaected with pab. lic aflairs vo which the miads of all men are now directed With the most wtense aaxiety, und tnat ia whatl know Bot whether to cail the war which hus aiready broken out. We were told yesterday that warhai actnaily begua 1 am informed thet to day that 2 denied. [tis eud chat it bas not yet commenced. Ifearthat whether it did nap- fen three days ago or not, it will immediately ensue, aad Tat Europe wili again be eaposed to the calamities and devastation of a war between vast armioa and great aad powerful Stater; and tt will remain for tne goveramoat to show, whca Parliament moots, in what degres and by | what mmesny they ‘have used their eudoavors 10 pus a stop to this t catastrophe, and proverve to Ka rove the blessings of peacs. I Detievo that they boncetly meant to do so. I fear, howover, that it is in some measure from thelr want of ca- pacity to effect this result that their eaicavors have failed. They began to mediate without being officially ac | cepted as mediators by either ol the parties, Francs or | Abstria, between whom their mediation was to be car. ried out. A proposal for 2 congress was Substituted by Rusia or by France—some way the one, some say the Ouher-—instead of this meviation, The congrosa was clined by Austria except upon Conditions which tt was al sura te propose, Austria, we areintormed, required ag pretimivary to going inte the congress, that all the parties concerned should disarm. Woy, a disarmament is the reault of a Puccessfal congress, not ite bogianiug aad ante- cedeat. That was puttiog the cart before the horse (A laugh.) Why do men arm? To obtain soms object. They tacet to deliberate, in order to ses whether that ob- Jeet can be attained by peacefu' negotiation; bi: they will not naturally disarm uutil they know whether thelr object can be so recured, becaute ia their own minds that if nogotiations fail to ascomplisa for which they took up ther arma, those arms must be used for the purpsee of obtaraing by force what they have been unabie to get by pacific means. Therefore the demand of Austria that tho dis arming should prececo the negotiation was, {nu otber words, civilly saying that she declined a Coagress ato. getber. But if that demand was absnrd ta regard to Prance, it wns mort ungenerons fa regard to Sardivin; for what was it in effect that thoy proposed? They propysed (bat Sardinia should at ono» deprive herself of adequate means of resistance—that they should ooly with iraw their troops to other stations, 2ad thit thea, if tao avgo Sation failed—and it migbt fai at any time by tavir wish- drawing themaclvos from the Cougress—tnoy shoald be at liberty, in return for the disarming of Sardiala, to fall ‘upon her with their accum :}ated strength, tue latter being still weaker than she naturally wo, bave beon by tus disarmament which they had exacted from her as the pre- vious condition to the Congress. Well, tus maja question 1 believe to be one which Austria ought to hive setled peaceably, amicaly, and freely.
