THE SAVOY QUESTION. Inn portant Debates in the British Parlia- ment on the Sabject-The New Commer- i Treaty and the Amnexation Ques tion. In the Heuseof Commons, on Monitay, March 5, Lord Palmerston moved the postponement of the other orders of the day until Mr. Byog had moved an address to the Crown on the commercial treaty with France, and appealed to Mr. Lincsay to defer bis notice relating to British ebipping ip connection with the French troaty until after tbe address had been od to. r. Lincxay declined to give any pledge upon the sub- Jeet, and objected to proceeding with the debate on the ad dress before the terme of the address were in the hands of members. Mr. Kinglake opnoced the motion. The treaty with France set out with stating that the object of the coutract- vg parties was to draw closer the ties of frien iship which United the two peoples; and he contended that it would be tritling with that important question if they now went into the censideration of the commercial treaty without haying A more accurate knowledge than they at present possess: ed of Ane ye Se agg hp aubsisted be. tween moe alan ¢ Emperor's recent speech, indeed, to far as he could understand its ambiguous phraseology, seemed to place the empireof France ina & Vso f cos goneses ttle country, by asserting a right to voy, and setting up the principle of natural boundarizs.

It might be that we hao spoken to weakly on this surject, and that men of more ability or more anitoated spirit might have been able, by the vse of other language, to have deterred the Fmperor af the French from proceeding in auy way to tbis annexation; aud those who succeaded in persuadiog the bonse that euch was the case, might properly take tho offices of thoee who have conducted the negotiations hith- erto, and proceed in their own way, to en’orce their o¥n views. That would be @ legitimate and cons'itutional mode of proceeding (hear.) But there ts one course which ia neither consistent with the constituti nel pro- ceedings of the House, nor with the ordinary contidesce which is usually placed in the government, aud which above all, is uot coaristent with amicab.o feelings bet ween ‘his country and France; and thst is, renewing ‘ay afer day irritating discussions, putting forward particular parts of incidents that have happened, owking for no particular vote, proposing po definite resolution, but al ways pointing out the pergon whom the French people, by immense ma joritics, have chosen to rule over them aga ruler whom We must distrust, and agalust whom we ought w be por- petually prepared, in order at iesst to bring about a total ‘¢ of amicable relations between the two co intries. ‘t the course which some honorable members have pursued, and J must ask them to come to some detlaite reeclution a8 to what they themselves intend by their speech (Bear, hear.) 1 must again state what hap- pened. appears there were discastions bet weou Fraace nd Sardinia, when other measures were concerted be- tween them, with regard to the defence of Sardinia Qgaipst Anstria, and with respect to Austrian ag- gression against Sardinia, aud that some ques- Uon was raised or that some conversation took place on the subject of the afineration of Savoy.

Taat arrsogement did not please the people of Italy. Waea that result was tolerably clear, the Emperor sail, tust that being the case, it was desirable for the security of France that be should have the elopes of the Alps to worde France ag a frontier. (m% that question Her Majes- ty's government differed in opinion vith the Emperor af France. For my own part, Tcan say that I never concealed our opinions on that pareit from the Emperor of France. 1 did not fail in telling him frankly avd plainly what our opinions were as to the annexation, and what consequences we feared would follow to Earope from that anvexation. After that the Emperor declared to her Malesty’s am- Daseador, ae well as by the mouth of his minister, that he sould nat proceed to annex Savoy without consulting all the great Powers of Europe. It was feared that it might be done by a sudden military occupation of the capital of Sardinia and of the’ passages of the Alps, but tho Emge- ror declared in the fece of Europe that he would not pro- ceed In such a manner. Those other Powers to whom reference was made have not as yet been consulted, but we have told them frankly our sentiments, and ia a man- per than which nothing can be more strong or more direct. ‘Tbe question as to the way in which these Pow- ers will be consulted is still uadecited. Will they be to- Vited to state their opipions to the Emperor, and will they speak ont it they entertain objectiens to the scheme? Hitherto they have not done #0. The opinion of the British ‘government, of the itish Parliament and of the British ple is ell known, and there cannot be a doubt as to their sentiments on the subject of annexation. Jt is my persuasion, tf cir- cumstances do net occur to render void my prophecy, that ¥ the languoge of disapproval be heard fram Berlin, Viennt and St. Peversinrg, this projec: of annexation will not he revved in. Oae of the Powers most interested in the ‘question is the King of Sardinia, and be has not yet de- clared bis opinion upon it. Two despatches have appear- ed, containing project for the settlement of Italy, sug- geated by the Emperor of France, one of them ending with stating that if the project were adopted, it would be necessary for the security of France to aunex Savoy. ‘That coccerns Sardinia more than any other Power, and accordingly the Sardiuian government has given an answer with respect to the Italian project; but with re- gard to the annexation of Savoy, Count Cavour states that be will make it the subject of a separate despatch, to be communicated to the French governmet. The Power moat intercsted no! baving i decidet how it shall act, and the great Powerg of Europe belo im the same situation, think we should take care a not not come to & precipitate resolution on the question. (Hear, hear). Bat whatever may de said with respect to woy, I willagsert that the treaty of commerce, which has obtained our approbation, will draw closer the ties of friendship between the two countries—will increase the dndustry of both nations—and, by giving agreater number of people in England aad in France an interest in the blessings of peace, will delay, and perbaps prevent, the caiamity of war, which every statesman in Europe ought to ure his utmost endeavor to prevent. (Hear, hear). With this conviction, I aball be ready to give my earnest support to the motion of the honorabie member for Middlesex. 1 trust, when it comes before ua, that we shal) consicer the question of the commercial treaty as the main subject for our deliberation. (Hoar, hear). Ia there anything in this question of Savoy which should prevent us drawing closcr the commercial ties between the two countries? I believe there is not. I can- not understand the opinions of the honorable and learned member for Saefficid on this gubject, bo- cause I cannot conceive anything more likely to defeat our object than invectives against the Emperor of the French. The honorable and learned gentloman, and thore on the other side, ought not to confine thomselyes to general torms in thelr denunciations of our policy, but should give notice of a definite motion on the subject after the questions relating to coals and cottons have been dis- posed of. The honorable member for Horsham talked of our making ® solema protest, but if the Powers of Europe are to make a solemn protest, what does {t mean in such case but sayipg to France, ‘Accept our resolution, and we remain friendly. Refuse tt, and war must follow?” J cannot imagine the Powers of Europe going with a solemn Protest to France, and being contented with a total refusal. Such a course is not likely to load to peace, or to the ob- ject which the honorable gentleman has in view. Ido vot find that when the honorable gentleman was in office any great concern was felt on this question. I believe Lord Malmesbury was informed that a story was going about of an agreement between France and Sardinia for the annex- ation of Savoy to France. Lord Malmesbury directed Lord Cowley to make inquiries on the subject, but be mixed it u; with other questions. Lord Cowley saw Count Walo wach, made If Lord Malmesbury had been subject, he would have written to exprogs bh dis- Satisfaction, and to request Lord Cowley again to. question Count Walewski upon it. When I came into office Lor’ Cowley informed me that he bad had an unsatisfactory interview with Count Walewski, and I asked him to see him again. It seems to me that this extreme zeal on the part ot the honorable member for Horsham—a new bora zeal, because be showed nono of it when in otfice—~goes beyond what is just, end tends to endanger peaceable re- lations between this counyry and France. (Hear, hear. 1 wish to maintain the honor and dignity of the Queen ani of the Parliament of this country; but it does not seem to me that this is to be dono by constant Irritating discussions or by imputations against the good faith of our ally.

J listened with delight, the other evening to the epeech of the honorabie baronet the member for Tam- worth. For my own part, I do object to theee teasing and, futile discussions on the subject, inasmuch as they add nothing to the dignity of the House and nothing to the se- curity of the two nations, (Cheers.

The Duke of Newossriz—I beve no difficalty to au- awerirg the question of my noble friend. The views of hor Majesty’s government in respect to the propused annexs- tion of Sardinia have been communicated to the three go- vernments of Ruseia, Prussia and Austria. The form in which those comuaications have beeu made has been to send to those Powers the despatches written by Lord John Roegell to Lord Cowley, which appear inthe papers laid before Parliament, and to send at the same time other des. patches reocived from Lord Cowley apd one from Sir James Hudson, which have also been pubished. As the time, the dates of the despatches to which [ have re- ferred are the 28th of January and the 13th of February. ‘The communication to Berlin and Vienna was on the 17th of Febr and to &. Petersburg on the 25th of the same mont As to whether we have invited the co operation of these Powers tn a protest against the anwzation of Savoy, have to say that no spect fic iom of that kind has been made. My voble friend would appear to have indicated his wieh to see something im the nature of a counter-al- iarce formed, but there has never been any intention of the sort. “If be refera to the despatohes on the table, thoy will show him and the public that the Powers to whom theee communications were addressed can be under no difficulty m ascertaining the strong view which Her Ma- Jeety's government entertain on this subject. ‘The Fant of Dervy—I have, also, a question to put to the nobie duke on this subject. Upoa examination of the papers, it appears there was & despatch received from ‘Lord Cowley on the 26th of Febraary, in which he refers to his having been written to by Lord Jobn Rassell the day before on the sub- ject the of annexation; but no despatch from the ‘noble lord of that date is to be found ia the papers. I see ‘there is another communication on the subject of the aa- nexation of the game date, but it apooars to have been received before. It is possible the mistake may have arisen tn that way, but I should be glad to kaow whether there is any other despatch of that date The Dake of Newcasris—There has deen no mistake of the kind the neble earl supposes The despatch to which the noble earl refers cid not appear ta baat any partica- iar importance, but there is pot the smallest objection to produce tt. and my noble friend the Vader Sscretary for Forcign Affairs hag it in bis hand at this moment ready to Isy cp the table. Tn the House of Commons, March 6, Mr. Kivataxs gave notice thaton Monday next he should move “That an humbiec addrees be presented to her Majesty, tuanking her Majesty for having caused to be provaced to this House the ‘Correspondence respecting the proposed an- nexation of Savoy aod Nice to Franoe;’ the ‘Trea- ties of peace and amity,’ and the ‘Treative of alliance and friendsbip,’ presented to this House pursuaot co the acdrees of the 16th of February Jast; for ‘Ex iracts of the treaties by which her Majesty ia engaged to matutain in force any stipulations concerning the froa- tiers of France,’ and expressing to her Majeely the deep concern w'th which this House has heard of the contem- lated annexation of Savoy and Nice to the empire of Braves, ard assuring hor Majesty of the satisfaction with which this House would learn that her Majcaty had in- vited the other Powers who were parties to the above- mentioned *Treaties of alliance sad friendship’ to join with her Majesty in endeavoring to avert the realization of a project which has excited distrust and alarm in Europe.”” Aforwards, Sir J. Warsn asked whether the govern ment would bave avy objection to Iay on the table any additional despatches respecting the contemplated annex. ation of Savoy and Nice to France, that had been re- ceived sinos those alreacy produced. Lord J. Russmu. thought it very inconveniont that qnea- tions relating to foreign affairs were continually asked without any notice. He was not at that moment pre- pared saad what further despatches would be isia on the table, Interesting from Austria, ‘The official Vienua Gazette pubtishes an imperial patent containing the new orgtalzation of the Imperial Council pte eect which is to forma central organ for the ‘liberation of matters conceruing tho general interest of the empire.
