Majesty and the other high , contracting Powers to negotiate in favour of com - merce , not only- to advance the common interests of all ,

    but likewise to , make the peace permanent . " Lprd Paxmkbston observed , that it was satisfactory to the Gpvernmejnt * thf »^ hqw ^ ver various the Opinions wliich had been expressed by different members of the H 6 use as to the different subjects . under discussion , nobody had felt . such a strong objection to the Address as to place it in the form of an amendment on which he was desirous to take the sense of the < House . For himself , ho was surprised tha ^ Lord Jqhn Manners should have admitted that the Treaty had accomplished the objects of the war in , regard to European , ! Turkey , and yet . should have characterized certain proceedings of- the Government as base and dishonourable . If this were so j he ought to have called for the opinion'of the House upon an

    amended Address . Tho . noble lord had asserted that considerable danger would result from the Russians being allowed to rebuild certain , forts on the' eastern coast of the Black Sea , and from the independence of Circassia not being , stipulated for . Why , then , did ho not movo that the war ought to have boon continued till thoso objects , had been accomplished ? But the noble lord knew , top well the feeling of the House and of the country to stake his reputation on such . a proposition . The House would no doubt declare by a large ' majority that the tornia of Peace are satisfactory , and the nation has already satisfied itself that the objects of the war have been accomplished . As regards Nfcholajoff , it was quite impossible that wo could require its destruction : euoh a demand would have been
