 resolved to abandon privateering as a provision of

 the Marquis of Normandy inquired if there was 

 any objection to produce the papers relative to Ibe 

 project of peace, transmitted to Austria before the 

 treaty of Villafranca. He denounced the conduct 

 of tbe government as one-sided, and as evincing 

 no desire to maintain neutrality. Lord Wood- 

 house, in reply, reiterated the statement that Eng- 

 land sent terms of peace to Austria at the request 

 of France, but without giving any advice or ex- 

 pressing an opinion on the subject. Ho said it

In tbo Douse of Commons, Lord Efcho moved 

 an address to the Queen, declaring that it would

 details of the peace, tbe preliminaries of which

The govornment had no intention of taking part 

 in settling the details of the peace on the basis of 

 the Villafranca treaty- The belligerents t 

 selves would settle those details, and what would 

 remain to be settled would be tbe great question 

 of European policy, in which he thought England 

 should play her traditional pari. He defended the 



the resolution. Lord John Russell again pro- 

 claimed that the government had not the slightest 

 intention to go into a European Congress to settle 

 the details of the peace of Villafranca. Nobody 

 ever invited them to do so. lie admitted that 

 there were difficulties in the way of the govern- 

 ment entering in the Congress, and matters ivert 

 in that state that no determination hud been come
