stances they adopted. That was nota pol-| sey framed for the occasion and merely be- aye war Was declared. It was a policy <r ‘+h, from the opportunities which had been afforded to us for a considerable time, we had deeply considered. That policy unanimously adopted ; that policy we have unanimously maintained ; and from | that policy we have never swerved. W hat ; then, was that policy? It was the policy of a conditional neutrality. (Cheers. ) Under the circumstances of the case we did not be- heve that it was for the honor or interest of England or Turkey that we should take part in the impending contest; but while we en- forced the neutrality which we were prepar- el to observe, we declared at the same time that that neutrality must cease if British in- terests were assailed or menaced. (Loud cheers.) Cosmopolitian critics, men who are the friends of every country save their own, (cheers and a laugh), have denounced this policy as a selfish policy. My Lord Mayor, it is a3 selfish as patriotism. (Cheers.) But it is the policy of Her Majesty's Govern- meut—a policy which they adopted from the first and whichithey have all along main- tained. They believe it is their duty to protect British interests abroad, and it is a policy which they believe the people of this country have sanctioned and adopted. (Cheers.) My Lord Mayor, there may have been many reasons which may have induced | us to adopt that poticy; but there was one, and a principal one, to which I will refer. | believe the policy of neutrality om the part of this country was not more for the benefit of England than it was for the benefit of Turkey. For some years it has been a dogma of diplomacy that Turkey wag a phrase and not a fact—that its Government was a phantom, that its people was effete, and that it was used merely as a means by statesmen to maintain a fictious balance of power and secure the peace of Europe. If that were the case a repetition, in the opinion of Her Majesty’s Government, of what oc- eurred in the Crimea would have been the test error. Ifa people is effete anda overnment is a mere fiction, why the soon- er it is proved in the eyes of the civilized world the better. (Cheers.) Well, you know that proof has been given upon these subjects during the last year. (Cheers.) You have listened to the modest and inter- esting speech of ~e representative of the Sultan this evening (cheers), and you must have felt while he was speaking that his Government aud his country have shown that vigor and that resource which shall prove that they hvve a right to be re- cognized among Sovereign Powers of Europe (Cheers.) The independence of Turkey was isubject of ridicule a year ago. The in- dependence of Turkey, whatever may be the fortunes of war,—and -war changes like the moon—the independence of Turkey is not doubted now, (Cheers.) It has been proved

was

by half a million of warriors, who have de-!

voted their lives to their country without pay and without reward. (Cheers.) My Lord Mayor, you may ask me fairly on an occassion like the present, or expect me without inquiry to tell you, what is the prospect of peace in the present state of affairs. That isa subject which interests every one, I may now say, in every quarter of the globe. (Cheers.) I do not take that desponding view which some do upon such subjects invariably. Iam encouraged not to take a desponding view, because I re- member what has been the conduct on prin- cipal occasions of the great and chief belli- gerents in this contest. I cannot forgea that the Emperor of Russia, with a mag- inanimty characteristic of his truly elevated character, announced, on the eve of com- mencing this war, that his only object was to secure the safety and happiness of the Christian subjects of the Porte (cheers and laughter) ; and that he pledged his Imperial word of honor on one occasion that he sought no increase of territory. (Cheers. ) [ cannot forget that his Highness the Sultan has declared in the most formal manner thathe is prepared to secure all those changes which will give to the Christian subjects of the Porte that safety and that Welfare which the Empire of Russia de- sires ; and, therefore, when I have these two statements of such high authority, made in a manner so solemn and so earnest by the to Sovereigns who are at this mo- ment in collision and in contest, I think I have a right to say that peace ought not to be an _ impossible achievement. (Cheers.) But then it is said there is a difficulty which prevents the Emperor of Russia and the Sultan of Turkey, though they are entirely agreed on every subject, from bringing about this peace which is desired. It is said that the military prestige of Russia demands the continuance of this war. Well, my Lord Mayor, there are different opinions upon the subject of military prestige. In my opinion military prestige does not depend upon'a single victory either way. A single Victory may depend upon chance and for- tune. It may even with the ablest com- nianders, depend upon transcient circum- stances which may not again arise. But the real foundation of military prestige is when a great country and a powerful Goy- ernment can command military service of “% nation brave, determined, and discip- lined. (Cheers.) And whatever may have been the accidents of the present war either Way, no one can surely say of the Russian soldier that he has not proved himself an euduring, a disciplined, and a most cour- “geous one. There have been feats of val- Our performed by him even in defeat which rarely have been equalled—as, for instance, when he scaled the fortifications of Plevna.

that under any circumstances the militar, prestige of Russia has been injured. You will say to ine, But have you really no hope?
