HC Deb 22 July 1878 vol 241 cc2049-50
DR. KENEALY

gave Notice that he would move, as an Amendment to the Resolutions of the noble Lord the Member for the Radnor Boroughs— That this House is satisfied with the policy pursued by Her Majesty's Plenipotentiaries at the Berlin Congress, and now feels called upon to condemn the agitation which encouraged Russia into an attack upon the Ottoman Empire, thereby seriously interfering with the balance of power in Europe and the interests of peace and commerce throughout the world.

MR. PLUNKET

gave Notice that he would move an Amendment to the Resolutions of the noble Lord the Member for the Radnor Boroughs, to leave out all after the word "That," in order to insert the words— An humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, thanking Her Majesty for communicating to this House the Treaty of Berlin, the Protocols of the Congress of Berlin, and the Convention between Great Britain and Turkey; assuring Her Majesty that this House has learnt with deep satisfaction the termination of the late unhappy War, and the conclusion of a Treaty between the Great Powers of Europe; and expressing an earnest hope that the arrangements made and sanctioned by Her Majesty's Government may, under the blessing of Providence, avail to preserve Peace, to ameliorate the condition of large populations in the East, and to maintain the interests of this Empire.
