§ LORD ELCHOSir, I wish to give notice that next Tuesday week I shall move the following Resolution:—
That, in the opinion of this House, the correspondence respecting the affairs of Italy, which has been lately laid before Parliament, shows that the late Government have perseveringly directed their efforts towards the maintenance of peace and an amicable settlement of the differences between the contending powers, and that while they have preserved the strictest impartiality and conducted those complicated negotiations with patience and impartiality, they have at the same time upheld the honour and dignity of this country; and that it is further the opinion of this House that the policy of strict neutrality and mediation between the contending powers which has been pursued by the late Government, should be adhered to by Her Majesty's present advisers.
