§ MR. BOWYERsaid, that before the noble Lord adverted to what had fallen from his hon. Friend (Mr. Hennessy), he also wished to ask him a question. The noble Lord would remember that he some time ago asked him whether he would lay on the table a despatch which was material for the completeness of the Correspondence on Roman affairs, and which was dated the 29th of February, and addressed by Cardinal Antonelli to the Nuncio at Paris 685 for the information of the French Government. In that despatch the Pope answered the arguments used by M. de Thouvenel in his despatch to the French Ambassador at Rome. He (Mr. Bowyer) was anxious to know whether the noble Lord was prepared to lay a copy of that despatch on the table. There could be no difficulty in procuring a copy, and it would make the information before the House more complete. He had no doubt that his hon. Friend's information with respect to a despatch written by the noble Lord, in which he denounced the ecclesiastical rule of the Pope as tyrannical and corrupt, was well founded, because the noble Lord had lately admitted that he had written despatches to the Court of Naples in which he denounced the Government of Naples as ignorant and tyrannical. The noble Lord probably thought that as he would not be very successful in passing a Reform Bill in England, he might as well endeavour to pass a Reform Bill in the kingdom of Naples. He had no doubt that the noble Lord had intermeddled in the internal affairs of Rome, and he protested against the noble Lord's interference in matters which did not concern him. Her Majesty's Government had no right to give any opinion whatever with regard to the internal administration of the Pope's dominions. Her Majesty's Government had never interfered in the affairs of Italy without doing mischief. Whenever they had expressed their opinions on those affairs they had done so in a tone and manner highly insulting to the Sovereigns of Italy, and had shown so much prejudice against those Sovereigns that no useful result could follow any opinions they might give on Italian affairs. He protested against the opinions of Her Majesty's Government which might be laid on the table with regard to the internal administration of Rome being received except in the manner he had stated —that was to say, received as the opinions of persons who interfered in matters with which they had no right to interfere.
