§ Against the EARL OF MALMESBURY'S Resolutions relating to Denmark.
§ Die Veneris, 8 Julii, 1864.
§ Dissentient,
§ Because the Second Resolution implies, although in vague and ambiguous language, that the Duty of upholding the Integrity and Independence of Denmark was incumbent on the Government of Great Britain more than on the other Powers who were Signataries to the Treaty of London of May, 1852:
§ Because this implied assertion has no foundation in fact, and no justification in policy:
§ Because the said Second Resolution farther implies, in a like ambiguous manner, that the Integrity and Independence of Denmark, if they could not be upheld by Negotiation, ought to have been upheld by the Arms of Great Britain alone:
§ Because any Resolution to this effect ought to be expressed distinctly, and in specific Terms:
§ Because the said Second Resolution affirms that the just Influence of Great Britain has been lowered in the Councils of Europe, without stating any fact, or giving any reason to justify this assertion:
1194§ Because such an assertion, made in such Terms, by this House, is in itself injurious to the Public interests, and is in the highest degree unwise and inexpedient.
