[" ®J)c ®itcbcc TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 13, 1855 IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.HOUSE OF COMMONS, Friday, 26th January.CONDUCT OF T1TE WAR.Mr.Roebuck rose to move for a select Committee to inquire into the condition of our army before Sebastopol, ami into the conduct of those departments of the government whose nav 'i J'iviidJ'lnii^r loUt limy it has been to minister to tho wants of or whom w .î il i, lÜ'î1 \u2019 '\"î 1 10 \u2022\t\u201c¦\t-\t- -\tior wnoin we bought, and to whom that army.Tho melancholy condition of our army, he observed, had been acknowledged by Lord J.Russell, who had confessed that ho was unable, as a Minister of tho Crown, to resist this motion ; yet, in the same breath bo had declared ho should not support the motion by speech or vote.The question divided itself into two parts\u2014lirst, what was the condition of the army before Sebastopol; the second, how that condition had been brought about t With respect to the condition of the army there could not be two opinions ; all he had to do, therefore was to submit to tho House that inquiry was necessary to ascertain what were the causes by which that condition had been brought about.Jfv hail sent M,000 soldiers properly equip-ptd, to ho had doit'' all they could to uphold the honor of the country.\u2018 At present there were not more than 1-1,000 bayonets before Sebastopol.What had brame of the 14,000 ?lie believed that tho condition of the army had been brought about by the incapacity, at home and abroad, of those whoso duty it was to minister to its wants.Mr.S.Herbert, in resisting the motion, observed that the first cause of the demoralization ofthe army was to bo found in the system wo had pursued for the last forty years.I he English army was a collection of regiments, in every one of which there existed a perfect regimental system ; but tho field olli-cers in command of the regiments had never seen a brigade, and wore unacquainted with the organization of large bodies.The men, to*), in the highly civilized country never learnt to do anything for themselves.Wo laid never entered upon any great war, he remarked, which did not begin with great re-yerses ; and in tho present instance there had been also great military success.After detailing the measures adopted by the government to provide adequate supplies of stores tor the army, he contended that it was unjust, without information, to lay blame upon absent men.The government had no wish to conceal any portion of their conduct in this matter, and every information required should bo laid upon the table ofthe House.He insisted that great delusions upon this subject prevailed in the country.He detailed the Mops taken to remedy defective arrangements by the government, which had acted he said upon every practicable suggestion.He endeavored to show, upon various grounds, the mexpedienoy of the motion which was calcu- Jato.i, m his opinion to narnty'-vh'' the g ivermnont at home and of the authorities abroad.Thr committee would either gain no information, or it would be gained at the expense of the army.He asked tho House if it made up its mind to take this course, to avow it at once by a plain and intelligible decision.The government stood in a precarious position ; it had received a heavy blow by the secession of one of its most important members, and he hoped the House, considering well the course it ought to take and the perils which surrounded tho country, would decide the question at once and in plain language.Mr.H.Dmmmonh.\u2014The Right Hon.gentleman shall understand at least from me, plainly and intelligibly, that I do impute it to tin* gross incompetence of some man or men that an event has occurred without a parallel in history ; that an army, three times victorious, has been left to perish, to be utterly destroyed, by tho incompetence of those who ought to have supported it.The whole country is in wrath with somebody, but no one seems to know who that somebody should be.(Hear, hear.) That is the plain question wo want to liave answered.Is this wrath con tined to one party,,or is there not a bur.-i of indignation Irom one end of tho kingdom to the oilier f.Is it not re-ecohed from Herman y and from France ?Is it not asked in all their papers, what can the English government be composed of ?And was ever such cruelty exhibited towards men as that with which they have treated their army ?I should have thought the Right Hon.gentlemen themselves would be tho very tirst to thank us lor coming forward ami asking for information.I am not content to throw the blame \u2022 >n a government.1 can understand that it is very decent and proper and right for all the gentlemen sitting thereto put themselves forward in order to screen their subordinates; but it is not satisfactory to us.Does any one mean to say that it is the fault of the Right Hon.gentleman that the army is starving ?No ; but it is the fault of the government.Does any one say that it is the fault of the noble lord retire ?Heeause he lias not yet been able satisfactorily to ascertain upon whom the fault rests.My right honorable friend has completely evaded the question.1 thought his speech the other night most conclusive for ins own defence ; the only fault l find with it is, that it was too clever.It sho\u2019Ycvl him to be a very eloquent man.Eloquence is a fine art, the sister of poetry and painting, and there is astrong family likeness.The consequence was, that when we got the speech in plain black and white before us, many things appeared very dureront to what they were before they had been translated.There was no doubt as to tin* propriety of sending troops to Varna, for the assistance, as was said, of tin* Turk.- and civilization,\" although how vlt! lWl> ^ot together I know not.(A laugh.) Varna lies on the road than Russia to Const,in tinople,__and it was very natural to plant an army there ; but to my induite astonishment, I found alter the army hu< there, lii.it one of the essentials of VOLUME LI.question I shall take the vulgarest-looking view of the whole subject\u2014for I think that if iere had been sense enough in the government to manage a private commercial con- « ern, they would have got over this wonder- eminent nvorvtL;.,' o i \u2022 \" i lui soy»,, miles.There is \u201e» ,loubt that mv\t?k '\"°nior,0'f7 riiilll honorable frien.l ha» rally >li»ohar?e;i\tbjUC \u2022 \"* .5\u20190\u201c,r \"î.?lu II» .luty, Hat hu ha» aem oal articles liberal- faSo oFfhe\t'\t1 '\u201cr ly and lavishly, and that «hr.li b,.v,.m .m\u201d\t®\t\u201e ir0P®m ^ Cnmea was, I admit, a well effected and creditable opora-, t *,on' (Hear, hear.)
