good fortune to meet with , ( Cheers . ) I will not think it inconsistent if , even at this crisis , I repeat that declaration ; for , although it is too true that very shortly ve may have to seek peacel > y other means than those whico we hare hitherto employed , still peace is our nun object . ( Loud cheers . ) And , my Lord Mayor , it is , in pursuing this object , a great satisfaction to her Majesty ' s Ministers to be acting in concert with an ally from vrhom we bava from the first experienced the utmost cordiality , truth , and loyalty . ( Loud cheer *) I remember that my distinguished friend witom I now see near me [ the French ambassador ^ joined w ith , me las t year in expressing the hope of preserving , peace ; and I have so doubt that we shall still pursue that object together , and by the same means . And although war may be carried on wita vigour and energy , yet I think we must entertain a firm resolution to terminate that war as speedily aa possible , consistently with national honour . "
Greeted by loud cheering , Lord Aberdeen resumed his seat ; and the Lord Mayor next proposed the health of the Foreign Ministers . For- them Count Walewaki replied in French . Remarking on the great number of ambassadors present , he pointed to it as a proof of the "unanimity of the vorld against Russia . Peace they had fruitlessly striven to maintain . But he might be permitted , to recall the words of his Soveregin—" the ageof eonqtiest is irrerocably passed' *—and it was to defend the right , to sustain the feeble againat the strong , to maintain treaties , that they now went to war , and such a var ooght not to disauiet any one . And the union of the fleets
and armies * of France and England wbich would ul ? timately consolidate peace , fitly inauguiated the new era so strongly characterised by the Emperor Napoleon . ( GheersJ ) , The Bishop of London replied for " the Church-, " the Lord Chancellor for tlie House of Lords ; and Mr . Gladstone for the House of Commons . In the course of fats speech he spoke aa follows : "My Lord Mayor , I might indeed , have been more fortunate in the moment at which I address you . In other years we ha * re liad more flattering atcconnts to present to the country , and less urgent demands to make upon it .- It has been the happy fortune even of bar Majesty ' s present advisers to maks proposals to ParliameBt ia days bss critical , and under necessities , less urgent , wbich have h » d tbe effeib of JEteatly % bt » nipff th * burden * of the jpeople . and of assjstuie
