If England enters EXto such a treaty with the United States, you will grant to the United States this privilege—that the neutral flag of the United States shall be respected when England is at war; and you will obtain from the United States a simi- lar privilege, that when the United States is at war, the neutral flag of England shall be respected. Thus, in en. tering into such a treaty stipulation, England obtains as much as she gives. Remember, we are not now in the mm with regard to the United States that we were acentury ago. It might be a matter of some impor- tance to receive the priv! eet neutrality from other States in those days because Eogland was separated by a vast interval in her commerce from all other countries in the world ; but at the present moment if the number ef our ships is great, number of the United States hij is great also. It ia ible that the United States may, unfortunately, en; in war with some powerful country. Your ships will then enjoy the privilege of neutrality, and will not be interfered with 4 their lawful callings; and in the same ro fly the treaty I suggest existed now, the ships of the United States would not be ditetocel wi tad ie re 7 ing of or dinary mercantile produce. lear, hear.) I will here res a short passa; fom a vtatingubaked wri rin the United States upon this very question, which we should eyter upon, gven if there were no probability of war. Co question is one which this house may entertain in time of war as well as inatime of peace; in fact, it has no- thing to do with the present position of the country. It ia a question of universal potte , which may be enter- tained at any time. Chancellor Kent, the great American jurist, says:—“‘It has been the desire of our government to obtain’ the recognition of the fundamental principles consecrated by the treaty with Prussia in 1785, relative to the perfect equality and reciprocity of commercial rights between nations, the abolition of private war upon the ocean, and the enlargement of the privileges of neu- tral commerce. The rule of public law, that the property of an enemy is liable to capture in the vessel of a friend, is now declared, on the part of oar government, to have no foundation in natural right, and that the usage rests en- tirely on force. Though the high seas are a gene: jenenenee common toall, yet each nation has special jurisdiction over their own vessels; and all the maritime nations of modern Europe have at times acceded to the princiyle that the property of anenemy shall be pro- tected in the versel ofa friend. No neutral nation, it is said, is hound to subinit to the usage, and the neutral may have yielded at one time to the usage without sacri- ficing the right to vindicate by force the security of the neutral flag at another.” So that although this emi- nent writer admits that it is the law of nations, yet he clearly puts forth the strong wish there ison the part of | the government of the United States to contract treaties with all countries that are willing to enact that as be- tween themselves free ships shall make free goods. Hear, hear.) Now, | propose that her Majesty’s gov- €rnment should consider this proposition. I do not wih to trouble the House with copious extracts, but I ill take the liberty of reading one more. (Ob, ok) 1 know {his may be en unpalatable subject. It is with great reluctance that I go into it; but contend it is becoming a member representing a great com- mercial and manuficturing inierest. to call atten- tion to these important questions. More than that, when say that this proposition will be seconded. by my honorable friend, the member from Liverpool, Tsay it is entitled to the consideration at least of this House, and that it is one which Parliament ought to entertain, (Hear.) The question of a neutral flag has already in volved this country in war, It involved this country in war not only with the United Siates, but, (connected with other questions,) with the Northern Confederacy, who ranged themselves together in 1789 for the express yarpose of an armed neutrality to defend the scourity of We neutral fing. Ido not kaow whether it may be in the recollection of the House, but Imay just mention that the first Power'that ever made a treaty to the effect that free ships made free goods was the Ottoman Porte. (Heor.) The right honorable gentleman concluded by moving an address to her Majesty, praying her Majesty to give special instructions to the officers commanding her Majesty’s cruisers, in the event of war, to abstain from interfering with neutral vessels on account of any goods or property not contraband of war that may be gontained therein, and preying her Majesty to. direct her Ministers to consider the policy of entering into treaty stipulations with the United States of America, and any other foreign country willing to entertain the same, on the principle that free ships shall make free goods, ‘and the neutral flag give neutrality to the cargo. Mr. Hons¥aii seconded the motion. He entirely con- curred in the sentiments which had fallen from his right honorable friend; and he did not see how her Majesty's government could object to the motion. Lord Joun RvssEi1—I think the right honorable gentle- wan could hardly expect the House to agree to the motion he has now proposed. He has laid many important ques- tions before the House; but, important as those questions are, the honorable gentleman who seconded the motion, apd zie has j t down, has shown that the document WRitted in the proposal of the right honoraule peutie man. I can only say that which my right honorable friend has heard before, that it is the intention of the government—not, as my right honorable friend sup- poses, merely to’ refer to the law of nations, leaving parties be insufficient, because the subject of privateering | to make out from that law of nations what their course may be—but it is the intention of the govern- ment, who have been some time considering these subjects, to advise her Majesty to issue, in some shape or , document which will declare the policy of the government on those subjects. (Hear, hear.) ButItrust my right Louorable friend and the honorable member for Liverpool will see that a document of this kind re- quires very great care. (Hear, hear). There are questions of principle, there are questions of precedent, there ara questions of yolley, and there are questions of ‘law, which are all involved in this question not only on these questions, but amidst the contending precedents and high authorities of former wars, the course of the government must be'decided [hear, hear]. ‘The very wording of any document on this subject re- aires especial care. (He from the incautious style of any particular document might lead us into a misunderstanding with Fran:c, or with the United States, or with the neut-al nations of the North, that might be of the most serious consequence. (Hear, hear) Therefore, I think we are not at all to blame for giving the utmost gare and deliberation to this subject. (Hear, hear). Hostilities have not been yet entered into, and before they are ‘entered into a declaration of the vicis and of her Ma- jeaty's government will be made. di tion cannot now be long delayed, and will be made as specdily as is e members of the government to explain, more eape- cially in speeches in this house, the policy we shall pur- ave under such very serious circumstances. (Hear, hear). ‘Mr. Ricarvo was glad the question had been brought forward, because certainly what had been said by Lord Clarendon as Minister for Foreign Affairs, and what had emanated from the President of the Board of Trade were totally and entirely at variance; and therefore it was ab- solutely necessary that the commerce of this country should be placed on a proper and sound footing, that pegibeg ie understand exactly what were the intentions of the government on this subject. (Hear, hear.) Mr. THomAS BARING—It was said by the noble lord that hostilities had not yet commenced, and that before hos- tilities should commence he would state the course the cc would pursue; and what he (Mr. Thomas wanted to know was, whether it was the inten- tion of the government to delay the declaration of their views untilthere was s declaration of war. He could at sure the government that a great injury was inflicted up- on trade by this delay. (Hear, heed) i Lord Joun Rvsseit—I can only say that I think it will be necessary to communicate with France on the sub- ject; for, though the views of the government are de- cided, it is necessary, with respect to France more espe- cially, to state what our views are, and see whether the: are agreeable to the government of France.

Mr. Bricat could understand the reason why the noble Jord might not wish, or might not be prepared to state anything explicitly, on the firs of his right honora- Biv fricsdet motion, and. why’ the house “might rect content until perhaps, the promised declaration was made; ‘but the ‘noble lord had omitted to notice the latter part of the resolution. His right honorable friend had expressed his desire that her ment should enter, or attenspt to enter, (Hear, "8 govern into tresties with the United States on the subject there | referred to, and of course that was not a matter to be Erchon Reems Je (Mr. Brig ug! a Kooving that (ie united States outa have'beed heartily glad to co-operate with the government of this country establishing (as he. believed their co-operation would establish throughout the world) the great principle that ‘vas laid down in that resolution.

(Iiear, hear.) He had been always aware that the dangers which environ this Eastern question were "8 that did not endin the East, but which might spread West. (Hear, hear.) And at that moment that which pressed upon his mind almost as much as the war which was apparently about to commence, was the quarrel which must inevitably spring out of the maintenance of that which hitherto had been considered the law of nations upon subject. Hear, hear.) It was not to be expected that the United ites people would tol@rate that which he was quite cer- tain the people of this country would not tolerate from them. (Hear.) And if it should so happen that th course the government would take would leave the cruis. ers of this country at liberty (and that that liberty should be acted upon) to selze and detain American ships and confiscate the property in them, there waa no diplomacy that ever had boon imagined that could keep this country from a war with the United States, and he was sure it might happen that thie struggle which seems now ivpending, instead of being confined to any portion of Europe, might epread over two. hemispheres. ‘Hear, hear.) For the sake of maintaining what he be- jeved to be in itself radically and originally unjust, they might find this country involved in dangers and calam!- ties equalling any of those that had been experienced at any former period of their history.

(Hear, ears) * ‘The motion was then withdrawn. In the House of Lords, on the same night, the Marquis of CLaNricaRpE moved for copies of the late correspond; ence between her Mojesty’s Secretary of State and her Majesty’s Consul at Riga, Seng brew export of the pro- duce of Russia belonging to her Majesty’s subjects, and to the tights of neutrals in the event of war. The noble marquis prefaced his motion by a speech of some length, of which only an occasional sentence could be heard. The Earl of Ciaxgypoy observed, that with respect to the letter to which his noble friend had last referred, and which he had not before seen or read, though the wording was certainly somewhat indistinct in the mean- ing, he thought, could not be misunderstood, that mean- ing being that any trade, direct or indirect, with a coun- try with which we were at war, would be prohibited ; but that the produce of sach country, coming through some neutral port, and in the way of bona fide trale—that was, produce not belonging to the subjects of the belligerent power, might be admitted. (Hear.) With regard to the letter to the Consul at Riga, he was’ at to hear that, in consequence of the view taken of that letter, pain has been given to the British merchants at St. Petersburg. He, like his noble friend, had resided for a long period at St. Petersburg, and could bear witness from his own knowledge of the high character and honorable conduct of the British merchants engaged in trade there, and that while in other countries much dificulty and consi derablé interruption to public business was experienced by our representatives in the endeavor to seitle questions and differences which arose from time to time between British subjects and the government of those countries, such differences seldom or never occurred in refer: ence to the British merchants at St. Petersburg. (Hear, hear.) The letter, however, in question, bi come necessary, in consequence of a question which had been referred to the British Consul at Riga by a British merchant, who had declared his intention of not quitting Russia until he knew whether he could ship Russian goods to British ports. That being the case, what else could be (Lord Clarendon) do, on the question being referred to him, than to state the law as it stood, and ds he had received it from the law advisers of the crown? (Hear, hear.) “By the law and practice of nations, a bellizerena a right to consider as enemies all persons who reaiiet in a hostile country, or who maintained commercial estab- lisbments therein; whether such persons were by birth neutrals, allies, enemies, or fellow subjects; the property of such persons exported from such countries was, thero- fore, res hostium, and 28 such lawful prize of war; su property would ‘be considered as a prize, although its owner Was a native born subject of the captor’s country; and although it might be in transition to that country, and its being laid on board a neutral ship, would not pro- tect the property.” He was sorry that tho Isaguage o| the law, as he had been compelled upon the advice of the law advisers of the crown thus to declare it, was consider- ed too severe; but he saw no necessity for altering the words, with the view of making the declaration more bland, or lees calculated to give offence. (Hear, hear.) He conceived what the eparicent wanted to know in this case waa the truth, and that was what he had informed Lim. He had informed him what was the state of the law, and what he would expose himself to if he dila certain thing which he had intimated he was about to do. (Hear, hear.) It was true in that letter he had alluded to licenses and facilities that might, under certain circum. stances, be accorded; and not being at all aware und what circumstances this gentleman was about to export Russian produce, or any of the particulars of the case, he certainly thought he had gone to the utmost extent he could in giving him the explanation required without in- curring the risk of leading him into error. Within the last. few days government had received nume- rous applications on the important subject his no- ple friend had brought under their lordships’ no- tice, requiring information upon very many points as ‘to the law in such cases, the rights of neu- trals, the use of the Russian flag’ in consequence of the great dearth of shipping, in some instances calling for answers to certain hypothetical questions, which, it seemed to him, required more than common ingenuity to hear, and laughter.) Of course he could not give satisfactory replies to all these communications. He was at all times anxious to afford all the information in his power, (hear) but their lordships would readily understand that a very great caution was necessary in such matters, in order to prevent parties being led into errors which might result in their own injury, and also to avoid placing the government in a position of difficul- y hereafter. jis their lordships might be assured of — that her Majesty’s government would afford to British subjects at alltimes, and under all circumstances, all (Hear, hear.) It had n possible hitherto to determine upon what prin- ciple the dispensing power of the crown, whether by licenses ot by order in council, could best be exercised, nor could it until they knew the cases to which it was required to be applied. It must also be borne in mind that we were now for the first time en, d in a war—should war take p! —in conjunction with a neighboring ally, and it was our duty, and it was also necessary, before coming to any definite determination, to be clear as tothe principle | we should adopt in departing from the former law, if departure there should be, and also as to its application to every transaction and every case, before calling upon the French government to in that principle, and to join with us in protecting British gubjects and British vessels according to our interpretation of the law of na- tions. A great varicty of cases had been brought un‘ler the consideration of the government, and they. were now nearly in a position, he believed, to determine the prin- ciple which should be adoptod, and what facilities should be afforded. Further than this, he should be sorry to enter into particulars at present, lest an erroneous view of what he intended to state should go forth to the pub- lie and persons should be led into acts which might re- sult Injuriouly to them in consequence. His noble friend had quoted an instance where the reports in two newspepers of a conversation on this subject which occurred in another place had been entirely at variance, by which persons might have been led into error. He repeated that the government were nearly in a position to determine as to the principle upon which they would be prepared to act, and he would only say further at present in answer to his noble friend’s observations—he meant those with which he concluded his speech—that so far as protection to British subjects and British property was con- cerned, it was the determination of her Majesty’s government to aet with the greatest liberality con- sistent with the rights of the nation. (Hear.) And with respect to the rights of neutrals and Wetters of marque, he trusted that in the course they determined upon it wor be found that they were about to set an example of liberality tothe world—(loud cheers)—and he hoped they would Le able to show that, so far as was in their power, it was their intentions to mitigate the calamity of war, and to act ina manner c@psistent with humanity and with the character of the nation. (Cheers.) He believed it to be of the highest importance to our own country that not only our own'merchants, but that foreign nations, should be placed as early as possible in possession of the course the government intended to pursue; and he hoped in the course of a few days to be in 4 position to announce that intention, and to produce the correspondence to which his noble friend referred. (Lowd eer The motion was withdrawn, and their lordships ad- journed at half past six o'clock. ASPECT OF THE WAR. ‘rom the London Times, March 22. One of the first consequences of the state of hostilities now impending over Europe, and of the extensive arma. ments which every government is more or less compelled to make, is that large demands havo already been ad- dressed to the money lender. The French government has contrived to persuade the public that the loan of ten milling sterling, which has just been opened by public subscription, ‘b rather a mn than ‘otherwise bo the country. The Austrian in improving the aspest of loan of five millions sterling has been taken up with- out much difficulty in the empire. And new the Prussian government, though much given to boast of the flourishing condition of its finances, in driven to ask of the assembled Chambers authority to contract @ loan of thirty million dollars, or noarly five millions sterling. ‘This incident is the more important, inasmuch as {t compels the Prussian Cabinet to make some statement to the country of the eauses which count for this demand; and, accordingly, Baron Man fouffel bas delivered speech, in which be professes to explain the views of the Cabinet on the present foreign relations of Prussia. We have sought is vain in this production for any cause sufficient to justify the large nancial burden it purports to impose on the country; for, if the resolution of Prussia is definitely taken to do nothing, and to leave to other States the defence of those Principles to which she ‘had formally given her ad- erence, it is difficult to understand how an extraordi- nary vote of five millions sterling is required. The Prnssian Minister has endeavored to diaguise the feeble policy ef the crown under high-sounding phrases about national independence, and ‘the heroism of our forefathers,” but, if these expressions are compared with the practical’ measures taken or prepared by the Court of Bertin, it will be perceived that they are a mere blind to cover the most humiliating submission to the | demands of Russia. We wish we could place reliance on | all circumstances, to act up to the high callin, | to stand faith: the words that the King of Prussia is resolved, “under which = Position of Prussia imposes-on him, and ully by the side of every confederate who may be called upon by his geographical position'to draw the sword sooner than Prussia in defeade of German in- terests.’? LU But the question temains, “What are German: inter- ests?” Do ‘German interests” lie in close and intimate union with the Western Powers, who are conten ling for the Euro | the restoration of peace and the security of nations, or in compliance with that demand for neutraiity by which Russia has extinguished the voice of Germany in the councils of Europe? Ihe Ottoman empire is remot and Prussia appoars in our day content to leave to oth States the active defence of that territory from ager sion. But, even before a shot is fired in the Black Sen, voran English soldier has passed the Dardanelles, it is probable that hostilities will have began in the Baltic, ond that the first operations of war will have taken place within sight of the Prussian coasts. For Prussia to con- tend tat she has no interest war in which the possession of the Baltic is one of the chief elements of success, is a doctrine we cannot comprehend, unless she is preparing to avail herself of the priviloges of a neutral Power to obtain, as far as posaible, the transfer of the Russian trace. “But on what ground is the lean of thirty million thalers required? No armameats are announced =he itentlon is expressed of putting the rilitary ro- sources of Prussia in motion—and so large a sum can hardly be required for the mere defence of @ neutral po- sition. Severa) minor cirenmstances have occurred to pressions we ‘ave unfortut ceived of the views of the Prussian ent. Pourtales, who is a diplomatist of spirit and , sont ona mission to this country a few weeks ago, has re- signed in disgust the appointment he held in the Prus- sian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Count Benkendorf, the Russian military agent at Ber- lin, who had been directed by his own government to leave that Court on a pretended journey to the Caucasus, is now to stay there; and we hear much of the effect pro- duced by the eloquence of the Empress of Russia’s appeals to the tender affection of her brother. If these are the intentions of the Cabinet and the sentiments of the Court, we trust that the Chambers will not vote the la sum required of them without obtaining from the Minis- try a much stronger declaration of their policy; for when once this money is raised, the principal meant by the country of enforcing the responsibility of the gov- ernment, are at an end, and over the employment of these extraordinary resources no control whatever can be exer- M. de Mantenffel’s re- unt speech was reeoived with, applause by the right of the Chamber, which is occupied by the high tory, or Russian party, but we have yet to learn in what manner the nation has responded to langua, which falls so far short of its just expectations and its true interests. The policy of Prussia has undoubtedly proved to be the main obstacle—perhaps we might say the sole inter- ruption—to the complete union and active co-operation of the Western and the German Powers. It is now well known that Count Buol adopted the treaty which France and England had originally proposed, and that Austria recommended that its provisions should be strengthened for the purpose of obtaining the evacuation of the Prin- cipalit The refusal of Prussia to join in this instrument, and her intrigues with the email German courts of the south, are the causes which have as yet prevented the conclu: sion of this arrangement, ‘The treaty between Fran England, and Turkey is, we believe, already conelud but, ax we have before observed, it is chiefly of a.m tary nature, and it does not contain any of the stipula- tions which have been erroneously connected with it for the protection of the Christians in the East. Bat, though the engagements into which Austria was prepar ing to enter have been postponed by the hesitation of the Court at Berlin, there is no doubt that she continues to prepare on a large seale for war. It is said that the forces collected on her south-castern frontier will shortly amount to no less than 165,000 men; and the last conferences between the Imperial Cabinet and the Russian Minister at Vienna have raised doubts whether M. de Meyendorf is likely to remain at his ost. If the Emperor of Russia flattered himself that ne held Austria in absolute dependence on hi lh in this Fastern question, Austria has already that she conceives herself to be disengaged from th: identity of opinions and interests; é has it in h er to obtain, without striking a blow, the evacuat of the invaded territories of the Porte. THE WAR QUESTION JN _ITALY- ‘The Cpinione, of Turin, of the 16th ult., publishes the following report of the ‘proceedings in’ vh> Chamber of Deputies, on the 15th:— The Chamber commenced to-day the disewsion on the estimates of the Naval Department. M. LA Marmora, Minister of War—There is much to be said with regard to the improvements to be idtroduced into our navy, The propelling force applicable to ships of war still remains a problem which can only be solved by experince. General Paixhans, that innovator in’ artillery, has suggested to the French government, since the disaster of Sinope the idea of replacing heavy ships by steam frigates. ¢ | We will avail ourselves of the results of the experi- ments about to be made in the approaching maritine war; for we may say that there was no maritime war for the last forty years. I do not consider it advisable for the Chamber to vote credits at present for an object which is still uncertain. We have hitherto done all that covkt be done. We have constructed a frigate, the Carlo Alberto, mounting 50 Paixhans’ guns. of the same size is now on the stocks at Genoa. A. VarsuoT consider it, important to remedy. evily which are constantly increasing. I call the attention of the Chamber to the superiority of the Neapolitan navy over ours, the King of Naples having at this moment twenty-four steamers, by means of which he ean at his pleasure convey 20,000 soldiers to any part of the Italian peninsula. Must we await the ue of the maritine war, when we may be. obliged ourselves to take part in it? At this moment all the navies of Europe are represented in the Black Sea and the Bosphorus. Those of Spain, Portugal, Holland and Belgium, are to be seen there, One flag only is absent—the Italian tri-colored fag—and nevertheless we have most important interests to protect on those shores. M. La Mauwona—to reply to these reproaches, I will confine myself to tell M. Valerio that the Eurydice is now at Cagliari, and that the moment the officers she is ¢x- Recting shall have arrived. she will sail for the Black Sra. ith regard to the Neapolitan navy, I will observe that the Neapolitan government committed a mistake, which itis our duty to avoid. Paddle steamboats can only serve as transports—they only carry five guns, whilst screw ships may carry fifty: Italian seamen formerly Dever navigated out of the Mediterranean, and it is only of late years they have crossed the Atlantic. M. VaLeero—I shall have atleast gained an important point to my observations, The country will learn with satisfaction that a Sardinian vessel will soon show her flag at Constantinople. e Chamber afterwards voted several articles of the budget and adjourned.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 90, opened at 89% to 901%, and, owing to numerous outstanding limits for purchases at 90, they were maintained for some little time at that quotation. Subsequently, under the influ- ence of speculative sales, they touched 89%, and the closing quotation was at 894% to 897% for both money and account. Notwithstanding the anxious position of af- fairs, the public continue to take considerable amounts of stock.
