Lyrron said he had already given notice of a motion with respect to the correspondence recently laid before the House, connected with Central America. Be- fore, however, he moved the resolution on this subject which was at present on the paper, he would ask the noble lord at the heaa of the government, firet, whether any anewer had been received to the proporal of azbi'ra- tion submitted to the government of the United States; and, secondly, if thet answer had not been received, whether the noble lord was of opiuion that the discussion ofthe question nrxt Fridey night be premature, or in any way prejndicial to the progross of. negotiations? (Hear, hear.) It would depend upon the answer ofthe noble lord whether he would go on with his motion on Friday, or in order to give greater time for the reply of the United States government, postpone the discussion until afver Whiteuntide. Lord Paumurston said, in reply—Her Majesty's govarn- ment have not received any reply to the proposal made te the United States government, thet the questions connected with Central America should be referred to ar- bitration, though I shouid hope that an answer will very shortly be received, either consenting or giving reasons for declining that proposal. Of course, it is not for me to preeume to throw out suggestions in order to in- fluence honoradJe members to the performance of their Parliamentary duty, but still, as the honorable baronet has had the goodness to submit his views, I am bound to esy that E think, with a view to national interests in a question pending between this country and the n= ment of another country, that while a proposition, such as that of referring the diepute to arbitration is yet un- apawered, those national interests will be best consulted if this Houre abstains from entering into a discussion of a jnestion of this delicate nature until the answer of the Ini'ed States government one way or the other has been received. If. therefore, the honorable baronet, in the exercise of his discretion, should postpone his motion to ® later period after the holidays, I con’ess I think he wae exercising a sound judgment in the matter (RTE B, Lyrrox then sald that after the observations of the noble lord, he should postpone his motion until after the Whitrantide holtdeyn, but he earnestly hoped thst mo very great delsy would take in the diseus- sion of the question, THE CRAMPTON DIFFICULTY. No. 82. MR. CRAMPTON TO THE EARL OF CLARENDON. WASHINGTON, Maroh 14, 1856, enn ear eth) the honor to enclose an extract from 1e ligencer newspsper, containing an able article upon the recruitment question. De This article, which I had not seen when I wrote my previous despatch of this day’s date, will be found en- tirely to confirm the correctness of the view taken by Lord Palmerston of Mr. Buchanan’s expression of satis- faction with \the gm erresprg contained in your lord- sbip’s note to that Minister of the 16th of July last. It will also be found to establish, ina manner which ean scarcely be controverte!, the fact thet Mr. Buchanan did not bring the subject of the recruitment under the attention of her jeuty’s government in any other aspect than as a violation of tne municipal law of the United States, and that consequently what is termed the “international aspect” of the question was not present- edto her Mejesty’s government until they received copy of the note addressed to myselt on the Sth of Sep- tember by Mr. Maroy. Ihave already had the honor of stating to your lord- ship that the question was not presented to me in that aspect before I received that note, though frequent op- portunities had occurred for making to me such acom- miee tea Woe had the Usited States government been dis- to do 80, I will take this opportunity of pointing out more par- ticularly what those opportunities were, since the publi- cation of the eortespondence by the United Btates go- vernment enables me to do so with cae precision. Mr. Marcy, in his despatch to Mr. Buchanan of the 28th of December, lays some streas on tbe fact of my having been for a certain period absent from Washington in the British provinces, as accounting for his having given me no warniog of his real views of the recruit- ment question. Now, as Mr. Marcy has himielf observed, dates are of Importance in these matters. ‘our lordship will observe that the date of Mr. Marcy’s first despatch to Mr. Buchanan on the subject of the re- ernitment was June 9, 1855. and as the date of my retarn to Washington was the 6th of the same month, there could have been no difficulty in making me aware of the fact that such a despatch had been written, or of inform- me of the grounds of complaint therein taken. ir. Mare reseed Mr. Buchanen again onthe 16th of July, renewing in ® more decided tone his complaint on the subject. I was certainly not then absent from Washington, but I was left entirely in the dark as to those complaints having been addressed to my governm nt upon a sudjec’ in which I was interested, ana in respect to a proceeding which {t mght have been supposed I could have to some extent contributed to contrcl, if not at once to cause to be discontinued, had the United States government ap- plied to me directly on the subject. It was only upon the receipt of Your lordship’s despatsh of July 19, in- closing copies of your correspondence with Mr. Iacha- nan (notes of the 16th and 18th of July respectively) that I became aware that any complaint had been made. On the receipt of that deapatch I conceived, ax your lordship did, and Lord Palwers'on has done, thas the affair bad been brought tos termination satistactury to Mr. Buchanan, and consequently w his government, and acting on that +upposition I appited unofficially to Mr, Marcy, by a letter dated August 10, to have the proseca- tiops sgainst Mr. Consul Rowcroft, &s., abandoned. I received no reply to this letter for several days, and when at an interview with Mr, Mercy on the 26th of Au- gust I applied verbaily for one, he did not even then see fit to inform me ot what was going forwara, or apply to me to arrest the recruitment proceedings which it now appears he believed to be actually going on with success, but contented himself with remarking to me that the af- fair was uncer consideration. It wos only by Mr. Marey’s note of the Sth of Sepvem- ber, that] was at once informed noth of the view taken of the matter by the United States government, and of ‘heir belief that } myself was implicated in the affair of which they complained. From June 6, therefore, to September 5, during the whole of which time, with the exception of six day (from June 20 to June 26), I was at Warhington. and durivg the whole of which time Mr. Oy, it has rince appeared, believed that reeruitments ware success- fully going on, ‘which recraltments it was natural to aup- pose | might have had some tnfluence in stopping or pra- venting, Do remonstrance or communication of say sort was mace to me on the subject; and during the greater part of that time, while evidence was being industriously collected by the United States District Attorneys, through the means of paid spies and informers, agatast myself and other officers of her Majeaty’s service, 1 was not thought expedient by the United States governmont to give either myaelf or them any notice of what was going forward. or to break silence on the subject to us ab all, until s cage against us had been uted and com- pleted by which it was hoped and expr and avow- edly intended to convict ua publicly of tae offence of a violation of the Jaw.

The undersigned had, indeed, Loped that that note. t: er with bis subse- went fecmmunications of the 27th of September to Mr. uchanan, and of th: 16th of November, through Mr. Crampton, to the government of the United States, would bave been accepted bya friendly government such as that of the United States, as a disclaimer of any intention to give offence, and as a satisfaction for say oteuce: which thet government might have been led by circumstances to think bad, though untatentionally, been given. For what has been the course of che transactions which have given rise to this correrpondence? On ‘he breaking out of the late war between the West- ern Powers and Russia, the Britwh goveroment was in- formed that many persons resident within the United ‘States—some natives of the continent of Earope and some natural born subjects of Her Majesty—were desirous of entering into the military service of Great Britain. The British govermment, believing the information they had received on this matter to be well found- ed, and being anxious to increase as rapidiy as pessible their military force, took to avail avail themselves of this disposition, and gave directions that any persons presenting themselves within the British North American ora: willing to enlist and found ft for rervice, should be eageged for the British army. Bat her Msjeaty’s government gave the most positive orders that in making arrangements for this parpose nothing should be done to inf: in any marner whatsoever the neutrality Jaws of the United States. It was not doubted that such arrasgements might be carried into executidn without Cad riolation of those Jawa, because those laws prohibit enlistments or engage- ments only within the territories of the United Stat they do not forbid citizens of the United States or resi- dents therein from leaving those territories, nor do they forbid such oltizens or other persons from Sogaging or en- Usting in military service elsewhere, when of tneir own free willand without any previous contract or engagement may have left those territories, intentions of the Bridsh government, and the ar- rapgements mace to car: — intentions into execu- des, must x) tion, were not the government of the United states. Those intentions and wore frankly stated arrangements ‘Mr. Crampton to Mr. Marcy in s conversation on the of March, 1855, and the only observations which Mr. Marcy made in reply were that the neutrality laws ofthe United States would be ri enforced, but that any number of persons who des! it might leave the United Stetes, and get enlisted in any foreign service. Up to thie point, therefore, there was no misunder- standiog as to the purpose of the British government, and no difference ef opinion as to the legality of the course which that government intended to Bat the British government soon found, by accounts which reached them from the United States, that it would be difficult to prevent the execution of the contem- plated arrangements from being attended by ciroum- stances which might re rise to between the two goverpments, I+ was seen that, however sirict tnighs be the orders of her Majesty’s government that ey Sion be done in contravention of tne laws 0° the United States, and however scrupulous her jeaty’s officers in America might bein obeying those orders, yet ® misconception of the precise bearing of those laws might lead some of those officers unintentionally to over: step their linits, while other persons, either from honest zeal or for the sake of gsin, or from a destre to entrap her Majesty's offeers, might do things at varisnce with the provisions of those iaws. Her Majesty’s government i ao mot anxious thet nothing «Showa happen to distur! @ good understanding petween t! two ta, and being desirous of showing unequi- thetr respect for the laws of the United States, at 4 of their own accord determined to ge up the prosecution of the arrapgements in question; and they coins fd sent out to Canada and to Nova Scotia on the 22d of June, 1855, orders to discentinue further proceedings in the matter of enlistment for the Foreign Legion. A fortnight after theee orders had been sent out the undersigned received from Mr. Buchsnan a note, dated July 6, alleging thet the neu:rality laws of the Uniied States had, inmany instances, been violated by persons taking steps, either with or without the approbation of the Britial rnment, tor the purpose of engaging enlisting within the United States recruits for tne British service; and Mr. Buchanan, in the conclusion of his te, Atated that “the President would be much gratified to learn that her Majesty’s government had not autho- rized the proceedings complained of, but had condemned the conduct of its offi engaged therein, and had visited them with its marked displeasure, as well as taken decisive measures to puts atop to conduct con- trary to the law of nations, the laws of the United States, and the comity which onght ever to prevail in the intercourte between the two frieudly Powers.”” ‘The undersigned. in reply tot his note, expresed to ‘Mr. Buchanan, on the 16th of July, the ¢ of her Ma- jesty’s government if the law of the United States had oeen in any way infri: by persons acting with or without authority from her ety’s government: and he stated that any such infringement of the law of the United Statea would be ere the wishes and the positive instructions of the British government. The und ed went on to explain his reasons for believing that no person authorized to act for the British government bad violated the law of the Unite1 States ; and, in conclusion, he stated that the request of the Pre: wident that decisive measures might be taken to put an end to these proceedings had been anticipated by the spontaneous act of her Majesty’s government, who had, a fortnight before the receipt of Mr. Buchan sent out orders to put an end to the arraogems listing within the North American Provinces persons who might come there from other places, Mr. Buchanan, in reply, said, in # note dated the 18th of July, that he should feel much satisfaction in trans. mitting to his government the nove of the a F 5 So strong appears to have been the impression on the mind of Mr. Buel in of the satisfactory nature of this communication, that, when afterwards he reseived a despatch iron itr. Marcy with renewed instructions to address remonstrances to the British government on the subject of the recruiting proceedings, he abstained from acting upon those instructions, and withheld Mr. Maray’s deepatch containing them trom the kaowiedge of her Ma- jesty’s government, obviously because ne wed by ita oate, July 16, that it was written fore the note of the undersigned of July 16 could have heen received by Mr. Marcy, and because he concluded that when that note should have been received the government of the United States would be satinfied with its contents. Fora considerable time this conclusion appeared weil founded. On September 5, however, Mr. Maroy adarewsed @ note to Mr. Crampton, not alleging that fresh subjects of com- plaint had arisen since the receipt in America of the British orders of the 22d of June, but going back to the same transactions to which Mr. Buchanan’s note of the 6th July had aaverted, and renewing all his original com- plaints, as if no notice had been taken ot his former re- presentation, as if no regret had been expressed, and as it 00 measures had been adopted to put an Instant stop to the proceecicgs out of which his compiaints had originated. A communication, ro much at variance with what Mr. Buchanan’s note of the 18tn July had led Her Majesty's oVerbment to expect, might well be received with some feelings cf surprise, inaemuch as thev believed that they had given to the government of the Untied S:ates every satisfaction which one government could reasonably ex: pect to receive from another fn a case of this kind. ‘the undersigned, however, on the 27th of September replied to Mr. Marcy's note, answering the allegations renewed in it. and repeating that her Majesty's govern- ment bad no reason to belleve,that any of hor Majesty's servants, or apy agents duly thorized by them, nad disregarded the injunctions to respeet and to obey the laws of the United States, Neverthsless, the government of the United States still considered this anawer unsatisfactory, and on 18ta of October Mc. Marcy addressed another despateh on these matters to Mr. Bushavan, which was communicated to the undersigned on the 1a; of November. In that despatch Mr. Marcy renews hia general assertions that her Majesty's officers in Americn had vio- lated the laws of the United States; he refers to his despatch of the 15th of July, which Mr. Buchanan had abstained from communteaticg onl the supposi- tion that the note of the undersij of the 16tn of July bad finally settled the question at fasne, and he states that the said despateh of the 15th of July {ndicste’ the eatisfaction which the government ot the United States believed tt had a right to claim from the govern- ment of Great Britain. This despatch of the 15th of July, which was not com- municated to the undersigned by Mr. Bachanan til! the 24 of November, concludes by saying that ‘the Presiient is diapored to believe that her Majesty’s government baa not countenanced the illegal proceeding: of its officers and agents since ita attention wna fire dirasted to the subject, and witl consider it alike due to itself and toths Unired States to disavow their agts and deal with them ia auch @ manner as their grave offense merits;”’ but that, ‘ge reoruiticg for the British army, in the mode alluded to, te atilt prosecuted, as be believed, within the United States ction and —s emp! :yod for thet purpose, the President ins:racts Mr. Buchanan to ray to her Ma- Jeaty’s that be expects it will take prompt and ef measures to arrest their proceedings, and to di from service those persons now in it who were enlis 1 within the United States, or who left the United States under ccntracta made here to enter end serve 86 soldiers in the British army.” This, then, is the satzsfaction which, as late as the 13th of October, Mr. Marcy declared was thet which the gov- ernment of the United States comanded. fan. respect to se Sess es of bay demand, her Ms ly’a government deny that any llega! prowedings were, so far as they knew, coma!: De ita’ ofteers or authorized agents, and therefore tney have none to diva- OF agents to deai with as offenders, other poicts specitted by Mr. Marey, 6th of November, deemiog tt governmen: of the United States to do 40, entered into a detailed and, as he had hoped, tis. factory reply to the argaments and s‘atements contataed in Mr. Marcy’s ten of the 13th of October. In that ly the unde: stated that the most material of the recruiting, had been already lisposed of; for, nearly four months before the date of that teh, the recruiting arrangemeats and Bees toga had been abandoned by ordera nent by her Majesty’s Government on the 22d of June; and that the second part of the aatisiaction Capi tgs thefr power to ive, because no person 0 jowledge oven en- firwa within the United Statas, or left the Unitei States under contract made therein to enter iuto service in the British army. And he further aided, that if it could be shown 1 amy mén had been so enlisted, they should immediately be discharged and sent back to the United the undersigned thus showed that the satisfaction claimed by the government of the United States had long since been given, as far as it was in the nature of things possible to give it, and, in addition to the satisfaction asked for, he expreseed the regret of her Majesty's gov- ment if anything had been done by any person, auttior- {zed or unauthorized, which could be considered an in- fringement of the law of the United, co sags porate Bi ve been supposed that the cor- respondence would hee have ended. Regret had been expressed for any infringement of the law of the United States, it any bad taken place, notwiths:anding the post- and repeated orders of her Majesty’a government to ontrary. The satisfaction which the goverment of the United States, after mature celiberation, had de- manded bad el'her been spontaneously and by anticlps. tion, granted, or had been shown io be impracticable, be- cause there was no man in the British service whose enlistment, or contract to enlist, had, to tha knowledge cf her Majesty’s government, taken place in the manner specified by Mr. Marcy in bis despatch of the 15th of July, and whose discharge, therefore, could form part of the satisfaction indicated by Mr, Marcy. Her Majesty's thorn however, expressed their readiness to ney it sativfaction also, if any case should be established to which it could apply: Her Majesty’s government were, however, disappoint- ed in the confident expectation which they had entertain- ed that this further explanation would prove satisfactory, for on the 20th of Jenuncy of the present year tr. Buchanan communicated to the undersigned a despatch from Mr. Mercy, dated the 28th of December preceding, recapitelating the complaints of the government of the United Stater, and making a demand in the way of satis- faction different from those which were mentioned in Mr. Marcy’s note of the 15th of July, and which were referred to in his despatch of the 13th of October as the satisiac- tion which the government of the United States believed itself entitled to claim. This demand consisted in an ap- Moation for the recall of her Majesty’s Minister at ‘ashington, and of her Majesty’s Consuls at Philadel- phia, New York, snd Cincinnati. It will naturally be aoked whether any new ground had been found for this demand, or whether any new event had happened be- tween the 13th of October and the 28th of December, in which these officers of her Majesty had been concerned. Nothing of the kind hed taken place, and the accueations made sgainst these officers in Mr. Marcy’s despatah of the 28tn of December rest upon statements waich wera equally within the knowledge of the government of the United States on the 13th of October, when no such de- mand was made, Before the unaersigned proceeds to reply to Mr- Mar- oy’s note of December, 28, he must notice an erroneous construction which Mr. Marcy has there put upon @ passage in a despatch of the 12th of April, 1855, from the undersigned to Mr. pion, which was communicated by him to Mr. Maroy. The pasiage is as foliows:—MI en- threly approve of your proceedings 9a reported in your despatch No. 67, ofthe 12th ult., with respect to the proposed enlistment in the Queen's service of foreigners and British subjects in the United States.” Mr. Marsy assumes, and es Gpon the assumption, that the mesning of this passage was, that the enlistments of the eons mentioned, and which were spprovei of by her iajesty’s government, were to take pince within the ‘United States: whereas, the sentence, according to its od vious meaning, relates to foreigners and British subjects resident in the United States. Tue word ‘in’? has refer: ence to the place where they resided, and not to the place where they were to be enlisted; and ifsny doubt could arise on this point thatdonbt must heve been removed hy the ccncluding passage which adverts to the neu- traliiy law of the United States, and 8 that Mojesty’s government would on no ascount ran any risk of infringing that law. This construction of the passage under consideration does not appear to have oceurred to Mr. Marcy atthe time when the de- spatch of the undersigned of the 12th of April was com- munteated to him by Mr, Lumley. So far from it, Mr. Marcy expressed to Mr. Lumley his satisfaction with ‘that despatch, and desired that he might be furnished us a copy of it in order that he mignt show it to his colleagues. The undersigned must also further observe that Mr. Maroy, in the same deapateh, has misconceived the mean- ing of an expression used by the undersigned in mai an offer, above referred to, that any man who might have deen enlisted within the United States should be imme. diately discharged and sent back. reference there made to British law was merely intended to indicate thet if persons had been enlisted under the circumstances sup- Bon such enlistment would have been at variance with itish as well as with American law; but the under- signed did not mean that respect would not be pa(d, in the discharge of men, to the principles of the law of the United States alone, should that Iaw appear to Kave been violated in a single case. In reply to the general statements of Mr. Marcy’s des- pated, the undersigned must repeat that her Majesty’s government gave the most positive orders that no man Should be enlisted or ¢ngaged withia the territory of the United States, end that the neutrality laws of the United States should be strictly and scrupulously respested. But Mr. Maroy now contends that this was not enough, and though in conversation with Mr. Crampton, on the 22d of March, 1855, he eaid that he could not odject to any number of persons going to Nova Scotia, to be there enlisted, provided the neutrality laws of the United States were not infringed, he now argues that the enlistment in Nova Scotia of ms coming thither from the United Slates was a violation of the policy of the United States, and that not to respect that policy was an offeace on the part of Great Britain against the wovereiga rights of the United States. Now, in reply to this, the undersigned begs to observe, thatthe policy of a'nation in regard to ita internal arrange- mentomust be sought for in the laws of chat nation; that what those iaws forbid it must be understood to be the poli- cy of the State to prohibit, and that what those laws do not forbid it must be understood to be the policy of the State to allow. In every State, whatever may be its form of t, there isa sovereign pswer; that sove- reign power may impose upon the subjects or citizens of puch State whar duties, obligations, and restrictions it may think fit, and it is s neces: ary conclusion that when the sovereign power puts a limit to its enactments, whether of obligations or of probibition, it means to leave ite subjects or citizens free in regard to all matters not within thr enactments of the law. This principle ts, indeed, admitted by Mr. Buchanan’s note of the 6th of July, whereim he lays it down that the neutral policy of the United Sta ‘defined and enforced’ in tatute of 1818, Different countries have different laws in regard to the enlistmont of their subjects and citizens in the military and naval service of other States, and these I vary ac- cording to the different policy of these countries with re- apect to such matters, In Great Britain the law not only prohibits reerniting or enlisting within the British dominions for the service ny foreign State, without the permission of the sove- ign, but it goes further, and prohibits any subject of her Mojesty from so enlisting, even elsewhere, without the royal permission. The icy of Great Britain hence pears to be to prevent British subjec s from entering at all mto the service of foreign States without the permia- sion of the Crown. The law of the United States appears to be different. Her Msjo-ty’s government understood, and that under- standing ie confirmed by Mr. Buchanan’s note of the 6th of Juy, that the law of the United States only forbids enlistmente, reorui ing, and contracts or engagements within the United States, and hiring or retaining persons to quit the United States with intent to be enlisted elsewhere, but tt does not forbid citizens of the United States, who may have used their natural right of quit- ing the United States, to enlistinto the service of a oreign State when they have left their own country. The sovereign power of the United States might, if it had choren to do 0, have followed its citisens with a prohibt- tory enactment deyond the territoay of the United States; but it has not thought fit todo so, and the jas; and inevitable conclasion is that what it might have for- bidden, but has not forbidden, it has designealy allowed; that is to rey, in other words, that it is the policy of the United States to t foreign enlistments within the United Stater, but that it ts not the policy of the Unived States to forbid the citizens of the Unitea states to eniist, when out of the United States, into the service of foreign States, if they should choose to do #0, Such being the state of this matter. it is obvious that £ ! the British government cannot juaily be charged with icy of the Cited States, nor with sovereign rights, by taking into the Qneen’s military vies any persons, who, having come from the United States freely and without contract or engsgement into ® British territory, might there be dfsregard of th any. clsrenpect to Ling to enlist, Waneren questions at iseue between her Majesty's go- vernment and that of the United Sta‘es, are, whether the British oment ordered or contemplated any violation of the neutrality iaws of the United States ; whether, if the British government did not order or eon- tempiate such violation, thore Jaws were nevertheless violated by persons acting witn the authority or aporo- pation of the British gcvernment; and, lastly, whether. it apy violation of the iaw of the United S.ates did take place, sufficient ratixfactiin bas beea given to the go- verrment of that country. In regard to the first point, the British government neither ordered nor contemplated any victation whatever of the iawn of the United States, but, on the contrary, iar ued the most positive and repeated orders that thee laws should mot be infringed by aby persons ecting wB- ond fically meker this charge against Mr. Crampton, Jesty’s Minister at Woehington, and against ber y's Consuls at Civeinnatt, Philadelphia and Ne' ‘With reep: et to Mr. Crampton, the state that Mr. Crampton the charge brought » a PT never hired, or revained, or 2a single with. im the United Staten for the # of ber jesty, and that he never countenaaced or any \e- tion of the jaw of the (aited States. The cnarge sgaivst Mr. Cratopton is mainly founded upon grvem by Strobel op the tria! of Herta and on the so- called confession of Hertz himael’. One of Sunes porn Strobel, was, in ecnsequence of his misconduct, dismis: from employment by the Lieut. Gov. of Nova Scotia, at Halifax, ana afterwards appiied to Mr. Crampton, and en- deavored to extort money ‘rom him by a threat which was of course disregarded. The undersigned bas the honor te transmit as enclosures to this note documents which wuf- ficiently Boke, ‘that both Strobel and Hertz are wholly aa- worthy ofcrecit. Itis imporsible for her Majesty's 5° vernment foset the assertions of such men as tl against the declaration of Mr. Crampton—a man of un- questionable honor, The undersigned must, indeed, remark that the whole proceeding in rey to the tris! of Herts was of such @ uature that, her Mejesty’s Minister and her Ma- jesty’s Conguls might bo, aud indeed were, inoulpated the evidence of unscropulous witnesses, that Minister ‘those Consuls had not apy means or any opportunity of ae the are wed were thus imetdentally end ib With regard to ber Mojoety’s Consuls at Cin Philadelphia axd Now York, they all equally deny the charges which have been brought against them, and they ceslare that they have in no way whatever infringed the lewa of the Untied States, With respect to Ur. Rowcroft, her Majesty’s Consul at Cine!nnat), the undersigned haa to observe that legal pre- ctedings against that gentlemen are atill pending. As te the origin, character and nature of those proceedings the undersigned mignt have much to say; but as they are still penaing hy ebstains from dcing 80. He must, how- ever, be permitted to remark that it would, at allovents, be ixconsistent with the plaincst principles of justice te Ssraume as established charges which are still the subject matter of jucictal investigation. The accusation against Mr. Mathew, her Majesty’s Consul at Philadelphia, reats entirely upon assertions made by Hertz. Those assertions are positively denied by Mr, Math and her Majesty’s government cam ly believe that the government of the United = with the knowledge which it wiilhave obtained of the character of Hertz. will hesitate to concur with the porersaeens of her Majesty in giving credit to Mr, Mathew. With respect to Mr. Barclay, her Mejesty’s Consul at New York, he desiares that be neither favored the @l- leged recraiting or participated in it, nor wat informed ot the hiring, retaining or enguging any man for that ity’a government cannot but accept the de- gentlemen more worthy of belief than the orga and evidence of such men as Herts and trobel. But Mr. Marcy gonsiders that the conduct of Mr. Barclay in the affair of the bark Maury, ought to beam adoitional reason why her Majesty’s government should recall him. Upon this the undersigned must observe that Mr. Barclay received information on oath from per- fons in the service of the United States, leading to the Delief that the bark Maury was fitting out with designe hostfle to British interests, and at variance with the neutraliy Jaws ot the United States. Itwas Mr. Bare- lay’s bounden duty to communicate that information without delay to her Majesty’s Minister at Washingtom. Mr. Barelay did so, and his direst action inthe matter wes then atanend. Mr. Crampton submitted this infor~ maticn to the proper authorities of the United States, im order that they might determine what proceedings, if any. it might be right to take thereupon. The officers of the United States considered the prinia facie case against the Maury to be sufficient to call for proceedings on their part. Gveh proceedings were assordiogly instituted them, and not by Mr. , Whose conduct in to the Maury was in strict performance of hia duty, aad recetved the approval of her Majesty’s government. ‘With regard to the last point, the undersigned must refer to the cffers of aatisfaction, and to the explanations already mate, and to the repeated expressions of the sincere regret of her Mejesty’s [Sherrer Se to their intentions, and to their reiterate: pean recy has been any infringement of the laws of the Unit tates, The undersigned bas now bad the satis‘astion of com- municating to the government of the Uniled States the statements and ceclara'ions of her Majesty's Mininter at Washington, and of ber Majesty’s Consuls at Cincinnal Philadelphia and New York, as to the conduct tmpul tothem. The nt of the United States had been led te suppose thet the Jaw and the sovereign rights of the United States had not been respected by her Majesty's government, and relying w evidence deemed to be trustworthy, they b lieved that the law and those bad been infringed by British agents. If such had the case, the Agpeee of the United States have been entitled to demand, and her Msjesty’s go- verpment would not have hesitated to afford, the most ample satisfaction, for no discredit can attach to a frank ed mission sud complete reparation of an unquestionable wrong. Her Majesty’s government, however. unequivo- a lisclaim any intention either to infringe the law or to ope v4 u rir or not to respect the rights ofthe United States, and the government of uu ited Lea ee ie the first time ee jesty’s Minist at Washington, and ‘a Consuls at New York, Philadelphia and Cincinnati, se- lewnly affirm thet they have not committed any of the ate that have been imputed to thea. The government of the United States ay now ante oa the pe rae have an opportunity of weighing the ations of four gen- tiemen of uni pescbed hover anf integrity against evi- dence upon which no reliance ought to be placed. The undersigned cannot but express the earnest hope of her Majesty’s government that these explanations and aswu- Tances may prove satisfactory to the government of the United States, and effectually remove any misapprehen- sion which may have hitherto existed; and he saunot doubt tbat such a result will afford as much pleasure te the goverpment of the United States as to that of her Majesty, by puttingan end toa difference which has been deeply regretted by her Majesty’s government; for are no two countries which are hound by stronger ties or al Great F tain to maintain unbroken the perfect cordiality and friendship.

The Louisville Democrat of the 19tb inst. says, the 24 of June, 10, will be a memorable day in the history of political party conventions, The assemblage of demo- cratic delegates and citizens, from every quarter, in Cin- cinnati, on that day, will be the largest) and the most en- ‘thu and imposing that has ever been seen in these United States. It will be the great democratic ont of 1856. It is said that the rooms in most of the hotels are already d; and that orders are being datly re- ceived, ber ‘ing accommodations for distant visiters. Many are apprehensive that those who may not have se- cured locgings before their arrival will be troubled to get accommodations. Let no one give over the trip from eara of that sort. The courtesy and hospitality of our democratic friends of the Queen City will be a guarantee against such disappointments. On Saturday, Suoday, and Sunday night, before the day of meeting, the boats and railroad cars will be crowded with democratic pas- sengers, and we think it would be alt proper, and certainiy a very great accommodation, i notices could be posted on the boats, cars, and at the hotels, informing our demceratic friends who may read, where ean be Socommodated with convenient and comfortable boarding or loogings, either at hotels or private boarding houses. We have no doubt the democracy of Cincinnati will have an eye to this. Might it not be well for city pay to as- sure strangers at a distanee, who may wish to atthe mammoth gathering, inst any on the above score? It wor doubtless bring many to thefConvention who would otherwise stay away. NEBRASKA DELEGATES.
