not very doubtful charac- f Herts Ja strobel, is it true that | cere ue ‘and ue rges are ‘ ton und ‘the three Consuls? With Consuls, 1 may observe that the Mika by Mir” Bafclay, and, Woking written . the Pod made against that gen- 2, as regards the bark Maury, pecruiting, I think itis clear that Mr. lay was ee from ail complicity. (Hear, hear.)

But between this Howe and Mr. Hartz bomes inathird person, unt that third person is Consul iathew. He says in the 34th page, tha: Hertz’s con- sion was « tissue of falsehoots, and he wa: ceter- ined to know nething about Hertz or anything of hia p pgs. Well, that is the kind of answer we some- mes receive in committee rooms iv this house when in onvenient questions are pt to wituesse» about acts done elections and money misapplied there; in that case hey tell us they know pothing of the use to which that nowey wes applied. Consul Mathew says—‘‘At his Hertz’s) earnest request, I trause ited a sealed let er to Bowe, and bandet him a repiy, con uining, 1 believe, money.”? Well, that is very cau. ous On @he part of Consul Mathew, when we remem. © that bis belief was not formed without good i ny ad tudicient ands, for this reasop—that he took receipt for the money (laughter)—“for which,” he ys, “Hertz gave a receipt, made out to Mr. H , and incloxed by me to him.’ Mr. Mathew was al- jays very judicious; the receipt was not madeout to him; Hertz «wears wrongiully thet the receipt was made out to Ponsul Matthew ; but it wa made out to Howe. Mr. Ma hew handed money from Howe to Hertz; he took a re- ipt from Hertz aud sent it back to Howe. ‘On a second cation,’ be says, “I deciined to give him the money, sh merely the chanpei of transfer and the amount faz pent ¢o the proprietor of an hotel, from whose book- eeper be received it.” (Hear. hear.) These are net or casual expressions. for much further on in the ook Consul Mathew travels over the same ground. de rhe hamded mouvey from Howe to Hertz; he sent he money by a circuitous chanvel; and there 1s no doubt * sept Kin that way in order that it might be the more iffioult to trace. (Hear, hear.) Can there be a doubt as p the character of that act? Is there any lawyer who ll say thag in a committee of this House Consul Mathew ouid not have been held to be implicated ia the proceed- bg: of Howe, or that the Aimerivay goverameat were ot right in the view they took upon this poiutr (Hear, war.) ‘Then, sbail 1 be told that this was the proceeding Cogsu!

Mr. ram)top again, with perfect propriety, sent home to d Ciarendon Mr. Mathew’s letter, together with has wn letter of approval, and on the 2d of November Lord mxion acknowledges he receipt of that communica- m in the following terms :— T have received your despatch of the 15th ult., and its enclo- res, respecting the proceedings which have been taken in the nited Siates District Court at Philadelphia, inthe case of jeury Hertz, who has been pronounce: guilty of having vio- the neuirality law's by enlisting recruits for the British my; and Ihave to state to you that rove the answer ugh you returned to Mr. Cousul Mathew's communications ‘you upan this subject.

(Hear, hear) The chief points urged in defence of the government are Apelogy and the abandonment. Ihave already spoken he apolory. Now, where is the abandonment? = This w Of the most mysterious and singular parts of a » which contains much that is singular and mystert. The honorable mewber for Montrose said the mia- was no roouer discovered by the government tian ae correcte!. And inst year @ quest on was put by cigilauce of the honorable and learnce member for fei. (Mr. Roebuck,) to which the noble lord at the jd of the government gave an answer that was very sictory to the country, The noble lord «nid tat not ly bod recruiting been abandoned in the United states, that even our deyot at Holiax bad beeu abandoned the exercise of av unquestioned right had been tore. e rather than the risk showd be run of baving t htest mieanderetanding wi the A werican govern t Lan astoniebed fo Boe the evidenee ae to thit tit abeolutely demands a fuil, detatied and jauation. f June, Lord Clarendon ad see & leiter to Mr, Crampton, which may be von @:! ae ay order for the abanconment of the recruiting The noble lord = that the aban’ onment the desire e Minister for War, and ors Will be addressed to the Governors Scotia snd Canada If letters contain. erders had been so sent, the Proceetings l’ bave been altogether discontinued. The su vent cotre-pondence agsumes that they were dis- inued. end consequently when the American govern: at amuch later period complained of their contin. ice they were taunted with the fact that even bef «i time to make a complaint—namely, on the of June—the sebeme had been ed. it or was it not abandoned? Now, I am dent that the letter of the 22d of June was in- ied tw be sent, buteome wnt rtunate mishap appears we befalien it; we donot know the course it took, no explanation respecting it is given. A careful con- on of the dates of the alleged abandonment is im- t, because the Americans have been condemned in country as highly unreasonable on account of having ined of acta whieh had been an eni to long 6 those complaints were made. is a most im pt statement if true, but a most extraordinary fie. tif not trne, and a grievous wrong to the Awerican pment. (Har.) Lam convinoed that there was no ntionad misstatement made with regard to the time at h the abandonment of the recruiting system of her ee EE : i f Hf Ministers in abandoning those proceedings. that the abandonment of recruiting took place on the 220 of June, but, as I have pointed out to the Hoase, the jetters ordering a discontinuance of the system reached Mr. Crampton only on the 24 of August, and Halifax on the 17th of the same month. It appears to mo; then, that we originally commenced a system of concealment to- wards the American government; and not only,did we do tbat, but we also adopted measures calculated to mislead them. (Hear, hear.) It appears that we took the most tru-tworthy opinion as to the law of the United States, and not only acted against that opinion, but continued to do so for many mont the time at which we professed to have abandoned the course which we had commenced. After this can the House gay that the American government had no just cause for complaint ? Can we refuse to admit a wrong to America because the government asserts that no wrong whatever has been done? 1t appears to me to be that sort of case which scarcely admits of further argument or il- justration. If itis to be made a matier of dispute that any cause of complaint has been given to the government of the Unitee States, then I think that we may fold our urms in despair and gay, “Even in this imperfect world some things have hitherto been held to be reui, and be- yond the possibility of a doubt; but henceforth nothing is certain, there is nothing upon which reliance can be placed, there is nothing which may not be made a sub- ject for captious aisputation.”” It is said that there is no- ‘(bing in the instructions of the British government to cause a wrong to the American government. Now, what is the real fact? Lord Clarendon gays that anything short of the conclusion of an actual contract to enlist wit the limits of the United States may be done, and innocently dove. Now, that is one way of avoiding responsibility, because a contract 13 governed by the lez loci, and, there fere, a contract to enlist could not be concluded at all, and he then goes on to say to the agents of the govern: ment, “You may persuade persons to enust, you may as- sist them in so doing, you may pay their passage to a place where they can be enlisted,” although such an opi- ion was contrary to the opinion of the American courts, contrary to the opinion of his own law officers, and con tary to the declaration of Mr. Lumiey himself, the agent of the Britisn government. Well, but, says the hon. member for North Warwickshire, * The Ameri- can government has accepied the apologies which have been made’? Now, air, I cannot admit that such is the case, although I do not seek to detract from the force of what they have done. A most extraordinary state of things has been brought about. (Hear, hear.) The American government acauits the British government, but at the same time punishes Mr. Crampton and the three Consuls, while the British government maintains and acquiesces in the acte of its agents, and yet accepta with satisfaction ite own acquittal. (Cheers.) This is a ‘imple, unadorned statement; it contains no heightened epituets, and, indeed, 1 do not think that any epithet could beigbten it (Hear, hear.) Mr. Crampton has been made a scapegoat—by whom is a question which I will not discuss—but I want to know whether it would vot be contrary to the charocter and practice of this fiouse, when there is no single action of Mr. Crampton which bas not wet with the approval of the government, to allow any distinction to be drawn between the pro- ceedings of Mr. Crampton and those of the British govern- ment. (Loud erfes of “Hear.””) I admit fully the honorable conduct ia tiis respect Of those who sit upon the Treasury beven, be they do not attempt to draw any such distinction ‘The dismissal of Mr. Crampton was Guher wright or wrong. Now, the honorable and learne¢ member for Leominster says that it is the undoubted right of avy State to ask for the withdrawal of any Minister accredited to it at its own pleasure, and without assigning any reason: Now, I am not, like the honorable and learned gentlemen, qualified profession- ally to deal with that subject; but, from referring to authorities upon the subject, I am inclined to thwk that some reason should be assigned, and m the present instance the American government ‘have admit- ted that principle, because they have assigned a reason. But, sir, What an extraordinary course is that adopted by the honorable and learnod gentleman! The honora- She aut tnaseed gentleman says tha! the American gov- erpment bad a perfect right to demand the dismissal of Mr. Crampton, and he gives that as a reason for support- ing the conduct of a ministry which, when the demand was made, refused to comply with it. (Hear, hear.) That, appears to me aconsiderable anomaly. (Hear, bear.) The American goveroment had either receiv just Cause for offence or not. If it had not, then ft had no right to make the demand for the recal of Mr. Cramp- ton, and the dismissal of that gentleman ought not to bave been accepted as it has been. (Hear, hear.) And, whatever happens, the government ought not to allow matters to remain in their present doubtful and anoma- jous state; for to allow Mr. Datlas to remain here, and at the same time by not replacing Mr. Crampton, to ex- bibit « certain amount of ili feeling to the American gov- ernment, does not redound to the credit or honor of the country. It we send a substitute for Mr. Crampton, it is going far towards admitting that the Americans have re- ceived just cause for offence, and that they have can any one in this House doubt? The question is one which the American government had _a perfect right to raise. It might have been a more generouse co irse not to raise it, but no one can dispute its right to raise it. We commenced by a course of concealment, and even now, so far as the vast majority of the public, and even mem- bers of this House are concerned, the whole affair is 80 complicated with dates and events, which require eat pains and study to extract from these papera, 80 long buried in the archives of the Foreign office, that very imperfect information existe, The ultimate judgment, however, ot this House and of the country is not doubt- fui, as may be gleaned from the characte’ of this debate. The honorable gentleman opposite (Mr. Spooner) has de- ecated the policy of raising the present discussion, but » carefully avoided giving any opinion upon its merits. The honoraole member v3 oe ponte rig h pay de- fending the proceedings of the government, but he says that they do not deserve the censure of this House of Commons, and he has condescended to throw upon Mr. Crampton the responsibility which ought to belong to his employers. Itis impoesible that the result of tais discus- sion can be any but one. I do vot deny that it is a quos- on which deserved discussion ip this Hous. I do not know what way be the intentions of the honorable gen- tleman who made the motion, not being in his conusels, but he has acted on his privilage as an Independent mom- her, fal hear. to which has taken place will, I believe, not be altogether free from inconvenience, butt am certain that it will have this great advantage, that it will tend to the rea! elucidation of the facts. (Hear, hear.) It is for the true, substantial, and permanent interest of the two should be elucidated. (Hear, hear.) If the Ame- rican people are made aware of the facts, they will take care that their government does not beediessly carry them into a quarrel. The English people, too, when properly informed on the subject will ‘aleo exercise a similar salutary influence, and this debate is the first effort made to bring a know: ledge of the facts to the mind of the English people. (Hear, bear) Hitherto the facta have never beon brought to the tert of argument. They have been the property of the writers, or of persons using them for pur- jeses of their own: and they were now for the first time exponed to free disc . Twas sorry when the noble lord at the bead of the goverument atiempte! to put a close to this debate last night, but 1do not sunpose that cussion is of the moet agreeable character to the Kor mt. (Laughter.) I grant that my noble friend ach oo und general rule in Pies the weight of his wuthor ity against the practice of frequent adjournments of debate; but the importance of this matter is hardly to be overstated. (Hear, bear.) The facts with respect to \merican law are too clear for sophistry itself to dis- guise. (Bear, hear.) If it were possible to insure the real study of the bine book by all the members of this House, there would be no serious difference of opivion remaining as to whether the American law had been ob- serve’ or not. If persons responsible for the couse- quences of their opinions were prepared jo take this question, I should not hesitate to give my adbesion to an authentic expcersion of the seatiment of the Honse; but in an abstract vote ot censure, I am not prepared to participate. When the honorable genile- man opposite said this was @ party question, I could sot help hoping that he would not give tho weight of bis character against party combinations in this Louse, which are associated with some of the best chap. tore in our history. When I look back to the period when party combinations were strong in this house— when Sit R. Peel was ou those (the opoosition) benches, end Lord Jobn Russell on these, | think, though many mistakes and errors were committed on both sides, that on the whole the government of the counsry was hunor. ably al iciently carried om, (Hear, hear.) | believe that the day for this country will be a happy day when yarty combinations shall be restored on such a footing, Hint thie question, instead of being a party question, is @ kable ilustretion of the disorganized state of and of the consequent impotency of the House of Commone to express a practical epinion vith respect to the foreign pobey of the couniry. (Hear, hear) Under hese cireumstances, the only resource left to me is the neigguised expression of the opinions which 1 strongly ved conrcientiously Geren erroneously) fee after the tady of these papers. I bave had the privilege of ox- preseing thove opinions freely and strongly—a privilege whieh f would not have wa'ved on any account when I consider the bearing of toe ee with respect to the Ame- rican alliance which Iso bighly prize; or with reapect to tha which I still more highly prize and more dearly love —the honor an 4 fair fame of my country. (Cheers.) Mr. Jows M'Grecor here caused much merriment by attempting to address the House during tue abecnce of the Speaker, who quitted the chair for a fow minutes for the purpose of obtaining some slight refreshment. The honorable member, on baving his attention directed to the fact of the chair being vacant, resumed his seat amidst roars of laughter. On the return of the Speaker, Mr. J. PritiMore explained that when be alluded to Judge Kane’s change of opinion, he meant not to imply anything but that the change was conscientious. ‘he Solicitor-General was then about to address tho Houre, when Mr. Jony M’GrEcoR, amidst general cries of “Order,” interporod. He said he rose to order, and moved the adjournment of the debate. © Syeaken informed the bonorable membor that, xc cording to the rules of the House, a member rising to order must speak to order, and could not move the ad- journment of the Howse. (‘ Hear,” and langhter, The Soricrror Gexwnat professed to disbelieve Mr. Gladstone could be in earnest; being unable to eounect his arguments with his couclusion, he assumed that his speech was a mere intellectual exercitation. Mr. Glad stone, he observed, had been bold enough to assert that the American government did not know their owa cage, NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 18, i856. and that they not to have been Mr. Marcy, in bis letter of the 27th of May, most cleo:ly announced that the American government were abundantly satisfied that there never was any intention on the part of the British government either to offend their municipal law, or to trench upon what termed their sovereign rights, The Solicitor General addressed himself te the facts relied upon by Mr Gladstone, having previously given ap exposition: picipa! law of America went meets forbi bir- been violated; and that right of sovereignty was the municipal law; co that tho question was od not found ia the American law, had been ‘used by Mr, to the Inngnage permitted, he said, to be used by an with the resuls of such an inquiry, and consented to of the }: inciples ap- Vilcable to (cea, ebocreing Gras totarcaienal law pronint ted Solna actual enrolling of whereas the mu- ing Or engaging within the territory; that there could be no breach of int law, if the municipal law had not nothing more than the power of preventing the of soldiers within the territ » which was em in there had been an infraction of the letter of tbat law, whicl being in resicaint of liberty, must be constru strictly; and he denied that there had been any infrac- tion; the word ‘‘recruiting,’’ he remarked, which was Marcy in a most general and indefinite manner. a ring to the proceedings at the trials in the United States, an federal government, he asked the House te the Britian government should have been stis- recall our Minister ut the suggestion of the American go- vernment, founded upon that inquiry. Nothing had been done that was not the natural of Foreign Enlistment act, which passed while Mr. Gladstone was a member of the government, for no place could be resort- ed to for the purposes of that act with propriety than the United >tstes, where many subjects wer) resident. Sir J. Paxiyctor and Mr. Joux M’Greaor rose at th» be ig one the nabl, boneesive Danae was calles: upon by the Speaker. ir. M’Gregor, however, mani- fested some unwillingness to give way, and, amid laugh- terand loud cries of ‘Order,’ said that he wished t> speak to order. After ramon 3 for some moment endeavoring to gain a hearing, Mr. M’Gregor resumed seat, Sir J. Paxincron agreed with Mr. Gladstone that the time was come when the House of Commons might fairly address itself to this painful subject, and he thought that if it shrank from this discussion, which, in his opinion, would do nothing but good, the House would abandon its duty. He believed that no dispassionate man could rise from the perusal of the papers without feeling that the conduct of her Majesty’s government had been sucu as to compromise the cl or of the government of this country, and to endap the peace of the world, while they had been compelled to offer a humiliating 4| tothe United States, and to -ubmit to the indignity of having their anbassador dismissed, rensible that their “ondvet would not justify retaliation. Although he con- ieooed that the subject had been nearly exhausted by Mr. Gladstone, he passed in review some of the prominent topics, insisted that the facts bore out the charge of the Americay government, and observed t) st these transae- tions had taken ploce ut @ time when every prudent gov ernment would have exercised the greatest caution noi to add to the difficulties of the Central American question. Lord PALMERSTON rose, and was about to address the House, when Mr, ‘barINcK moved the adjournment of the debate. ‘The SreakER said the honorabie member was too late, and that Lord Palmerston was in possession of the House. (Hear, bear.) Lord Patwerston—Notwithstanding the doubt which the right honorab‘e baronet who addressed us last ex- pressed aa to whether the honorable member who made the motion would think it necessary to press it to a di- vision, and notwithstanding the effort made by the hono- rable gentleman who just now presented bimeelf, unfor- tunately for himscif, a little too late (laughter), I do hope the Houso will think it necessary to pronounce an opin- jon uy the motion which is now submitted, and whica is no less than a yote of censure upon the gover ament. (Hear, hear.) I trust the House will feel ita duty not longer to delay pronouncing an opinion upon this ques- tion, and not allow to remain in suspense the question whether tae government, which hitherto has enjoyed the confidence of the House 14 of the country, is hence- forward to rest under the cevsure of this important body. (Hear, hear.) The henorable member who made the mution began by saying {nu\ he called upon the House to pronounce an opipion in + ju tictal capacity, and that the debate should be conducte. with juaicial calmness. But no sooner had the hon. member made the exhorta- tiog, than be began, and continued during the remainder of his speech, to indulge in a perfect tisaue of personalities Psa <a up up everything he could find in the treasures of his memory, putting forth all the calumnies which in former times liad buen uttered against my noble friend Loxd Clarendon, and, by dwelling upon the name of my neble friend in every alternate sentence of his speech, the hon. member eudeavored to create an im- pression thnt there was Ppony! in these transactions to separate Lord Clarendon from his co!'eagues, and that the cen: of this House, which he invoked, should fall upon that one member of the government, and not equal!y upon all. The tenor of that speech was as uncon- atitutional as, I trust, the object of the motion is un- founded. It has been well said by those who fol owed the hon. member that there is no individuality in that member of the government who is charged by the office he bolds with the conduct of these great transactions, but that all bis coleagues are equally responsible. I can assure the House we are prepared, in the fullest sense of the word, to adopt the entire responsibility for anything which Lord Clarendon has said or written upon this ques- tion. (Hear.) ‘The hon, member for Invernessshire (Mr. Baillie) began by referring wo the origin of these transac- tions, viz., that act authoriz'og the crown to have re- course to foreign troopt for the purposes of the war. He told us how, ip 1813, there were I don’t know how many thourand men in arms, and tbat ten years after the war began there was a great increase in the force with which we began, while, one year after the late war had com menced we had not completed the number of men whic had been voted by Parliament. | shall not go back to th discussion which took place upon that bill, but the groun upon which we proposed it, and upon which my righ honorable friend, the member for Oxford University (ir. Gladetone,) concurred, (hear, hear,) was that, in country whose army was raised by rueers eulistrieo ‘apd not by conscription, the means of rapidly increasin tbe number of soldiers did not exist to such an extent as t render a recourse to other means unnecessary. Tha bill having become law, it became the duty of ber y’8 government to carry it into eifect. We heard that there were a number of persons residing in the United States—some of them Lritish sub- jects, some Germans—who had removed from their own countries from various causes, who were desirous of joing the ranks of the British army, and to take part in a war which they considered to be a rightful and a just.war. (Hear, bear.) We determined to enteavor to avail Ourselves’ of the aid of those persons, and m; right honorable friend (Mr. Gladstone) and those who sit near bim were parties to the: determination. (Hear, hear.) I cannot allow my right honorable friend, who ‘must admit that he was a party to the © tablishment of a recruiting system in Nova Scotia, to say that that system was intended solely for the enlistment of British subjects resident in the British provinces, but it was intended distinctly and avowedly to enlist persons coming from the United Stotes; and | cannot allow my right honorable friend to own himeeif a party to that arrangement with. out having been aware of the results that must flow from it. (Hear, hear.) That system was determinod upon; but atthe same time the government determined, also, tbat notbing should be done that was at variance with the municipal laws of the United States. A distinction has been attempted to be drawn between national law and municipal law, between the internal regulation and the sovereign ‘rights of a nation; but that sophistry bes been blown away by the speech of my honor- abie and learned friend the Solicitor General (a laugh) who demonstrated in the clearest manver that municipal law could not be construed beyond its enactments, and therefore it ia a fallacy to say you can conform to the mu- pal law forbid ng enlistments, and yet be violating fonal rights. Was the municipal law of the violated? I maintain that itwas not. It ‘was not violated by order of this government—it was not violated in consequence of any instructions issued by them or to their knowledge by any officers acting under their cetruction. It is centended that it was violated b; their officers acting indiscreetly and with over zeal. ‘Those officers deny that assertion, and according to their interpretation of the law of the United States it is manifest that they did nothing at variance with that law. Who is 4o interpret that law? It is a’ that tore was a counsel who gave an opinion; but there was also a judge who gave on opinien; and if Judge Kane knew then what the law of the United States was, then it ie clear that nothing was Cone by our agents that was a violation of the law. It is said that Judge Kane afterwards altered his opinien; vot when was that? In September. He gave his fret opinion in May. Our operations ceased in Joly, and therefore, eo far as the conduct of the «fhoers of this government is concerned, that was berne ovt by the high authority of a judge of the United States. It's also said that, notwithst ading, prool was given to the government of the United States that things were cone which were a violation of their laws. No doubt things were done in violation of the laws by persons not authorized to by any person commissioned by the Dritish government. Prosecutions took place, and in some cases Lacy succeeded, in others they failed, It haa Deen eaid that no prosecutions could be instituted against Mr. Crampton, because he was protected by his diplo- matic character, That argument does not apply to the as is contended by the United to Upited State Consuls. If they had, States government, violated the law, why were they not cuted? (Hont, hear.) The right honorable mom " Ver for. Manchester (Mr. Gibson) reterred to the ease of Mr. Curtis im Prussia, but Mr. Curtis was actually prose- cuted, (Hear.) We thought, and still believe, that the proceedings upon that trial were not fair and just, and the same option seems to have exieted in’ Prussia, for akthough Mr. Curtis was condemned the King immediately ordered bis release and granted a full pardon. Why did not the American go vernment act in the same manner towards vur Consuls? Of the three Consuls who have been dismiseed none have been brought to trial, Proceed Against Stanley have also been discontinued by the authority of the United Statee government; and, therefore, 1 am warranted in saying that the accusatic agninst Mr. Crampton’and the three Consuls rest u; testimony of those witnesses who are admitted o a is to be men of the vileat and basest character, » be utterly unworthy of credit, (Hear, hear.) Thon it that We practised deception and concealment upon tho United States government, Why, sir, Mr. Crampton, ‘n hie conversation of the 27th of March, stated fully and fairly to the American government that which they must already have known without his statement—namely, t at the British government was taking measures {1 Halifax to receive those persons coming the United States who might be Maem 4 wo engnee im our militery service. But then it is that Mr, Crampton dii not go afterwards to Mr. Marcy and toll him day by day whet he was doing. Why did not Mr. Maroy seat for Mr. Crampton if he were informed that ings were taking place on the part of British authorities which wore at verianee with the law of the United States? (Hoar, bear.) Why, if any foreign agent in this country were supposed to be acting at variance with British law, does any ee Svar en teh sire would for him the very next day after receiving such int , ask him for explanation, sift the ter to the bottom, and allow no misu exist? (Cheors.) Is that the conduct of the Amocican government? No! Month after month they allow t things to go on, never send for Mr. Crampton, nevor tell him what it was supposed he was guilty of doing; they allow these things to accumulate in order that, when the proper time arrives, they may either take adyautage of pe, ‘and act upon them, or deal with them as matters which do not deserve consideration, (Cheers.) The. say, sir, there was an abstinence on the part of + United States government from those steps which it was their duty to take if they onan that the agents of foreign. nations were wiouing laws of the Union. (Hear, hear.) But then when her Majesty’s government, at a very early period, found that these proceedings were likely to produce em! the two coun- tries, they suspended—or, rather, they definitively stopped of their own accord—these arrangements, An honorable gentleman has criticised the dates, and has stated that these instructions were not acted upon Surely, however, a question of weeks or i A LA} matter of #ort—(a laugh, these proceed were likelj bo be-cmberrensing. own accord, directed that they should ‘Hear, hear.)

(Hear, hear.) Den’t tell me of verbal apologies. I say the apelogy of deeds was one in- finitely more valuabie—infinitely more satisfactory to the government of America—a greater proof of the desire of the British government that nothing should occur to in terrupt the friendly relations between the two countrie than any verbal apology that could have been offered (Cheers.) I say, theu, sir, there ts no question abou concealment, there is no question about deception, ther is Do question about our not having made reparation fo the offence, if any offence bad been committed. (Hear hear.) But, it is declared, we ought to have acknow ledged that we did wrong. Why, we did not believe we had done wrong; we did rot believe we had deliberately violated the laws of the Union; we neither intended this, nor do we believe, in our understanding of those laws, that they have been violated by any authorized British ent. (Hear, hear) We, however, received com- plaints from the United States government, -and intima tions that our agents ought to be'withdrawn. In reply t that we sent detailed statements from them, proving, a we thought and hoped, to the satisfaction of the United States government that their impression was erroneous, and that nothing had been done which justified the dis- satisfaction they had expressed. In answer to that the United States government said they were satisfied with regard to the conduct of her Majesty’s government, that all questions between the two government had ceased and were settled; but that, nevertheless, they still retained their epinion in respect to the British agents, and that they therefore dcemed those agents unacceptable or, of communication between the two countries. What, then, was the course which we had to We had to determine whether, in such a state of things, we could give measure for measure, retaliate upen Mr. Dallas the Measure adopted with regard to Mr, Crampton, and with. draw the exequators from the American Consuls in Eng- Jand in return for the withdrawal of their exequaturs from. the English Consuls in the States. Sir, thi ernment did not deem it their duty to advise her to take those eteps (bear, hear); and notwithstanding what has been gaid in debate, I am still of opinion that that de- cision has met, and will continue to meet, the approval apd concurrence of the country. (Cheers.) Sir, it is indeed a most curious circumstance to watch the language of "gentlemen who have taken part in this debate. Both sides are vehement in their declara- tion of the vast importance of maintain’ between the two countries. All abound in ir assur- ances that that wish is at the bottom of their hearts and is the most anxious object of their lives. And yet, here bappening to be a case in which a question has arisen be tween two countries which, as far as the governments are concerned, has been terminated in a manner deemed satisfactory to both, gentlemen on the other side of the House are loud in their denunciations that England has been insulted. (Cheers sad counter-cheers.) The inter- course of nations takes place between governments, and an insult to the government {s an imsult to the country. These gentlemen, then, 80 auxious tor peace, tell you that England has been msuites, treatea with contumely, con- tempt and indignity. What 1s the effect likely to be pro- duced? Why, to excite in the people of Engiand a spirit of resentment towar’s their neighbors and kindred in the United States. Gere cheers.) Anybody who is uainted with the cLaracter of Englishmen must know tuat if you tell them they have been insulted, treated with contempt, exposed to indignity, the bulk of the na- tion, without, perhaps. very much investigating the foundation of such assertions, wiil take them upon trust, especially when they come from such high authority: ‘They will say, ‘If the leaders of a great party—the coun try party—hold that language, we must indeed have been grossly insulted, and let us resent the insult go offered to us.” Then I say that, as far as honorable gentlemen op- posite go, they lay the foundation for enmity between the two countries. (Ministerial cheers.) After that comes my right bonorable friend the member for the University of Oxford, and he tells the Americans that their govern inent has been deluded, has been persuaded to accept an apology which they ought not to have accepted; that their laws have been violated intentionally by the govern- Er Meno ly: emer shen «yg Sowers meeting that injury in the manner’ which becomes the govern- ment of a great and mdependent nation, their govern. ment bave accepted an apology and expressed themselves satisfied, when, on the contrary, they ought to have de clarec themselies affronted and injured.

Is that the way to per- suade the American people to cultivate the most friendly feelings towards this country?

Well did they foresee, in endeavoring to dis suade him from proceeding with his motion the consequences: ew | to result from it, when ch both sides of the House topics have been start + ed, arguments have been employed, which, instead of leading to the clover union of the two nations, instead of effacing mutual ar/mosity, are caloul to excite augry Passion*. to enliet the feelings of the two countries in the cifferer re whieh have unhappily arisen, to embitter their intercor end reader it more difficult to bring about a more iiwuble anderstanding on the points at issue. (Hear, hear) Iwill not, at this late hour, detain the House with many more observations. It is quite unne- cessary to do so. The House is now called upon to de- termine whether there sball be passed upon the govern ment a vote of censure. The Hon. member for Mayo Degan his speech by deprecating all quibbling evasions, as he chiled it—all words which-might be distorted into scoething beyond what they really expressed. Sir, 1 thtnk he might have criticised his own motion. (Hear, and laughter.) 1 think it would have been much more manly and straightforward on his part if, instead of cortenting himself with a sort of evasive decla ration that the government are not entitled to the approbation of the Hoare, he had at once come forward and expressed the feelmg which was no doubt uj permost in his mind—that the government has le itself deserving of the censure of the House. (Cheers. It would have been much more manly to come _ with a regular vote of censure than to disguise di: bation under the pretence of refusing approbation, which has not been asked for, (Loud Lag 1 accept the vote of the right honorable , the member for the University, and I should be sorry indeed if anything I have #att should Induce him to alter bis determination, (Cheers and laughter.) Iknow we must not look a gift horre in the mouth—(loud laughter)—but I certainly do not think that the reason he has givep for his vote will convince many gentlemen who have not already made up their minds upon the question.

Bot I think many gentlemen will be of opinion that that difficulty could be easily got over, thut it could very well be solved by half an hour's private conversation between the right rable gentle. men who sit there, (Sir J.

We stand upon what we think better and higher ground. (Hear.) We are of opinion, although it may be Preaump ate it, that we have during a difficult period the affairs of the country to the satisfaction of nation, and with honor and advantage to the public torest (cheers); we believe that the confidence which lis House has hitherto shown us, is shared by the coun- try af large.

We ask for a continuation of the contidence of the House, pot upon the ground that there may bea difenity in finding other persons to fill our pisces, but because we think we hare done nothing to for. eit their good,opinion. (Cheers.) Trusting to these con derations, trusting to the good opinion which the House bas hitherto expressed towards ua, trusting to the good will which we believe is felt for us by the country, and not to the argument of my right hon. friend, that no other government can be formed, we challenge the hon. mem- from Mayo to come to a division (cheers), and we contident that the result will be suchas we think our duet deserves.

The necessity of governing such extended regfors and such various races of men bas given the Ot- toman Porte a character of its owt. Turkey has never been a mere Mussulman Power, like Morocco, or the Se goed whch we have overthrown in India; and yet the babits of Asiatic despotism have flourished even to our own time, and the Sultan bas been as much master of his people as the potentate of Bokhara or Herat.
