You were quite right when you stated your belief that England had not given up the right of visit or search—that, in fact, she had surrendered nothing; for yesterday's debate in the House of Lords clearly shows that the right of search never existed, and was merely assumed by England to secure a certain object. Lord Aberdeen was even so good natured aa to say that he considered the question substantially settled in 1842-3, when, thanks to the energetic protest of General Cass, then our Minister in France, the quintuple treaty was defeated. England fpen, as now, disclaimed the right; for the very attempt ta obtain the consent of other nations to its exercise by a treaty was a public acknowledgment that it did exist per se. Then, as now, England only de- sired to verify the flag, and for that purpose at- tempted to enter into treaty stipulations with other Powers. The results of the negotiations ia 1842-3 are known, and something similar to them is now expected here, only that more stringent measures will be pressed on our govermment than those which were agreed to in regard to the suppression of the slave trade on the coast of Africa. The Emperor of the French, | have good reason to know, has sig nified his willingness to co-operate in such a movement, while he has intimated to the British government, in a manner which left no doubt as to the earnestness of his intentions, that he would wever consent to have French vessels searched aud insulted as the American‘were. England being thus estopped from interpolating a law of ner own lute the public law of nations, consulted her lawyers, who at once made a virtue of necessity by decir that the United States were right in deoyiog existence of such a jaw; and the British governinent, in conseqnence, desisted from the assumpcion of it The question of right, theretors, is set at rest, and ta assumption is also forthe preseut disposed of, "housch it may at some future tige be reconsidered ay a ques tion of polity. Our Min here, Mr. Dallas, has acted ve ly in giving to bis interpretation of Lord \ bary's declarations ail the publicity only his sentiments on the subject, delivered very clearly | and sensibly on the occasion of @ late national ban , led, no doabt, to the explanations turuisued uy ord Lyndhurst and the tardy recognition of Lod Aberdeen. For a man of eighty-six g mt | acquitted himself remarkably well—m better to am Lord Aberdeen; yet, alter all said and done, where is the guarantee that England will never a rain as- some a right which she admits does not exist, though she has ny agora exercised it? Our safety is in our union, in our abandonment of our foolish section. al strifes, and in the wisdom and firmness of our national adininistration, Had the Kansas imbroglio not intervened England might have never as sumed the right; had the wwdom aad firmuess of President Buehanan not settied that question on a solid basi«, England might never have surrendered the assumption. Your editorials on that subject have been read with great interest here in London, and elsewhere, and bave had their due influence. Your doubts as to the sincerity of the British goverament have had the efiect of making the British press more explicit on the subject, and have, no deubt, contributed to bring about the tempoflicial deciarativns a Parlin nent A very important subject iy now being considered by the siberal party of kngland by which the com mercial and uavigating interests of the States are deeply aflected.

The question, in Cnived re to the abel England, pr o doubt great difficulties, becanse it involves .. mw y i. -cances, vested rights either in individuals or corporations. At the instigation of Lord Clarence Paget, however, a royal couuaission has issued to mvestigate the matter, and to re port in due time to Parliament. Several legisla tive caucuses, numbering from twenty-five to thiy members, of both houses, have been held on subject, and it deserves to be mentioned th oI ate American Minister was the only one invitec tend them.
