THE GEORGIA iN THE MERSEY. mg to England on Her Violations of Maritime Law. In the House of Commons, on the 13th of May—as veported by tolegraph from Halifax—Mr. T. Banine called attention to the fact that ai armed steamer was now io Me port of Liverpool, which, haviug been originally tanned and equipped in British ports, bad preyed apon the commerce of « friendly nation, and’ bad never been in any port of the belligerent under whose flag she sailed; and asked whether the admission of sych vessels to Brit: eh harbors was consisient with our international obliga. Mons, our professions of neutrality, and the pre- servation of British interests. The ‘incident, he ob. aerved, seemed to him of an extraordinary’ charac- and to raise @ question of considerable importance. Be detailed the history of the vessel referred to ¢the @eorgia), which had been built ov the Clyae and clandes- timely equipped by a Liverpool firm, and gavea short parrative of its subsequent proceedings. Without going imto Lhe mazes and niceti iotervational law, taking & ‘common sense view of that law, the question was whether ‘wm this matter we were doing what we were bound to ao Sowards others; and what guarantee had we, he asked, Wat other vessels of the same character might not fol: dow, and onr neutrality be thus constantly violated? ‘The Attorney General defended the Foreige Enlistment @ot and the action of the Cabinet towards the Georgia. Mr, Couren said—I will occapy the attention of the House but for a very few minutes. 1 wish to say a word ‘@r two in reference to what has fallen from the Attorney Geveral. Two questions have been brought unde, our no- tice by the statement of the honorable gentleman who in- ‘troduced this subject. The suggestions which he makes are (at we should alter our laws, or that we should, in the exercise of the powers which it is couceded we possess, prevent vessels of the description reverred to from entering Our ports, With respect to altering our laws, the Attorney General has entered into a long argument to show that the law as it stands is eflective for the purpose of pre- ‘Veuting a breach of our neutrality: but I oannot imagine & more crue! joke than the honorable and learned gentle- Maan’s speech must appear when it comes to be read at ‘Washington.

Well, but if they be violat- jog eur neutrality and disregarding the Queeo's proclamation, it must have been because they built these veasels for some belligerent to be employed against some power with which we are at peace. The nonorable and-learned gentiemen assumes that these individuals are guilty of these acts. He knows they have been guilty of these acts; he knows that these vessels in particular, and the Alabama more especially, have been built for the Confederate government, and employed solely for that govornmect, and yet he doubts the expediency of stopping them from entering eur, ports. I hold that you have the right to say tl thing in regard to these cruisers. But what course of the government im the case of the Alabama? They told Sir. Adams, nizod in the case of that veasel that you bad aright to stop her when sho reached your jurisdiction. T say, therefore, in the same way, ‘prevent their entering your harbors until they give an account of themselves, to show how they became possessed of that vessel.” This has a most important bearing, and one so apparent that it must be plain to the apprehensions of every honor able gentleman who hears it. If the people oF be United States are to be told that not only do individuals here fit out cruisers to destroy their com- merce, but that our government will allow these cruisers themselves to enter our harbors, and there to be equip- ped—civilly equipped I mean—nnd victualled, see in what @ predicament you place yourselves towards that country, in ease you are ever again engaged in war. (Hear). Recol- lect her geographtcad position. She has one seacoast in the Allantic and qnotner in the Pacific, and her Pacific coast is within about a fortnicht's steaming of your China trad», Let avy man take and read the shipping list at Shanghae, it almost like reading the Liverpool shipping list Supposg then, you were at war with any other Power, and you had laid down this doctrine for other countries to imitate. Why, let the American government be ag true and as loval to its priveipies as it bas been, can you doubt, if American nature is humafi nature—if American Bature is English nature—that out of their mumerous and almost inaccessible creeks and corners there will not be per- sons to send forth there fleet steamers to prey on your com merce? Why, many Americans will think it an act of absolut: patrictism to do this. They will say, “We bave ‘ost our mercantile marine through your doing this, and by doing the same towards yon we shall recover it again, and you will be placed in the same position as we were. You will have a high rate of insurance; you will be obitged to sell you ships: you had the profit before, pow we shall bave it, for the game is one that two can play at? But only look at the disadvantage you will ex. perience under those circumstances. We understoo! the importace of this at the commencement of the Crimean war. In April, 1854, when war was declarcd with Rossin, the British and French goveroments nent a jomt note to the Anterican government, in which we asked them, an an act of friendly reciprocity towaras us, to give orders tbat no privateers bearing the Russian flag should be allowed to be fitted out.or victualied, or equipped in American ports. (Hear, hear.) Reco'- collect that the words “equipped” and ‘victuailed” were contained in the request which we addressed to the American government. (Hear, hear.) And this leads me to make a remark with reference to a most im- rtapt point. J mean as to the distinction drawn by the jonorable and learned gentleman between a government ship of war carrying acommission and a privateer. Thal wa ‘tom of the utmost importance to us. ave been in a fool's paradise for the last seven or eicht years We have believed that the Conference of Paris achieved a'great work in the interest of civilization—tl itabolished priva. leering. Now we find that that was no‘hing but a stupendnis hoax, (‘‘Hear,’” and a laugh.) For what is the Portia? What ts the Alalrma? What is the Georgia? Wh», they are mot privateers a’ all. I remember that the honorab! member for ‘erpoo! who fits opposite—I wish to distinguish -him from his col- league—I remember that he made a specch lately at Liverprol, in which he said that if the Americans had only joined in the declaration of Paris against privateer- ing they would not have been placed in their present pre dicament, and the hononorable gentleman led bis hearers— the shipowners of that port—to believe that {f we got into & war we could not be retaliated upon in the same way as the Americans wore, because we were under that safo- aard which bad for ever abolished privateering. (Hear.) ‘ell, let us take the case of the Florida as an example. and Jook at her history fora moment. She was off the const of Ireland, and went across to Brest. On her way thither she burnt an American merchant sip, and therefore went into Brest red-handed. At Brest she claimed to be allowed to civilly equip and victual. The Opinion Nationale immediately put forth a leading arti- ele, denouncing the Florida as being what the French calla corsaire, and what we term a privateer. ‘hero- fore, tbe commander of the Florida wrote a letter to the Paris pewspapers, declaring that M. le Redacteur was under o great deiusion in supposing that his sbip was a privateer, and stating that she bore ‘& regular commission of the Confederate government, and ‘that be and all bis officers were regularly commis sioned officers: that, in fact. the Florida was a regular ship-of-war. On the publication of that letter, Mr. Dayton, the American Minister*at Paris, took the affair in band, and in the despatebes on our table between Mr Seward and bis representatives abroad we have the whole correspondence that took place between Mr. Day- ton and the Frenoh gevernment. Mr. Dayton called the attention of M. Drouyn de Lbuys to the circular address- ed to the American government in 1854, at the breaking out of the Crimean war, and told bim in effect, “You and England jointly requested us not to allow any privateer to equip or victual io our ports, but here is a vessel that is cither a privateer or nothing; she makes no war on arm- ed he goes about burningand destroying merchant ‘vessels, and she does not profess to do anything else, be- cause she ts neither armed nor manned in a way to act as a regular ship of war.” M. Drouyn de Lauys and the English government appear both te haw come to the same conclusion that the Florida, as well as the Alabama and the Georgia, us a lar ship-of war; but dir. on, 1m communicating with his own govern- ment, fairly sti Declaration of Paris as “mere moonshine,’ and Mr, Seward in his repiy en dorsed his languags (Hear) 1 mention this to show that {t will not save us, in case we are engaged in war, from having reprisals practised upon us that we have joined in the Deciaration of Paris, and Iam giad that upoa this poiat the honorable member for Liverpool has not succeeded in misleading bis constituents, because they appear to take avery sound and far-secing view of the question. (Hear, hear.) Iam only sorry, indesd, that two years ago our shipowners did not rise Bn marie and eompel the government of this ssatufacturing and mercantile country #0 put onz igws aod regulations io harmony with tie prasént state of our interests and relation§ ; for Ib ld we are not here to stand up like lawyers and quote pedantically from the reports of 1810 and 1812 We are living in a progressive age and in @ most progressive country, and let me tell tl government that we have now five t! ag much at stal as we had at the beginning of the century. Our expo and imports are fivefold what they were at the ti when those authorities spoxe whom the Attorney Gene- ral has cited, and I maintain that it is inthe power of any country, but especially in the power of great conn- tries. to lay down maxims and establish precedents which themselves become international law. (Hear.) We have, unhappily, toe @ precious apportunity of putting ourseloes in a belter pontion for the future, if ever we tniend to 90 to war arin, Nor ig it merely in time of war that we shall feel the effects of the existing state of things. Do you suppose that foreign governments do not observe what te going op, and do not fully appre. cate our altered circumstaaces? 1 might apply observation to otber matters, and ask why we sc our forces allover the world and thon think we are os safe and power‘ul at bome as if wo had those forces vnder our wing. But, confining myself to the question of belligerent rights, 1 that foreign govern ments will take inte account the wer we must ip war, and ill 4 io it motive for Temaining at peace. ir Look at what happed last autumn, We held ow’ what was supposed to be a threat, that, in coniunetion with France, we shontd go to war wih Russia om the subject of Polina What did Russia do?

The want of pro'es- sional training 1s just as sure to make military charlatans as to make legal or medical chariatans, Jt is astonishing how slow our government and people have been to recognize so simple a tru’n. Provably the government has not felt at liberty to govern iiseif by purcly miliary considerations—has felt that, to avoid ul feeling and discord, some heed must be paid to polix fical favorites,and to the favorites of our adopted citizens. This, perhaps, was needful in tho early part of the war. But the time for it has jong since passed, The great body of the loyal people, taught by experience, now care for nothing but military succeas, and are convinced that this success is attainable only through professional science, They will, at all times hereafter, accept without a mur mur any military changes that the good of the cause may demand, as they have just accepted the supersedure of General Banks by General Canby, and of Gen by General Honter, All personal or party pre‘ are swallowed up in the desire that the war should be conducted with the utmost efficiency. cannot better commend itself than by changing unfit for fit commanders, without exception and-without hesita- tion, : s Corone Ynquests.

Jones, from Aspinwall om the: 1ith inst., we have late news from the Pacific, which wil} be found detailed in the letter of our Panams corres- pondent, The British West India mail steamer bed arrived at: Aspinwall from Nicaragoa, with dates to the 16th. The bar at Greytown has about four feet of water, but is: too narrow except for boats, Among the passengers by the British steamer was Mr. Bainbridge, commissioner of tho old Niciragua Transit Company. A contract had been entered into between the govern- ment of Nicaragua and Commanders Bedford, Clapperton, Kevelya and Pum, Royal Navy, for the building of an in- terocennic railroad, from Moukey Point, on the Atlantic, to Corinto, Gulf of Fonseca. on the Pacific, passing along the northern side of Lake Nicaragua, crossing the Tipi- tapa, along Lake Nicaragua, to Leone. ‘The concession is for fifty years, and large tracts of land are granted also, with certain privileges, The following is the specie list of the Ohampion:— H.

Rathbun, that I spoke of as being overdue im my last, arrived at her anchorage in this harbor on the even- ing of the 8th inst., having been detained by bad woather ‘on the coast, which prevented her cargo being landed, The Salvador brings the following cargo for New ~ York:—Ove thousand and two bides, six hundred and’ eighty-six bags of coffee, seventy bales of cotton twenty-four bales of deerskins and two bales of india rubber. The news by this arrival is exceedingly meagre, and possesses scarcely any interest to those outside the limits: of the Central American States, The new constitution, as agréed upon by the late Congress of Salvador, is published ip tbe official journal, and algo a decree of the govern- ment yaising the duty on spirituous liquors six reals per case of twelve bottles. The latter is for the purpose of raising a fund to establish and maintain an adequate po- lice force, Smallpox is prevailing to a great degree in Salvador, and, as was the case here, is very fatal among the poorer clacses, A session of the Congress of Costa Rica was cailed for ‘the Ist inst. The steamship Salvador was the means of preventing the going ashore and probable total wreck of the English bark Annie Powell, on the 2d of April.

By the Annie, from Buenaventura, we have later ad- vices from the interior than those received by the last steamer from Carthagena. We learn that the govern- ment of Colombia had recoguized the existing govern- ment of what bas heretofore been considered the rebel- ous State of Antioquia, This is a triumph for the conser. vative party, and prevents another cruel and bloody war, which would have been the result bad Mosquera been evabied to carry out his views regarding that State, and attempted to have coerced it into submissien to bis rate. From Cauca we learn that Mosquera is soon expected there, and, it is said, for the purpose of carry- ing to completion a road from Call to wenturs, for toousand dollars which an appropriation of eight hundred bas been made. This new live, when completed, epeos a rich and fertile country, and will be the means of bring- ing to market much produce, and thereby add to the Tevenues of the country. PANAMA.

General Herran, who arrived by the last steamer from the south, and whom the authorities were looking for most anxiously, in the of letly om board Mince Taylor sailed for San Francisco, when he, it is said, took his departure in her. Mind you, it is only said took his departore in this vessel. He may have succesdeg in crossing the isthmus, if he desired to go that the above report may have beeu circulated as It will be remembered that General Herran was at time President of New Granada, and also Minister from ‘that republic to Washington. The last pun perpetrated here is, that, the soldiers boing aft bim, be ran (Herran). You may imagine that everything must be very dull hereabouts when avything like that is gotten off. The opposition steamer Moses Taylor, with over nine hundred passen; , left this port for San Francisco on the 11th inst. 8@ passengers arrived at Aspinwall m the Illinois on the 3d inat.; consequently were detained eight days on board ship at Aspinwall and here. ihe ‘Taylor was crowded to suffocation, and some of her pas- sengers remained here rather than tn a ship so fall to overflowing.
