Spain has by far the more powerful fleet, but she is operating {rom ‘an enormous distance, The cost of the Pacific squadron ‘will be ruinous to her bankrupt exchequer, and its com- manders will bo put toextrome straits for supplies ; coals, ‘water, and provisions of all kinds will be virtually out of ‘their reach, while the difficulties of the case will be in- creased by the impossibility of striking any decisive blow. The coast of Peru has been added to the coast of Chile, aud the forces of Spain, @onsiderable as they are, must obviously be ‘enequal to the blockade of sucha seaboard.

Another proposal made by Mr, Gla’istone was that a monument to Lord Palmerston should be erected in minster Abbey at the expense of the nation.

Her Majesty’s government were pre- pared to assent to that proposal, on condition that the vessels ‘so released should be employed exclusively,in suppressing the slave trade; but the United States gov- ernment declined to accede to that condition, and, her Majesty’s government being unable to waive it, no ar- rangement was come to.

The relations of the Fenians tothe United States government had been made the subject of an im- portant debate in the British Parliament on February 23, a full report of which we subjoin. AMERICAN NEUTRALITY. The Relations of the United States Gov- ernment to the Fenians—Fenianism Discovered to be the Legitimate Fraits of “British Neatrality,” &e. MR. WATKIN’S QUESTION. Mr. Warkry, in rising to put questions to the govern- ment in connection with this subject, said it had been hinted that it was undesirable that he should do so, in. asmuch as some observations might be made calculated to prodoce a feeling of irritation in the United States, He, however, was the last man in that House who would say anything to excite such a fooling, for he had often visited that country, and had, he was happy to say, among American citizens many friends; nor did he think anything could be gained for the’ cause of truth or fight by the concealment of the opinions entertained by the people of the one na- tion with respect to the conduct of the other. Having been recently in the United States, he was ina position to assure the House that the Fenian organization was not rymprthized with by native Amervvans at all; it was not sympathized with by native American officers in the federal army; and that hard’y any such thing as Fnianism eristed whervver the Brith , * waved inthe Norh American colmie, (Hear, hear.) While the Fenian Congress was in Philadelphia, there was an inter- view between a deputation from that body and no less a person than the President of the United States. This depu- tation stated to the President that they were sent to the President by the society which had met in Philadelphia; that the organization had its ramifications in no tess than thirty States and Territories, and that they came to thank the Py lent for releasing the notorious Ir shman, Jobn Mitchel. With regard to the Congress at Philadel- ph a he m‘ght mention that one peculiar featare war the presence of a large number of officers in the employment and pay of the government of the United States. He had got in bis hand a list of a beng? 11 committee, and itcontained the names of no fess than ten volunteer officers belonging tothe United States. Three of these were generals, five were colonels, one was a captain, and the last one was a lieutenant, Mr. Rorwccx—What countrymen are they? Mr, Watkin said that they were Irish Americana. (Hear, hear.) During the public discussions in America Many things were said which completely disclosed the objects ot the Fenian organization. He had the report of amecting of agreat many delegates to tho Fenian Congress, and without troubling the House with the ches, he might mention that tbe general result was Jat the sprakers avowed that they met to complete the organization, the object of which was to liberate Ire- land from the government of her Majosty, and do so, if need be, by force of arms in afew months. Mr. Justice triale in I de. terms, seribed tl ization in the foliowii That jearned Judge said :— That its ramifications existed not only in this country, but tn the States of America, that supplies of money and of arms for the purposes of 9 insurrection were bel - ed not only here, but on the other side of the Atlantic; and, finally, that the this confederation overthrow of the the separation of this country from @ destruction of our it ‘of a successf: ‘Tt was 8 ated with respect to the Femans an author. ity known to many members of that pen Bed There in a Secretary of: War, night, endeavoring to % retary of the Navy, will sell them any of the vessels for which the government has no further use, Whether they succeeded in seeing Mr. Welles or not I cannot say; but it ts yell known that they bave had interviews with Mr. Stanton, These facts taken together, and many other circumstances which it would be tedious to repeat but which are well Known bere, prove at least that the Fenian organization is now a power, and one which eannot be scattered by the ar- rest of a few of ite members in Ireland. That was the statement of the correspondent of the Times. He would now say a few words with regard to the extent of the Fenian organizaiton and the means by which it was maintained. He found by certarm docu. ments that the organization had raised within the last seven years $5,000,000, and that from September the 10th to Ovtober the 20th, 1865, their receipts amounted to $120,650 22. On October 284 there were im the Uni'ed States 613 circles, with an average membership of 800 persons each, or about 184,000 inall. He would now endeavor to ‘show how the money was expended, becanae, with respect to Fenian development in Ireland, it had been said that the discontent of the Irish people ‘proceeded from theit grievances, He, however, meant to say that the Trish People were being preyed upon—(hear, hear)—and as long the government neglected to deal with this question at its source, and were content simply to prosecute a few tnisguided men in Treland, their efforts to stop the movement would fail, The first item in the expenditure was $62,567 for envoys, from Uctober 31, 1865, to January 9, 1866, and that meant that £40,000 a year were expended to stir up sedi tion and disaffection in different parts of her Majesty's domimions, He was happy to say that this attempt had almost failed in Canada, though he regretted it had too much succeeded in Ireland, and when among any people poor and ignorant the sum of forty thousand pounds a ear ae : everthrow of Got's religion; forall {hs is inscribed on the banners. (Hear, hear. ' He now came to the questi ‘Whether these wowedly the object of of {hear fear) from tho sorvice of the United e coul elp saying that many state- ments which had been made ta. thie regaring the President ware premature and misapplied, and that, living desirous Preserve a peaceful wintry, without which, as he himself had Anglo-Sazon civilization eorild'not go on. (Hear, hear.} ‘They all knew that the difficulty ‘hetwoen Chile and Spain had led to an American expedition against Spain, and Captain McKenna, a Chilean resident tn’ New York, had no doubt attempted to purchase and arm ves- sels to make war on Spain; and what came out in the Fenian trials in Ireland? This expedition was being kept up in the United States and elsewhere for making war om England. Dealing with those who wished to make war ‘on Spain, what did the American President do? Why, he arrested McKenna and held him in close confinement, An indictment was found against him under the sixth, fei of the Neutrality act of 1818, which provides that Ifany person shall, within the territory or jurisdiction of the United States, begin or set on foot. “or provide or pre- re, the means for any military expedition or enterprise, to be carried on from thence against the ‘or dominion of any foreign prince or State, or of any colony, district or - people, with whom the United States are at peace. every per- son 80 offending shall be deemed guilty of a high misde~ meanor, and shall be fined not exceeding three thousand dollars, or imprisoned not more than three . The ins dictment by the Grand Jury was procured atthe instance of United States District Attorney Dickinson, on intimation re- ceived from the Secretary of State, who was, of course, directed in the matter by the President. (Hear, hear.) He wouid also, fora moment, venture to turn to an American authority, for he thought it much better ta quote American authorit'es than either French or Eng- lish on this point of inter law. He would read a short extract from Wheaton’s ‘Law, page By their treaties with severalof the belligerent Powers— treaties forming part of the law of the land—they had estab- lished a state peace with them. But without prpseing to treaties they were at peace with all of them by the law of nu. ture; for, by the natural law, man is at peace some aggression is committed, which by the same law autho- rizes one to destroy another, as his enemy. For the citizens of the United States, then, to commit mu d depreda~ tions on the members of other nations, orto combine to do it, spore to the American government as much against the laws of the land as to murder or rob, or combine to murder or rob, thelr own citizens; and as much to require punishment, if done within the limits, where they had a ter- ritorial jurisdiction—or on the high seas, where they had = personal jurisdiction, that {a to say, one which reached thelr, own citizens only: this eine an appropriate part of each nation, on an element where has @ common juris ton. Then he we nt on to say:— The same ciples were afterwards incorporated in a la\ of coereee a in 1794, aod ‘revised and re-enacted im 1818, by which it is to be @ misdemeanor for any person within the jurisdiction of the United States to aug- ment the force of any armed veasel ing to one foreign: Power at war with another Power. with whom they are at Peace; or to prepare any m! a Pitories of any foretan nation with whom they are. x! peace; or 1 hire or enliat troops or seamen for foreign military or naval service; or to be concerned in fitting out any vessel to cruise or commit hostilities in foreign service against @ na- tion at peace with them; and the vessel, in this latver case, 4s made subject to forfeiture. If he wanted to add another fact it would be to the speech of a gentleman who was called the Head Cen- tre in New York, in which he stated very distinctly that before very long privateers would be fitted out with the: view of preying on the commerce of England. (Hear, hear.) Taking ull these facts together surely there war enough to convince any man that—to say nothing of the technical obligations—all the high tere arr and good association belween nation and had, in the per- ‘sons of the Fenians, been mos! rignally outraged. hear.) Well, they found that in the case the attempt to make war on tne comparatively weak and unimportant Power of Spain summary, immediate, instant justice had been done; and so with regard to the Emperor of the French, notwithstanding the wanton rovocation given by the presence of a French army in Krexico, contrary to the traditional views and intentions of the fathers of the American iblic, explanation. had been given; how, then, was it that in our case the Lar nad position had not been taken? How was it bat, raised seven years, an organization which five million dollars for the purpose of making war on this country had been allowed to go on without remon- strance or interference on the part of her Majesty’s gov- ernment? (Hear, hear.) He might be told, the —_ honorable gentleman who would follow him, and who he hoped would deal with this question in per- fect frankness, that he was casting undue suspicion om the governmeut, and that they bad used every means . in their power for putting an ond to this state of things, He trusted that would appear to be the case, Atall events the people of America would learn what was the opinion of the House if Commons as to the danger and injustice of their conduct. (Hear, hear.) Let him ‘ay, in conclusion, that in dealing with this question the were not dealing with Bit sh interests but with the inter. ete of the United States themselve. They could now expect to ses turbulent, noisy and menacing elements combining in deflance of the law with impunity, without perilling their own liberties and andermining the founda- tions of their own political power. (Hear.) He trusted they would receive an assurance from the right honora~ ble gentleman which would satis’y the House that the government had done all they could, and he hoped that, su-rounded as thi: matier was in America with cmsiderable d ficulties, we should. sympathis’ with and appreciate the rls f the United Sta’es g vernment, and that beth par- ies would co~perate in maintaining relations which ought (o subsist between the two enuntries, (Hear, hear.) MR. GLADSTONE’S ANSWER. The Cuayce’ Lon or Tar Excurgegn then rose, bat there were lond cries for anew member who rose along with him. The right honorable gentleman, however, de- clined to give way. Ho said:—sir, I feel it to be a mat- ter of public doty, and I think it is one of considerable wblic importance, that I should immediately the onorable gentleman. I should consider that J failed in my duty if I allowed any other member tojnterpose. (fear, hear.) The honorable member asks if any and what’ representations have been her Majesty’s government to the government of the United States in reference to the Fenian organigation in America, and more especially as to the employment of United States officers, the issie of bonds of the so-called Irish Republic, andthe threats made to levy war upon the dominions of her Majesty Me Boe organization. No motion has been made by the jorable gentleman, but I believe I may say there are no papers to this matier that can Md “bem Mr. Warxin explained that not being very well ac- quainted with the forms of the House, he had omitted to conclude with a motion. He trusted he should be permitted to supply the omission. (Hear.) The houor- able member then moved forthe production of the papors mentioned tn his notice. CoaNceLLon of THe Excumquer—There are no member, apparently anticipating that a reason m! asked of bim Tor ralal whieh troduced, stated as his reason for 80 le of the United States were an the honorable jleman, but: ee OTT cam tayeat whet costal jest te dificult to give an answer to the honorable gentleman to iH tone of his remarks, the position {1 which Eng and habitually stands in the face of foreign E t that the proceedings of English citizens are constantly made the subject of complaint abrond—at upon the of a dis- interfere with thove we against those imputation: the freedom of our laws and ‘our hatnts and the extreme inexpediency and imprudence of all attempts on the part of any grvernmen’ of taking ures of repression on oS or in the interes of @ unless measieres of repression facts perferily notorious and are certaim succes.” Iam bound to say I don’t think there was in the speech of the honorable gentle~ man a suffictent allowance for those considerations om behalf of the government of the United States Now, in Icoking at the honorable gentleman's statements I that he made them with the hope that I should be abla to show that all means of repression had been exhausted? by the United States government. (Mr. Watkin ex- resked his dient.) Lam quoting as gearly as posible the words of the honorable member. Mr. Warxty—The Right Honorable getenen has not I hoped : foreign gowern ‘are found d vpn to attended with clearly described what I said. I said that the Right Honorable gentleman and bis colleagues had exbansted every means in their power to il wpm the government of the United States to fulfil the duties of ity. The Cuaxcetzor of the Excargrer—I accept the honor- able member's correction of my staement Does the honorable gentleman really suppose that on bis making these statements from the Ly es pod the first time publicly in this House, without having had acy previous communication with government on the subject, It would be in my power to follow him, to flentify the sources from which he drew his information—N some instances he did not state what those sources were--and to show, upon a careful tag ge Sra ee ie Toited Seat ? Tam ound to say that it eat was apent in the endeavor to seduce them from | United States their al he put it to the House to conclade what | a0e8 appear to mo that, if we are to naintaln the full thes might be the reeult.
