J. Nagle, and if the demands are not complied with to order the arrest and detention in custody of any subjects of Great Britain who may be found within the juris- diction of the United States, and to withdraw ail inter- couree of the United states with Great Britain. ‘The SrEaKeR asked whether there was auy objection to the resolution being offered. Mr. Bincuam, irep.) of Ohio, said he should object uniess the gentleman from New York changed te language of the resolution in some respects 1a the first place, the resolution authorized the detention of any British subject—a direct violation of the jaw of nations, 1he gentieman should know that the persons of ambassadors were by the universal judgment of mau- kind under the protection of the jaw, and that no national exigencies would justify the violation of the protection of their persons. ‘The SrkakeR said he understood that as an objection to the resolution, althougn it was at somo length. (Laughter. ) Mr, Bixcuam said he would object unless the regolution were moditied. Mr. Rosixsoy professed himseif ready to modify it in any way to suit the sentiment of the House, which be knew to besound He was not particular about the language. - He was willing to exclude ministers, consuls, ambassadors, &c, He subsequently permitted Mr. Pruyn to modify {t by striking out the clause authorizing re- prisals and substituting for it a direction to the Presi- dent to report the facta to Congress without delay, Mr. Bangs, (rep.) of Mass,, remarked that there was no official information on which the resolution could be siesinren or justified. He was informed by the State opartment that the papers in these cases were volumi- nous, aud that they would be prepared for the use of the Houge with the utmost expedition. He thought it best for all interested that no action should be taken till the papers were received, Mr. Rowison said that the reason be asked for this action was that something should be done for those who, without any crime, were lingeying aud rotting in Brit- ish dungeons, He wanted to have the British lion taught that the time was when+it could trample upon American citizens. wanted to have the Presi- dent, the Secretary of State and the American people roused from their lethargy on that subject. ihe mem- bers of the Houso would be unworthy of being Ameri- can citizens if they slept one night while their flag was being lowered, aud while the bird which should soar pot an the gutter beveath the ignobie foot that trampled on it, ‘Alter some further discussion, objection being made to the offering of the resolution, Mr. Ropivsoy moved to suspend the rulee to allow him to offer it, Tie rules were jaspended—yens 96, nays 30, aud the resolution was in- troduced, Mr. Bivcnam said that this was a quesiion which touched the peace of nations, and that it should be r Jerred to the (ommittee on Foreign Affairs, with jeave to report at any time. It struck bim that tnd resolution on its face put the issues 0: peace and war in the hanis of the President, The House of Representatives could net trausier that power to any one. It was written in tbe resolution that the President should demand upcon- ditionally the immediate release of certain persons, Now, every one kuows that it was the right of every Sovereignty to hold every man of whatever nation or allegiance to answer before !ts tribunals of justice tor the violation of its own laws within its own jurisdiction. He was willing to cate the sovereiguty of the American people, but he was not willing that the Pros dent should be invested with the general power of de- manding the immediate and unconditional release of American citizens charged with crime, There was no ber, not even the member who introduced Tesolution, his as a representat! in the resolution were not committed within the jurisdiction of Engiand.

Were Ley gong to set up a miserable precedent that a subject of England, or of France, or of any other Power, could commit crime with impunity within the jurisdiction of the United States? For himself he claimed that whoever, from any quarter of the world, violated an American law within its jurisdiction should be held to answer for it betore American tribunals of justice; and what be claimed for the United States he conceded to al! other nations. Mr. Ronixson sald, in reply to one of Mr. Bingbam’s remarks, that some of the persons referred to in his reso- lution were held for words spoken and acts done in toe United Staves, and referred to the statement of Baron Fitzgerald on trial of Stephen J. Meany that it was 80, and that there wore enough men there (meautng Ire- d) to delay until eternity’s bell rung the vindication of the rights of American citizens. Mr. Bixecnam reminded Mr. Robinson that without ‘an authenticated copy of the record the Houee could not kuow what ‘he Judge said on that trial, Mr, Rowiwson beld that the statement having ap- peared in the Dubtin /rishman, and never baving been contradicted, was to be taken as true, and he asked how Jong were American citizens—over a hundred in number and equal in fasaigence to the mon surrounding bim— tw be kept within the grasp of the British lion ? After an animated discussion in tho samo strain by Messrs, Robinson, Bingham, Higby, Eldridge and Banks—the iatter taking the ground that the passage of the resolution would be the evasion by the House of its own duties, ana shifting the responsibility on the President—Mr. Robinson moved the previous question, The House refused to second the previous question, and on motion of Mr. Banks the resolution was referred to the Committee on Foreign Attairs by a vote of yeas 40, nays 37; and then at five o'clock the House adjonrned, THE PRIZE RING.
