Ireland and the Catholics generally expected much from Mr. Disraeli. It was supposed that the ne Premier would be in a better position than his es cessor to do justice to Ireland.

Both spoke of Ireiand in the most friendly terms; but never did acts present a more striking contrast with words.

E. Forster rose for the purpose of calling the attention of the House to the effect of the law regu- lating the allegiance of subjects of the Queen who have emigrated to foreign countries, and especially to the United States of America, and of asking the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he did not think that the time was opportune for at- tempting to arrive at a mutual understanding between her Majesty's government and the govern- ment of the United States respecting the right of expatriation, He believed that the claims made by this country in connection with this subject had operated greatly to our disadvantage in our inter- course with foreign nations, and the time had now arrived when we might properly inquire whether it would not be for our interest to modify those claims to some extent. In order to bring the subject fully before the House it would be necessary for him to refer briefly to the law upon this question as it stood at present. As far as he could make out there appeared to be two classes of British subjects—those who were 80 by the common law and those who were so by the statute law. By the common law all per- sons born within the dominions of the Queen were British subjects, notwithstanding the fact that their parents might be foreigners who were within those dominions merely on a visit, ‘There were two ways by which persons might become British subjects under the statute law—firstly by being naturalized under certain conditions mentioned in the act of Par- liament, and secondly under the provisions of the act of George If, which enacted that all children of British “subjects who might be born out of her Majesty’s dominions were entitled to the privileges of British subjects. ‘The latter act was supplemented by the act of George ILL, which extended those privileges to the grand- children as well as the children of British subjects born abroad. There was, however, this difference between the natural born subject and the children and grandchild of British subjects born abroad, that allegiance was claimed from tie former alone, It had been stated by & very able writer in the Times, who wrote under the name of “Historicus, ¢ it was a question whether we did not claim alles of aren and grandchildren of British 1 3 'nalihough their purents nad been all th oad; and it was important to look close this point, as it concerned a large number present populati be United Stat opinion as to tent of our claims appeared to be prevalent in Am and a portion of the exe! ment in that coun donbiless' owing to that notion, ‘That, however. was a # opin ito hi As the statutes apy ian compulsory.

He thought (Hear. It was trae that If the Fenians were ated a8 aliens they would have the power under the existing [hw to demand a mixed jury; but the question Immediately arose whether ft was wise to vtinue tn operation a law which had been pass centur, ‘0 to mneet the necessities of a totally dif. ferent state of society from the present; nations were not now separated as in former times, and less cause for fear existed that foreigners in any country would be treated with injustice. This law could at least be dispensed with as far as America was con- cerned; no such law existed in the United States, though, of course, American citizens were justified in applying fora mixed jury in England as long as the law was in operation. It was also true that if Fenians were regarded as aliens they would have the right of claiming the protection of the Minister representing the country from which they had come; but although no Minister would refuse to entertain a demand for protection by any of his country’s sub- Jeets, it was quite open for him to refuse to respond to that demand on tnaking sufficient ni Ail it should aiso be remembered as an element in the cal- culations that all foreign ambassadors did not possess *o remarkable a mixture of prudence and moderation, coupied with @ just estimate of the rights of his own country, a8 distinguished the present United States Miniter. (Hear.) A remarkable distinction was drawn by our law between British subjects and aliens, and that was that a British snbject could be tried in England for treasonable practices committed abroad, and an aien could not; but in both cases acts com- mitted ateoad might be alleged in our courts a8 evi- dence of trtent regarding treason at home, for which either migat be tried. Of course, if Fenians were treated as viens this right would be given up; they could not be ‘ried here for treason committed in the United state antag right, he ¢ should be in United State, But he presumed no government would think d@ prosecuting # man in England for treasonable speeches made in New York. ‘the feeling which would be excited in the States by such & pro- ceeding might eisily be estimated by imagining our own feclings if thy Russian government prosecuted @ a for speeches m London against the conquerora of his country. * * * The honorable gentieman concluded by asking the Secretary of State for Foreign Affaire whether he @d not think the time was oppor- tune for attempting & arrive at a mutual anderstand- Ing between her Majesty's government and the gov- ernment of the United States respecting the right ef expatriation, Lord STANLEY salda—I think the honorable mem. ber for Brasford has done geod service in brining this question forward. (Heag hear) And, reserving my opinion uyon me poists of detail Which it t hardly necessity to discuss, and upon some matters as to Which Ld) not feel that 1 atm cated upon to } Offer an opinion T will at once say that do not see any reason to digent from the geneal tendency of the views expremed by the honorabl’ member, He stated, and state) very truly, that @ tong as the United States’ lawyemains, as prectioliy T believe it is, identical with urs, we lave ® Vet lair reviy In any controversy whtca may arise. But that is no reason why we should not agree to amend anything in the laws of both countries wnich may be unsuited to the purposes of the time for which we live. From the moment when these questions first arose 1 have carefully guarded inyself, when speaking in the name of her Majesty’s government, against even the appearance af a wish to stand i ance of that doctrine af indestructible natural alle- giance which seems to be so entirely unsuited to the case of emigrants, and still more to the descendants of einigrants, Putting aside the extreme theory on the subject, I believe some doubt exists whether the rule can legally be sald to apply to the children of emi- grants; but even a3 bay kad emigrants themselves, it seems to be hardly defensible fn theory, and it is certainly unworkable In practice. It is hardly de- fensible, because in any country where emigration is sanctioned and encoui id where that emi- gr.ition notorious!y takes place to a foreign country, the government, by the sanctton which it gives, must be held to contemplate that those who eml- erate, not to speak of their descendants, do in most cases Intend to sever themselves from the country of their birth, It we attempted to make good the claim witich theoretically exists in the case of all British Subjects who have expatriated themselves, we should be obliged to apply that law to the many thousands who have scattered themselves all over the States of America, over whom, if we wished it, we could exer- cise no control whatever, misunderstanding exists as to the bearing of this question upon the séatus of persons engaged ina conspiracy ~ against the government of this country who may be brought to trial here, A great deal has been sald about men being punished before a British court of justice for acts done in America. I apprehend that is @ case which only arises once in @ hundred times, (Hear, hear.) Then a great deal 13 heard about the claims of persous over whom we seek to exercise no national rights to be tried by ® mixed jury. But it is perfectly clear that the right to be so tried is not a matter of inter- national obilgation; it is only a regulation of onrown municipal law—(hear, hear)—which we should have a right to abolish to-morrow if we thought fit, with- out any foreign government having reason to com- plain, That consideration, therefore, we may put out of the question. The only advantage that { can see which an allen tried for some Fenian offence here would have over a British subject would be the ower of appealing tohis own government for their interference and protection. I apprehend that that would notbe of any practical importance in a civil- ized state of society, thongh it might have becn of some advantage in a ruder state. Ifa person born in England were, on returning from America to this country, tried for a political offence, and if he claimed to be an American citizen and declined to be regarded asa British subject, he would be in soine respects in ® worse position as regards his own case than before any alteration of the law. It was some advantage toa man, however misguided his conduct may have been, to say he was endeavoring to redress the wrongs of his country; but if he sev- ered himself altogether from his native country and settled in another, becoming a citizen of that ‘other country, then his locus standi for interference in the affairs of his native country ts absolutely gone. e is then not a man endeavoring (0 es the grievances of his own country, but he appears tn the character of a foreign revolutionist, fr, hear.)
