What 1s the Government Going to Do About Those Consequential Damages? Lord Derby’s Questions and Harl Granville’s Reply. All the Loudon dailies of the 234 of March dis- cussed the debate in the House of Lords the night previous on the Waghington Treaty. ‘I'he following extracts Will enable the readers of the HERALD to form some idea of the temper in which the debates in Parilarent and the discussions in the pross are considered, Tae London Times conciudes a leader on the de- Date as [0110Ws = Lord Derby's special question yesterday referred to the sendin in of the counter cage.

As to tho special subject ol Lord Derby’s tuquiry, we can have uo hesitation in Saying that no iil consequences need ensue froin the Soudiug 10 Of the counter case If proper precautious be taken, Care must bo taken to motiiy to the Board of Arbitrators, as as to ube Untied Staics, iat we submit our counter case without prejudice to the objections we have urged vo paris of the American case. We must tell the eroitracors that, with the greatest re- spect for them aud coniuence in their juugment, supposing tae diuileuicy lay within their jurisaic- Lon, We Cannot atiow thal i 1s any part’ of their duty to interpret tne nis Of we relecence made to them, whic can be seitled only by the agree. meat oi the two Powers, Wie United Kingdom and the United States; and if such an agreement is not arrived at velore the nextstage of the proceedings— thats 0 say, Withia the two months ai the end of argumiets of the vivo sides are to be de. livered—it wil become our paiiul duty to with draw allogethes trom iurther resort to Lhe arbitra. We cau do no less than this if we would ca.

Were the subject less grave we might sue at the simplicity of men who can beheve that their arguments will persuade the American goverament to acknowledge Wat the Bugis interpretation of the treaty 1s 13 only true interpretation, and as BucL was accepted by the American Comin the American government and tue Anierica: a When i) was drawn up, approved aud ratitied by them respectively. It our ministry do not hope to convert President nt to the convicuon that he and Mr, Fist and the Senate thought last year that consequenual claims Were inadmissible wnder Lie weaty, they canuou hope to get that abandonment Of the clatins mado in ihe American case without Which tiie aroitration must lapse. ‘The reformation O1 the case, OF an agrecmient co wii quential claims at the time of a } amount to an admission in tie face of the peopie that they ought never to have boen inciuded. We wil count nothing impossible fa the future, dut, realizing te extent of Luis euterprise, we awalt with equanuaity any result, The daily News treats the subject tn a different spirit, and complatus of the petulance exmbiioa by the oppostilon, The article concludes thus:— The debate came to an abrupt close last nighe There Was Dot much tobe sald when once Lord Granville had anuounced, in answering the ques. tion ot Lord Derby, how fur the goverument was prepared to go. ‘ho county will not, we think, ve disposed to iad fadlt With that auswer, We know the general Intention of tie government; we know {nat the consequential damages Will uot be adiwitted into the pleadings; bul we aiso Know that our Ministers are deiermined to matntain the treaty if they cau, This intiniation will be we'come co the country. It may seema line and spirited thiag 10 @ noble lord to deciare that he does not care how soon the treaty falls tw ihe ground, who country docs not view the matter in that gut. Whatever mistake may have been made on this side the ocean or tiat, there is one thing about which no misiake can exist. In both couatries the ‘Treaty of Washington was received with acclama- tion as the arac ctical tlustrauion in history of the principle which would seitie interaatiunal ‘dis. utes by peaceful arbitration and not by the sword, tis nota hight thing tuat such an attempt should fat. Tne failure would, on the contrary, be a heavy calamity to the world. We are glad ww find that our government is devermined (o do its best that the failure, Uf itis to come, shall come by no fault of ours. We are glad to find tuat there is still so much hope of success, Nothing could be gt once more amt ates | and more undignified than that we should take the advice so ltvorally tendered last night, and petuiantly tear up our part of the treaty, rather than condesceud to argue as to its Interpretation. The country wili be glad to hear thatthe government has no such mteation, We do not want to press the Oabinet for a tull Account of all the details of their reply. Even Lord Derby did not seem much inciimed to urge tho matter last nignt, it {sin good hands, and for the present we can do nothing better than leave it there, ‘he debate, or, rather, the conversation, In the Honso of Lords last might was, however, not withou? its value, Jt showed the strong hope and the resolute good spirit of the government, and will, we thing, give new encouragement to the country. The London Morning Post complains of the silence in which the negotiations between the gov- ernment and tho United States are being conducted, Earl Grauville ts as reticent as ever, and, though but a few days now remain before the assembling of the Geneva Conference, no idea outside of the government can be formed of the course to be pur- sued, The consequential damages are sill harped upon, and the Post refers to the matter In this way ana draws (the following conciusions:— It might at first sight appear unimportant that a claim ior consequential damage ‘should he pre- ferred, if atthe same time an understanding ex- isted that no compensation should be awarded for such loas. It nas been sugested more than once that the dificuity which has arisen {n respect to the treaty is putely shadowy, and, tnasmuch as the [thecal ot the United States never expected to recouped for the remote damage alleged in their case 10 have Howed from the operations of tne Con- federate cruisers, and as we never Intended that Our Nauility ior such damage should be put tn issue, No serious obsiacie should exist to the re-establish- ment of perfect harmony between tne two xovern- ments, If the one side does not want that whicn the other side ia resolved not to give, why, itis asked, hould tiere be any serious contention about mea ingless words? What can it matter that the govern: ment of the United States insist that they are not debarred by w weaty from asking tho Tribunal to award them compensation for conse- quontial damage, if at the same time they asaure us | that they will not pross their demands, and will ractically forego the satisfaction which they seex ? We must repiy that 1t matters a greatdeal, The question is one of Bec gad a principle the im. ortance of Which cannot be exaggerated. Tne ‘reaty of Washiogton, it must bo borne in mind, is ot merely a private compact between two States for the arrangement of dillereaces which have arisen between them. Jt has a much wider signine cance. it establishes a novel tribunal tor tho settles ment of internatioual disputes, and it tntrodact new principles of international 1aw. In consenting to abide by tne decision of a court of arbitrators Great Britain and the United States sot an examplo which they Lope will be foliowed in future by States between Witch differences may wolappily arise, and easly pledge themselves to cadeavor to peenre the Me nesion of other Bates to the modifications ‘Of inzernational law to which, by tl ‘oaty of Washington, they have assented, mechanism than anything éise,” This reputation ‘Was woll suetained av Piva ng Landing, Where tt Teaped now laurels, and where again a partol the batiery Was captured, but wfterwards repose eossec, Aud Where Colonel Schwartz waa wounded, Aiier (a0 War he returned to Springiield, Lil, tole fran hig profession ag aronitict, where many fine hulldiags wore orected wader ‘his dirgauion, n 1800 ho camo to Staten ad, where ne boon called from itl, it ts thorefore parent that if the question of Great Britain’s i fi wed to go to whe Chogued with conditions depr.ving 1t of péount i importance, a precedent would De created wiio it 18 not too much to say Would put fn Jeopardy the xistence of overy second-rate State in the world, in future ware Ala! eras MAY o808 from noatral ris and demands 46 propos fs those D ominally made upon Great Briain may }e sorio SHEET. preferrod against States powerless equally to com. py, with or to resist them. ‘The precedent created yy Great Britain would then bo triumphauily re- ferred to, and a State like Holland or Belgium would be asked how sho could reftise to leave to & board of arbitrators an issue similar vo that which Great Britain nad permitted to be raised under situilar clrcumstances, In Justice, therefore, not only to ourselves but to other States not so well able to resist aggression, Wwe must absolutely aud une- quivocally decitne to entertain in auy form, or under aby conditions, claims for consequential damage. The London Telegraph takes up the subject and considers the course pursued by Lora Deroy last night tn this ugat:— Lord Derby awelt with some force on the peculiar position of Ministers under the British coustituion compared with that hela under the American con- sutudon; actiug ia the ove case Without any ch: on their power to couduct negotiations and arran treaties, WuLe in the other iney were under We coatroiol tie Senvic, No doubt the wlmate re- sponsibility of our i:xecutive ts greater tian that Of the American, but, even af the tact was vol one of those constiutioual anomalies waich, on the Whole, rather make us proud of our own system because tings go so well in spite of the we do not see Uiat Lord Derby's vompi gon telis 1a his favor.
