We have been favoured with copies of the "further correspondence" on the subject of the Enlistment and the Central American questions. The following despatch on the former subject was written by Mr. Crampton after his arrival in London, and may be rega r d e d as hi s l as t sontribution on the affairs of the United States : "Ma. CRAMPTON TO TIIE EARL OF CLARENDON. " London, June 19, 1856. "My Lord,—ln compliance with your Lordship's desire, I proceed to submit to yon a few cbservations in regard to some of the statements made by the United States' Govern ment, in a despatch dated May 27, addressed to Mr. Dallas, being the reply of that Government to your Lordship's note to Mr. Dallas, of the 30th of April last, upon the subject of alleged recruitments for her Majesty's service in the United States. "This I was unable to do at an earlier period, from the fact that no copy of Mr. Marcy's despatch and its accom panying documents was communicated to me by the United States' Government, with Mr. Marcy's note to me of the 28th ult., by which I was informed that, for reasons that would be explained to her Majesty's Government, the Pre sident of the United States bad come to the determination to discontinue his official intercourse with me as her Ma jesty's representative. I would also remark that Mr. Marcy's note was not de livered to mo in time to enable me to make even the fact of my having receive t it known to your Lordship until my recent arrival in this country. " It -is with unfeigned s disfaction that I observe, from Mr. Marcy's despatch, that the United States' Government now expresses itself satisfied with the assurances contained in your Lordship's despatch to Mr. Dallas, and that the charge of having violated the municipal laws of the United States, as well as the general principles of international law, by recruiting within the territory of th e U n it e d States, is no longar,arged against her MajesEfiradverilixtent us a cause of complaint. "Such being the satisfactory result of Mr. Marcy's last communication, it becomes a matter of secondary import ance to determine in how far the acts and intentions of the individual officers of her Majesty's Government, who are still the objects of the censure of the Government of the United States, may have been misjudged or misrepresented. A tacit admission of the justice of such a censure would, no doubt, conveniently dispose of the whole question as between the two nations, while a continuance of the discussion would tend to prolong or to revive feelings of national irritation, which it is most desirable to avoid. " I am not surprised, therefore, although lam deeply pained to observe, that many persons, even in this country, are disposed to adopt, with more or less of qualification, the unfavourable views put forward by the United States' Go vernment, iu regard to the conduct of her Majesty's Consuls at New York, Philadelphia, and Cincinnati, and of myself, by which the whole of the responsibility for the misunder standing which has unfortunately arisen between the two Go vernments has been thrown upon us, and that this imputa tion, and, in general, without the least reference to the state ments which we have already made in reply to previous im putations of the same nature. " I do not apprehend, however, that it would be a matter of indifference to her Majesty's Government that the hum blest individual in her Majesty's service should suffer injus. tice, come from what quarter it may ; nor do I imagine that, even supposing that some errors of judgment or miscalcula. tion of events should be justly laid to their charge, her Ma- - - jesty's Government, or any considerate or unprejudiced per• . _ son in this country, would be disposed to impute more, though they might not feel justified in imputing less of blame .. . _ Aianthe occasion called for. "It is under this impression that I venture to offer a few remarks to your Lordship, in regard to the personal censure which the United States' Government have now thought it expedient to pass upon her Majesty's Consuls and myself, with reference to the part which we have taken in furthering the wishes of her Majesty's Government, by procuring from the United States the aid of such persons•as; under the pro visions of the Foreign Enlistment Act, were willing and de sirous to serve under the standard of Great Britain in the then existing war against Russia. " The principle which Mr. Marcy persists in applying to the acts of her Majesty's agents, though he has abandoned it as a ground for complaint against her Majesty's Government, is to be found stated in Mr. Marcy's despatch of December 28, and 's to this effect : ' This Government maintains that in every instance where a person, whether a citizen or a foreigner, has been brought to the determination to leave the country for the purpose of entering into a foreign service as a soldier or sailor by any inducements offered by recruiting agents hero, the law of the United States has been violated. " There certainly can be no doubt of the violation of the law of the United States in every case where one party—the recruit—has been induced by the terms offered to him actu ally to leave the United States for the purpose of entering into foreign military service, and the other party has fur nished the means and ,borne the expense of taking him to a foreign depot in the expectation that he would consummate the act by an enlistment.' " Now, my lord, I submit that this principle cannot be re conciled with those maintained by her Majesty's Government, and that if Mr. Marcy is content to waive, if not abandon, his view of the matter, so far as her Majesty's Government is concerned, lie cannot reasonably enforce it against the agents of that Government acting under its instructions. " And yet this is what Mr. Marcy has done ; for ho has reproduced against those agents, without distinction, the evidence by which he sought to convict them of a violation of the municipal law, and that by which he sought to - •vipt them of n' violation of the law of motions ; In his present 4espatch,fallen Into tbe liam(i'method sowing whicli; - ats - r - nave tilreauy ptnutucruuv; former communications, namely, he has designated . :- ently every act of the agents of her Majesty's Government for availing themselves of the services of persons residing in the United States as 'recruiting in the United States,' or as part of a scheme of recruiting in the United States,' thereby begging the whole question under discussion. " In order to sustain the charge against her Majesty's agents of having violated the municipal law Mr. Marcy resorts to a reiteration of his implicit belief in what he calls the unimpeached and unimpeachable testimony of Messrs. Strobel and Hertz, adding, however, that this evidence forms but a small part of that upon which he relics, and that there aro numerous acts of mine and of her Majesty's Consuls, undenied and undeniable,' which confirm it. Mr. Marcy has not stated to what acts he alludes, but if they are acts by which I am supposed to have recruited soldiers for her Majesty's service within the United States, or hired or retained,' in the sense of the Act of Con gre s s oflBlB, sons to go and be recruited elsewhere, or authorised other persons to do those acts, I do deny them. If they are acts by which persons were informed of where and on what terms they would be received into her Majesty's service in British territory, or by which aid and assistance was afforded to them to reach that country, Ido not deny that acts of that sort were authorised by me; but I maintain that such acts were neither illegal nor a violation of the sovereignty of the United States. As to invitations or inducements I never offered them to anybody, although it appears that I might legally have done so ; for I cannot agree with Mr. Marry that the offer of any inducement short of hiring or retaining, and by a contract which would, if not rendered illegal by the act of 1818, be binding, would constitute a violation of the law, and, consequently, of the sovereign rights of the United States. _ " I am far from seeking to deny to the Government of the United States the right of interpreting the laws of the United States; but I cannot subscribe to the doctrine that the Ex ecutive alone has a right to interpret the law. Every act done or authorised by me is supported by decisions of the ju diciary in which the President himself could not refuse to acquie , ve in any case in which, either in his official or pri vate capacity, he might be concerned. " The decisions in question are as follows : " Judge Kane at the trial of Hertz and Perkins at Phila delphia on the 22d of May, 1855, says, Ido not think that the payment of the passage from this country of a man who desires to enlist in a foreign port comes within the act;' and 'in the terms of the printed proclamation there is nothing conflicting with the. laws of the United States.' In the case of the United States v. Wagner, tried before Judge Ingersoll at New York, the judge charged the jury as follows Any resident of the United States has a right to go to Halifax with the intent to enlist.' It will be seen that these decisions are utterly at variance with the broad principle laid down in Mr. Marcy's despatch of Dec, 23, and alluded to above. If these decisions have been reversed, and if others conflicting with them have been pronounced I can only say that I am unacquainted with the fact. " But Mr. Marcy has now produced—whether for the pur pose of sustaining his charge against us of having violated international law or principles laid down by him, but not acquiesced in by her Majesty's Government, or whether to support his charge of a violation of the municipal law, he does not clearly state—a number of affidavits lately made by certain Poles, Germans, and others, relating principally to real or supposed transactions in regard to the conveyance to Halifax of persons who wished to join the British fumy, and also regard to the payment of what was considered a fair in demnity to them for the loss or disappointment which they stated they bad undergone in consequence of having been sud denly prevented from carrying out their intention of joining the British Foreign Legion at Halifax, by an order given by Sir Gaspard le Marchant in August last that no more persons were to be received into the Legion from the United States. " I do not hesitate to avow that I saw no objection to the payment of such an indemnity, and it would, indeed, seem hard that the very measures which wore rendered necessary by a faithful and prompt fulfilment of the engagement of her Majesty's Government to that of the United States, should now be brought forward as a matter of fresh accusation against the agents of her Majesty's Government. "Any person examining these affidavits with candour, dis figured as they are with deliberate falsehoods, as well as blun ders and mistakes of all sorts, and influenced by malicious motives, as I shall presently show, may, nevertheless, easily perceive that there is nothing in them inconsistent with the above statement. " The object of the persons making these depositions is but too apparent, as well as the spirit which has dictated them. They are, at the best, but little worthy of credit, and certainly could not be justly entertained as evidence against the persons whose proceedings and conversations they pro fess to relate, until those persons shall have an opportunity; which has not yet been afforded to them, of speaking for themselves. They arc evidently clumsy attempts to implicate her Ma jesty's Consuls and myself in a violation of the law, made by persons who had no knowledge of its provisions. I have in my possession, and can produce, threatening letters from al most all the deponents, endeavouring to extort money from me on condition of their suppressing their evidence. " With regard to those parts in which I am represented to have personally played a part, I can only say that a more impudent tissue of falsehoods was never put together. I never saw or conversed with any of those men, with the ex ception of Sierawski; and when I saw him, I did not even know his name. He has, however, the effrontery to recount the invented circumstances of an interview he had with me. This Sierawski, it is true, accompanied by another Pole, did force himself into my office; but fortunately for me, on this occasion, I am not, as in.the case of Hertz, left to the un supported account of what took place ; for Mr. Lumley was in the room during the short time the interview lasted. He also says that he saw letters from me to Colonel Smolenski, written, ono from Washington in May, and the other from Boston and Halifax. Now, I did not know of the existence of such a man as Col. Smolenski in May, and I never wrote him, either then, or subsequently, any letter whatever ; nei ther did I see him at Boston. Sierawski's statements on these subjects are deliberate falsehoods. " The statements made by Kazinski, as far as I am con cerned, are equally destitute of foundation. His statement toy, 13* *11411)01, 11=40 (I° T tie-401 that only such persons of those who )ut to.join the Foreign Legion who were in posses: irtant letters from me received considerable sums t None of the persons in question ever received mn me.- The whole tenour of these affidavits is of , nature. " With regard to evidence of . this pot#, • I have already expressed my opinion, - in my despaici_of the 3d of March. Speaking of affidavits produced in many-instances by the very same incliiiduals against the United States' District At torney and the Russian Charg6 d'Affohrej , iit Washington, I used these words : I am perfectly aware that the aceitritly of Such evidence as these affidavits afford might be objected to as loose in itself, and proceeding from unknown Polish, Hungarian, and Ger man refugees ; and I have no hesitation in saying that if Mr. District Attorney Mr. Keon, on the One hand, and M. de Stoekl on the other, were to give me their brave words that the facts therein stated were unfounded, I should at once be lieve them.' " Mr Marcy, hovkver, seems to think that, however loose and unsatisfactory suc h evidence. is -when produced against the officers of the 'U . nited States, it becomes impeached and unimpeachable' evidenesi when 'produced against those of Great Britain. " This brings me, to •the evidence of Hertz and Strobel, which Mr. Marcy still considers to be satisfactory, in spite of our positive denial of their statemehts,nadnOtwithstandinir the badness of their character: • - ' • " With regard to Hertz I have only taidd that he ha 4 been three times arrested ht. Philadelphiattoting the course of last month, on fresh criminal charges—viz., of obtaining money under-false pretences, of robbery, and of forgery. "Mr. Mathew will furnish your Lordship-,with doesmen.; Lary evidence .of these facts. 1. " With respect to Strobel—as Mr. Marcy seems to attach importance to what he terms my endorieniiitir of that indi; vidual, I may perhaps be permitted to refer-44n to an autho rity upon which he will probably ire reliance than upon my opinion —I mean theta '`!* •mont, of the. United States' army, the distinguieVed tra • Mar who explored the Rocky Mountains, It was upon ascertaining that Strobel had stated truly that he had accompanied Colonel Fromont in the capacity of civil engineerand draughtsman upon a very celebrated expedition undertaken by that officer, that I con sidered that that circumstance in itself was some sort of gua-' rantee as to Strohel's respectability; and, in the absence of Colonel Fremont, I could procure no other. It was not until my return to Washington that I learnt from authority which I cannot doubt that. Strobel had committed an actßYswind ling againgt Colonel Fremont. " Upon what principle Mr. Marcy contends that I have no right to discredit the testimony of a person who has proved himself unworthy of credit by acts of treachery, baseness, and- perjury, avowed by himself to be shameful, and only resorted to for lucre, beCause I once believed in his integrity, I am unable to conceive. " With respect to the correctness of my impression of the conversation which I held with Mr. Marcy on the 22d of March, I have to refer your lordship to my account of it written to your Lordship in a letter dated the 213th of that month. I speak of it as follows : _ " I took good care to explain to Mr. Marcy, with perfect frankness, our position and intentions as re g ards this mat ter. I said, besides reading to him my letter to Mr. Bar clay, that we were eertainly.anxiouts to obtain efficient re cruits, from whatever quarter they should come, and that depots for enlistment tad been established in ie colonies, where those who should voluntarily present themselves would be received and .enrolled ; but to inquiries which had been addressed to me by persons in this country I had invariably replied by referring them to the provisions of the Act of Con gress of 1818, and st sing tl.at neither I nor any of the agents of her Majesty's Governmenteould either enlist' them in the United States, or ' hire and retain' them to go to any part of the British dominions, with the intent of their enlisting ; that, consequently, all I could do was to give to such persons the information of which I was in pAsession, as to terms, and the time and place At which they might, if so disposed, be re ceived into the British service, being aware of no law which prevented citizens of the U uited States or others from emigra tion from this country, for whatever purpose they might think proper. If, however, individuals, either from the hope of making money or from ignorance, should, notwith standing what I had said to them, or without any communi cation with me, proceed in a way which might bring them within the provisions of the act, I could only regret their having done so without the power of preventing it, and would make no objection to the rigorous enforcement of the law in their case. Mr. Marcy concurred in the correctness of my positions, and said that be had never doubted that this was the view I would take of the qu stion, adding that the United States' Government felt ob:iged to act with per fect impartiality, and to cause the laws to be enforced in this as in the case of a like attempt, from whatever quarter pro ceeding.' " I could have had no conceivable object at that time in misrepresenting this matter, neither apprehending nor fore ' seeing that it would ever form the subject of any future difference or controversy. It would not only have served no purpose, but it would have defeated my own intentions and those of her Majesty's Government to have misled Mr. Marcy on the subject. It is therefore reasonable to suppose that I could not have designed to do so. I have also to refer to Mr. Lumley's despatch, giving an account of his conversation with Mr. Marcy oa the same subject. It is entirely confirmatory of my own. I would further observe that Mr. Marcy's own recollection of his conversation with me, as well as that which be held w ith M r. L um l ey, seems to be by no means clear, even on his owu showing His account of it in his despatch to Mr., Buchanan of the 9th of July, 1855, differs considerably frori that given in his de spatch of the 28th of December. .% at fault in regard 7th,of 18;ifb - "Mr. Marcy's recollection is still mo. 'to his interview with Mr. Lumley oa - ,t stouiruuniaation by that .1.--mr despatch attic 12th of April (see' Nnuday's jet hof May 7). Mr. Marcy, in his despa . ,' ,of July M. 3, to Mr. Buchanan, states that your Lorr, despatoh of April 12 was presented to him by me at - ti_l Department . ofitate, although Mr. Marcy afterwards states Ciu his despatelVotthe 28th) that this very despatch was received at 'the Depart ment of State during my absence in the provinces, the fact being that the despatch in question was delivered to Mr. Marcy by Mr. Lumley, at Mr. Marcy's private residence, on which occasion Mr. Marcy expressed himself to Mr. Lumley in nearly the same terms in which he had used to mo on the 22d of March in respect to the recruitment. But this con versation seems to have escaped Mr. 3farcy's altogether, for he never alludes to it. "Mr. Marcy has alleged it against me as not one of the least causes of complaint that the idea of obtaining recruits from the United States was by me first suggested, and urged upon her Majesty's Government, and that I misinformed them as to the prospects and possibility of obtaining men in the United States. It will be unnecessary f,r me to dwell on this subject to your lordship, who is in possession of all my communications ou this subject ; but I mus, observe that it is something more than a gratuitous assumption on the part of Mr. Marcy to say that this appears from the correspondence laid before Parliament. I would beg to quote a passage from say letter to your lordship of Nov. 27 on this subject, printed with the correspondence laid before Parliament : " In compliance with your desire I proceed to make a statement of all that to my knowledge has been done here in regard to obtaining recruits from the United States ; or, I should rather say, in regard to giving those who voluntarily offered their services the information and - assistance which was necessrry to enable them to join the British army with out the laws of the United States being thereby infringed. " Iu November last you mentioned to me that Mr. 'on sill . Mathew had reported th a t a goo d many persons, B r i t i s h subjects, had expressed to him their wish to enlist in our army and navy, and to go to the East; and, as the want of men was then much felt, particularly for the army, you di rected me to give my immediate and best attention to the matter, and make such inquiry as I could as to whether any such desire existed. ," This inquiry I immediately instituted by addressing to our Consuls in the principal cities of the United States a con fidential circular, by which they were instructed to ascertain and report to me, whether the desire to join her Majesty's service really existed, and to what extent. I inculcated uilon her Majesty's. Consuls the utmost caution in conducting this inquiry, stating to them distinctly, that enlistment and enrolment of citizens of the United States, or of residents therein, for the service of a foreign Power with which the United States is at peace, would be clearly in contravention with the provisions of the United States' neutrality laws ; and adding that any measures which might have even the appearance of an infraction of those laws by the agents of her Majesty's Ghvernment would be highly obj ectionable.' ," The answers which were returned by her Majesty's Consuls to my circular letter seemed strongly to confirm the fact that the desire to enlist in the British service did exist to a very considerable extent, and more particularly at New York, Philadelphia, and New Orleans. During the same period numerous offers and proposals to enlist in the British service were received by me, both written and verbal, and I had therefore every reason for be lieving that there actually were great numbers of persons in the United States who, from various motives, desired to join the British army. " I may here remark that all the persons I allude to vo luntarily came forward, and offered to do so without solicita tion on my part, or on that of any of her Majesty's agents, and that in no single instance, either at that time or since, did I invite any perion whatever to enter the British service. I can safely say that I never made a single application or even broached the subject to anybody; in every case the ap plications were made to me. " It was but fair to conclude, therefore, that were authentic information given of the willingness of her Ma. jesty's Government to avail themselves of the services of such persons, and in regard to the terms which, under the Foreign Enlistment Act, her Majesty's Government were authorised to offer to persons so enlisting, a great addition to the Foreign Legion might be effected without any infrac tion whatever of the laws of the United States " The obstacle to our immediately availing ourselves of these offers was that I was not then acquainted with the terms on which recruits would be received, and with the na; tura of any arrangements which might have been made in England or in the colonies for their enrolment. " My answers, both verbal and written, to persons making inquiries of me in regard to those points were there fore necessarily of a general nature, stating, without de clining the offers made, that I was at that time unable to in form the applicants of the measures which her Majesty's. Government intended to take upon that subject. " ' Among the persons who were continually addressing me letters, seeking interviews with me, and complaining that they and their friends and countrymen were kept in a state cf suspense as well as in distress, were Messrs Hertz and Strobel, who have since been made use of by the American Government to substantiate against me and her Majesty's Consular agents a charge of having violated the neutrality laws of the United States, by hiring and retaining them, and others through their agency to eater the British service. " ' I took no further steps in the matter until the 3d of March, when I received your despatch of the 16th of Feb. " By this I was informed that an instruction had been addressed by the Colonial Secretary to Sir Gaspard le Mar chant, with respect to foreigners and British subjects who desire to enlist in the British army, and I was instructed to pit myself, without loss of time, into communication with Sir Gaspard le Marchant on the subject. " The despatch enclosed the copy of the instruction to Sir Gaspard, to the effect that he was to ascertain and report to her Majesty's Government whether Halifax would be conve niently made a rendezvous for persons in the United States who desired to enlist, and he was directed, on his part, to place himself in immediate communication with this Lega tion, with a view of ascertaining the means which might be employed for bringing the volunteers from the United State:- to Halifax, and in regard to other points which were Imes , sary to be taken into consideration.' " I trust that I have ; by pry above observations, cleared myself from the imputation of want of frankness towar,ls MI Mareyin my conversation with him of March 22, 1855. Tlu he misunderstood me I of course cannot doubt, as he pos tiveiy states it to be so, " I have already expressed, and now repeat, my deep r( gret at this circumstance; but I am still at a loss to - andel stand why Mr. Marcy, if he wished to put an end to the pt.( ceedings for obtaining recruits from ' the United States, di not once, in the course of repeated conversations on othe Fuhjecti with me, from early in June' until September, eve allude to•th matter, although it appears from hie despatche to-Mr. Buchanan during that peri d, that he was under th impression that the recruitment was going on with continu ally increasing success. It was only by his note of Septembe 5 that I was informed of his view of the matter; and it wa only by the proceedings - at Philadelphia in the trial of Hertz and by Mr. Cushing's instructions to the district attorne; there that I was made aware of the course which the' Unitei States' Government proposed to pursue in regard to it. "Mr. Marcy states, however, that I ought to have know that such views were entertained by the Government of th United States from the proceedings instituted in the court of justice at New York and elsewhere againskrecruitment fo: Ale .Crimea.. My answer is that those prosecutions were fa violations of the muniiipnelaw, which I. hod neither.antho rased, erecouraged, nor designed to authorise, and it woulc spool -grange that the represe n t a ti,s oforforeign Governmeni , allowed to collect from the newspaper reports 01 proceedings in district courts the views of Government at the • seat of which he -resided, and with whose Mioisters he was in constant communication. , • " - Who, limn, Mr. Marcy asks, were responsible for the illegal acts proved to have been committed ? It may be re plied, those only who were convicted of .thern - viz., Hertz and Wagner,- both trf whom acted without any authority from any British agent?, and, in the case of Hertz, against my ex. prowl desire, as is prayed by Hertz's own letter to her Ma jesty's Secretary of LegatiOn at Washington, and by Mr. Bucknall's ailldavit, which Musided. to the documents laid before Paastinent. - " I cannot conclude this despatch without calling your Lordship's attention to the papers in relation to Nicaragua recently laid before Congress.. These papers show in a re markable manner how much the policy of the United States, and the interpretation of the American law by the United States' Government• may vary with circumstances. Your lordship will perceive from this correspondence that at the very time when the United States' Government Were taking the most extreme measures against her Majesty's Consuls and myselffor an alleged violation of the law of nations and the sovereignty of the United Statee, for having given informa tion and assistance to persons desirous of leaving the United States to be enlisted in the British army, Mr. Marcy was con tending with M. Molina, the Minister of 'Costa Rica, 'that the liberty to go where hopes of better fortune may entice them belong- to freemen, and no free Government withholds it ;' and ' that the laws of the United States do not even con fer authority to examine into the motives which may lead any one to exercise the right of expatriation.' "The enclose' extracts, placed in opposite columns, will show some of these contradictory opinions : " MR. MARCY to M. IRRLSARI, " MR. MARCY TO MR. MOLINA, DEC. 6, 1855. APRIL 25, 1856.

INattla re hark, finally, thatt *sem wall great regret that Mr. Marcy characterises the tenour of my despatches .to your lordship as exceptionable, though he omits to say in what retarect they are so. I had thought, my lord, that after having listened for nine months, without reply, to statements containing the grossest misrepresentat ons of my conduct, as well as attacks upon my character, when at last a fair oppor tunity was afforded to me of defending myself, I might have done so with freedom without giving offence. " Your lordship has, however, considered those despatches as not unworthy of being submitted to her Majesty and laid before Parliament and the public ; and I have only to say that I am quite content to abide by the opinion which may be formed of them by auy candid and reasonable parson who may peruse thena.—l have, dm, "J. F. CRAM TO Y. P.S. Since the above was written Colonel Smolenski has called upon me and offered voluntarily to make upon oath the following statements in regard to the falsehood of certain facts alleged in the affidavits of Celagi and Sierawski, as far as he (Colonel Smolenski) is therein concerned : " With regard to the statement of Louis Celagi and others, contained in the affidavit (page 16), that the said Celagi knows the handwriting of the British Minister, from having seen the whole of Colonel Smoleuski's correspondence, Colonel Smolenski declares that this statement is false, inasmuch as Colonel Smolenski never has received a single line written by Mr. Crampton, nor had any of that Minister's handwriting in his possession. " With regard to Celagi's statement, in the same affidavit, that Mr. Crampton's name appeared as a party to an agree ment between Colonel Smolenski and Colonel Ansel', de scribed in such affidavit, Colonel Smolenski declares that this statement is also false. He (Colonel Smolenski) recollects that Mr. Crampton distinctly stated to him that he could not sign any such agreement, as, by doing so, he would be violat ing the law of the United States. " With regard to a further statement also • contained in said affidavit, that Mr. Crampton wrote a letter to Lieuten ant Preston and Ensign Davis, the substance of which was that any persons recommended by said Smolenski were to be received by them and treated as officers, Colonel Smolenski has no knowledge of such letter ; and he declares that Celagi's statement, that ho saw this letter in Colonel Smolenski's cor respondence and made a copy of it, is and must be false, in asmuch as no such letter was ever in Colonel Smolenski's pos session. " With respect to a letter printed as an appendix to said affidavit, and signed Joseph Srnolonski,' he (Colonel &mien ski) declares that this letter is a forged document, and was never written by him, neither did he ever sign any such do cument. " With regard to the affidavit (page 19) of C. L. Sieiawski, Colonel Smolenski states that the statements in said affidavit, so far as they relate to Colonel Smolenski, are generally un true ; that he (Colonel Smolenski) never at any time received a letter from Mr. Crampton, and consequently could not have shown three letters written to himself, and signed by that gentleman, to Mr. Sieraw s ki. " Colonel Smolenski knows that Mr. Sierawski never was, as he states himself to have been, a captain in the military service of Belgium. " Your lordship will perceive that these declarations by Col. Smolenski contradict the main statements by which it is sought to implicate me in the recruitment, and you will be able to judge of the degree of credit which may be attached to the other statements by persons who have sworn to such deliberate falsehoods. " J. F. C." Lord Clarendon made the following reply to Mr. Dallas on receipt of the announcement that the Government of the United States hal determined to dismiss Mr. Cramp ton : "THE EARL OF CLARENDON TO MR. DALLAS. " Foreign•office, Juno 26. "Sir,—The despatch of Mr. Marcy, which you read to me on the 11th instant, and of which you placed a copy in my hands, has received the attentive consideration of her Ma jesty's Government. " - Her Majesty's Government are gratified at learning that the assurances contained in my note to you of the SOth April, that no intention existed on the part of her Majesty's Govern ment to violate the laws, compromise the neutrality, or disre. gard the sovereignty of the United States, have been unre servedly accepted by the President, and that all cause of dif ference with respect to the question of enlistment has ceased to exist between the Government of Great Britain and of the United States. " It is with much regret, however, that her Majesty's Go vernment have learnt that the President has been unable to alter the view whickhe had taken of the conduct of her Ma jesty's Minister at Washington, and of her Maiesty's Consuls at New York, Philadelphia, and Cincinnati, in regard to the transactions which have been under discussion between the two Governments. " Mr. Marcy had, in his despatch of Dec. 28, 1855, stated that the President was of opinion that those officers of her Majesty had violated the laws of the United Ststes, by being parties to enlistments within the Union ; that he, on that ground, considered that they had become unacceptable organs •f her Majesty's Government in the United States, and that he consequently requested that they might be removed from their respective posts. " Her Majesty's Government did not share this opinion of the President in regard to the conduct of those officers of her Majesty ; and, having communicated to those officers the charges made against them, and the evidence on which those •harges rested, and having received from them full den 7 als of the truth of the charges, and such corroborating evidence as they were able to procure tending to invalidate the testimony brought against them, her Majesty's Government laid all these matters fully and frankly before the Government of the United States, with the persuasion that they would remove the unfavourable impression whi, h had been created in the mind of the President with regard to the conduct and pro.' ceedings of her Majesty's Minister at Washington and of the three above-mentioned Consuls. " It appears, however, that this communication has not produced the effect which her Majesty's Government had ex pected ; and Mr. Marcy, in stating that the President's view of these matters remained unaltered, accompanied that state ment by a number of additional documents, tending to con. arm the view which the President had originally taken of these matters. " Her Majesty's Government have carefully examined these additional documents, but do not And in them any evidence worthy of belief which would •shake the confidence whiz h they have reposed in the assurances of Mr. Crampton and of. the Consuls. which they e .Majesty's, have jes ty ev ' se r heldoGovernmentfthe zeal,ret a ,retain ability,t he hi gh and o i nt egrity p on of Mr. Crampton, and of the earnest desire by which he has been animated to avoid all just cause of offence to the Government to which he was accredited. Her Majesty's Government - cannot but believe that on many material points in respect to his conduct the President has been mis led Ily_erroneons information, an& by the testimony of wit nesses undeserving of belief. " Her 'Majesty's Government entertain similar convictions as to the - conduct of her Majesty's Consuls at New York, Philadelphia, and Cincinnati. " Such a conflict of opinions on such a matter between the Governments of two great Powers must necessarily be the subject 'of serious deliberations by both ; and her Majesty's Government have not failed,to give to this matter all the con sideration which it justly deserved. " If her -Majesty's Government had been convinced, like the Government of the United States, that her Majesty's officers had, in defiance of their instructions, violated the laws of the United States, her Majesty's Government would, both out of deference to the United States, and from a due regard fa the authority of the British Crown, have removed those .'officers from the posts which they held. . " If the Government of a foreign country were capriciously, and without any apparent belief that it had good ground for doing so, to break of its diplomatic relations with the Minis ter accredited to it by her. Majesty, her Majesty's confidential servants, answerable for maintaining the honours and dignity of the Crown, could not. hesitate as to advising her Majesty equary to break off all diplomatic intercom-se with the Minis ter ofisuch Government accredited to her Court. " But in the present case her Majesty's Goiernment are bouhd to accept the formal and.rdpeated declarations of the President of his belief that tfie:se officers of her Majesty have yiolated the laws of the Union, and axg. pa thataccount, *-Ategelp tabl e arena orimratteeekctiOte the \lovernmell. and authorities of the United Statefl and her Majesty's Go vernnient cannot deny to the Governthent of therUnited States a right similar to thitt which, in a parallel case, they would claim for themselves, —the right, namely, of forming their own judgment as to the bearing of the laws of the Union upon transactions which have taken place within the Union. " I have, therefore, the honour to inform you that, how ever deeply her Majesty's Government regret a proceeding on the part of the President of the United States which cannot ' but be considered as of an unfriendly character, they have not deemed it their duty on that account to advise her Ma jesty to command me to suspend my diplomatic intercourse with you ; and I have to assure you that the high personal esteem which is felt for you by all the members of her Ma jesty's Government will render it most agreeable to myself 'o have the honour of entering into communication with ,ou upon all matters connected with the mutual relations of our two countries. You will be certain of meeting, on the part of her Majesty's Government, the most friendly feelings to wards the United States, and the most anxious desire so t arrange all questions of difference as to reconcile the just rights and real interests of the two countries with the main- ... tenance of those amicable relations, the preservation of which is of such great Importance to both. " I am, &c., "CI:ARENDON." In the following despatch Lord Clarendon replies to the despatch from Mr. Marcy on the Central American ques tion, communicated simultaneously with that in which it was announced that Mr. Crampton would be dismissed : " THE EARL OF CLARENDON TO MR. DALLAS. " Sir, —The despatch of the Secretary of State of the United States dated the 24th ult., a copy of which was placed by you in my hands on the 11th inst., on the subject of the dif ference of opinion between the British Government and that of the United States, regarding the construction and effect of the Convention of April 19, 1850, and the subject of Central America generally, has received the attentive consideration of her Majesty's Government. " Before I proceed to communicate to you the views of her Majesty's Government in reply to this despatch, I will beg leave to remark, in reference to Mr. Marcy's observation that direct communication upon the main subject had for some time ceased between Mr. Buchanan and myself, that such communication had ceased because it appeared to her Ma jesty's Government that ftrther correspondence was not likely to lead to a settlement of the question at issue. That ques tion turned upon the interpretation of the treaty of 1850, re specting which her Majesty's Government learnt for the first time, from Mr. Buchanan, that a view had been taken by the present Government of the United States different from that of the preceding Government. The treaty arose out of the various projects which had been started for commercial com munications across Central America, between the Atlantic and the Pacific, and especially had reference to the scheme of a ship canal by the River St John and the Lake Nicaragua. The main object of the treaty was to provide security that such lines of commercial communication, through whatever part of Central America they might pass, should be free for the use of all nations, and should not fall under the exclusive control of any Power. 1 "These objects and purposes are clearly explained and stated in the Ist Article, which is as follows : " The Governments of Great Britain and the United States hereby declare that neither the one nor the other will ever obtain or maintain for itself any exclusive control over the said ship-canal ; agreeing that neither, will ever erect or maintain any fortifications commanding the same, or in the r thereof, or occupy, or fortify, o r colon.fs€, or assume, .0 '.4e any dominion over Ni car a ua, Cqsta. Rica, the ',oast, or anyopart - Am ca ; nor will .ste of people, tor the ege6 mato 14P6M4r 1 014 t. such fortifications, or cit occupying, fortifying, or r- ....ingificaragua, Costa Rica, it he Mosquito Coast, or any part of Central America, or of assuming or exercising domi nion over the same. Nor will Great Britain or the United States take advantage of any intimacy, or use any alliance, connexion, or influence that either may possess with any State or Government through whose territorry the said canal may pass, for the purpose of acquiring or holding, directly or indirectly, for the subjects or citizens of the one, any rights or advantages in regard to commerce or navigation through the said canal, which shall not be offered, on the same terms, to the subjects or citizens of the other. " Her Majesty's Government deemed that the plain and unquestionable interpretation of this article was, that each Government was prohibited from doing what the words of *he article explicitly declared that neither Government should thereafter do; but that both Governments retained the rights which they had previously enjoyed, where those rights were not expressly limited or abandoned. "With regard especially to the protection which, for a long course of time, the British Government has afforded to the Mosquito Indians, this article; so far from requiring that protection to cease, acknowledges its existence and contemplates its continuance, for the article says that neither party will make use of any protection which it affords, or may afford, to any State or people, for the pur poses of erecting or maintaining any fortifications, or of oc cupying, fortifying, or colonising the countries therein speci fied,' The treaty; therefore, does not require existing pro tection to cease, but only forbids using such protection for certain specified purposes. I repeatedly informed Mr. Buchanan that it was the wish of her Majesty's Government to withdraw from the pro. teetorate of Mosquito, provided they c uld do so with honour, sacuring adequate provision for the King and the Indians of that country ; that Ruatan was a possession of her Majesty's Crown; and that as her Majesty's Government could not consent to abandon the protectorate of Mosquito, or to give up the island of Ruatan, merely in pursuance of an interpre tation given by the Government of the United States to a treaty, which interpretation her Majesty's Government did not admit, the most usual as well as the most friendly course to pursue was to refer the meaning of the treaty to the de cision of a third Power. " This offer was made by me to Mr. Buchanan by the direction of her Majesty's Government; it was several times renewed and discussed between us. Mr. Crampton ought, undoubtedly, according to his instructions, to have communicated to Mr. Marcy, at the time when he received it, my despatch , of the 10th of November, giving an account of my conversations with Mr. Buchanan ; but his not having done so was of little consequence, as Mr. Buchanan bad often assured me that everything which had passed between us had been duly reported to his Government. I am, therefore, at a loss to understand how it happened that the President should, as stated by Mr. Marcy, have been in duced only by certain collateral incidents to infer that arbi. tration by a third power of the difference between the two Governments in relation to Central America had been pro posed by her Majesty's Government. "A misconception has, howover, taken place, which is to be regretted on account of the delay which it has occasioned; but this has been rendered comparatively unimportant by the despatch of Mr. Marcy, and the course of proceeding which he now proposes for the adoption of the two Govern ments. Her Majesty's Government, being as solicitous as the President to preserve unimpaired the friendly relations of the two countries, are prepared to enter into negotiations on these matters, with a sincere desire to bring them to a speedy and satisfactory conclusion. " Mr. Marcy is correct when he states that Great Britain lays no claim to any possessions or territory on the Mosquito Coast, and her Majesty's Government consider now, as they always have considered, that the future condition of the Mosquito Indians, for which her Majesty's Government . are bound in honour to provide, might be assured by direct negotiation. It is not contended, and never has been contended, that the British Government, consistently with the stipulations of the treaty of 1850, could, in the name of the Mosquito Indians, take with military force, and hold, San Juan de Nicaragua, or any other point in Central America ;' and her Majesty's Government agree with Mr. Marcy that such a pro ceeding would be irreconclede with the independence and neutrality of the Isthmus, and would render the treaty nuga• tort' to the United States ; but no such pretension has ever been advanced, and no such proceeding has been contemplated. " With respect to the district of Belize, her Majesty's Go. vernment consider that the only question to be determined, as regards Central America, is that of the boundary between that country and the British possessions ; and, in the settle ment of that question, no insurmountable difficulty need be anticipated. " With respect to Ruatan and the other Bay Islands, the se , at different periods, have been hold by Great Britain as well as by Spain, and, having been again occupied by - British set tlers, formal possession was taken of Ruatan in 1839 by Jreat Britain, which has since been uninterruptedly maintained. The population increased fast, and magistrates were from .ime to time appointed by the superintendent of Belize until 1852, when these islands received a regular form of colonial Govern ment solely for the purpose of their better internal adminis tration ; but Great Britain did not thereby acquire any terri torial rights that she did not previously possess. " The Government of the United States, however, -main tain that, even supposing the Clayton-Bulwer T. eaty were only prospective in its operation, these islands were no part of the British dominions earlier than 1852. " If the differences between the two Governments on this subject cannot be arranged by direct negotiation, there seems no reason why th ey m i ght not f orm the matter f a reference to a third Power. " Her Majesty's Government have learned with satisfac tion that you are instructed to enter into communication with me in respect to Central America, in order to ascertain, in the first place, whether existing differences cannot be promptly terminated by direct negotiation, and, if they can not be so settled, then to discuss the conditions of arbitra• tion on those points of difference as to which this method of settlement may be requisite or applicable. " This is the course which her Majesty's Government has throughout been willing to adopt ; and I have accordingly • GENERAL WILLIAMS AND LORD PALMERSTgNi Yesterday having been fixed for the delivery of the liar- Ifoiv speechee, the opportunity 'eves' enahraceeje of inviting General Sir William Fenwiok. William's of Kars to per form the interesiin; ceremony of laying the foundation 'stone of the chapel of Harrow School, which is intended as -a memorial to the Harrovians who fell in the late war. ; General Williams arrived from his hotel in town. in an open batotiche, with postilions, accompanied by Col. Lake, Capt. Teesdale, aide-de-camp to the General, and Mr. Churchill, his secretary. The scene on the 9ntry of the gallant defender of Kars was one of the greatest enthusi asm, the ro ids being lined with the inhabitantiteof Har row-and the surrounding neighbourhoods, and in several places riumplial arches of evergreens, laurels, &0., were erected The Rw. Dr. VAUGHAN, the head.mister, took tie Chair, in the speech-rooen, shortly after 12 o'clock, when the large room was crowded to excess, chiefly by elegantly elresse'l ladies; the learned master'eininiediate supporters including General Williams, Lord Palmerston, Lord John Russell, Lady Russell, Madame Jenny Lind-Goldschmidt, &e. Ste., • After some slight preliminaries the speeches were deli vered and prizes awarded. The company then proceeded to the ground where the foundation-stone was to be laid. The proceedings commenced with an appropriate prayer offered up by Dr. Vaughan, after which Sir W. Williams notified that the mortar was properly spread. The stone, bearing the following inscription, was then lowered : " June 26, MDCCQLVI." The usual tests having been applied, General Williams declared the stone to be duly laid, amidst reiterated ap plause. Dr. VAUGHAN then delivered a feeling and impressive address. The ley. doctor then read the names of the Hate rovians who fell in the late war,-viz.: Major-General Sir James B. Estcourt. Lieut.-Col. the Hon. T. V. Dawson, Lieut.-Col. J. B. Pattull, C. 8., Capt. H. Jolliffe, Capt. Locewood, Capt. Sir R. Newman, Bart., Capt. Wm. Kent Aller, Captain the Hon. C. W. H. Agar, and Captain W. H. C. G. P ec h e ll. I n conc l us i on, said' De. Yaughen, "Their bodies are buried in a far land, but their names live amongst ns for evermore." %altered Sir WILLIAM WILLIAMS then came forward, and was received with great applause. He said—My lords, la4Ees ' and gentlem e n, D r .. Vau g han as k ed me to come down here to hear the speeches delivered,- and -I accepted the invitation, feeling great pleasure in doing so; and I feel that pleasure the more so now, considering the distin guished and talented company I have the honour of ad dressing. (Hear, hear.) I subsequently rece i ve d ano th er communication pm Dr. Vaughan, requesting me to lay this, the foundation-stone of the chapel, sea memorial to those Harrovians who fell in fighting for their country dur ing the late war. I wrote back, accepting the invitation, and geeing that I hoped I should not be doing wrong in bring ing with me some of the men of Kars. (Cheers.) In the first pleas, here is Colonel Lake, a Harrow man—(sheers)—an officer who did his duty day and night—working by day and watching by night. (Applause.) Again, here is Captain Teesdale, my aide-de-camp, who distinguished himself in every instance during the siege, and on the memorable 11th of September he kept the key of the position for 14 hours. (Applause.) And then here is my secretary, Mr. Churchill—and laying his hands on that gentleman's. shoulder, the gallant general said, " C ome f orwar d , Churchill," and drew him forward, h e hi mse lf appear i ng much affected. Mr. Churchill has (continued General William:), though a civilian, done great good in the ser vice of his country. (Applause.) I have tried you collectively but now I will day a word or two to the Harrow boys I see around me. It is strange that we all try to be thought well of after death, and the more we progress the more that feeling will be spread. Now of the list of names that Dr. Vaughan has read,to you of those Harrovians who fell in the war, it was my honour to know two or three.. of them well. Among others, there is Major-General Est. court, whom I always knew to be one of the best officers; then there was Captain Pechell, who had title and fortune, was the only son, and yet he preferred honour and glory to staying at home to enjoy that; and.after he.had many times distingeished himself he was offered by his sovereign to come and join some regiment at home, very likely Her Majesty's Guards, where he might have enjoyed semi rest. But no, he pref•-rred to stay where he had gained his lau rels. (Cheers.) It in impcs ale to pourtray the gleat forti tude and resignation of that noble man, and I feel sure if there had been two or three sons in that family they would have been given up to their cauntry. I therefore hope tie t these examples may be borne lu mind by the Harrow bey& lam now addressing. (Cheers.) - That they are honoured after death is not all, but they are cared for during life— for does not their sovereign pay visits and console the poor wounded fellows when they are in hospital ? (Hear, hear.) If they die, they die in glory ; if they live, they live for honour and reward. (Cheers.) Then, coming to the ques tion, I may perhaps b e pe rm itt e d t o say t h at I f ee l very glad to think that positions in the army are to be thrown open to public competition. Of that lam very glad, but • I must observe that we have not the books to teach those who are to become candidates I hope the press of this country w 11 take the matter up, and have the best works' on the continent translated,for without proper elementary instruction nothing cao be done. I must also say that if it is intended to do anything, we must have the help of the Government. I only came down here to lay this stone, and having done that, I shall not detain you longer, but I have one more word to say to my young Harrow friends. There is such' a thing as death in glory, but the loss of position is oftentimes felt more severely by the friends of the soldier. I wish to be properly under stood, for it is a fact that an evil word er a thoughtless axiom male cane the loss of a comm i ss i on . If a so l d i er dies lighting in his country's service, his end is glorious, but if, through any misconduct on his part, be loses his position, then nothing but an ignominous fate is open to general conclueee his speech by thank ,ftl3l"ibeuss. i nt il lf gallant theatlention they hid paid hi m , an d th e in .tte-r est they had evinced in his welfare. - Three cheers were then given for General Williams, Captain 'Teesdale, Lord Palmerston, and Dr. Vaughan re spectively. Lord PALMERSTON then said, as an old Harrovian, he wished to say a few words. The present occasion, lie felt, was interesting to all concerned, and showed the deep at tachment and strong affection of all Harrow men to the place where they received their education. They were as sem bled to do honour to the memory of those Harrow men who lost their lives in their country's cause, the names of whom had been read to the meeting. Many of them had been taken away in the prime of life, 'hut they had not lived in vain, haying died in a good cause ; and homight with fairness and truth remark the:there/lever was a more righteous cause than that for which the Harrow men had laid down their lives. (Hear, hear.) He trusted the Harrow boys would not only follow the example set them by those noble fellows who had fallen in the late war, liut • also remember the honour and integrity which had characterised every proceeding of the gallant defender of Kars. General Williams had modestly referred to his comrades as the men of Kars; but he (Lord 'Pal merston) felt they were entitled to be designated as. the heroes of Kars. (Hear, hear.) General Williams was not a Harrow man, but Colonel Lake was, and his lordship trusted that the boys would always show patience undo; emergency, which would no doubt earn for them those laurels which the heroes of Kare bad gained for them selves. After some further observations of a general cha racter, the noble viscount concluded by urging the Har row boys to think well of what General Williams had said to them, and always endeavour to serve their country to the utmost of their power. The whole of the company then proceeded to Dr. Vaughan's residence, where a banquet was served, at the conclusion of which the numerous visitors separated. COURT OF COM WON COUNCIL. Yesterday a court was held for the despatch of im• portant public businevs. TRH INUNDATIONS IN /PRANCE. Mr. ANDERTON rose to move--" That the court, sym► pathising with the persons who have suffered by the late inundations in France do subscribe the sum of 10,000 francs in aid of the fund now being raised for their relief." Alderman FINNIS seconded the motion. After some discussion, it was agreed that "five bun• dred pounds" should be substituted for the words "ten thousand francs." In this form the vote was uhani mously agreed to, and the same was accordingly ordered to be paid by the Chamberlain to the Lord Mayor, to e paid by his lordship trsnsmitted to France. THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY PRESENTED TO SIR W. F. WILLIAMS. • Mr. H. W. VALLANCE then moved that the freedom of this ancient and honourable city be psesented to General Sir F. Williams, of Kars, Bart., K.C.8., with a sword of the value of one hundred guineaP. Mr. Valiance proceeded to review the career of General Wil• Hams from the period of his early training in the Artil lery at Woolwich until thefall of Kars, interspersing his remarks with well chosen terms of eulogy. With the inci lents of the life of the distinguished general the rea der is already acquainted. Mr. Valiance observed, in conclusion, I have purposely foreborne allusion to Lord Stratford de Radcliffe and Lord Clarendon, upon the Masonic principle that when you have nothing to say in praise, it is wiser to be silent. Th e resolution I pro pose is this—" That the corporation of London deeply sympathise with General Sir William Fenwiok Williams, of Kars, Baronet, K C. 8., on the severe sufferings he has undergone at Kars, and regard with sentiments of ardent admiration th e di scipline, the calm b ravery, the jud4ment, and sagacity evinced throug hout the siege o f Kars, as also the honourable terms of capitulation se cured by the general at. the time of surrender. The corporation, in testimony thereof, present the freedom of this ancient and honourable city to the general, ao onpanying the gift with a sword of the value of one hundred guinea.: (r., ,, ud cheers.) Alderman KENNSDY et c ended the motion, which was carried unanimously, and amidst loud acclamations.
