On the voyage . across the .Black Sea the men died fast from cholera, and they vrego thrown over board to an alarming. extent. At th A s was the first night of the army's bivouacking in tte enemy's territory, it was considered desirable by Lord Raglan that the men should substitute a blanket and - A change of clothes for the knapsack. In Bulgaria the men bad suffered so much from beat that their knapsacks had to be carried for them. The Commissioners conclusions with refer ence to the sufferings of the inen from want of their knapsacks were founded .in error. Inquiries were made every day as to the state of the raen, and reports were each morning laid before Lord Raglan. Col. Wetherell was then callect, and examined by Sir It. Airey—He said that his evidence was taken in a conversational manner by the .-Commissioners in the Crimea, Col. Tulloch writing down as much as he pleased. He certainly did see it afterwards; but he did not sign it. The printed evidence in the blue-book was not the evidence he gave before the Commission ers, but the written document produced contained something of what he said. The first time he , saw his evidence in a collective form was yesterday in that room. He bad no recollection of the Commissioners offering him his evidence for correction, and none that he remembered bad been made in it at his directions. The evidence in the blue book did not contain this whole of his evidence -given before the. Commissioners: in' thp Crimea. Many explanations which he gave to account for delays were not printed.

(Loud cries of "No, no 1" "Hear, hear," and movement.) Mr. READ spoke warmly in farour of the motion. He would not say that the event about to be commemorated was the termination of a glorious war, but it was cer tainly a glorious peace. (Cheers.l The question was, whether what had just taken place was an honourable termination of a great struggle ? He contended that it was, for everything had been by means of it put upon such a footing as must lead to lasting good effects. He could see why the con , ideration of the subject should be adjourned. He found that the integrity of the Otto man power was preserved and its independence esta blished ; that the privileges of the Christian subjects of that empire were secured ; and that other great points would be a lasting peace so far as diplomacy could make it lasting. He concluded by hoping that the principle of arbitration would constitute the great element of deci sion in the future quarrels and differences between Go- • which reached them from the United States, that it would be difficult to prevent the execution of the contemplated arrangements from being :Attended by circumstances which might give risa to discussions between the two Govern ments. It was seen that, however strict might be the order of her Majesty's Government that nothing should be done in contravention of thelaws of the United States, and how ever wrupulous her Majesty's officers in America might be in obeying those orders, yet a misconception of the precise bearing of those laws might lead some of those officers un intentionally to overstep their limits, while other persons, either from honest zeal or for the sake of gain, or from a desire to entrap her Majesty's officers, might do things at variance with the provisions of those laws. Her Majesty's Government, therefore, being most anxious that nothing should happen to disturb the good understanding between the two Governments, and being desirous of showing unequivocally their respect for the laws of the United States, at once, and of their own accord, determined to give up the further prosecution of the arrangements in question, and they accordingly sent out to Canada and to Nova Scotia on the 22d June, 1855, orders to discontinue all further proceedings in the matter of enlistment for the Foreign Legion. A fortnight after these orders had been sent out, the undersigned received from Mr. Bnchanan a note, dated July 6, alleging that the neutrality laws of the United States had in many instances been violated by persons tak ing steps, either with or without the approbation of the British Government, for the purpose of engaging or enlist ing.within the Unite i States recruits for the British ser vice ; and Mr. Buchanan, in the conclusion of his note, stated that "the President would be much gratified to learn that her Majesty's Government had not authorised the proceedings complained of, but has' condemned the conduct of its officials engaged therein, and had visited them with its' marked dispeasure. as well as taken deci sive measures to - of nations letter belief t to b° ence.

On resuming the performances which have been suspended during the, last three years, the Director of her Majeety's Theatre is anxious to assure the patrons of the Opera and the public, that no exertion shall be wanting to secure for tkis establishment that high position it so long maintained ; and he trusts that the renewal of the enterprise under more prosperous auspices will be accompanied with that favour . and support which no frequenter of the Opera needs to be ( reminded were for so many years accorded to a brilliant and successful management. The secession, in 1847, of many of those performers who had long been attached to the Opera House was the com mencement of a long and arduous struggle to maintain the 'fortunes of the old house ; and it was not till the wealth of - four saccessiire competitors had been fruitlessly lavished upon the rival theatre, that Mr. Lumley was reluctantly compelled to retire from the contest. From that time to the present Mr. Lumley's efforts have been unremitting to re-open her Majesty's Theatre upon a permanent basis, and to restore the Opera to its ancient home. He has received liberal encouragement from every side, and, effectually aided by noble and generous support from a qxarter where the refinements of art and taste never fail to find a patron, he is now enabled gratefully to announce the immediate resumption of performances. At the present moment there are vocalists, of an excellence seldom surpassed, who have never been heard by an English public. Of these the elite have been secured for the present season. Her Majesty's Theatre is marked out by its size, its situa tion, and its convenience of access, no less than by old and interesting associations, as the appropriate seat of the Opera. In 4e acoustic properties, so essential to the effective pro duction of the lyrical drama, it is acknowledged to surpass every other stage in Europe. In consequence of some happy accident of construction a result has been attained that science has failed to explain, and that no architect could engage to teproduce, by which the faintest 'tones and the most delicate vocalisation penetrate with unimpaired clearness to the re .rnotest recesses of the vast edifice. The arrangements completed and in progress, both in Opera and Ballet, will, it is confidently hoped, be thought worthy of the former reputation of the Theatre, and of the just ex pectations of its distinguished supporters. In consequence of the late period at which it was resolved to open the Theatre, the arrangements, satisfactory as it is hoped they will even now be found, are not yet fully com pleted ; and negotiations are in progress from which impor tant accessions are expected.

TILE MILITARY BOARD OF INQUIRY. [A. part of the following appeared in our impression of yesterday.] The Board re assembled at the usual hour. Mr. Assistant-Commissary General Crookshank asked the Board to call upon the Adjutant• General or the Quartermaster-General to produce Lord Raglan's letter, containing an expression of his lordship's disapprobation of that conduct for which he (Mr. Crookshank) was placed under arrest by Lord Lucan. The Judge-Advocate-General asked Mr. Crookshank to state in which department he expected the letter could be found. Mr. Crookshank said he did not believe such a letter was in existence. Lord Luca!' had expressed a belief that it wan, and he (Mr. Crookshank) wished it to be produced if it were in existence. The correspondence in connection with hie arrest passed between Lord W. Panlett and Mr. Filder. The Court gave no intimation of their intention to comply with Mr. Crookshank's request. Sir B. Airey was called on •to resume his statement, but before doing so asked Colonel Tulloch if the notes of the evidence of Colonel Wetherall, handed into the board in accordance with his (Sir R. Airey's) request, were the original notes of the evidence given by the gallant colonel before the commander in the Crimea ? Colonel Tulloch said he believed they were. The evi dence war taken by him, and was in his own hand writing. Colonel Wetherall's evidence was mixed up with that of Colonel Gordon's; and when the evidence was sent to the latter for correction, he re-wrote it, sending back only the copy. Sir R. Airey—Where are the original minutes! Colonel Tulloch—C )lonel Gordon has got them. Colonel Gordon said he bad never had any other do cument in his possession than that now produced. The Judge-Advocate General—General Airey wants the original minutes taken by the Commander in the Crimea. Colonel Tulloch said be could not see why this appli cation was persisted in. Colonel Wetherall and Colons Gordon could both be called and could state if there was anything wrong in their evidence. He would make search for them, but his belief was that there were none others in existence but those produced. Gen. Airey—The object I have in asking for the pro duction will appear hereafter. In reply to a question from the Judge•Advocate•Gene ral, Gen. Airey said it was difficult to point out the par ticularpassages in in t i li xe e d report to which he objected, report, to the end ooft:Ntqhfueeeirasieinsd unobjectionable.

The report would be found in the archives of tle . Secretary at War's department, and he believed it contained no animadver sion upon the conduct of himself and Lord Lucan or any other officer. That prelimin t a h r e y report, he thought, t ded o i f n t t o n point out that the of the all ri t e h e t hen poison ilr 0 c o e u e had duties bean a n lde powersd therefore gave himself littlequeries, and ho misapprehensions in more trouble about Quarter-Mas ter-General's office by misconceptio as to the counter signature of checks and returns, and went into details C re e fe rn r m en i c ss e in to ns t r h s e with 'a view to show how the system s' looked, and the nature of the mistaken opinions which prevailed. (Sir R. Airey) specially appointed Col. Wetherell He erall as sub distributor of stores, in order to avoid undue appearance of formality ; and , in order to tak e additional care, f he gave instructions that no requisitions should be out especial reference to him, and the Ae r s e i t used with out were ordered to go to the st Commissariat Quer- Stores every day, in order to make themselves quainted with what there was available for the ac troops ; and the consequence of this was, that articles which he did not find in the returns of the Co mmissariat Store keeper, the Ass istant- Q uartermas ter found i stores. He had e ver y reason to believe that the n the ub. departments had been administer e d in accordance s with the spirit of t he g eneral instructions . He believed that the chief sufferings of the ar my arose out of the diffi cu lty that was experienced in bri n ging bales of goods f rom the sea to a cam p p it ched seven v n e p miles off. (Sir R. Aire y q uoted ext ensively from the evidence of several officers in support of his statement s .) and as great want s were, however, labour and tra nsit, as the sufferings of the men increased the di ficienciesin those respects we re felt in p ro p ortion, and in order to show that be took every means to get rid of official routine, be mentioned that, by the regulations of the War-office forms were issued with twenty-four blanks to be filled up before a man could obtain a great coat, which forms h owever were thrown aside and an other issued with Lord Raglan's consent with but one blank in it to be filled up before signed by him (Sir R. Airey). Regulations f or warm clothing were issued faster than the men could fetch it. The failure of transport and the overworking of the men were questions which did not touch his peculiar responsibility. He emphatically di sc l a i m ed the possibility of an y two individuals, whether civilians or military men, coming to the Crimea in the middle of March, and be able to arrive at a fair report or opinion upon what could or could not be done by the army there, placed as it was in a position of difficulty--beyond all human conception—and in the middle of winter. Sir Richard Airey concluCied his statement with an elaborate panegyric on the conduct of the late Lord Raglan during the time he commanded the army in the East. The Judge-Advocate-General —Do you intend to call witnesses to-day, General Airey ? General Airey—Yes. The Committee adjourned for half an hour; On the re-assembling of the Board, Sir Richard Airey, in reply to a question from Sir W. Rowan relative to the army landing in the COURT 01! COMMON COUNCIL. ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN ON THE PEACE. Yesterday a special Court was held in consequence of a requisition numerously signed "to consider of an ad dress to her Majesty upon the definitive treaty of peace between the Allies and his Imperial Majesty the Empe ror of All the Russias." Complaint was made by several aldermen that they had not received summons to attend so important a meet ing of the Common Council, and by several Common Councilmen that they had not received summons to at tend upon the interesting occation of the proclamation of peace. The Town-Clerk said that all which was sanctioned by practice and precedent on both occasions had been done, and it was loudly asserted that the difficulty was solely occasioned by the separation of each Court from the other, and could only be removed by their coniplete union. (A. latieh.) Alderman and Sheriff KENNEDY said—l have reason to be proud of the position in which the kindness of my fellow-citizens has done me the honour to place me, and which has given me the privilege of taking a leading part in the ceremonial of the proclamation of peace, and in now being their representative to deliver the senti• went- which I believe they feel on the present important occasion, of preparing an address to the Throne convey. trig our congratulations to our beloved Sovereign. (Hear, hear.) Let me ref -r to the history of the two years past, and see what are the subjects of congratulation. We can never forget the expesssion of "having drifted into the war," which marked the most anxious solicitude on our part to avoid it. Every resource of explanation and solicitation was exhausted—no spirit of aggression existed on our eart—no thirst for glory and no lust for acquisi tion—the one object now attained was all we sought— the maintenance of the integrity and independence of the Ottoman empire. (Hear, hear.) Nor was the war ihe result of our resistance to aggression. The Ottoman Government, with a spirit which can never.be too much admired, defied the overwhelming force of their oppo. nent, and on their own responsibility declared war, and marched their army to the protection of their frontier. Nor is it solely the grand principle which we have as serted. We have substantial guarantees—the destruc tion of the Black Sea fleet, the capture and overthrow of the standing menace, and the Sea of Azoff swept; Kertch, Yenikale, and Kinbourn taken and held ; the Black Sea neutralised ; the Danube opened ; and equal rights granted by the Sultan to his Christian subjects ; for triumphs which speak to the future, and give us a glorious pledge that the aggression which has been in brooding preparation for a century has been effectually met and disposed of. A mere word will sometimes re nol a history ; and if you refer to the 53d chapter of Gibbon you will find a learned discussion on the word "Sebastopol," which will show that the very name was intended to convey the avowed f rot hat the fortress was meant as a standing menace to indicate the advancing policy of Rualia. This is not the arena for the discu— sion of the conduct of tense who carried on the war. The object of the war not being conquest we naVe-Th tained all that we were bound to ask. The Russian frontier, for the first time in history, has receded. Half a million of men, the flower of the Ruhsian army and navy, have perished ; the first aggression was signally repulsed, and the invaders driven out of the Turkish territories. Since that event the Allies have been the assailants, and every assault has terminated injuriously to Russia, while the poor compensation of the acqui-i -tion of Kars was by no means a triumph to the Russian army, which was desperately repulsed on the last occa sion they ventured to attack. The result of the war and the exhaustion of men and means have thus read a lesson to the most encroaching and domineering Power the world ever saw, that it must no longer look to ear for the promotion of the prosperity of its people. The alderman then directed the attention of the Court to the fact that England was taunted with the vice of being unprepared for war ; that while France was able to pour in her most capable leaders to the seat of war from Algeria, England was prohibited by the fatal interposition of routine from transferring from her territories in the East to the scene of action the persons best qualified to accomplish the great objects of the war. He trusted and believed that an amendment in thatrespect would spring from our recent experience, and that the project of placing the right men in the right 1)13033 would supplant the pernicious action of the old system. He spoke with admiration of the terms in which the procla mation of the thanksgiving was expressed, alluded to the prediction of Napoleon, that Russia was to be checked by the union of England and France alone, and earnestly hoped that the union which at present so harmoeiousie existed between those two great nations would render the proclamation of any future peace unnecessary. He thea briefly adverted to the conduct of the German States, and their present position and weight in the scale of European Powers. He expressed confidence in the great future prosperity of Turkey and in the spread of Christian enlightenment there, and he concluded, after warmly approving the articles of the treaty against pri vateering and the amelioration of war as respected neu trals, by moving,— " That a loyal and dutiful address of congratulation be presented to her Majesty on the auspicious event of a defi nitive treaty between the allies and his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of All the Russias for the restoration of peace and the maintenance of the integrity and independence of the Ottoman empire." (Chegrs.) Three Common Councilmen rose to second the motion of Alderman and Sheriff Kennedy, but it was deter mined by the vote of the Court that the honour should be conferred upon Mr. Rowley, who, as chairman of one of the principal committees, was considered to be enti tled to the distinction. Mr. Roweev then rose and said the hon. alderman who introduced the proposition had given such admirable reasons for designating the peace a glorious event that he would do nothing more than merely second the mo tion. Mr. GRESHAM said he heard with surprise the ground upon which the motion for the address W 33 sustained. He, as a matter of course, felt grateful to Providence for peace ; but how any one could call the peace which had just been proclaimed a glorious peace he could not comprehend. He condemned the whole conduct of those who had carried on the war for the palpable de• fects in the system of preparation and administration ; and he considered the abandonment of Kars to the enemy to be a test of their most cruel treachery. He thanked God, but he did not thank the Government, for the peace. (Laughter and cries of "Hear.") He did not think that any glory was achieved by the siege of Sebastopol, and he was decidedly opposed to the idea of presenting an address of an bumble and cringing character to such men as the present Government was composed of. Deputy DAKIN deprecated the language used by Mr. Gresham, which he said was not justified by any obser vation used by Alderman Kennelly. The effect of the late war would be to teach the Emperor of Russia and his people no longer to direct their energies to war, but to the arts of civilisation and peace, and the mover was perfectly justified in deseribingthe nature and quality of the lesson which bad been given to the aggressor. Alderman SIDNEY was quite at a loss to know why such a subject should engage the attention of the Court. He could not see why her Majesty should be addressed upon such a matter. It was well known that the Queen was relieved Irma all responsibility by her Ministers, so that the Court were about to go to her Majesty to praise the very persons who had not proved that they merited approbation. He approved the appointment of a day of thanksgiving fer peace, but if the address meant anything it meant that the Court applauded those who advised the war and conducted it. (Cries of "no, no.") The matter would have kept very well for a week or a fortnight at any rate, and they would then have the opportuuity of hearing the lucid statements of Lord Clarendon in the one house, and Lord Palmerston in the other. (" Hear, hear," and " No.") He wanted to know whether the country had the blessings of peace. The war had cost 100 millions of money, and 50,000 lives, and he wished to know whe ther the peace which had been spoken of was 0110 on which the country ought to be congratulated ? (Disap probation, and cries of " Hear, hear.") He believed it was a peace which settled no principle. The main features remained to be settled yet by commissioners. (" Hear, hear," and " No, no.") He had he ar d mem b ers express great dissatisfaction at the war, the conduct of the war, and the termination of the war. No one re joiced more than he on the restoration of peace ; but never had a war been undertaken in which England was so deeply humiliated. (" No, no !" and " Hear, hear.") The review at Spithead the other day was an exhibition of great power' Rilld faloweci . that England __ vernmente s Mr. 1101• GOOD differed from Alderman Sidney as to the construction likely to be placed upon the language and meaning of the address. There was nobody who would not receive gratification at finding that the hor rors of war were at an end, and to express that sentiment in an address to the Queen would be a singular way of toadying to the Ministers. Mrs . Roes said the treaty was a glorious one, and would be remembered to the credit of the age. He de possessed the wonderful material of her greatness in full vigour, but that very display betrayed by its contrast ; ,.the. wretched mismanagement which this country had so much reason to deplore. The peace would, he readily admitted, be a subject fit for congratulation if it were a scribed the effects of the war as having greatly exceeded the general expectation in the destruction of the alarm ing power of Russia and the accomplishment of perma nent benefits for the world, and he believed that Turkey , would, if England did make more haste, aapear fore most in the race of religious liberty. Mr. JONES said he trusted the Court would be unani mous upon the subject. It had been the practice of the Court to address the Crown on the achievement of peace, and the present was an occasion of sincere congratula tion on what was the greatest of all blessings. Sir P. LAURIE supported the motion. The worse the war was conducted the greater would be the necessity for peace. He looked upon peace as a great blessing, particularly when it put se end to mismanagement among the other desperate evils attending it. (A. laugh.) Alderman CUBITT said he was anxious fa. peace in common with his fellow-subjects, and he was surprised to bear, as he did sometimes hear, that the peace just ratified was a sham, a rotten peace. (Hear.) He had read the treaty. He had read all the protocols with great attention, and everything was as clear to him as if he had been present in the room in which the confer ences had been held. The treaty was founded upon most equitable principles. He would not call the peace a glorious peace. That was not the word, for the word " glorious," applied to one side, meant " degrading" upon the part of the other. (Cheers.) It was a fair arbitration of all the difficulties which surrounded the conditions of those principally interested, and which were likely to arise. The allies went into the war with an avowed object. They sought no aggrandisement, and they required of Russia what was necessary for the general security, and they obtained it. Nothing could be more fair than the spirit with which the important conferences were carried on and the unanimity which marked their termination. (Cheers.) Alderman COPELAND said the proceedings of the Court were premature. There were some explanations necessary as to the circumstances of the treaty. His friend (Alderman Cubitt) said that the treaty was a fair arbitration. Had the award been made I (" Hear, hear," and a laugh.) It would be agreeable to ascertain some thing about the commissioners appointed to regulate as to the important business of the navigation of the Da nube and other essential matters before the Court came to a determisation, such as that which seemed to have a majority of supporters in the Court. They should think of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. (Hear, and " No, no !") The Court might rely upon it that there would be num berless disputes among the commissioners. (" No, no.) Why, be would ask, if the allies had a right to be offended with Russia, had they not asked the Emperor to settle the bill ? (Laughter, and " Hear, hear.") He must declare in conclusion, that never was there a peace which was looked upon with such apathy as the peace which had been described as just ratified. Mr. BESLEY did not understand why people cavilled at the propositions. He had read the treaty and the pro tocols, and he was compelled to cmless that Lord Clarendon had proved himself, in the whole of the nego• tiations, a much greater man than he had ever sup posed his lordship to be. (Rear, hear.) There was en untrue of a secure peace ; he would not say a lasting peace, because who in the present state of t he world could expect any great permanency I But be looked upon the mention of arbitration as most propitious to the great interests of humanity. (Hear, hear.) He would support the motion, but be would watch the ad dress, so that not a word would appear in it in favour of the bungling of the Government. Alderman Rose said Alderman Copeland had asked why Russia had not been asked to pay the bill ; but the question was, whether Russia, if she had been able to pay the bill, would have stopped the war. (Hear, bear.) He argued strongly in favour of the motion. Alderman KENNEDY'S proposition was then put and unanimously agreed to, and a c nninittee having pre pared the address, it was unanimously and amid loud cheers agreed to. 1, the laws of the United States, and the comity which ought ever to prevail in the intercourse between the two friendly Powers." The undersigned, in reply to this note, expressed to Mr. Buchanan, on the 16th of July, the regret of her Majesty's Government if the law of the United States had been in any way infringed by persons acting with or without au thority from her Majesty's Government ; and ho stated that any such infringement of the law of the United States would be contrary to the wishes and the positive instruc tions of the British Government. The undersigned went on to explain his reasons for be lieving that no person authorised to act for the British Government had violated the law of the United States ; and, in conclusion, he stated that the request of the Pre sident that decisive measures might be taken to put an end to these proceedings had been anticipated by the spon taneous act of her Majesty's Government, who had, a fort night before the receipt of Mr. Buchanan's note, sent out orders to put an end to the arrangement for enlisting within the North American Provinces persona who might come there from other places. Mr. Buchanan, in reply, said, in a note dated the 18th of July, that he should feel much satisfaction in transmitting to his Government the note of the undersigned. So strong appears to have been the impression on the mind of Mr. Buchanan of the satisfactory nature of thin communication, that when afterwards he received a de spatch from Mr. Marcy with renewed instructions to ad dress remonstrances to the British Government on the subject of the recruiting proceedings, he abstained from eating upon those instructions, and withheld Mr. Marcy's despatch containing them from the knowledge of her Ma jesty's Government, obviously because he perceived by its date, July 15, that it was written long before the note of the undersigned of July 16 could have been received by Mr. Marcy, and because he concluded that when that note should have been received the Government of the United States would b© satisfied with its contents. For a con . siderable time this c o n c l us i on appeare d we ll founded. _On Sept. 5, however, Mr. Marcy addressed a note to Mr. Crampton, not alleging that fresh subjects of complaint had arisen since the receipt in America of the British or ders of the 22d June, but going back to the same transac tions to which Mr. Buchanan's note of the 6th of July had adverted, and renewing all his original complaints, as if no notice had been taken of his former representation, as if no regret had been expressed, and as if no measures Lad been adopted to put an instant stop to the proceedings oat of which his complaints had originated. A communication so much at variance with what Mr. Buchanan's note of the 18th of July had led her Majesty's Government to expect might well bo received with some feelings of surprise, inasmuch as they believed that they had given to the Government of the United States every satisfaction which one Government could reasonably ex pect to receive from another in a case of this kind. The undersigned, however, on the 27th Sept., replied to Mr. Marcy's note, answering the allegations renewed in it, and repeating that her Majesty's Government had no reason to believe that any of her Majesty's servants, or any agents duly authorised by them, had disregarded the in junctions to respect and to obey the laws of the United States. Nevertheless the Government of the United States still considered this answer unsatisfactory, and on the 13th of October, Mr. Marcy addressed another despatch on these matters to Mr. Buckanan, which was communicated to the undenigned on the Ist of Nov. Iu that despatch Mr. Marcy renews his general assertions that her Majesty's officers in America had violated the laws o f th e United States ; he refers to his despatch of the 15th July, which Mr. Butoharoal howl e.h4t..ined from: ocantmini,ntin g on the supposition that the note of the undersigned of the 16th July had finally settled the question at issue, and he states that the slid despatch of the 15th of July indicated the satisfaction which the Government of the United States believed it had a right to claim from the Government of Great Britain. despatch of the 15th of 'July, which was not com music sted to the underigneet by Mr. Buchanan till the 2d of November, concludes by saying that " the President is disposed to believe that her Majesty's Government has not countenanced the illegal proceedings of its officers and agents since its attention was first directed to the subject, and will consider it alike due to itself and to the United States to disavow their acts and deal with them in such a manner as their grave offence merits," but that, " as re cruiting for the British army, in the mode alluded to, is still prosecuted (as he believed) within the United States, by officers and agents employed for the purpose, the Pre sident instructs Mr. Buchanan to say to her Majesty's Go vernment that ho expects it will take prompt and effective measures to arrest their proceedings, and to discharge from service those persons now i❑ it who were enlisted within the United States, or who left the United States under contracts made here to enter and serve as soldiers in the British army. This, then, is the satisfaction which, as late as the 13th of October, Mr. Marcy declared was that which the Go ♦ernment of the United States demanded. ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES. The correspondence relating to the conduct of Mr. Crampton, the British Minister at Washing ton, has been laid before Parliament. There is nothing in this large volume that has not already been substantially communicated to the pulelic through the columns of The Sun. We therefore confine ourselves to the reproduction of the last despatch from the Earl of Clarendon, which closes the correspondence : With respect to tho first part of this demand, her Ma jesty's Government deny that any illegal proceedings were, so far as they knew, committed by its officers or autho rised agents, and therefore they have none to disavow, and no officers or agents to deal with as offenders. With regard to the other points specified by Mr. Marcy, the un dersigned on the 16th November, deeming it respectful to the Government of the United States to do so, entered into a detailed, and, as he had hoped, a satisfactory reply to the arguments and statements contained in Mr. Marcy's despatch of the 13th of October. In that reply the under signed stated that the most material point, that of the alleged recruiting, had been already disposed of; for, nearly four months before the date of that despatch the recruiting arrangements and proceedings had been abandoned by orders sent by her Majesty's Government on the 22d June; and that the second part of the satisfaction required it was not in their power to give, because no person had to their knowledge been enlisted within the United States, or left the United States under contract made therein to enter into service in the British army. And he further added that if it could be shown that any men had been so enlisted, they should immediately be discharged and sent back to the United States. No. 81. LIE EARL OF CLARENDON TO MR. DALLAS. Foreign-office, April 30,185 G. _ The undersigned, &c., had the honour to receive, on the 29th of January, from Mr. Buchanan, Envoy Extraordi nary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States at this Court, a copy of a despatch dated the 28th of the pre vious December, addressed to Mr. Buchanan by Mr. Marcy, Secretary of State of the United States, containing observations on a despatch which the undersigned had di rected her Majesty's Minister at Washington to communi cate to Mr. Marcy. Mr. Marcy's despatch was in continua tion of the discussion which had been some time pending between the two Governments, on the subject of the con duct which was alleged by the Government of the United States to have been pursued by certain of her Majesty's officers in giving effect to the intentions of her Majesty's Government to receive into the military service of the Queen auy persons who, coming from any quarter into her Majesty's dominions, might there be willing to engage in that service. The undersigned thus showed that the satisfaction claimed by the Government of the United States had long since been given as far as it was in the nature of things possible to give it, and, in addition to the satisfaction asked for, he expressed the regret of her Majesty's Government if anything had been done by any person, authorised or un authorised, which could be considered an infringement of the law of the United States. The undersigned has hitherto deferred replying to Mr. Marcy's despatch, net only because it was more consistent with the respect which her Majesty's Government enter tain for the United States, thoroughly to inquire into the allegations contained in it, but also because it was just and right towards her Majesty's officers whose conduct was impugned, to put them in possession of the charges brought against them, and to give thorn that opportunity of expla nation and defence which was then for the first time af forded them. It might naturally have been supposed that the corres pondence would here have ended. Regrethad been expressed for any infringement of the law of the United States, if any had taken place, notwithstanding the positive and repeated orders of her Majesty's Government to the contrary. The satisfaction which the Government of the United States, after mature deliberation had demanded, bad either been spontaneously and by anticipation granted, or had been shown to be impracticable because there was no man in the British service whose enlistment, or contract to enlist, had, to the knowledge of her Majesty's Government, taken place in the manner specified by Mr. Marcy in his despatch of the 15th of July, and whose e ischarge, therefore, could form part of the satisfaction indicated by Mr. Marcy. Her Ma jesty's Government, however, expressed their readiness to give that satisfaction alsci, if any case should be established to which it could apply. The undersigned, before he adverts to Mr. Marcy's last despatch, must expre , s his deep regret that the Govern ment of the United States should have deemed it necessary to continue a controversy on a question which Mr. Buch anan considered at the time would be finally settled by the note of the undersigned of July 16, 1855—a note which Mr. Buchanan said ho would transmit with much satisfaction to his Government. The undersigned had, indeed, hoped that that note, together with his subsequent communica tions of the 27th of Sept. to Mr. Buchanan, and of the 16th of Nov., through Mr. Crampton, to the Government of the United States, would have been accepted by a friendly Government such as that of the United States, as a satisfaction for any offence which that Government might have been led by circumstances to think had, though unintentionally, been given. For what has been the course of the transactions which hare given rise to this correspondence ? On the breaking out of the late war between the Western Powers and Russia, the British Government was informed that many persons resident within the United States — some natives of the continent of Europe, and emcee natu ral-born subjects of her Majesty—were desirous of entering into the military service of Great Britain. The British Government, believing the information they had received on this matter to be well founded, took steps to avail themselves of this disposition, and gave directions that any persons presenting themselves within the British North American Provinces, willing to enlist and found fit for service, should be engaged for the British army. But her Majesty's Government gave the most positive orders that in making arrangements for this purpose nothing should be done to infringe in any manner whatsoever the neutra lity laws of the United Altos. It was not doubted that such arrangements might be carried into execution without any violation of those laws, because those laws prohibit enlistments or engagements only within the territories of the United States ; they do not forbid citizens of the United States or residents therein from leaving those territories, nor do they forbid such citizens or other persons from engaging or enlisting in mili tary service elsewhere, when of their own free will and without any previous contract or engagement they may have left those territories. The intentions of the British Government, end the ar rangements made to carry those intentions into execution, were not concealed from the Government of the United States. Those intentions and arrangements were frankly states' by Mr. Crampton to Mr. Marcy in a conversation on the 22d of March, 1855, and the only observations which Mr. Marcy made in reply were, that the n eutrality laws of the United States would b e rigidly enforced u , but that any ber of persons who desired it might leave the - United States, and get enlisted in any foreign service. Up to this point, therefore, there was no misunderstand ing as to the purpose of the British Government, and no difference of opinion as to the legality of the course which that Government intended to pursue. g u t th e grai4l3, GIOTernMOAt 1 509 4 taw; by Acoounta Her Majesty's Government wore, however, disappointed in the confident expectation which they had entertained that this further explanation would prove satisfactory, for on the 29th of January of the present year Mr. Buchanan communicated to the undersigned a despatch from Mr. Marcy, dated the 28th of December preceding, recapitu lating the complaints of the Government of the 'Milted States, and making a demand in the way of s atisfaction different from those which were mentioned in Dlr. Marcy .

The passage is as follows :—" I entirely no ß to ef o o f re approve of your proceedings as reported in your despatch No. 57, of the 12th lt n withrespect to the proposed enlistment in the Queen's service of foreigners and British subjects in the United States." Mr. Marcy assumes, and argues upon the assumption, that the meaning of this passage was, that the enlistments of the persons mentioned, and which were approved of by her Majesty's Government, were to take place within the United States; whereas, the sentence, according to its obvious meaning, relates to foreigners and British subjects resident in the United States. The word " in" has reference to the place where they resided, and not to the place where they were to be enlisted ; and if any doubt could arise on this point that douht must have been removed by the concluding passage, which adverts to the neutrality law of the United States, and says that her Majesty's Government would on no ac " count run any risk of infringing that law.

The reference there mad to British law was merely intended to indicate that if per sons had been enlisted under the circumstances aupposedi such enlistment would have been at variance with British, as well as with American law ; but the undersigned did not mean that respect would not be paid, in the discharge of men, to the rrirciples of the law of the United States alone, should that law appear to have been violated in a single case. In reply to the general statements of Mr. Marcy's de spatch, the undersigned must repeat that hog Majesty's Government gave the most positive orders that no man should be enlisted or engaged within the territory of the United States, and that the neutrality laws of the United States should be strictly and scrupulously respected. But Mr. Marcy now contends that this was not enough, and though in conversation with Mr. Crampton, on the 22d of March, 1855, he said that he could not object to any num ber of persons going to Nova Scotia, to be there enlisted, provided the Neutrality Laws of the United States were not infringed, he now argues that the enlistment in Nova Scotia of persons coming thither from the United States was a violation of the policy of the United States, and that not to respect that policy was an offence on the part of GI eat Britain against the sovereign rights of the United States. Now, in reply to this, the undersigned begs to observe, that the policy of a nation in regard to its internal ar rangements must be sought for in the laws of that nation; and what those laws forbid it must be understood to be the policy of the State to prohibit, and that what those laws do not forbid it must be understood to be the policy of the State to allow. In every State, whatever may be its form of Government, there is a sovereign power that soverei p , wer m a y i mpose upon the subjects or dtizens of such State what duties, obligations, and restrictions it may think tit, and it is a necessary conclusion that when the sovereign power puts a limit to its enactments, whether of oeligation or of prohibition, it means to leav e it s sub jects or citizen s f ree i n regard to all matters not within the onsets:mats of the law. This principle is, indeed, admitted by Mr. Buchanan's note of the 6th of July, wherein he lays it down that the neutral policy of the United States Is •` defined and enforced" in the statute of 1811 Different a untries have different laws in regard to the enlistment of their subjects and citizens in the military and naval service of other States, and these laws vary ac cording to the different policy of these countries with re spect to such matters. In Great Britain the law not only prohibits recruiting or enlisting within th e British dominions for the service of any foreign State, without the permission of the Sove _ reign, but it goes further, and prohibits any subject of her Majesty from so enlisting, even elsewhere, without the royal permission. The policy of Great Britain hence ap. pears to be to prevent British subjects from entering at all into the service of foreign States without the permission of the Crown. The law of the United States appear totes different. Her Majesty's Government understood, and that understanding is confirmed by Mr. Buchanan's note of the 6th of July, that the law of the United States onlyforbids enlistments, ecruiting, and contracts or engagements within the United States, and hiring or retaining persons to quit the United States with intent to be enlisted elsewhere, but it does not forbid citizens of the United States, who may have used their natural right of quitting the United States, to enlist into the' service of a foreign State when they have left their own country. The sovereign power of the United States might, if it had chosen to do so, have followed its citizens with a prohibitory enactment beyond the territory of the United States ; but it has not thought fit to do so, and tho just and inevitable conclusion is that what it might have forbidden, but has not forbidden, it has designedly allowed; that is to say, in other words, that it is the policy of the United States to prevent foreign enlistments within the United States, but that it is not the policy of the Unitel States to forbid the citizens of the United States to enlist, when out of the United States, into the service of foreign states, if they should c h oose t o d o so . Such being the state of this matter, it is obvious that the British Government cannot justly be charged with any disregard of the United States, nor with any disrespect to their sovereign rights, by taking into the Queen's military service any persons who, having come from the United States, freely and without contract or engagement, into a British territory, might there be willing to enlist. The real questions at issue between her Majesty's Go vernment and that of the United States are, whether the British Government ordered or contemplated any violation of the neutrality laws of the United States'; whether, if the British Government did not order or contemplate such violation, thpse laws were nevertheless violated by persons acting with the authority or approbation of the British Government ; and lastly, whether if any violation of the law of the United States did take place, sufficient satisfac tion has been given by the Government of that country. In regard to the first point, the British Government nei ther ordered nor contemplated any violation whatever of the laws of the United States, but, on the contrary, issued the most positive and repeated orders that those laws should not be infringed by any persons acting under their autho rity. In regard to the second point, Mr. Marcy alleges the notwithstanding the orders of the British Government ; , fficers and agents of that Government did within the United States do things which were a violation of the neu trality laws of the United States; and Mr. Marcy specifi cally makes this charge against her Majesty's consuls at Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and New York. With respect to Mr. Crampton the undersigned has to state that Mr. Crampton positively and distinctly denies the charge brought against him ; he declares that he never hired, or retained, or engaged a single person within th. Upheld Mates for the servicevf her . Majesty, and that he never countenanced or encouraged any violation of the law of the United States. The charge brought against Mr. Crampton is mainly founded upon evidence given by Stro bel on the trial of Hertz, and on the so-called confessionof Hertz himself. One of these persons, Strobel, was, in con sequence of his miscondu c t, dism i sse d from e‘ndoyinent by the Lieut.-Governor of Nova Scotia, at Halifax, and afterwards applied to Mr. Crampton, and endeavoured to extort money from him by a threat, which was of course disregarded. The undersigned has the honour to transmit as inclosure to this note documents which sufficiently prove that both Strobel and Hertz aro wholly unworthy of cre dit. It is impossible for her Majesty's Government to set the assertions of such men us these against the declara tion Mr. Crampton, a man of unquestionable honour. The undersigned must, indeed, remark that the whole Troceedine• b in regard to the trial of Hertz was o f suc h a nature that, whilst her Majesty's Minister and horMaiesty'a Consuls might 13?, and indeed were, inculpated by the evi dence of unscrupulous witnesses, that Minister and those consuls had not any means or any opportunity of rebutting the charges which were thus incidentally and indirectly brought against them. With regard to her Majesty's Consuls at Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and New Yerk, they all equally deny the charges which have been brought against them, and they declare that they have in no way whatever infringed the laws of the United States. With respect to Mr. Rowcroft, her Majesty's Consul at Cincinnati, the undersigned has to observe that legal pro ceedings against that gentleman are still pending. As to the origin, character, and nature of those proceedings, the undersigned might have much to say ; but, as they are still pending, ho abstains from doing so. He must, how ever, be permitted to remark that iewould, at all events, be inconsistent with the plcinest principles of justice to assume as estable hed, charges wl ich I re still the subject matter of judicial investigation. The accusation against Mr. Mathew, her Majesty's Con sul at Philadelphia, rests entirely upon assertions made by Hertz. Those assertions aro positively denied by Mr. Mathew; and her Majesty's Government can scarcely be lieve that the Government of the United States, with the knowledge which it will have obtained of the character of Hertz, will hesitate to concur with the Government of her Majesty in giving credit to Mr. Mathew. With respect to Mr. Barclay, her Majesty's Consul at New York, ho declares that he neither favoured the al leged recruiting nor participated in it, nor was informed of the hiring, retaining, for engaging any man for that purpose. Her Majesty's Government cannot but accept the denial of these gentlemen as more worthy of belief than the as sertions and evidence of such men as Hertz and StrobeL But Mr. Marcy considers that the conduct of Mr. Barclay in the affair of the barque Maury ought to be an additional reason why her Majesty's Government should recall him. Upon this the undersigned must observe that Mr. Barclay received information on oath from persons in the service of the United States, leading to the belief that the barque Maury was fitting out with designs hostile to British interests, and at variance with the neutrality laws of the United States. It was Mr. Barclay's bounden duty to communicate that information without delay to her Majesty's Minister at Washington. Mr. Barclay did so, . and his direct action in the matter was then at an end propere 'ght authorities Crampton oft he un submitted ted this States g be right y t o determine what proceedings, h the .Maury to be sufft dered the prima facie case again st part.

The undersigned has now had the satisfaction of com municating to the Government of the United States the statements and declaration of her Majesty's Minister ut Washington, and of her Majesty's Consuls at Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and New York, as to the conduct imputed to them. The Government of the United States had been led to suppose that the law and the sovereign rights of the United States had not been respected by her Majesty's Govern ment, and relying upon evidence deemed to be trustworthy, they believed that that law and those rights had been in fringed by British agents. If such had been the case, the Government of the United States would have been entitled to demand, and her Majesty's Government would not have hesitated to afford, the most ample satisfaction, for no dis credit can attach to the frank admission and complete re paration of an unquestionable wrong.
