The Bri tish Government had thought it necessary to raise foreign troops, but they had resorted to no new method—they ha i thought that they might invite the services of men whose sympathies were favourable to this country. He (Sir G. Grey) thought that the Foreign Enlistment. Act had been for:fide:l on sound policy, and therefore it.berraine the duty of the Government to carry into effect the intention with which That act had beau passed. Tue hon. • member for Mayo said that the first step was taken by the despatch of the Colonial Secretary to Sir G. Le Merchant in July, 1855. The first step wits that many persons in the United States, British subjects, German and Schleswig-Hol steieers' had tendered th e i r serv i ces t o th e B r i t i sh Govern* meut. Under these circumstances, did the hon. gentle man say that the Colonial Secretary was not justified in Writing that despnch ? The .Government was anxious that nothing should be done to violate either the sovereign rights or the municipal, laws of the U ni t e d States. The Gov ernmen t ac t ed iu that spirit, and believ ing that these British officers had acted in the same spirit, it would have been base on their part to have recalled these men when they had only acted acccordiug to the letter and spirit of the instructions which they hadreceived. Mr. Crampton communicated to the Government of the United States the offers made by persons resident there to take service in her Majesty's army, and he also:comuthi• sated those facts to Mr. Marcy. Mr. Crampton made no mce%lment whatever of the offers which were made, and if he did not enter minutely into all the arrangements, he was impressed with the conviction that the United States were not anxious minutely to inquirointo what was going on. That was the spirit in which Mr. Crampton acted, and when criticisms wore .made on single passaged in the de spatches, or in the' fact of that gentleman having been in communication with persons whose character was of a most disreputable kind, they should not overlook the generous spirit exhibited by the Earl of Clarendon, and the gene rous spirit in which Mr. Crampton acted throughout the whole of these transactions. There were parsons in the United States, who professed t o ac t upon th e aut h or i ty which they had received farm her Majesty's Government, or from Mr. Crampton—who were doing acts tending to interfere with the amicable relations of the two orations, and who it was impossible strictly to defend; and it was on these grounds that her Majesty's tloverninent avowed their determination to put an end altogheher to this scheme for enlisting troops. It had b een d en i e d t h at any aro;ogy, was offered by the Government when these facts came to their knowledge. What were the facts of the case ? The apology, which was said to be no apology, was one which Oil, indeed, say that nothi ng ho b een d one by p ersons acting under the authority atter Majesty's Government to give any just cause of complaint to the United States, but it expressed our regret that theirlaws, if infringed, should have been infringed by persons without any authority, and stated that such infriegemeut was entirely contrary to the wishes and the positive instructions of her Majesty's Government. It was of course impossible to ad mitin that apology that things had been done contrary to the laws of the United States because nothibg was proved- ' but they admitted the fact mi g ht h ave b een so, and if so they deeply regretted it. (Hear.) . The apology concluded by setting forth that her Majesty's Government, having reason to tuink that no prec au ti onary measures %mild effectually guard against an iufringemeut of the law, were determined that all proceedings fur the enlistment of recruits should be put au end to, and instructions for that purpose were sent out before her Majesty's Government had the honour of receiving Mr. Buchanan's note. A good deal had been said as to the etrat of that despatch upon Mr. Buchanan ; but' what were the facts of the case? Mr. Buchanan, to whom it was addressed, certainly made a very short answealor he did not enter into any argument to show that the course pursued gave no satisfaction to the United States, but he said he would have much satisfaction in transmitting a copy of the Earl of Clarendon's note to the American Se cretary of State. Mr. Buchanan was evidently satisfied with the explanations giveh by her Majesty's Government, and in the decision they had come to to abandon their pro ceedings. • (Hear.) A despatch, written in *ignorance of the despatch of Mr. Buchanan, by Mr. Marcy, insisting on :certain terius of Satisfaction, it was not thought necessary by the former gentleman to transmit to the Earl of Clarendon, because he felt that the despatch sent by-the British goveruu3ast, of the 16th of July, was likely to terminate the whole affair by showing the spirit in which the English Government had received the reinoustranceis of the United States. (Hear.) He thought the passages to which he had referred clearly showed that the impres sion on Mr. Buchanau's mind was that the despatch ie question ought to terminate the whole matter, and he concurred with her Majesty's Government that the conci liatory course they had adopted, cut of deference to the feelings of the United States, would be entirely satisfac tory to the latter Government. (Hear, hear.) He thought the house would consider that the course pursued by the Government showed at earnest desire to do nothing which would be at all likely to place them in the wrong, in case these affairs should unfortunately not be brought to a sa tisfactory conclusion. The hou. gentleman said that the -evidence given at the trial showed that Mr. Crampton had been in communication with Strobel and Hertz. •No doubt he bad been, but in total i gnorance o f th e i r cha racter, which was also wholly unknown to her Majesty's Government, and he (Sir G. Grey) did not think that the house could condemn the Government because, in pursuit of a legitimate object, they had employed those men, and that the house would allow the evidence of men of such infamous character as these were proved to be—denied, as it was, by Mr. Crampton and the consuls—to have any influence upon the decision of the house. The hon. mem ber for Stamford, from one of the despatches of the Earl of Clarendon which he had read to ,the house, assumed II that the Earl of Clarendon asserted abet the British Go vernnsent insisted upon the right of both enlisting and at testing recruits on the United States territory, to serve iu the British. army. But that despatch did not hear that in terpretation ; for the Earl of Clarendon was there only an swering a charge of Mr. Marcy's and showing that it was impossible, by the law of E 'gland, that, having regard to the terms of the demandsof Mr. Marcy, any person could have been so enlisted ; but the Earl of Clarendon further added that if any one had been enlisted contrary to the law of the United States he would send him back u,gain to Am er i ca . He (Sir G. Grey) did n o t b e li eve tha t any one had been so enlisted, and the demand wastherefm eitupossibfeto comply with. He urged the house to be guided in their opinions by the general character of the corresphndence and pro. ceedings, and to say whether they were satisfied that the Government had not, in all respects, in what they had ddhe, regarded the municipal law of the United States—a law which even the American Government itself now confessed the Goverhment of Great Britain had not infringel. Were 1 the house prepared to condemn the Government becausewheu they thought there might be ground for a shadow of corn plaint if they persist eel in the course they bad adopted with reference to enlistnent, they stopped, at groat disadvantages to themselves, all further 'proceeeings iu the United States, and because they hail not thought right, upon the dismi ssa l of the British Minister, to retaliate by the dismissal of Mr. Dallas, against whom this country had no complaint, and through whom the American Government was ready to continue negotiation upon pressing matters of great im portance? He was sure that the house and the country, upon a full consideration of all the circunrstancee of the, case, would come to the conclusion that the Government, in the measures it had adopted, had consulted the honour, the dignity, and the interests of the nation at large, (Hear.) air F. THESIGER explained that ho bad not complained of the Government for not retaliating upon the American .Government by seri ting back Mr. Dallas,-but that what be had complained of was that the Government had placed the country in such a position as to compel it to submit to the indignity which, had been offered to it. Sir J. WALSH moved the a journment of the debate. Lord PALMERSTON expressed a hope that the - debate would be brought to a close that evenitig. The' house then divided, when there appeared— For the adjournment of the debate Against it 220 Majority for the Government The announcement of the numbers was received with loud cheering. Sir J. WALSH then rose to speak upon ' the original motion. He thought the exultation of hon. members was misplaced. The opinions of many. of the leading members of the house had not yet been ascertained. The noble lord at the head of the Government had not yet addressed the house, and 12 o'clock was rather a late hour, under such circumstances, to proceed with a debate on so important a subject. He bad no political sympathies with the hon. gentleman who brought forward this motion. He felt that the honour of the country had been placed in a delicate position—(a laugh)—the question before the house really being whether the Government had sustained our nationa? dignity,. and whether it had not received detriment al their hands. It appeared to him that the American Go vernment might have written and asked her Majesty's Go vernments to recall their Minister; bat, 'unless 'based upon ettfficient'grounds, the dismissal must have been an offen sive one, either towards the-Minister or towards the na tion which he represented. The Government had acquiesced in this proceeding of the American Government by not dismissing Mr. Dallas ; bat he was not prepared to say -that they were not right inthat course. Their - justifica- Cori for not dismissing him was, however, that they w ere in the wrorg, and that was the only defehce they could make. (Hear.) The complaint of the President was that there had beau a systematic evasion of the United States law, and that her Majesty's Government had not acted in th it spirit which one friendly Governinent ought to act towards another. He felt himself forced to:vote for the motion of the heti. member for Mayo, because he consi• dered that this country had, in some respects, been Mimi. Hated. If Mr. Dallas had been disrais , ed, the house could' not have interfered with the dispute, but as the Govern. ment had not dismissed him they acknowledged they were in the wrong, and therefore ha should vote for the motion. Mr. M. GIBSON then moved that the debate be ad journed. Lord PALMERSTON said if these motions for adjourn ment were repeated ut that time of night (half-past :2 o'clock) the result was clear that a the debate must be ad jourbed. The debate was then adjourned till 6 o'clock to-morrow (this lay), and the motion that the Speaker leave the chair was withdrawn. t) f POP' , " r 7 • THE SUN; LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING; --JULY 1,185 F closures implicate you in these proceedings, The inform , . tion in his possession does not allow him to doubt that your eel, as well as the Lieutenant-General of Nova Scotia,'and severe' civil and military officers of the British Government, were instrameutal in setting on foot this s.dienie of en'ista merit, and made Aber.' provision for funds to be used as in ducements far persons residing therein to leave the country for the purpos., otenlisting in the British military service'. And, in rele7ence to the demand which had been made, he aays : The object of this note is to ascertain how far the acts 'of known and acknowledged agents of the British Government, done within the United States, in carrying out this scheme ta:recrniting for the British array, have been authorised or sanctioned by her Majesty's Government. That was a clear and cat egor i ca l d eman d w hi c h deserved an unequivocal answer, and it was much to be regretted that . Lord Clarendon, so far from displaying the courtesy due to the United states Government, should have written the letter of the 29th of September, in which he makes Most offensive remarks on that Government, and reflects on them by insinuating that they themselves had been guilty of a breach of the international law. He says : . Her Majesty's Government feel confident that even the extraordinary measures which have been adopted in various parts of the Union to obtain evidence against her Majesty's servants or their agents by practices sometimes resorted to under despotic in- titutions, but which are disdained by all free and enlightened governments, will fail to establish any well founded,charge against her Majesty's servants. The British Government is fully aware of the obligations of inter-, national duties, and is no l ess m i n df u l of those obligations than is the government of the United States. The observance e those obligations ought undoubtedly to be reciprocal, and her Majesty's Government do not impute to the Government of the United States that while claiming an observance of those obligations by Great Britain they are lax in enforcing a respect for those obligations within the Union. This passage was not less offensive, because it conveyed an insinuation instead of a direct charge, and it was much to be regretted that Lord Clarendon should have so far for gotten himself as to write a letterof that description in an swer to the just demand of the American Government ; and it was that letter which produced' all the irritation and ill feeling which ultimately led to the course so deeply to be regretted. In . answer to it Itt. Marcy wrote the' despatch of the 13th of October. After repelling the ha putatim contained in Lord Clarendon's letter, he says :s- . The President would fail in due respect for the national -charcter of the United States, and in his duty to. maintain it, if he did not decline to accept as a satisfaction for the wrongs complained of, Lord Clarendon's assurance that these official were enjoined a strict observance of our laws,. and that he. 'does not believe that any of them have disregarded the in junction.` This government believes, and'has abundant proof to warrant its belief, that her Britannic Majesty's officers and agents have transgressed our lawn and disregarded our rights, and that its solemn duty, requires that it Should.vinslk cate bah by insisting upon a proper satisfaction. The Pre sident indulges the hope that this demand for redress will be : deemed reasonable' and be acceded to by her Britannic Ma- . jesty's Government. This government has 'indicated the satisfaction which it believes it has a rig -t to claim from the British Government in my despatch to you of the 15th of July last. That despatch was not delivered to Lord Clarendon until the 2.1 of November, and he bas since asserted that Mi.- Buchanan withheld it because he considered that the de spatch of the 11th of July was a perfeetly satisfactory set tlement of the dispute. A controversy arose on this subject in consequence of the statement made in that house by the noble lord at the head of the Government. Much corre spondence took place, but it was immaterial to the main question before them. The original demands of the Ame rican Governme n t were muc h less than they afterwards became. On the 15th of July Mr. Marcy wrote to Mr. Buchanan : The President instructs you to say to her Majesty's Govern ment that he expects it will take prompt and effective mea sures to arrest their proceedings, and to discharge from service those persons now in it who were enlisted within the United States,. or who left the United States under Contracts made here to enter and serve as soldiers iu the British army. Lord Clarendon says that before this letter was received orders had been sent out to stop all recruiting; but in his letter of the 16th November he justifies his whole pro ceedings, and contends that he had a right to do everything he has done. He says : It. appears to her Majesty's Government. that, provided only that no actual " recruiting" (that is, enlisting or hiring) takes place within the United 'States, British officers who, within the United States' terrii . ,ories, might point out the routes which intending recruits 'should follow, or explain to them the terms upon whichthey would be accepted, or pub lish and proclaim such terms, or even defray their travelling expenses, or do Similar acts, could not be justly charged with violating such sovereign territorial rights. The despatch concludes in a mos':, extraordinary manner : It only remains for me to state that no enlistment in the British service is valid without attestation,. and that accord ing to British law a recruit cannot'bo attested in a foreign country, nor even in the British colonies, without a specially delegated authority far that. purpose. No binding contract could, therefore, be made with any, man within the United States ; promises might be so made, but any money given to men to enable them to repair to places beyond the United 'States' territory for the . purpose of being •enlisted ! would be advanced at a risk. Nevertheless, if it can be shiewn that there are persons now in the foreign legion'who have been en listed or hirod'in violation of the United States' law, as well as of the Britikh law, her Majesty's Government will be pre pared to offer them their discharge, and to give them a' free passage back to the United States, -if they choose to return thither. - . Lit the house observe Lord Clarendon's view of what this country had a' right to do in the United States!--a right which he deliberately maintained. ' Mr, Marcy might very well say : " Although you hive put a stop to recruiting, you have laid down a principle, which you reserve for future occasions, which we must deal with." Lord Claren don says there can be no enlistment without attestation; and na attestation can take place in a foreign country, ' but we are ready to discharge any persons you can show to have been enlisted in violation of the United States law bnt according to it, no person could be enlisted in the Unified States even if he wished to be, and it was, there fore, perfectly illusory of him to make the offer in satisfac •tion of the demand of the American Government. It was' ' only just, - however, 'to Lord Clarend on , that nhis de spatch to Mr. Dallas he co m pl a i ne d t h at h e had been mis underritood. ' He says : • . The reference 'made to British law • was merely iitended to indicate that if persons had been enlisted under tide' cireuna stancea_eripposed, such .enlistment would have been at vari ance with British as well as with American law; but the un dersigned did 'pot mean that reapect.Would not lee paid, in the disch ar g e o f men, to t h e , principles at the tiw of the United States :dime; should that law app ear to !lave been violated in a single case. He (Sir F. Thesiger) put it to the house whetherl anythiug could be more illusory than this course, when tOae United States made a d e m an d f or satisfaction ; or couldi anything be more natural than that, when• their demata for ex . trewely moderate satisfaction was 'refuse,, ,thly should. rise iu their demands far above what we considiTed suffi cient in the letter of December, Wei.? ; The American Go vernment, in the course of 'proceedings. loured tieemselves coinpelled,to demand the.withdraw a l of ilr. Crainpton, as stated in the Juno despatch.. - He (Sir F.

Lord Clarendon, howeier, hid still, an opportunity of. preventing the last indignity pe t on this country. .He might have admitted. that his. le fusal way not justified, and have withdrawn tine miniet , r and re moved the consuls, at the same time, if ho boll ved them to have been faithful servants, giving them' e layme n t elsewhere.. Uitfortunatelyhe adopted .a differe it course. In his despatch of the 30th he says : . . . That Mr.: Cmmpton positively and distinctly (levies the charge brlinglit against him ; he declares that he n, veraiired, or retained, or engaged a single person wi hiu • e United: States 'for the service of her Majesty, and that he ver cone teuariced or encouraged any violation of the law of t e United States. . He cannot but express the earnest h Pe of her Majesty's Government that these explanations and ssurances ' may prove satisfactory to the Government of e United States, and remove any misapprehen ion which may have hitherto existed. The house Weald observe that Lord Clarendon distinctly raw gnind and sanctioned every act of Mr. Craupton, and dad i.r..3d none of his acts were illegal ; and at tine time he Wrote this despatch he was fully informed of tile particu lars of these acts, for he had all the correspindence of February and March, 1855, between Mr. Crauepton and his agents before him: In the Month of May die ,was re ported to hate said, "That her Ms jestre Government had hesitated in dealing 'with an agent who 'could nave so far forgotten hia duty and violated hie instructions as to have violated the law pf the 'United' States, but t o b row o v er and censure their agents when' they were Con t inced they had done nothing of the kind w ou ld b e shable and dia.' sli i honourable." On'the 27th of May the Americau Govern- Men& wrote :- .

The ground of. cotnlint, so far as respeete,her Majesty's Go vernmen t, i s th us re coved But the President extremely regrets the, he cannot condur in Lord Clarenden'e favourable opinion of the conduct of some of hei• Majesty's officers who were, as this Government believed, and, after due consideration of. all which has been offered in their defence, still believes, implicated in proceedings which were so clearly an infringement of the laws and sovereign rights of this country. Lord Claroni on knew perfectly well that these Officers hid acted with.tisie sanction of their Government from begin ning to end. Iu the month of May he considered it would be shabby am l dishonourable to sacrifice them,:yet he al lowed the Aril erican GOvernment to remove them without a renionstrauci 3. The manly, straightforward, and honour ablo course re r him to have adopted was to I have said, "These ngentq have but faithfri/ly discharged their duty ; they have mst.disobeyect instructions. Do not visit it upon them ; for whatever has happened the Goiernment is re sponsible, nr visit it on them." But what did Lord Cla rendon say; He (Sir F. - Thesiger) would zeal his answer. Fle says : " Her Aiaj esty's Government retain the high opinion which they have eV zr held of the zeal, ability, and integrity 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 can , not but belie ee that on many material points iu respect to his conduct the ~ President has been misled by erroneous informa tion, and by he testimony of witnesses undeserving of belief. But in the re, lent case her Majoity!s Government are bound to accept the fo rural and repeated declarations of the Presi dent of his bclie; k ' that these officers of her Majesty have vie laced the laws o the Union, and are ,ou that account unac ceptable organs f communication with the Government and authorities of the United States; and her Majesty's Govern. ment cannot •deny' to the Government of the United States a right similar to t hat which, in a parallel case, they would claim Air themsel 'eli—the right, namely, of forming their own ! judgment as to th ". bearing of the laws of the Union upon transactions which have taken place within the Union." .What was this bu tto sacrifice these gentlemen ? • Lord Cla rendon himself h. id fitly characterised, su,h conduct, and that in terms whi ch he (Sir _V. Thesiger) would be loth to use. He was not in the slightest degree apprehensive that this diseussion w( rcilrl produce any irritation or keep alive * mill-feelingin th. A. moriean Government. On the contrary the people of the !eel States will learn that the Hguse of• Commons do not n on cur in the principles put forward by Lord Clarendon, am 1 the.effect of this discussion will be to tranquillise the , a i l nds of the people; and so far from being detrimental to 1,1 ce interests of this country cannot out be productive of the best results.
