Lord Clarendon last night laid upon the table of
the House of Lords the entire correspondence upon
the American question. The Foreign Secretary's
closing despatch of the "30th April, 1856," is the
most important feature. Lord Clarendon reviews
the whole question at length, and narrows tl.e
points at issue between the Governments to three,
viz.,—Did her Majesty's Government order or con-
template any violation of the neutrality laws of
the United States in their desire to enlist men ;
were those laws ever violated by British agents ;
and, lastly, if any violation took place, had sufficient
satisfaction been given ? On the first point Lord
Clarendon offers the most positive denial ; on the
second he states that Mr. Crampton, Mr. Rowcroft,
Mr. Mathew, and Mr. Barclay unanimously deny
that they ever violated the law, and refuses to accept
the charges of such persons as Hertz and Srrc-
bel against men of unquestioned honour. With
respect to the last point Lord Clarendon refers to
the offers of satisfaction and explanation already
given by her Majesty's Government, and concludes :
"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 respecrid ny her
Majesty's Government, and relying dpon evidence
deemed to be trustworthy, they believed that that
law and those rights had been infringed by British
agents. If such had been the case, the Government
of the United States would have been entitled to Ce-
mend, and her Majesty's Government would not have
hesitated to afford, the most ample satisfaction, for no
discredit can attach to the frank admission and com-
plete reparation of an unquestionable wrong. Her Ma-
jesty's Government, however, unequivocally disclaim
any intention either to infringe the law, or to disregard
the policy, or not to respect the sovereign rights of
the United States, and the Government of the United
States will now, for the first time, learn that her
Majesty's Minister at Washington, and her Majesty's
Consuls at New York, Philadelphia, and Cincinnati,
solemnly affirm that they have not committed any of
the acts that have been imputed to them."
