The SPEAKER having read the address,
Mr. DISRAELI roes and said—Sir, the intimation con-
veyed in the speech of the Lords Commissioners, loth with
respect to our foreign relations and to our domestic con-
datum, must, I feel, be aidiafactory to the house. Though
no one can be blind to the fact that the general condition of
affairs is one pregnant with anxiety—hut, I hope, nut appre-
hension—yet. under the favour of Divine Providence and
with the exercise of vigilance and moderation in our coun-
cils, let us trust that all these trials will be surmounted.
Slurs the house was prorogued the march of events
iu North America has been niomentous. Nothing,
however. has occurred, so far as my opinion to
concerned, which has for a moment shaken my
' conviction of the wisdom of the policy that was adopted
oristitial!y by her Majesty's government--(hear, heart—the
policy of neutrulity—(cheers)—atid 1 feel Wund to take the
earliest opportunity of expressing my belief that that policy
on the part of her Majesty's government was sincerely
adopted, and has been sincerely practised. (Cheers.) Very
reccutly indeed an event occurred, which for a moment
seemed to endanger the practice of that policy. The con.
duet of the government with respect to the matter of the
Trent, was the conduct which 1 trust any man responsible
for the government of this country would have followed—
(hear)—but that it was followed on their part with tiros-
uses and moderation, I fairly and cheerfully admit. (Neer.)
On the other hand, I am hound to ray that the reparation
offered to us appears to me to have been certeinly in-
, tluenced by sentiments am worthy. (Hear, hear.) I am
not prepared to peer and pry into any possible motives tin.

I men. When I consider the great difficulties which the
statesmen of North America have had to encounter—when
I consoler what I may call the awful emergency which they
have been igummoned suddenly to meet, and which, without
, giving an opinion upon the causes of public transaetiona,
I would strew. my opinion they have met MM.

! Englaml in &shag with the government of the
United States to soloed to all which they may say at least
a generous interpretation—(hear, hear)—and to all that
which they may do • liberal construction. (Hear, bear.)
I have fairland freckly expressed my own feelings upon
this point. but at the same time I think we have a right to
expert from the government of the United States that they
should take no adverse view of the conduct of the govern-
ment of this country. In an affair of inteettee dimmers, a
neutral power meet contemplate a term to these &seeders.
Whether that term—whether that cooclusioo—would be SO-
