The ATTORNEY-GENERAL awl, in rderenee to the
answeenot for the settlement of the one of the Birken-
head stna-rams, that in the Ink intense as offer was
made by the "oversewn so purchase the weeds trent the
alleged °wools which was deelised. Bakesqueetly they
were seised, and no offer of purchase wee afterwards made
by the goversment, but more Was one elk/ lo sell thin

whisk reedend it impossible that the sale should lake

the purchase took pleas. It was not from a
doubt as to the application of the Foreign En-
listment Act to these vessels that the government was
influenced is this step, but the Unweaned were the cusses
of the swels might have acted on an errs:mow' but boost
belief that they were not e stringing the law ; aod the
soltgige
being such es to be of vane to the nation, it wee t
• satisfactory and complete stale of preventing their beteg
employed is the service of belligneeta. No claim for awe-
pennies for the seizure could be made under the taus of
the arrangement. He did sot Wink it would be necessary
to legislate further as the principle of the Fords' Enliat-
meat Act, but the government was determined to maintain
at all times the provisions of the law. The pries to be
paid for the ships when completed would be Ekl,oool.

in • wintry it ins his duty to maim to the kw
of that corntry, or if he did not it imams wilds
the pewee of the government to remove him if they
thought proper. There was • time when we bed an ARP
Ad, sad we could remove pumas from this esentry if they
violated that law. These were makkoi kw ; Wok /ha-
lation Paned certain penalties, and we midi sot mil epos
a government to maintain preens in ask treettery who did
violas these. When Mr. Home was WWI igen by the
Roman government togiveaertala explanations with regard
to • work he bad published and mink 110111011•1911 be was
apposed to hold with what they believed to to by no means
• good spirit—flanghter)—thei British mesa at Rime im-
mediately communicated with the Reme arnborities, and
did all be meld for him, but the authorities were positive

to remain • little lower, but they changed

therefore, requested Mr. Home to depart theme with his

studio In Rome, sad he had bees obliged to relisipish his
shako there. The Euglilt government bad made sack
ass-
mossin as they were *tiled is rmig, these remon-
strances had bees unarniling, sad he was afraid they could
do sothieg moss.
Mr. HENNESSY remioded the hon. and Liaised gentle•
man of the very stringent leers of this canary spirt
witchcaft. He believed Mr. Home took large fees
for his apses [Mr. Itozsoce—" Never., Well, sup-

or visited Rome every year, sad nothing could speed the

government. This was the only complaint that bad ever
been made mutest them by • British subject, and he me
glad to hear that it had no foundation.
Hr. SCULLY thought the hoe. and learned member had
miecouceived his course in bringing a complaint spinet the
Roman government, the only gentlemen who were to blame
being the spirits who were in the habit of calling a Mr.
Home. (A laugh.) He complained of the disrespectful
way in which the hat cad learned gentleman had spokes of
the heed of the Roman thumb, and asked what soak] be
thought of anybody who spoke of the heed of the Milli
church, or the noble lord at the biacl of her Majesty's govern-
ment, in • 'MAU: way? They lad been all the
occupied with thirita—(laughter)— but be hoped the:7M
