LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 24.

THE unofficial speakers who addressed the two
Houses of Parliament last night on the subject of
our relations with America may be divided into
three classes—those who are patriotically anxious

to maintain the honour and dignity of England
against encroachments—those who to this desire
add a wish to damage the character of Lord
Paraszesron's Government—and lastly, them
who want to exacerbate still further the feelings
of the public and kindle the flames of war. As
was to be expected, the moderation and the reason-
ableness of the language of these various parties
was proportionate to the fairness and elevation of
their views. The representatives of the public
interest were earnest, explicit, brief, and measured.
The party speeches were violent and exaggerated,
and the war speech, for there was only one, was--
worthy of its author.
After the statements made by Lord Paranotsron
and Sir ROT;NDELL PALMER last night, the ques-
tion of the maintenance of our rights, in so far as
they are affected by the recent action of the naval
officers of the United States in the West Indian
waters, becomes one of confidence in the Govern-
ment. Lord PALMERSTON stated that the matters
brought under the notice of the House by Mr. Rol,
anon and Mr. BENTINCE, matters recognised as of
the gravest public importance, were under the serious
consideration of the Cabinet. What is the Go-
vernment considering! Whether it shall maintain
the honour and rights of the country or succumb
to violence and insult f Whether we shall pre-
sume to claim the old freedom of the sees, or
carry on our commerce under the sufferance of a
foreign power 1 That is what orators and states-
men of the mark of Lord ROBERT Cam, Mr. Ben-
Timm, and Lord CLLEIIICARDZ do not hesitate to
suggest. But they will not persuade the country
that the Government is deliberating upon any such
questions. As the Someiroa-Gezrzeat reminded
the Roues of Commons, the principles on which
her Manerr's Government will be prepared to
act when the time for action has come are
open and declared. There can be no discussion
about them, no dissensions in the Cabinet.
What then are they waiting for! Waiting, as Sir
ROUNDILL PALMEJ, stated, for the completion
of the evidence on both sides. This seems
to some minds a very unnecessary waste of
time. An ex parte statement, they appear to
think, is a quite sufficient foundation for demands,
from which, once made, we cannot withdraw with-
out loss of dignity. But happily, such is the
character and temper of our public men, this is a
course which no conceivable English ministry would
adopt, a course whichthe Earlof Dime: andthe Earl
of bLuarnsarav would repudiatessearnestly as Lord
PALM:ELSTON and Earl RI3BBELL. The explanations
which the SECZETABY of STATE for FORZIOR
Arians gave last night, and which should be read
by every one who cares to know what is the pre-
sent attitude of our Government, show that her
Thai-wren Ministers are neither losing time nor
lowering the flag of the country. The Government
has been reproached for not taking up sooner the
CNN of the Dolphin. But it appears that as soon as
the facts of the seizure of that vessel were received,
they were referred to the law officers of the Crown.
The opinion of these learned persons was reported
to the Government yesterday, and as it shows that
we have a right to complain, the very next mail
will carry out a demand for reparation. Should
the United States Government refuse reparation
for the wrongful acts of its officers, the case would
no doubt be serious, but it would also be plain, and
there would be no occasion forlong deliberations.
But to aroma beforehand that, upon reparation
being asked, that reparation will not be granted
by the United States, although it is a course

strongly recommended by the heedless, is what no
Government worthy of its responsibilities will do.

LOAD PALMBINION dosortwoo to be congratulated
on the acceptance of a subordinate post in his
Administration by a man of Mr. tiranerato's cha-
racter and capacity. It is not only that, within
four short years of public life, as • "young
" member" sitting below the gangway, and hold-
ing what timeservers call extreme opinions, Mr.
firawsrm.n has taken a high degree as a,
parliamentary speaker, and won the at.
teative sympathy of the most difficult of
audiences, at a time most unpropitious to
ardent faith and sincere convictions. This is
something; but it is much more to say that Lord
PaLmsaarow has secured the services of one who
in undertaking official responsibilities abandons no
pledge to his party or his cause, and confers a
benefit upon his country. Mr. STA/WELD, we are
persuaded, will be able to assure his constituents
at Halifax that he is the very man they elected
four years ago. Independent Liberalism in England
baa never meant that sort of political asceticism
which condemns a man of faith to be an
