Mr. H. J. BAILLIE said, that out of deference to the

which he bad given notice. He had no reas,n, however,
to dampish' of the condott cf the hen. member for

the time bad arrivod when parliament ought to
feel it to be a duty no longer to he silent 011 this
question. Under these circumstances the ease was now be-
fore the hours, and they were bound to glee to it the °oust-
diratios which its importance demanded. It was impossible
to deny that it was a cote in which the honour and character
of the Ratios was involved. Whatever might have been the
*pinions entertained in different quarters with regard to the '
war is which we had lately been engaged, and the
manner in which it was conducted, every one
had been mimed to viadicate the national ho-
nour. That bonour hod now been compromised,
not because our miester had been dismissed from Wash-
ington, but braves the government declared that he had
been dismissed without a cause, that he had committed no
offence, and violated no law. If that was so,:an outraseose
insult had been offered to the people cf this country which
the government had failed to resent. They had been told
that the war in which they Dal been lately engaged wog a
popular war, and • martial spirit had been muted among
the people. If that was true he had a right to ask how it
wee that her Majesty's minister, ware unable to fill up the
ranks of the army, sad to obtain the number of men neces-
sary for carrying on the war; and how it became a tete*
eity to employ agents to seduce the subjects of foreign
state', contrary to the wishes of their goverameau
and the laws of their country, to enter. our military
service. He might state that he (Mr. Biddle) was sot one
of theme who opposed the Foreign Enlistment Bill in that
house. Whatever objeetios he 'Dismissed to that measure
he yet thought it desireble, at thee. mmencement of a war,
to give full aad ample powers to the executive, tied he did
not for a moment suppose that they would have abused
those power'. But he supposed that when a government
brought in a foreign enlistment bill, they had, by
mesas of doe inquiry, ascertained that men would be
allowed to enlist by the government of the countries where
the, foreign legion were to be raised. That had always
Wes customary among European nations. It was en.

and to obtala the nesistanee of the municipal authorities
of that country in raising the men. It was so in Naples and
la Rome, where Swim legions were employed. It had re-
mained for the government of England alone to outrage the
law of foreign nation and to insult them in a manner which
had called forth a rebuke from the United &steep sod it
was fortunate for the people of this country that it bad not
led to more disastrous results. The government had failed
in thole duty in the beginning of the late war in not im-
pressing on the people of this country, that if the war was
to be carried o t with vigour they must he prepared to hear
all the trials and inconveniences which war entailed upon a
eattrs, and it was because the first minister of the crown
Awash from the unpopularity which would have
arisen from the etifotiorment of that principle, that
he was obliged to resent to practices which had
°bewared the glory and lowered the character of
this country. There could be no greater insult to a people
than en attempt by a foreign noton to engage its citizens to
fight a power with which it was friendly. Suppose that
any foreign nation bad dons to this country what we had
dote to Prussia, Switzerland, and the United States—sup-
pose we had been at peace with and friendly to Russia, and
Yellen had carried on the wee against that country alone,
and Francis, not having sailors to man her fleets, tried to
raise them in Booland, and sent agents into our towns to
give bounties to seamen, and sent steamers into one ports
and rivers to carry off seamen—if that dad been done,
would any government la this country have existod for a
day if it bad uct resented such an Walt t Could we then
be surprised at the course pursued by the Foot raiment of
the United States ? ("Divide, divide," and cheers.)
They had been told by a great authority, and
one which was supposed to melee its inspirations
from official sources—he meant the Timm newspaper—that
her Majesty's government were *allied in the course they
took by the languoge used by Mr. Buchanan. That was a
serious charge against the Ameriran minister, and one which
he thought at right publicly and formally to deny. Bat
even supposing teat before the war broke out Mr. Buchanan
bad privately ezpreee, d an opinion that the great mass of
the people of the United States looked with interest on a
caste in which the Western Powers were engaged for the
purpose of resenting aggression against the liberties of
Europe, it might be said that be was mistaken with ro-
ped to the sentiments of his government. But there never
wee any mistake with regent to their sentiments In that re-
eves, for in seven days afts the beginning of that
war with ROMIG, the United State* government
told Mr. Crompton that their merle was one of
neutral y, and Coat they could not allow any breach of
that neutrality by either of the contending perch% Of
what then had the minister of this country la the United
States been guilty 1 It was necessary to have a clear go-
dentandieg upon that subject. Mr. Crampton wee mused
of haviogsanetiosed the employment of agents of the Cans.
dean government to seduce America subjects from their
allegiance, and to induce them to enter the service of Eng-
land. Before he went into that charge, let them have a
clear understanding of the nature of toe offence. There
had been • great confusion of ideas with regard to it. It had
been described by the noble lord at the heal of the goyim•
meat and Lord Clarend. n as an offence against the
municipal law of the United States. Now, whet If
the offence which had been committed was a flagrant offence
against the law of nations, and bad been so bald by the
great writers on international law ? He would advert to
some of them. The A•torney-Gentral had adverted to
Vattel, sad seemed to treat him as net of much authority.
How did Vatt-I describe this office, 1 The hon. goodness
then quoted several passages from Vaud ; Hubner, a Ger-
man writer within the last forty years ; Galion', • Neapo-
litan writer ; and Hottefieulle, a French writer on the
subject, the substitutes and effect of which were that it was
a high offence for one power to attempt to enlist soldien is
the territory of another neutral state, and one which jus-
tified the extremist punishment of the agents em-
ployed for the purpose, and was the cause of war
between the too countries. Harlon quoted the authority of
writers on iaternational law he would proceed to quota the
authority of statesmen, aad first he would quote the opinion
of Mr. Canning. On the 16th of April. 1623, Lord Al.
Cheep moved to introduce a Foreign Enlistment B 11. The
measure was sopported by the noble lord the member for
London, and opposed by Mr Canning,wbo laid great Hesse on
the suiliority or the United States. Mr.Cmningatldthatall
he would call on the boats to do was to adept the same course
which had been pursued by other powers on all occasions.
If he wished for a guide on this subject he would
naturally bolt to the coons adapted by Washington,
when he was Proident, and when Jeff.ries was Secretary
of State of the United States. In 1793 complaints were
made to the government of the United States that the
French were tittles out Is agaicet England in American
ports. The United Stets& government at *nos said that
It wee opposed to the principles of neutrality, end orders
were given that so wool for the French service should be
fitted out ia American waters, sad • vessel which was
fitting oat at New York was seized; and the United Stator
government h. ld that each a Sting out of French vessels in
their ports was opposed to the sovereignty of the state, and
wee calculated to ',Attlee their relati, as with England.
Thole, said Mr. Canning, were the principles which he
would admit es regulating neutrality. Thous were
the sentiments of Mr. Cannier, and he (Mr. Billie)
regretted that they were not upheld by has sue•
moor in office, and lie believed his friend. But
Mr. Cooping went further, for he stated the'. on •
demand being made by the United States government,
the French minister at 'Washington who had been engaged
la these transactions wig recalled by the French govern.
meet. There was one other that be e all quote, and that
was Sir William Soot; who, in moving the third reading
of a Foreign Enlistment Bill, said " that no solecism could
be more itj,irkue than that the auljects o• a state should of
themselves emelt acts of hostility against any other state."
That was directly opposed to the lantrueire used by the noble
lord, who said teat the subjects of the United Staters had a
right to leave their owe country and enter foreign /eyelet—
. " Cities* aeon career" were the words us-c 1 by the noble
lord. There could he so doubt tb.t the spirit of the set of
COO/tree. was to prevent the people cf the United States
leaving their country and mitering into foreign service.
He would now proceed to the charge made by the President
of the United States against the governmentof this country.
In his address to Congress he said, " In the meantime the
matter acquired additioool importune by the recruiting not
being discontieued, but i. conducted and, r the supervision
and by toe co-operation of the Br fish i ffieers." Before he
mitered upon that question he would call the attentien of
the house to a statement made by the noble lord at the head
of the government, to a gelation put to Dino at the begin-
slug of the seselea by the hoe. member for the West Riding,
who's 'bunts be regretted, and the Uw he regretted still
more. (Hear) The nohl. lord stated on th,t occasion
that "it was true that some violatioes of the municipal
law of the United States had taken place, bat
that es soon ea those violations were brought to the
attention of the government they put an end to it; the
reeweitiog way cropped, and a suitable apology out to the
Amorist's government, which was ace, red by the American
minister, who stated that he had no doubt it would be else
accepted by the America* government." Now in making
that statement the noble lord gave reins to his imagisatioa
in stating that a suitable ai °logy had been made to the
governmeetoi the United &ate... No apology bed been
made at all to the principal complaint, which was that the
minister of England had violated the law. The answer of
our scverameat to that was, that the charge was a foal
fahrleaties, got up by perjured witnesses, bet we did not
believe a word of it, and would not recall our minister. It
was perfectly true that on the 30.hJely a despatch was given
by Lord Clarendon to Mr. Buchanan, In which he stated
that if the law of the United States bed been violated be
was way for it, bet be was not aware of it, and it was per-
flatly true that Mr. Butanes at that time was reedy to
mad It to his government with satisfaction, bat be did net
say that his government yodel maim It with satisfaction,

and he was not in the Ires• aware of the charge made agate

Who hid opened an office. in Philadelphie. This wee proved
by two of Mr. Crampton'. letters, written nearly two

bad been directed in one of thole letters to oome over from
Philadelphia to see Mr. Crampton at Washington, where
be bad tome information to give him. Hens was after-
Wanda arrested, tried, and convicted, and he then made a
Moimeloo. He did not mean to quote any portion of
Hertz's evidence that was not confirmed. Hertz In his
aufession said—" I was employed by Mr. Howe, and acted

log acted without any authority from any British agent.
Now, let them see whether Hertz did act without any autho-
rity from any British agent. In page 34 there was a letter
Cram Mr. Matthew, who. said that Hertz had inquired of him
H he had reorder d a letter from his 'zee% ney ; end on 'M-
other occasion Mr. Matthew lent him 60 dollars. Now, this
was clear proot of agency. He was quite ready to admit
that Mr. Crampton hired a single person in the United
States for the purposes of enlistment, and that he told
Hertz not to violate the law. But what was the use of that
Hertz knew that be was expected to obtain recruits, and he
meld not obtain them without violatina the law. The other
agent, Stroebe Lotted a more coospicuoue part. After Byes-
!, I's interview with Mr. Crampton at Washington he OS-
prod the re crultiag tervcs, and suddenly rose to the rank of
attain. He went with a detachment of recruits from
Philadelphia to Relit's, and there he WAS received at the
table of the governor. The vigorous application of the
law of the United States had soon put down this open re.
tritium. Hertz was arrested, the recruiting office wee
doted, and in fact all mumps' openly to recruit in this
United State' failed. On thin, early in May, Mr. Cramptom
set off for Canada. He went to Halite', and it appeared
that the first person he inquired after was Strobel. As is
the case of Hertz, be should only quota to much of Stroehers
',ideate as was confirmed. lu hie evidence at the trial
of Hertz he declared that he submitted to Mr. Crampton'
new plan of operatioos ; that Mr. Cramp'oa approved of it
that all the agents were ',looted, and that Mr. Crumple
drew out written imatinctiote for their guidance. Mr.
Crampton admitted that he gave written iastructions to
Strubel, bat he said be gave them in order to prevent the
violation of a law. It was impos.ible to read them without
being convinced that they were written for the exprem pur-
pose of evading the law of the United States. A guerillas
ague whether Mr. Cramploo was just:fied in this. He gave
those in when he had assured the United States

moral point el' view his conduct we. calculated to loiters the
homer of the nation he represented Similar proceed in sewers

land, Prussia, and the Huss Towns. It was true we bed no
°Heusi information with regard t the conduct of our agents
la those countries, the noble lard at the head of the govern-
ment having, on the ground of pubic policy, Mined to pro-
tium them, but he should refer to the pubitoationa in the
newspapers on the satjec.. The Swiss go reniment refused
te allow the neutrality of their country to be violated, upon
which her Majesty's governm.nt ad d themselves to
the Emperor of Frauce, sod through his means they esti-
bibbed a depot within a few miles of Berne, sad Miliaria.
IMO employed to give information ; and it op-
peered from a statement in the Times that a numb",
at the Swiss soldiers deserted, and colored our aerate.
He new cense to Pnvis. There the law respeeting re-
cruiting was exceedingly revere, amounting to what was
galled in Englund felony. It was perfectly well known that
bar Msjesty's consul at Cologne was arrested upon that
Marge, and tried. Upon his trial he made two pleat; the
Get wee the usual plea of not guilty, and V. second, that
he had been acting under the orders of his government.
Well, he was tried, foord guilty, and sentenced to a long
term of imprisocimeat, but was afterwards pirdoned by the
King of Prussia, because he bed acted under the orders of
his government. With respect to the Hanle Towns, he (Mr.
Hailiie) acme abort time ago asked if there had been any
oserespoodence with the Manse Towns on the subject of the
IMllrmiting question, end the ens ma be got was.
AMU there had been none; so that when our agents were
arrested for awing in sotordance with instraetions from
hems, and ins orisoned, no notice wee to be
token of them. What be wanted, however, to know wad
this—Why wet a different course witted with respect to
Prude', Switserland,and the Hasse Towns,frons that which
wee adopted towaros the United States ? They were told
that es soca as a remonstrance was made by the United

Sta'ea, the recruiting was abandoned and a suitable apology
made; but when a remonstrance came from Prussia, Suit-
zerlaud, and the Hans Towns, no notice whatever with taken
of It. Were they to understand that the policy of Ragland
was to be submissive to a great and powerful state, hat to
treat with cl,eregerd the leaser states; wee that to be the
whey of the Foreign-office. ? No dent it was the policy of
the Foreign-office when it waa under the immediate super•
tatendeece of the noble lord the First Minister. He could
well remember bow bumble and sabmi.siee the noble lord
was to Russia on the occasion of her violating the Treaty
et Vienna ; he could well remember how tamely and quietly
the Roble lord submitted to see vie independence of Cracow
trampled upon ; while, on the other hand, he could equally
well remember how active be was in chemise of the Portugal
elaime. It appeared that the V reign-office was still animated
by the same ancient spirit, bat, depend upon it, no policy
could be better calculated to render the name of England
odious and despised throughout civilised orations. (Hear,
bear) There were two questions involved in this dispute:
first, dad theta been any neeesail to resort to the employ-
ment of foreigners ; and secondly, it such a neermity had
arises, were the gi,v•rnment justified in resertiag to
the course they bad done. Now, with r‘speet to the
first of theme propositions, they knew that in 1813 Ragland
maintained a much larger army in • stets of efficiency than
was voted by parliament during Vie lest session; at that
time the population was 16 000.000, whereas now it war
28,000 000. In time of war the only means of recruiting the
army efficiently Will by keeping up a vend militia force ; in
1813 the embodied militia numbered 93 298 ; during the late
war it never amounted to mo-o than 40,000 or 50,000, and it
was quite c ear the vo:untary system or araiirtment bad en-
tirely failed in obtaining men of proper age and strength
for active service. At the commerci meat of the pre-
seat year the regular army was between 40,000
and 60,000 below the number voted by parlia-
meat, and be believed there wee ,c.rcely a man
throughout the country who did rot feel mortified at the
manner in which the late war was conducted. It eight to
hats been the rosinoprion of the government to meintain
the army up to its fell streegth, and In a state of rborotigh
efficiency ; but instead of dog that they bad preferred to
lavish a probes. expenditure of money on foreign troops, so
that oar much boasted army of the Eset had been mainly
amapesed of Germano, Sims, Poles, Sard.nians, and Turks.
It might be said this was all the result of our free system of
severunient and our free institutions v .nich did nor allow of
a conscription. Those who nasal that lengusge, however.
should remember that +sr could not be succe,sfolly carried
en without a liberal eaproditure of national blood
well as • liberal espoodi•ure of national trea-
sure ; and if the people of England once sabraitted
to say such argument they would have to sae their country
hlwered from its station amongst the highest nations of the
world to that of • recond-rate state. The position of Eng-
laad had been altogether changed by the great invention of
steam power, v d entre ilia government end the people
were prepared to adopt more effi-ient means of national
defence than any carried out during the late war, they must
be content to give up all hope in the future history of their
egentry. (Hese, hear )
