SPEECI OF LORD NAPIER AT NEW
PORE.

At the umnal dinner of the St. George's Society
of New Yoh, which bos joat been held, Lord NAM'', who
was presentm a guest, responded as follows to the toast of
"liar Idnieity's minieters and repsestatatives on this con•
tinent" :

"Gentlernn,—l beg to offer you my very sincere end
cordial Mania for the honour which you have dons ma in
amociotiog oy mane with the tout and with the health of
' Her Mejeatt's Ministers.' Her Majesty's ministers will ho
highly gratifld when they learn that then names and their
acme us hid in such esteem, regard, sad memory by their
fdlow-countnnign residing in the United States. I, myself,
gentlemen, Moo own personal capacity, am sensible that
I em endowing of the malamatione which you have
deigned to below upon my name; but I see in the manner
is which yea have received it a warm revulsion of those
feelings of wyseuhy and regard which may be suspended or
obscured for • line, and by accident, between America and
England, but which are over deeply founded on the Odin-,
lions and the ittereeta of the two countries. (Loud cheers.)
The office whih I have the happiness to fill, and in which
you have done roe the honour to wish me well, is one which
bee been &mai, to my hopes and wishes from a very early
period of my lie and services. I may still maintain that
there is not a tore grateful, • more glorious, or a more
wand enlidormot than this employment, which I share
with my veteran friend, the United States' Minnie, in
loaden--the emloyment of holding aloft the amigos or
peace and frier sip between the two great branches
of the English ram (Loud ann.) I feel that I entered
upon that employment here at a most ansideloua period. I
can swore you (lot I have met, upon the part of the Pisa-
dent of the United States, upon the pan of Chum! Cans„
upon tbe put of al the ministers and functionaries of the
United State. withwhom I have been brought into contact,
every inanifeetainnof that cordial and friendly disposition
which estimate. tie government and the community of
Oren Britain. (Chime.) There are nu question. involving
any deyree of anzism or apprehomiou pending between the
two coining,. (the* ; end I inn sometimes disposed to
hope that the tans may seen come when there will
warmly be any euljects of official correspondence at all.
(Chetra) If I may not flatter myself with this agreeable
of gilicial vacuity--(lsaghtee)-1f I must look for-
ward my fair and nautra share of discontinua and de-
bates, surly, gentlemen, velure in the experience of the
past the lest grounds for believing that there can never bo
a question so ditikult or so tomplioated that it may not
meet with a prompt, with a paroful, and with en honour-
able solution. (loud cheers.) There are many questions
at axe envenomed end darning which have bum setned
in a pact& manner en our reset negotiations. Our east-
en iizies have been dffned by one treaty. Oar
winters boundaries have beet settled by soother. Iles
disputed fisheries, which at ma time thrattened to ent-
hral is, have been cosseted, by the selutary en-'
ts of reciprocity, Into a men of mutual weskit. 1
rin:ll7,Agentlemen, the questing of the Etrivileges of neutral
trade in tune of war—that gonna winds for so long was
the constant muse of complain• and recriminations—has now
°blamed, by the spontaneous onleratieni of her Majesty's
=Wigan during the late hostlitise, that liberal interpreta-
tion so often desired by the ;ailed States, and which no
government of Ezgland breeder will ever be inclined to
evoke or to repeal. (Cheels.) Gentimeen, I ere junilled,
then, in saylng that by an soy exercise of fniniusem, of
new gal forbemence and indultam*, no question can Aries
between our countries which will not Want of sn easy
and an tuneable settlement But, gentlemen, I desire
more than rurdiality—l done co-operation. (Cheers.)
Now, gentlemen, I do not wish to Warm the citizens of
the United States who me here present by raising
before their averted eyes tie phantom of "entangling
alliances." (Laughter and thews.) Entangling alliances,
gentlemen, are a kind of pditical spectre which seems to
have descended with unditaisiehed terrors from the wiad
of the Revolution to the present day. (Cheers and laugliter.)
There may be mutual coopention where there as no
written engagements; and. gentlemen, where the heart is
wanting, there may he written engagements without
mutual co-operation. (Cheers.) All, then. that I wish
to say le, that our respect., governnents should ~_
tunny make en early and same declaration and avowal to
ash ether of their views std intentions with respect to all
gralifolle which involve the common interests of
the him countsise—(ebeen)—arhereby they will have
