Lird CASTLEREAGH moved the third reading
of the Foreigra Enlistment Bill.
Sir W. Scurf said, it was quite unnecessary for
him to argue, that it was just and proper to pre-
serve a strict neutrality between a country and its
colonies, when that country was bound to us in the
ties 4,amity, b 7 eft* hastier. When be said'
strict tientrarty, be meant • neutrality which
consisted in a complere'abstinence, nut only from
absolute warfare, but from the giving of any kind
of assistance to either oue ride or the other. The
very • meaning of the word neutrality" implied,
.that they were to withhold succour from both par.
ties. This was the doctrine laid down by all the
authorities on the subject—end he particularly re-
ferred to a very eminent writer, Vette!, who had
expressly stated his opinion on this point. He said
" lu order to view this question properly, one must
distinguish whit a nation ought to du, if it pretend-
ed to be perfectly argue! whilst a war is carrying
on betweCu an ally sod souse tither state. Whilst
a nation choose to remain in that state, it
ougi.t, in every thing. to preserve the mort
exact neutrality. It ought. its the first place, to
give no succour, either of troop', or arms. or
any thing else. serviceable in ciorrying on war. I
say. absolutely no saccour." °robin expressed
himself on the subject to a similar manner. It

In the next place, it was fully admitted that the
Government of this country possessed that right.
which was essential to its safety soul sovereignty.
Indeed he thought some surprise had been expressed
when thin right woe. called into questi ••••• or insole
matter of dispute—hut the doubt was, its fact,
hang upon other circumstances. It had been said
that all Governments, and, of course, our own,
had admitted, in some instances, those individual
iolerpositions—that there were several circumstances
which on the present occasion, ought to have
duce" the British Government to allow their sub.
jects to enlist the South Ainericans-.-and that; in
fact, individuals had embarked in it, in anise-
quence of the Government not having prohibited it
befote. Now, it should be recollected that procla-
mations had been issued op the subject-7-mnd that
persons had proffeeed. their assistance in utter viola-
tion and contempt of those instruments which for-
mally warned them against such a proceedir.g.—
With respect to the other point; he 'would again
say, that-tbe considerations were such as could wit
be decided on by isidividusla, but-must be judged
of by the Snot*, which alone possessed the proper
facilities fur judging whether individual iuterposi-
lion should or :14001d not be admitted. Many an-
cient insiances, he knew, could be adduced, where
permission to act as belligerents was given to in-.
dividnals, without impugning the neutrality of the.
States to which they belonged. Of these instances,
he must observe, that they were most of them of a

principle a. . which he had alluded to. lu the
time of Elizabeth, and up to a later period (awl •
these were the times which Gentlemen who took
a different view of the question had selected), it was
• well-known fact. that all Christendom was divided
into two rat parties—the Protestants and the
Catholics. lit the war betweea Hothead and Spain.
the principle acted ou was this. that the subjects of.
Protestant countries supported the one party. and
the subjects of Catholic States. the other. By a
sort of tacit agreement, the Protestants made com-
mon cause with Protestants—the Catholics with
Catholics but this created no difference between
the States to which the parties respectively belong-
ed. In the war between the French and English,
at • later period, the Irish Catholics were allow-
ed to serve in the French army. while the
recusants who fled. in consequence of the Re-
vocation of the Edict of Nantes, assisted the Eng-
lish. With respect to them • sort of agreement
was entered into, that they should not be considered
as subject* of the States against which they bore
arms, alehough, in fact, they were so. Itt the case
of the Swiss, it wet well known that their Govern-

did not admit, he contended, that the interests of
the country should not stand in the way of Treaties,

ailet audible in the gallery. the Hon. and Learned
Grittlernan sat down amid cheers from the Miens-

band bide.
Mr. SC MATT P'‘lri. if the measure now under
contemplation were, whether of no this country
was to go to it'll., he would understand the argil.
meat of the Right lloti. and Learned Member (Sir
