' making a wide street. Some of the rights of the Crown

AMERICA AND CANADA.
Mr. WHITESIDE asked the Under Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs whether the Foreign-office had re-
ceived despatches, or any information, relative to state-
ments lately published in this country, to the effect that
encouragement had been given by eminent, political indi_
viduals in the United States to a confederacy of Fenians
designed to attack Canada, to invade Ireland, and to make
war, when required, upon England ?
Mr. LAYARD said Mr. Seward had been spoken to on
the subject by the Government. Colonel Leason and the
Attorney-General for one of the American States had at-
tended these meetings, but the Colonel had obtained leave
of absence on furlough, and therefore he only attended such
a meeting as a private individual. With respect to the
Attorney-General, he was only accountable to the State in
which he held office.
THE DEFENCE OF CANADA.
In reply to au Hos. MEMBER,
Mr. CARDWELL said he had received official intima-
tion that four members of the Council of Canada were
about to wait on the Government to confer on the mat-
tors relative to the defence of Canada. In that conference,
however, the Government had not the power to enter into
any arrangements that would be binding without the full
consent of Parliament. When the conference was ended
he would take care that a full statement of the proceed-
ing's should be laid before Parliament.
WAR IN NEW ZEALAND
In reply to an HON. MEMBER,
Mr. CARDWELL said a telegram had been received
from Gen. Cameron, stating that war had broken out in
New Zealand. That there had been an attack, and that
three officers and 15 men had been killed and 30 wounded.
The enemy, however had been repulsed with great loss.
THE OFFICE OF POSTMASTER-GENERAL.
In reply to Mr. GRIFFITH,
Lord PALMERSTON said it was not the intention of
the Government to introduce any measure for the purpose
of enabling the Postmaster-General to sit in the House of
Commons.
