The report of the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs recommends a revision of the neutrality laWs'
and declares that England has given America 0°
cause to respect her sense of justice or regard for
right. It also expresses strong sympathy for the
Fenians. The committee reported a bill which the
House of Representatives passed unanimously, re-
pealing the stringent provisions of the neutrality
laws, and modifying the penalties for their viola-
tion. The bill provides that the law shall not 10
construed so as to prevent the sale of American
ships and steamers and war ammunition to the in:
habitants of other countries or Governments not to
war with the United States, and repeals the acts re'
quiring the owners and consignees of armed veasets
departing from America to give bonds for good eon'
duct, and the act commanding collectors of customs
to seize and detain vessels whenever they shall have
cause to suspect they intend acts of hostility against
other Governments.
Numerous prominent Fenians were on the floor
watching the passing of the bill.
A communication from Mr. Seward was read J°
the house, stating that the representation desired by
the house concerning the Fenian prisoners will be
made to the British Government. Mr. Seward
quoted a letter from himself to Sir Frederick Bruce
in June last, in which he expressed the hope tba:
the customary administrative law would be temper'
with special forbearance and clemency by the Cana"
dian authorities.
The Judiciary Committee of the House of 'tie;
