The Committee state ihst the same IS unde
consid e. ration, and gave Their reasons for ~
reporting nj length At IBIS moment. The rca
sons briefly src-thai The suhlert is now tc
fore the BRUSH Government Tor It's con~iJ
Grafton. The proposition tefure that gov.
fnmen they say. will doubtless settle r
lead TO the settlement Of tic question Al is
sue. The difficulties 10 the way orany ami
cable adjustment viii not be found 10 bc =,
erca, as have been anticipated. We MAJ
adds the reporl reasonably exp cot that a re
ply VIII be received during tho present Of
carly in the approaching month Of Nav.
The Report which tic Committee on For
eign Relations had presented would allay ey-
oilemoni and restore harmony. He heartily
approved Of il. and thought the extra numbers
ought 10 be printed.
Mr. Wright said thai he lived on tho firm
Tier, and he believed iha' the greit prep1r-
atoms in the provinces were made with the
view OF self-proiection, or TO prevent any vi
olence nn the part of the disaifecied people
of the province. He did not believe there
was any dcsigl on the part of Great Britain
TO place these troops in Canada with a view
ofanaking war on tho people OF the United
States.
Mr. Ruggles, OF Ne, said that this document
upon the face of it appeared a peace docu-
ment. Heretofore we had been favored
with war documents. There was some who
desired the settlement u tie question in con.
troycrsy at the expense OF a war. His own
constituents felt a deep %iniercs, in the sub
Jeci, and he did not be ie,c That the Report
would be as satisfactory 10 them as the cor.
Tespondcnoc between the Secretary of State
and BRUSH Minister. That correspondence
led many OF them 10 hope that the Govern.
ment would take strong measures and do
something tina, would lead to a settlement of
the vexed question. There was one ques-
iion which Maine regarded more than peace
or war. and that was. national honor and tho
maintenance Of tie rights ofthe State.
Mr. Clay said he was very happy TO hear
the Senator from Maine say that he was not
for war. II there was a war party IL WAS q
criminal one. He was pleased TO believe
that tie dominant party was opposed TO war.
The opinion Of the country was against war.
and no party could he found to defend war.
There was but two ways of setlling this
question, continued MIR. Clay. By war or
negotiation. The Senate and the country
were interested in this question, and though
not as much interested as Maine. il was ,
question for the Government, alolo TO settle.
While, said Mr.. Clay, | believe the people
OF Name as patriotic, as wise aud rs brave as
the citizens of any other section OF the country
osnnot consent that Maine should take this
question from the General Government. If
by negotiation the question is settled, The Ey-
eenilye and the Senate mus, settle il. If bv
war, this Government alone is todeclare war
can feel,l do feel for The position of Maine
butt cannot consent, that she should take INV
power from the general government into her
own hands.
There are two securities, said mr.. C., against
The opiuien OF war. Great Britain cannot,
when The night is with us, be willieg to make
she question a war question. and he believed.
nc ADDED, that she would come TO tnis ronclu.
sion upon an examination Of Tie question.
Du' hnppoalne, added mr. e. that upon an in
'esuga'i"n, she should think that The rinht was

uoi one at war; No two na'ions she ,Liog
