Parliament continued in session until the 9Th,
nothing Of any importance occurring On that

The discussions which took place are not impor
| iant to this country with the exception of some
views in relation to the Mcleod affair.
The principal debate which occurred, was upon
the supplies to be granted to fier Majesty, upon
which Lord John Russell made long speech,
which was replied 10 by sir Robert Peel. In the
course OF Lord John IS speech, he makes the fol-
| lowing remarks the existing state of the rela-
lions between this country and England.
"The question in dispute between this country
and America does bear in come of its aspects

w hen my noble friend, the late Secretary Of State
for Foreign Affairs offered his opinion on the sub
iect 10 the American Secr'y of State, communica.
| tons arose between them which left 1t clear that
| the executive Government of th,s country and the
! Government of the United States agreed as
to the character and extent of the difference subss
| ting between them, and sure am that no impair
tial aud intelligent person, looking at the circum-
stances Of the case, can do otherwise than come to
the conclusion that tho matter in question must be
regarded in the light of difference between ma
ton and nation, and in no respect Of private wrong
however,
State of New York viewed the question in differ
ent light, and such a view, as if persevered in
could not fail, in my opinion, to prove destructive
of all amicable relations between independent
countries If questions of that be left
| to the ordinary tribunals which administer justice
internally amongst the subjects the citizens of
State, IF the two Governments of the countries
where such unhappy occurrences arise are not to
al IN tho NJ.
Piles of international law, then, 1 CONCEIVE, there
must be an end to that understanding upon which
amicable relations alone lbe founded. have
no hesitation in say ing that if any court of law as
sumes to itself the power the right of determine
ing such questions, proceeding of that nature
must have the effect Of placing the amicable rela-
lions previously subsistng between the two coun-
tries in the utmost peril. Considering then that
this question is which ought to be settled by
the two executive Governments, and by them a
lone, hold il TO be highlyIimproper that any thing
Of this sort should be brought under the decision
consideration Of any of the ordinary tribunals of
either country. II at the commencement of the
Spanish war Graham Moore--previous to the for
NAL declaration of hostilies-hnd captured, sup.
pose, a Spanish frigato, and that he arrested
it would be equally as competent TO the Spanish
tribunals to consider him nmeniabe their author
ty and try him for piracy as it was to the New
York tribunals to hold British subject answera-
BILE to them for the conduct pursued with reference
to the Caroline steam vessel Between my noble
friend the late Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs
and Mr.. Webster there happily existed entire
accordance of opinion to the capture of the Carr
one, and am that the President OF the Un
tied States will the necessity OF preventing the
occurrence of similar events in future If there be
any iaten ton of maintaining amicable relations
with this country, am sure it will be felt fully
bv tho American Government as it is by the Gov
| eminent of England, that proceedings of the ma
ture of that to witch have been just abiding can
not be repeated and ought not to be persevered in.
The Governments ofboth countries being thus a.
greed, there cannot, imagine, arise between them
any cause Of war. There cannot, should hope,
be any cause Of difference between two countries
where there evidently exists strong desire TO main
tain peace"
