Important Speech Of Sir Robert Peel, on The
rigA of Search.-In the course of debate on the
3D. inst. in Parliament, Sir Robert Peel, in reply
TO member who had alluded to the recent troatv,
spoke as follows:
81 rejoice that the honorable gentleman has
given me an opportunity of making some obscr.
vations on the late message of tho President of
:he United States. The sincere and earnest de.
sire | have always entertained for the maintc-
nance of good understanding between this coun.
try and the United States, and the spirit in which
hav nj, -
doubly painful duty to me to havo to refer to that
message; which, am sorry to say, does not give
a correct account Of tho negotiations relative to
the right of visit. Perhaps may do right to con-
trm what the honorable gentleman has said, that
there is nothing moro distinct than tho righ. of
visit is from the right of search.
Search is belligeront right, and not 10 be exer-
cised in time of peace, except when it has been
conceded by treaty. The right Of search extends
not only to the vessel. but to tho cargo also.-
The right of visit is quite distinct from this,
though the two are often confounded. The right
Of search, with respect to American vessels, we
entirely and utterly discam nay, more-if we
knew that an American vessel was furnished with
all the materials requisite for the slave-trade if
we knew that the decks were prepared to receive
hundreds of human beings within space in which
life is almost impossible, still we should be bound
to let that American vessels pass on. But the
right we claim is to know whether vessel pre-
tending to be American, and hoisting the Amer
ican flag, be bona fde American.
There must be some great misunderstanding
uponthe subject: but, considering the Importance
OF maintaining this right-a right not peculiar to
England; considering that we are, conlending for
right which is the only security against fraud.
against tho grossest abuses by parties interested
n this lnlqulsous traffic; considering that we are ,
low the advocates of principle necessary for the
interests and security of all maraiime nations,-
lis my duty to state, in the face of the House of
Commons, that the claim to the right of visitation
'ontended for in the despatch of Lord Aberdeen
las not been relnquished; that, on this subject,
here was made no concession whatever, and that
the principles laid down in the despatch of Lord
Aberdeen we adhere at this moment. [Cheers :
rom both sides Of tho House.l
