VISITATION.

the portion Of Sir ROBERT PErr.'s speech

tat,on. From tine disclosure OF the Bri-
t.sh Premier, i, appears that, so far from
this right OF stopping our ships on the
high seas. boarding them, and assuming
v's''oriai power over them, having been
surrendered. or even waived, ON the part
of Great Britain, the assumption Of the
British, Cabinet on the subject has never
been contested by our own. The British
Premier, therefore witt, much proprie,y,
expresses surprise that the principle his
Government had insisted on. and which
had never been even conlroverted by
ours, should have been represented by
the latter ,othe American people as hav
ing been abandoned by England. Sir
