IMPORTANT SPEECH BY SIR r. PEEL.
RESPECTING THE UNITED STATES.
IN THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT.
In the House Of Commons, on Thursday
the first GIT Of the session, Sir r. Peel
made the following speech relative to the
United States, which we deem 20 inpor-
lant that we give it entire. He commenced
by referring to the remarks Of the proceed
ing speaker, Mr.. c. Wood, respecting the
boundary treaty, and expressing his plea
sure at the settlement, Of tina, question, said
that no other advantage could be compared
wi 1
nations of kindred origin, OF kindred Ian
guage, and Of interest. ns kindred as their
origin and language. The right hon. ba-
rone' then proceeded rs follows:

given me an opportunity of making some
observations on the late message Of tho
President the United States. The sincere
and honest desire have always entertain.

able gentleman has said, that there is no,h-
ing more distinct than the RICH, OF visit il
from the RICH, OF search. Search is
oeiligerent right. and not to be exercised IN
time OF peace except when i, has been con-
coded by treaty. The RICH, of search ex-
tends not only to the vessel, but to the car
go also. The right Of visit is quite dis,inc,
from this, though the two are often CON-
founded oh r.
