ty's government have no intention OF calling on
Parliament at this moment for any opinion, nor do
/ understand that II IS the intention OF my noble
friend, or OF any other member OF this house,
TO call on Parliament at present TO pronounce
an opinion These circumstances, therefore, would
have indisposed me from voluntarily laying on the
table information at this moment Another reason
also would prevent me from voluntarily coming
down with any such information to the house
must admit that from the aspect OF the negotiation,
reported in the papers which have been produced
In the United States, and which | am in condition
10 produce to your lordships, an inference might
fairly be drawn not favorable to the result Of the ne
gotiation In which we are engaged-they would be
calculated to induce us TO augur favorably Of the
suit. For this reason, therefore, l should have
wished not voluntarily to submit to the house, in
such stage of the negotiation that to which we
have now arrived, communications which are cal
culated to produce such an oplnion.-(Hsar) Ne
vertheless, u is my decided opinion, that such an
opinion would be unwarranted. cannot bring my
sell to believe, my lords, however the effect produce
ed by the papers have referred to might be, as
have said-I cannot, repeat bring myself to believe
that any reasonable doubt remains OF our being able
to bring this matter to satisfactory conclusion -
Clear, hear) have no doubt OF he sincere desire
OF both governments to arrive at the result; and
hope that my noble friend will not think me guilty
OF any uncourteous conduct, II decline 10 inform
him Of the steps wich in the present juncture OF
affairs, her Majesty's Government may think
proper TO take in pursuit OF the negotiations.
He may look on it that, believing as do,
ton, and the greatest crime generally that nation
can admit-(hear, hear,)-he may rely that every
effort consistent with the national honor will be
employed to avert it. (Hear., hear.) My lords,
will not lay claim to your indulgence beyond what
| am fairly entitled to but II might without pre-.
sumption add the expression of opinion, il would
be, that you would believe that the conduct Of this
great transaction will be forbearing, conciatory,
moderate, and just, without any sacrifice Of honor
or the real interests of the county (Hear) But,
my lords on the other hand, 1t il certainly possible
(though would reject the notion) that all our es-
forts may be unavaillng. In that case can only
say, that it will be my endeavor not only to secure
the support and countenance OF every one OF your
lordshps, but the sympathy and appreciation also OF
every state In Europe, and OF the whole civilized
world. (Hear, hear) My lords, l think my noble
friend WILL perhaps, not expect me to go further IN
to the subject at present. and will conclude the Jew
words which have thought 1t necessary to address
her majesty has been gracionsy pleased TO say from
the throne -" That effort will be spared, con-
sstenty with the national honor, to bring this ques-
uon to an early and successful termination"
Lord BROUGHAM, referring to a statement that had
been made, respecting agobe said to be in the pos
session Of Mr.. Everett, on which the Oregon boun-
Diary was marked favorabIy to America, satd. he
had yesterday received letter from Mr.. Everett,
which quite confirmed the truth OF the assumption
which he (Lord Brougham) had offered at the time.
It appeared that Mr.. Everett had ordered the globe
through another person. and that the tradesman had
marked the boundary in the manner referred to,
perhaps with a view to pay compliment to Mr..
Everett, but without the previous knowledge OF that
gentleman. With respect to the question before the
House. he could only join his hearty wish, and ex-
press his confident hopes, that all these negotiations
troublesome as they might be, would lead to hap
py issue; and also his entire confidence in his noble
friend and the rest OF her majesty's government,
and that should-unhappily for u.s. tor America, and
for humanity at large-those just expectations prove
unfounded, mankind would ti0d out to whom the
blame should be imputed; and further, that although
the calamity of war would be looked at by ali with
the utmost possible aversion, by none would ii be
regarded with apprehension alarm
Lord AsHBURroN, felt sure that all which caution
and prudence required in this negotiation would be
observed by his noble friend. and that the honor Of
England would not be furnished. When he looked
at the probability of two countries like England and
America rushing madly into war on a question In
which nothing was at stake but their honor, he could
not for moment doubt that whatever might be the
ebulltion of popular feeling here or In the United
States, the sterling good sense which characte rised
those two countries would prevail and preserve both
from that ultimate alternative which he could
not contemplate without feelings Of the ut.
most horror He held 1t to be hopeless for either
to seek TO obtain advantage over the other in what
were called the terms OF negotiation. The only
question was, how to settle this disputed right in the
manner which would be best for the two nations
The negotiation could not be in better hands than
those Of his noble friend, and he felt also, the
other hand, confidence that the people OF the United
States would at least come to fair, an honorable
and a safe conclusion on the subject.

during the week ending March Z. The repeal can

ral IN politics, but not a repealer, was Mr. Moore.
The result OF the contest was Mr. McDonnell's re-
turn by a majority OF sixty. This is not to
be wondered at, especially when it is known
that John, Archbishop of Tuam, (Dr. M'hale.)
seconded MIR. M'Donnelps nomination, and
made what has been termed very violent speech
on the occasion. The military and the peasantry
came into conflict with each other during the
OF the election, when the former were obliged to
fire upon the populace. One life was lost, and some
few others wounded. Mr.. OConnell is still in Lon
