friend. The only regret / feel on the occasion
is, that although the dispatch Tor which he has moved
expresses in strong terms the feelings OF her MDcs-
/ tvs Government and the feelings which we believe
animate the whole of the British nation, stIIl am
/ sensible that no terms which could have been en-
ploycd by me could adequately convey the feelings
Of thankiulncss and admiration which the conduct OF
brethren IN the United States must have excited
among all classes of her MJlcsty's subjects. As my
Hon friend has stated, not ON was the supply sent
large, liberal and generous in amount, but the manner
in which il sent, the promptltudc with which 1t
was forwarded, and the strong leclmg ot interest
| which expressed on the part u all those who
had contributed 10 that supply, were more almost
than could possibly be expected on the part OF per-
sons who however united TO us in origin and bound
10 us By every tie Of language and religion, Of man
ncrs and habits, still bclng separated by mighty
cxpansc of ocean, could not b. animated perhaps by
the same extent OF sympathy by which our brethren
in the United States have been so honorably dstin-
gushcd. ] agree with my Hon. friend that tranSac-
tons Of this nature are calculate, TO c,m mt IN the
strongest those ties which ought to unite kin
dTed nations, and il is this circumstance which ought
not TO be lost sight of-that while on the one hand
acts OF generosity such these bind and rvct the
affections Of those upon whom they have been con-
fcrred, the other hand they tend by the very ex
ercsc which accompanies them OF good ana Kindly
feelings, TO increase the affection Of those by whom
they done toward those who have been the OBJ
jects of those generous acts And therefore, sir,
both in regard TO the feelings which those actions
proclaim in America am happy to think that what
may have been the sultcrings and caamitics
which gave rise to these acts at all events they will
SO far have been attended with happy results, that
they have afforded to brethren in the U. States
an opportunity of doing that which will never be
forgotten by the people of this country and hope,
for long time, will increase the good feeling OF the
people Of the United States toward their brethren in
this country. (Chccrs.)
Lord Morpcth said, as he had had very peculiar OPP
porunities of noticing the warmth Of feeling which
existed in every part OF the Union towards the inhabi
tants of this, which they called ''the old'' country,
he could not help declaring his participation in the
feelings Of satisfaction and thankiuncss expressed by
the Hon. member and his noble friend. 1T was i'm
possible to overratc the strength of those feelings,
cvinccd by the warmth of sympathy which had been
called forth in America, and by the liberal and sub
stanal tokens which had accompanied il, and which,
he trusted would be considered to be amply answer
ed by the dispatch Of his noble friend But he was
not sorry that before Parliament rosc feelings such
as those expressed By the Hon. members had found
a vent within the walls of that House. He had re-
ccivcd letters recently from New FORK, describing
the taken there for securing the health and
comfort of the destitute cmgrants from this country,
and Boston island had been set apart for, and
appropriated 10 hospitals. He believed that the
same kindly spirit prevailed all over the Union from
Maine to New Orleans, and although occasionally
of and subjects of alteration would
unavoidably arise between the two countries, as be-
tween other nations, the touchstonc of calamity
only wanting to call forth at all times whatever
most generous and kind i'll our nature. He bore with
pleasure his testimony the value of those feelings
which the calamtics Of ireland had elected in Amer
lea. (Hcar, hcar.)
The motion was then agreed TO.
