The daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1848-1851, 1850-07-26

| In the House Of Commons MIR. Roebuck intro
/ dIced resolution approving the foreign policy of
| the Russell Ministry, which he supported with q
long speech, reviewing the history of their diploma
cv since 1880. He was followed by Sir f. The
singer, MI. p. Wood and Sir James Graham. all of
whom spoke at great length. On the next night
L9fd John Manners, Mr. Osborne and Lord Pal
nisfston made long and elaborate speeches. The
subject was one which required an intimate ac.
qnaintance with the politics of the last twenty
years, and involved discussion of many intricate
difficulties. How long would it take our House Of
Representatives to get through with such com
pcated dehate9
In the course Of The debate, two of the members
spoke of the imprisonment of the English negro
sailor, who had been confined in Jail in Charleston.
Lord John Manners followed and said that the
honor and dignity OF the Crown of England could
net be maintained by the policy which was now
adopted, and the peace Of the world would be
/ JeopardIzed by such policy--a policy which was
now bullying weak State, and now submitting
/ 70 a powerful one-which was at one time making
exilavegant claims against deienceless State, and
al another declining all applications for redress
against one that was powerful and mighty [Aneri-
cal 1t was surprising, he said, that Lord Palmer
siun's tongue was biistered when he alluded TO
America Not many weeks ago he declared that
| he could not, and would not, protect the subjects
/ Of England against the airocious tyranny exer-
cised over them by South Carolina. Every British
subject, said Lord J. Manners, who might happen
to proceed 10 that State, las Bowers did would be
seized and nearcerated in like manner. Yet Lord
Faimerston said he could not interfere because the
act complained of was sanctioned by the munich
| pal law Of the American State-an avowal dis
netly opposed to the policy which he had followed
with respect to Greece
Mr.. R0ebuck, in the course of his great speech
~ the House Of Commons on Monday, referred to
The claims of the American Government on Portu-
gal in support of Lord Palmerston's recent policy
towards Greece. Mr. Roebuck said dat America
has our own institutions her peoph are quite as
commercial as ours, aud love peace as much as
we do But in l6l4-l5, when we were at war
with the United States, the British ship Carnation,
seeing an American ship off The Azores, chased
her, and took her under theswas OF FaVal Our
brother over the water called Brother Jonathan
not choosing g lose his ship, presented his bill
not TO England, for she was at war with hinl--but
70 Foriugai-but Portugal said we cannot pay, as
the ship was taken In spite OF u.s. America re-
piled, we know it was done in spite of you, and
therefore you must pay u.s. Portugal has not paid
the claim thus made upon her; but at this moment
vessels are coming from the other side OF the At
lantc 70 enforce j., and perhaps at this moment the
Iagus is blockaded on that account" Hear,
hear, from the Ministerial side
The recent allGson by Lord John Manners to the
Bowers case, called forth the Morning Herald
yesterday on the same subject. Bowers, it says,
was seized out of ship bearing the British flag,
imprisoned, and treated maleiactor. For this
actual imprisonment and the consequent damages
resulting, I" we have not heard Of any diplomatic
missives-of any sharp letters to the diplomatic
busy body, Sir Henry Bulwer. If any such letters
We're sent, we should have heard Of IL before now,
for the Envoy at Washington is likely to have fol-
lowed the precedent set by the Envoy of Madrid,
l. .. Of thrusling Viscount Pamerstons letter, just
as i was written, into the hands Of Zachary Tay-
of, as he thrust another OF tho same kind without
preface or decentralization, into The hands of Mar
vaez, !" "A great powerful a civilized nation,
kn9wing we'll the sanctions and obligations of inter-
national law, has committed this outrage on Brit
ish subject and yet it has passed sub silentio"
America has sailors, Ships long rifles and seventy
tours. America is great, powerful and prosperous
whereas Greece is poor and feeble II is out Of The
reach Of danger, therefore, that Lord Palmerston is
so very bold 1t is with the feeble and needy only
he is so very confident and strone. handed .
