In the British Houseof Commons on the 1st instant Mr.
FRENCH wished to ask if the reported to have
been made by the noble Lord the Secretary for the Colo
Mes that successive law officers of the Crown had given
their opinion that the State of South Carolina was ust
fed in mprisonng they do, colored seamen sub
jects of her Majesty, correct and whether their
future relations with that State her Majestys Govern
ment prepared admit the legality of those pro-
ceedings?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL. shall not enter into any dis
cussion at present this subject but must conne my
self to stating that the matter has been considered and
there is doubt that it is not ustfable imprson Bril-
fish seamen the subjects of her Majesty that not
an act morally justifable. But, with respect to the
remedy must state that, although my noble friend now
Secretary ofSate the Home Department and successive
Foreign Secretaries have made remonsrances upon this
subject there is difficulty arising from the peculiar con-
stitution of the United States
The Government with which we can deal is not that of
South Carolina but the Federal Government of the United
Iruba
State for the United States they find their power of legs
aon particular States limited and they soy that
impossible for them to overrule the law of the State of
South Carolina without adopting justified by
the laws of the United States and which perhaps if
tempted to DE carried out would produce resistance
1t has been suggested that the only remedy for this
grievance is to put end the existing of
trade and commerce with that country; but
serious question and feeling the difficulty and seeing that
the law is of oppressive character the Government
only continue to their endeavors by adherng the
law Of nations and the principles Of commercial inter-
course to obtain alteration iu the law which has been
the subject of complaint.
Mr. HUME of opinion that the authorities of South
Carolina were justified in imprisoning British
subject because he black than If he were white He
hoped that the correspondence on the subject would
be laid on the table of the House. and that thus the blot
upon liberty in land protesting to be land of liberty
might be made public.
FRANCE.
1t was decided in the Cabinet Council of the Emperor
the Goth of June Admiral DE LA SUISSE from
the command Of the French squadron in Beska bay The
assigned for this is the delay which took
place before the French squadron arrived in Beska bay
from Saams ViceAdmiral HAMELIE has been appoint
ed to supersede De Ia SUISSE The correspondent of the
Times says that:
1t thought desirable to pay compliment to the
English by allowing their admiral take the command
without any violation Of naval etiquette Admiral Hame-
lin is younger officer than Admiral Dundas while he is
pronounced TO be superior to De la SUISSE in capacity and
moral and physical energy, and his appointment enables
the French Government to show act of courtesy to
England without giving ofofence to its officers"
