ADDITIONAL BY THE AMERICA
Debate in the House Of Commons

ENGLAND. "A debate arose to call atten.
ton to our present relations with the
United States for the production oil all the
correspondence with the government Of the
united States relative to the conduct OF
Champion.
! Mr.. Roebnek commenced by impressng
/ upon the House the necessity for the cues.
'ion to be properly understood in Britain,
and That It should be ascertained who was
to blame for the unsatisfactory state of Eng
| lands relations with America. He remar-
ked that the laws OF the Uuited States pro-
hioited recruiting for the foreign service,
aud that in its early days the Republic had
required the French minister of tina, period
to be removed for such infraction of laws
Their Jealousy was only restored on this
head. He proceeded to show from docu-
msnts read at the late trials in the United
States that Mr.. Champion knew he was
breaking the law. Next he took means to
eyade it, and thirdly he was supported by
the government of Nova Scotia and the
Governor General of Canada, and urged to
1t by home government under these cir
cumstances.
Roebuck contsnded that the United
States was justified in requiring the recall
OF Champion, and that the apology the
British government had rendered was de-
fusion upon the House and the country
He therefore first called for specific an.
swer to this question. What instructions
were given to Mr.. Champion! Next, for an
expression on the part OF the House that
they were parties to this violation Of the
laws Of the United States
Mr.. Hatfield seconded the motion
Lord Palmerston replied, defending the
government, and stated that the correspon.
dence would be produced as soon as the
last despatch TO the American government
had been answered. Lord p. then launced
into fierce inyective againt Mr.. Roebuck,
whom he called the mouth piece Of calam-
tiles uttered in the U. s., and holding brief
from the enemy. Lord p. then continued
that no man could more strongly feel that
the destructive calamities would arise from
a conflict between the British nation and
the U. S.
These were the instruments Of the peo.
pie of this country, but it was one thing TO
entertain a friendly sentiment toward a
kindred people, aud another to maintain a
feeling of self respect. 1t was incumbent
upon those who were charged with public
interest to cultivate both ties, and the SEN
timent for interest of peace were both
equally great on both sides of the Atlantic,
and the caamities which might arise from
a state of war would be equally disastrous
to that Government. He had to consider
what was the business Of it's course, and
what was BETTING the dignity OF his country. |
He was persuaded this feeling was recipro-
Gated on both sides of the Atlantic, what
ever mi ght be said in popular speech In A |
merica, and Notwithstanding such ebolution !
Is the II ouse had Just heard which was any, |
hing but sayored with tendency to concili-
tie differences, he could not persuade HIM
'elf that those matters of difference when
hey came to be laid before the Congress Of
he United STATES, as they would be before
he Parliament of Great Britain would claim
Ldspassionate and reasonable consideration
which was essential TO an amicable settle
nent, and which he trusted would prevent
nv Incorporate persons on the other side
rom attempting to plunge the two coun.
ries into the calamties of war.
The Chancellor OF the Exchequer has
lotifed capitalists to meet Lord Palmers.
on 10 meet himself on the 9Th, to hear pro-
,osed terms for q new loan, supposed t2o,-
100 900.
The London Times reviews Stewards
peech, and says England will not give up
he smallest Of her rights to mere Ameri.
an clamor.
A Liverpool correspondent gives from
rivate sources, but does not guarantee
tatement, that the Derby and Gladstone
ar,ies had each held secret meeting on
he course to be pursued respecting the
American difficulties. The Derby party
ecded to support Palmerston to rescue
English honor from republican result; these
re the very words. The Gladstone party
ecded to take every measure to shun a
upture with the United States.
