"As the Ministry are vaitngifur;her inform ation
from Mr.. Champion bef.re giving areply to the
last dispatches from Was hiugton, and it is certain
that their wish as well IS the wish of Parliament
and the people viii be to see how much in
stead of how little they concede it is felt that
assuming as the country are supposed to do, that
similar feeling prevails amongst the majority of
American citizens, all possibility of ultimate rup
ture on the ground may safely be dismissed.
"On the Central American question, the offer of
referring it to arbitration seems also to most per-
sons to paceit beyond danger. Unless each dis
putant is to claim to be his own judge as to which
argument is the true one, there is of course, in
reason and Christianity, no resource but TO call
upon the Judgment of third party and to agree to
abide by it. In the present case, doubtless, it
would be more satisfactory for both sides TO arrive
at friendly Interpretation by the strength of their
own intellectual and moral perceptions"
The following Is fuller account of the debate
in Parliament than we have yet published. 1t is
by the steamer America:
A debate occurred in the House Of Commons on
Friday night the 18th inst.
Mr. Roebuck rose to call the attention of the
House to "our relations" with the United States
and moved for the production of all the correspon
dence with the Government of the United States
relative TO the conduct of Mr.. Champion
Mr. Roebuck commenced by impressing upon
the House the necessity for the question to be
properly understood in Great Britain, aad that it
should be ascertained who was to blame for the
unsatisfactory state of Engand's relations with
America. He remarked that the laws of the Uni
ted States prohibited recruiting for foreign service
and that in the earlier days of the Republic it had
REQUIRED French Minister of the period to be re-
moved for such an infraction of the laws Their
jealousy ON this head was therefore natural.
He proceeded to show, from documents read at
the late trials in the United States, first, that Mr.
Champion knew he was breaking the law; second,
that he took means to evade it; and third that he
was supported in his evasion by the Government
of Nova Scotia and the Governor. General of Cana
da, and urged to it by the Home Government.
Under these circumstances Mr.. Roebuck contend
1
justified in requiring the recall of Mr. Champion
| and that the apology which the British Govern
| ment had rendered was delusion upon the House
and the country. He therefore called, first, for a
specific answer to thia question: "What instruc-
| tions were given to Mr.. Champion y Next for
| an expression of opinion the part of the House,
that they were parties TO this violation of the
| laws of the United States.
| Mr. Hadfed seconded the motion
| Lord Palmerston replied defending the Govern
| ment and stating that the correspondence would
be produced as soon as the last despatch from the
| American Government had been answered Lord
| Palmerston then launched into a fierce nvectiye
against Mr. Roebuck, whom he styled the mouth
piece of the caumnies utteredin in the United States
! and as holding brief from the enemy"
Lord Palmerst0n then continued: "No man could
| more strongly feel than he did the talanlities
which would arise from conflict between the Bri-
| tish nation and the United States. These were
the sentiments OF all the people of this country
but il was thing to entertain friendly senti-
ment toward kindred nation, and another to en-
| tertain our feelings of self respect. So
SIT was incumbent upon those who were charged
with the public interest to cultivate both these
sentiments. for the interests of peace were equally
great both sides of the Atlantic and the caalni
ties arising from state OF war would be equally
disastrous that, however, which government had
to consider was the Justice of its cause and what
was beftting the honor and dignity OF the country
"He was persuaded that this feeling was recipro-
Gated on both sides of the Atlantic whatever might
i
standing such ebullitions as the House had just
heard, which savored of anything but tendency
to eonciliate differences. he persuaded there
was such right feeling in the United States that
they valued the friendship of this great Empire.
and that the interests OF Doth were inseparably
bound up with the continuance OF friendly reia-
| tons. 5a
HE could not, under such circumstances, per.
suade himself that these matters of difference,
when they came to be laid before the Congress of
the United States as they would before the Parlia
ment of Great Britain would not receive the calm,
dispassionate and reasonable consideration which
| was essential to an amicable sentiment and which,
| he trusted, would prevent any Incorporate indi
sidual on either side, from attempting TO plunge
| the two countries into the ealamities of war
