In the House of Lords, Earl Gosford moved
an address in response to the Queens speech,
which was seconded BY Lord Abingdon.
The Earl OF Derby did not oppose the motion,
but he said that he considered the Royal speech
as very bare, cold and meagre. He thought it
ought to refer tc the state of affairs with Amer
lea, India and the colonies, as we'll as TO the
fall of Kars. He conceived that the Govern
mrnt had violated municipal law Of the Uni
ted States in the attempt 10 enlist men, and
hoped an apology would be offered such as
could br received. He regretted, however, that
there was not concllatorv paragraph introduce
ed into toe speech reirrring to the SUBJECT
The whole speech, he said, was redolent OF wa
ter gr,iel.
The Earl Of Clarendon replied By referring
to the present relations with the United States.
He said, n my opinion there can be no doubt
as to the common sense view of the obligations
Of the Clayton Buiwer treaty, and yet it is up
90 the interpretation ofthat treaty, that The dil-
ference of opinion has arisen. In such case,
correspondence was useless, and ! lost 40 time
in Offering 10 refer the whole question 70 the
arbitration of third Power, both sides agree
ing to the decision.
That offer has not been accepted, but it has
been again renewed, and | hope upon further
Consideration, the United States Government
will acquieSce. With respect to the recruiting
difficulty, it wonld not have aided friendly So
lation to aliude to it from the throne, lnasmuch
as the correspondence upon the subject contln-
ues. The most recent demands of the United
States, arrived about two days since, and they
are not.yet in state TO be made public
The origin of the trouble was this At the
beginning Of the war, numerous foreigners, in
the United States, applied 10 the British Gov
ernment cor permission to join the army of the
East. In consequence instructions were sent
to the government of Nova Scotia TO consider
whether persons from the United States could
be received at Halifax.
These instructions were notified to Mr..
Cramrton, who as at the same time informed,
that anxious as England for recruits she
was still more anxious that there should be no
violation of the municipal law OF the United
STATES. An agency waS accordingly opened,
aud upon complaint being made, Mr. CHAMPION
desired that it might be made public that the
British Government did not recruit soldiers in
the Emitted States, and be- made known his in
structons to Mr.. Marcy, who expressed his sat
Sfaction after further explanations. 1t stated
that correspondence ola not very amleablr ma
ture had since taken place between the Gov
ernmen!s, but the transactions referred to are
hy-gour Transactions, and from the commence
men the British Government has disclalned
all Infringement of the laws OF the United
States.
With the conduct of Mr.. Champion he said
his government was perfectly sat>frd, being
convinced that hr neither Intentionally nor
accidentally violated the laws Of the United
States.
The whole difficulty was susceptible of
peaceful solution, and no slight was meant by
not mentioning America in The speech from the
throne.
