The following is the latest in Parliament -
On the evening of Friday, the Goth, Mr. Glad
stone stated that on Monday last when Lord
Palmerston announced it was the intention If her
Majesty's government to continue diplomatic re.
latons with the American Minister, he did not
give any explanon of the motives which led to
that course, nor did he advert to the conduct of
the American government in the dismissal OF Mr.
Champion. AT that period there was reason 10
expect an immediate discussion upon the quest on.
and therefore he might have thought the cxpla.
nations at that time premature. He did not com
plain of this silence, but the motion to which he
referred bnving been withdrawn, and there being,
some uncertainty, also. as to the line which an
honorable gentleman opposite, who had given no
tce OF his intention to introduce the que ston was
about to take. he thought it important that the
House should know early as possible the ma.
ture of the reply which the government intend To
riro 10 tn ! sla:,.. from NJ Mercy respecting
the dismissal of Mr.. Champion from Washington
and perhaps. when they had that answer it would
be time Ia discuss the question. He therefore
wished to know when the government would be
prepared to lay their reply to Mr.. Marcy upon the
table
LORD PAIMERsToN said his honorable friend
had rightly understood the motives which induced
him to abstain Monday from making any OBJ
servations upon the subject. Motives equally
strong prevailed on the present OCCASION He
would therefore. say in reply to the question that
he had no doubt of being able to lay all the papers
upon the table, including Lord Clarendon's an
swer to Mr.. Marcy. IN the of next week.
probably on an early day.
Sir j. PACKINGroN said the honorable gentlo-
man had acted quite right in asking the govern
ment for the production of the papers, and he was
glad to hear that in the course of few days the
House would be i'll possession of the answer re-
turned to Mr.. Marey's despatch. 1t would, per-
haps. be only fair towards the government to
postpone any discussion on their conduct with
regard to the enlistment question until the drs
patch produced, but he earnes silly hoped that
discussion would not long be delayed He spoke
in no party sense and with no party object, WHEN
he said that he regarded with feelings of the
greatest anxiety he might aim, st say of shame
the condition of our relations with America. For
the present painful position of affairs he attached
the hlnme. Judging only from the public docu
ments which were IN the hands of honorable mem
ber>, to what he considered 10 be the serious mis-
conduct and unwlse policy of her Mojesty's gov.
eminent by which the government of the United
States had been irritated deceived and offended.
Under the circumstances he regretted that Mr..
Baltic felt himself under the necessity Of with
drawing his motion; but he trusted that the in
tention of Mr.. Moore. or some other independent
member, would afford honorable members on the
conservative side of the House opportunity of
calling attention to the real merits of the gus
ton,
Sir G. GREY strongly deprecated the tone adj
opted ty the Hon. Barone, in expressing de-
cided an opinion upon the question at the present
moment He was glad to find not only from the
cheers on his own side of the House, but from
the manifest indication, the side of the Hon.
Bar onet. that his views did not meet with general
concurrence.
Mr.. Moore appealed TO Lord Palmerston to APP
point early day for discussion uron the sub
ject.
No answer was returned, and the subject was
dropped.
