FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE

quebec, July l5.-The Cunard screw steamer
Canadian, from Liverpool on the I'd inst, arrived
here this morning.
Mr.. Moore moved in the House of Commons
that the conduct of the Government on the en-.
llstment question had not entitled them to the
appreciation of the House. Several members
appealed to Mr.. Moore to postpone the motion.
but he refused. The debate proceeded, and the
Attorney General defended the Government.
de said the United States dispatches were not
such as might have been expected from a ma
ton who were anxious to preserve friendly re-
lations with England. Sir N. Thesiger said the
British agents had violated equally the laws of
the United States and of nations. Mr.. Bailie
declared that England was dishonored by her
attempts to seduce the citizens of the United
States from their allegiance Sir J. Walsh said
that the Government confessed, by not dismiss
ing MIR. Dallas, that they had done wrong. Mr..
Miner Gibson said that Lord Clarendon's con.
duct was insulting towards the United States
Government; and the American people should
understand that the British people did not sup.
port the Ministry therein. Mr. Gladstone con.
tended that the most blameable feature was the
concealment observed towards the American
Government, for which Lord Clarendon and
Mr.. Champion were equally to blame Other
members spoke In similar strain. Sir. Geo.
Gray, Mr.. Phillimore, the Solicitor General, and
others, defended the Government. The debate
was continued for two days, and the Government
was sustained by ma ority of "a.

THE CODE OF HONOR.

To the Editor Of the National Era:
The events of the last few weeks in Congress,
and the different views expressed in relation
the reto, will perhaps render it peculiarly fit to
publish the enclosed slip, cut from the New
Orleans Sunday Delta of the 29th June. Its
appearance in an ultra Pro- Slavery paper first,
will perhaps invest the article with degree
OF Importance, which those who uphold re-
sort to brute force would not acknowledge, If
taken from paper of different views. What
expression has ever been used in condemna-
ton of Brooks's assault, which is not fully justi-
he'd by these laws, as published in a Pro-Sla-
very paperf Respectfully, yours, -.
Laws of Honor.
The following are the laws of dueling, as laid
down by foreign nobleman of distinction.
who, in days when the duelo was considered
an honorable combat, participated as principal
and second in no less than forty duels, several
between men of the highest rank and distinc-
ton, and which were acknowledged as the code
OF honor by Lord Hardinge, in his correspond
ence after the celebrated duel between the Duke
OF Wellington and the Earl of Winchelsea, in
England:
L. The honor of a man does not consist in
his fighting or not fighting duels The men of
honor in Europe have divided opinion On this
PoAA, COIL party respecting anu paying ueler-
ence to the convictions of the others.
z. A man of honor never uses what is term
ed Billingsgate language.
8. A man of honor never strikes or deals in
blows. In England and France, he is permit
ted to touch the party he desires to insult with
his glove or rod. In Russia, Prussia, Austria,
and Poland, even this is forbidden, for fear it
