Mr. Mason said the statement Of Lord Ch iIuVn d IN ~
the British Parliament in regard 20 this matt, uau ~
Gently been received in the English papers, an unes'
the American side of the argument was lkewl 0 auo
known the community wouG be misled. IL was .1.ie 1 .
fore important that all the correspondence sh, uiu a'
once be made public. -.
Mr. JAMES concurred in the opinion Of the Sc ia'or
from Virginia. ;.
since the late accident not only agreed heartily a
every word which Mr.. Mason uttered, but would 20
further than he had. He Mr.. Cass would not ha l.
tate to say he never saw statement so utterly coA
trary to fact as that of Lord Clarendon. He lCsss
showed from the evidence on the trial OF the British
agents for violating the Neutrality laws that the conf
pety of the British Government could not be sues
cessfnly denied.
NJ CASS considered that paying the passage Of
men to Canada and then enlsting them psipaole
violation of our Neutrality laws.
Mr.. YULEE inquired of Mr. Mason whether it was
true as stated in the speech of Lord Clarendon, that
the British Government had offered TO submit the set
ement of the controversy with regard to the nterpre
ation of the Cayon-Bulwer treaty to the arbitration
of friendly Power
MI MASON.-If any such offer has ever been made
officially, am ignorant of ii.
Mr. CRITTENDEN thought the British Govern

of it, when il acknowledged its error, declared it un
Intentional and promised that it should not again
occur. He understood that the British
Government was apprized OF the dissatisfaction OF.
this Government account of the recruiting opera
tons, the work was promptly desisted from. This
was the highest satisfaction for such injury and
further apology ought to be demanded
Mr.. MASON said that Whatever might have been
the statements made across the water at0nement-
has been offered by the British Government for its yo-
aton of our neutrality laws. He thought that when.
the correspondence called for should be laid before
the Senate, Mr.. Crttenden would find he had made
hi, leap before be had gained the stile
Mr. fIAMLIN inquired whether Mr. Buchanan had
not expressed himself satisfied with what Lord Ciar.
? endon fad said in explanation of this matter.
Mr. MASON replied that he was not familiar with
the whole correspondence; but, If Mr. Buchanan ever
EXPRESSED himself satisfied with the course Of the .
British Government. 1t was done under misappre-
hension of the facts.
Mr.. CRITTENDEN thought it might appear thst +.
Mr. Buchanan had made leap in the dark. He hoped.
Messrs. TOUCEY and RUsK deprecated the dis;
cusson of the subject previous to the official nforna
ton being placed before the Senate.
Mr. JAMES (R. H. ssid the time would come when-
all the facts concerning matters at issue between the
| two countries would he made known. We have ful-
inflammation "a TO the Central American question but
that relating TO the enlistment OF soldiers should en-
gaze the grave consideration of Congress IL should
be known that the British declaration Of war against
! Russia bears date Westminster, March 20, 1884. oa
the 2Ist of April Mr. Champion, willis announcing this
fact to our GoyeInnsnt coupled it With the osncialI
| declared hope that our Government would MAINTAIN a
strict neutrality the sea- not permitting pTVa.eo n
10 be fitted out to depredate on BI.tlah coulleu e.
Mr.. Marcy. in reply, April 2s, assured Mr. Crampi Oh
that should preserve strict neutrality, not MY
preventing the equipment Of prvaseeTs to act on mt
irh commerce, but 20 prevent meh Delns eei7ts %
.,rye in the Eur)p war-our neutrality app ying

naval equipment 10 favor Of hassa ples"sa ed, he
rfves.els would be no violation of he draty
laws than the enlistment OF men for land service.
Mr. Marcy could net have believed thet hlle Mr..
Champion ella ned that neutrality should be inforced

Mr. JAMES said he world have ,he remIindel Of
bis speech published. II contains statemcnts desred
from Official sOurces, showing thai England was spiRy
! Of bad faith 10 the enlistment question.
| Mr.. Mason's resolution was adopted.
On motion the considerations of the Presoea,s
Special Kansas Message was resumed and
NJ JONES Tenn said he had lstezed with
| Measure to the discussion whether Mr Cramptoa
.bsad be recalled or not, aud what measures should
be taken to heal the wounded dignity of this country,
and he would -ay that be would rather enter into
conflict with England or any three Of tie great Pow
ers of Europe than TO have conflict among ourselves
Such conflict Ugh. come in consequence OF disturb
ances in Kansas. Many Of the Objectionable portions
of Mr. Wilson's speech had been modfed IN PRINT, and
the most Objectionable remarks OF al had been ent.y
omitted He was glad TO see shis for il gave HIN
reason to hope that the senator from &ssss- ss
cbusetts vas not altogethc< beyond redeaPt@"., 10
All the trouble in Kansas he'd grown out OF tAe NOR

pleased 10 cal the extension OF Slavery. Attempts
had been made TO prove ha. these disturbances weie
