The debate arose on motion of the Earl Of Elgin,
which is thus reported in the London papers:

accompanied with some extracts from the speech
The Earl Of Clarendon was opposed to gong into
any discussion Of the at that time, yet felt
lsconstrained in order to prevent Mistakes to make
few remarks He stated that oil the members of the
| English Government were idesirous Of maintaining
the most cordial Relations the United States
i that not, By word Or deed, had the Ministry done
4 ANYTHING to create q just cause Of irritation and
then proceeded to refer to the enlistment difficulties
and the neutrality laws Of the United States which
/ Lord Clarendon thought the English were as much
interested in obeying and respecting as the people of
this country. This was i genteel dig at the fill
clustering propensities of g Young America and
couched in very handsome wordsl Then he pro-
ceeded to argue that if any offence had been com
mtted against our neutrality laws it had been amply
atoned for and that the apology to be received

Well. under the circumstances it mis- ht have been

Pierce to have allowed them to remain in the country
after the proofs of their completely in the enlistment
business had been officially placed in his possession
There is force in this proposition that goes home to
the common sense Of every man.
Lord Clarendon then passed to the consideration Of
the Central American question, and proved conclu-
svely that bis Interpretation Of the CIayto Bulwer

Lord Clarendon, the English people, and the Eng
lsh Government, may rest assured that whatever Of
antiphodal feeling has been manifested in this country
during the Russian war, was brought about-a least
nneteen-twentieths of it-by the insolent and over
bearing tone and manner of English journals and
English officials. If arrangements have taken place,
they have been caused by insult and contumely.
Il AS Lord Clarendon is willing to meet Mr.. Marcy
half way on some island in the Atlantic ocean, and
settle the difficulties between the two countries in
e half an hour,"we propose that Marcy be shipped
forthwith and that no mercy be shown him in case
he returns without full and honorable settlement of
the questions at ISSUE provided Clarendon stands up
to his Offer If Clarendon backs out, let the British
serve him as we would serve Marcy.
Here is q fair proposition! Which administration
