menoed hear hear and that In regard to Ireland hard
" month week passes that certain number OF in-
dyduas who have emgrated 20 The United States do not
rs,urn Z, their native land either having sassed what
they consider competency, the other nand having
been Disappointed in their expectations u was not for us
70 ndge beforehand whether considerable number OF
Germans would be willing TO enlist and oFqsrh were
thereioe given 70 establish recruiting depot within our
proyneeh with instructions that any persons capable
o. sorsee VINO might present themselves ior ensnsnt
should be enrolled AT the time strict and specific
orders given that nothing should be done which
shoad infringe the municipal regulations Of the States
or violate the law of the Union Several hundreds OF
Gerraaus Halifax and enlisted and on them
are nov In this country. Her Majestys government
however, very found that il would be exceedingly
difficult, Ia carrying this enlistment, TO avoid that
which might o1once TO the American gosernment
and being anxious that nothing should occur which
could give nnbrage 10 the United States we issued or
dos that these proceedings should be entirely dscoun
ued Hear, hear Soon afterwards an official representa-
on made by the government OF America complaining
Of the enlistment The given 10 that was that an
cpatng that they might take umbrage at the proeeedngs
which had been comInenced her Msjesys government had
Of their accord ordered that they should be dsconn
ned In giving this regret for
thing which might contrary 10 our ntentons and nstruc
tons have been done in violation OF their laws though we
disposed think that such violation had occurred
and referred proof Of the sincerity OF such regret To
the fact ha had OF our own accord stopped the pro-
planned. [Cheers The honorable gentleman Mr. Cobdenl
has said that the relations of governments should oe reg
ulated by those rules which apply TO the conduct OF
gentlemen towards each other; and would ask, what
could be more satisfactory as between gentleman and
gentleman than that should say to the other :
thought foresaw that what my servants were doing
might give you for complaints have stopped their
proceedings but nevertheless, they have contrary to
my instructions, done ything with which you have
reason Ito 70 lind fault beg your aW Whn very X sorry
munication to which have referred was made to the
American minister in London he expressed himself sa
fled with the explanation cheers and said that he felt
confident that his would entertain similar
feeling in regard to it, For time we heard nothing
more. Subsequently however complaints renewed,
the aned n
upon this subject Three days before thai on which
Parliament met thought that should be aide to lay
that correspondence the table of the House There
nothing in which could wish to conceal the
trary anxious that it should be in the hands of
members On the very day before the meeting Of Para-
the American minister presented to noble friend,
Lord Clarendon exceedingly voluminous DESPATCH
tanning long recital of circumstances alleged to have
occurred in connexion with this enlistment NIy noble
friend felt that it would he impossible that des
patch in consistent with the respect which
ought to be shown TO the government OF America, and
with due regard to the character Of the British govern
ment without referring TO her Majestys minister at
Washington for a report upon variety OF minute de-
ta upon which the Information possessed b the For
Ra delayed the reply 10 the last despatch of the Amer
government and the matter therefore, stands thus
II the correspondence to be produced II would
end with long paper from the United States government
to which has yet been given because the mate
rails which Rnch must be founded have not yet
been received fCheers II would not be fair 10 the
American government 10 omit from the correspondence
this last paper which they would not have sent had they
!
would not be fair 10 the British government 10 give that
without giving also the reply to it, Hear hear
hope that no long period Of time will elapse before
able close the correspondence BY giving to
that paper and the honorable gentleman and
the house that when that has been done shall be
most ready and most sn1ious to lay The papers upon
the table. Cheersl quito agree With the honorable
member that this matter IS of the utmost importance in
its bearing upon the Interests Of the two countries
fully with him in thinking that there conld hardly
be any conflict between two nations which would be more
lsmentabc and calamtous both than would be
test between ourselves and the people Of America Hear
hearl say, TO both nations because, though should
suffer severely depend upon II that those with whom
deal toe other side 6f the Atlantic would suffer quite
much II wonld indeed be painful if in these days two
tians bound together by many ties OF common origin
sad common interests should 10 war with each oher
without real and unavoidable cause ticar hear
unavoidable lCheers 1 cannot but think that IL
e spirit OF fairness and Cancellation Is .ahbited by
both parties an adjustment Of the difference may be
nations. Cheers can assure the Houss that the
part Of ber Mscsy government nothing consistent with
due regard for the honor and character of this country
which, am sure ne one would wish to see dsrecarded-
ahall be omitted 10 order 10 bring about such result
Nothing that gentleman might do in Of private
honor shall be omitted for hepurpose OF avoiding collision
which would be = reprosch both naiions need ony
add that the correspondence which completed will ay
upon the table and that as soon ss @ Other is concluded
which will trQst be before longit sb II also be laid be-
fore the House lCheers.]
SIR y. l. svANes sprrcH
Sir D. L. Ev.Ss said that after the speech Of the honor
able member for the We Rd;no tbe ronlv of ,be nol
lord must have been hy ard with great satisfaction If in
,ernatonal aAra TO be discussed ia the spirit in
wbc this matte, had been treated by the honorable mem
ber DC han Voh rather leave them in the the
loroBn oiv.c The honorable member had said that we
bad ar,Fed into the with Russia In hs (Sir ID. L.
EvansS opinion, Of that bad been the
rcq mt and deprecation Of hoses and he was
a d that in tho present instance the exaggerated express
srou Of similar feeling would rather encourage party
ng the other side of the Atlantic than conduce lust
and proper settlement of the differences With regard to
the enlistment in the United States he agreed with The
honorable member for the West Riding II most re-
markale and inconsistent proceeding lie had been as
sured good authority that persons of tho highest
spcctabity gentlemen having in the legislature
had offered 90 raise in Canada regiments of 900 men
EACH the Crimeaho only condition that
these regiments ahonld be called the Royal Canadian
Regiments" something Of that lie believed that
Sir Allan MeNah the president Of the council Ia Canada
who was In England at the time had arranged the matter
but at come red-npm OF the Horse Guards in,erposcd
and II wns entirely dropped This occurred several months
men who might thus have been raised within own
frontier that the government persona into the United
States 10 recruit and provoked this absurd and ridiculous
controversy.
The motion for the adjournment Of the House until Non
day was then agreed to.
