In the House of Commons the discussion on
American affairs on the 10th ult., was interest
ing. Lord John Russell rose to ask explanations
respectine the relations of the Government with
the United States. He said there were too i'm
portant points upon which the House ought TO be
informed:
.Tho first was whether the American govern
ment having desired Mr.. Champion to cease re-
lations with them. it was the intention OF Her
should likewise withdraw. and that thus an end
should be put to diplomatic intercourse between
the two countries. Upon this point, although
Her Majest,'s government, he observed might
have means of Judging not known to the House,
it appeured to him that their conclusion should
be formed in this way:-if they had reason to be-
lieve that the removal of Mr.. CHAMPION was
wanton insult on the part of the United States
government, Her Majesty's government had no

cation with that of the United States; but, fthey
had no such reason not only former examples,
but the peculiar circumstances OF this case, rem
dered il, in his opinion desirable to accede to
the proposition of the United States government
and TO enter into negotiations. The question ut
issue respecting Central America was one of con
siderable difficulty, involving ancient obligations
with certain native tribes and conflicting inter-
pretations of recent treaty with regard to all
which matters it appeared to him that Mr.. Mar
cy had written a very dispassionate despatch,ex-
pressing willingness that they should be made
The subjects of negotiation and even of arbitra-
ton.
ut had been suggested that if Mr.. Dallas re-
ceiyed his passports the negotiations might be
conducted in some other place; but he thought
it not BETTING the dignity of this country,lf we
carry on negotiations with the United States
directly, to do it indirectly and that it would not
| be conducive to good end; the negotiations
could not be conducted then between Mr.. Dallas
and Lord Clarendon. The second point to which
he had referred related to the intentions of the
| Government, whether diplomatic intercourse with
the United States were broken off or not, regard
! ing Central America, where, unless precautions
were taken, accidents might happen and collisions
might arise that would compromise the relations
! betwixt the two countries. He hoped that the
commanders of the ships of war of both States
would receive orders not to allow the miserable
| quarrels in Central America to involve two
great nations in hostilities. which no man in this
country, and he hoped in America. who had at
heart the cause of humanity, of peaceful com
merce and of liberty, could contemplate without
sorrow.
| "Lord Pamerston snd it was perfectly natu-
raj in the present state of the relations between
this country and the United States that the
House should expect, at the earliest possible mo-
ment an explanation of the condition of those re
lations and indeed, if no member had expressed
wish for Information. it would have been the
duty of the government not to let that day pass
without an explanation. The tenor of the des
patches recently received by Lord Clarendon
must be known to every member, although they
had not been laid before the House. as copies of
the answers could not accompany them. He
was, however, ready Ia answer the questions put
! by Lord John Russell. Although the United
States government had thought fit to intimate to
lomaicintercourse with this country; on the
contrary. that despatch was accompanied by an
other, expressing desire TO continue inter-
course through the American minister at his
court.
"ller Majesty's government, after duly con-
siderng the subject had not deemed it to be
their duty 10 suspend diplomatic intercourse with
the Amer lean Minister; and they were prepared
TO enter into communication with him in regard
to the matters in dispute. He assured Lord John
Russell and the House that it was the desire of
| her MHJestys government to avoid any occasion
OF hostile collision, and instructions 10 that effect
had been given TO the commanders Of the naval
! force recently dispatched to protect British in

condition was reason why il could, without de.

"Alr. Dsraeli said he was glad to hear from
Lord l'amerston that, 50 far the government
of the United States was concerned, the denar
lure OF Mr. Champion was not to be regarded as
rupture of diplomatic relations. But al
though the United States government had drawn
a distinction between the conduct of Mr.. Cramn
