Lord PAinxssrOS-N . perfectly natural una. n the

son should avail himself Of the present opportunity TO
regard 70 our present position with the United states
Indeed, sir, IL no honorable member bad expressed
wish to bear such explanation from the government
think II would SUN have been our duty not 70 allow
day 10 pass without putting the House IN possession OF
our Intentions on this subject Hear, hear : IN.

Importance of the subject matter requires should have

in position TO lay these papers officially before Parma

be Observed in the first place, that although tho United
States government Eave thought d. TO intimate 10 Mr.
Champion that they cannot continue their relations with

performing my duty by abstaning on The present occa
from entering INTO discussion beyond this answer
10 the question (IIear, hear) by noble friend has,
however, expressed hope that the Instructions which
her Majesty government have given 10 the naval force
which Gently despatched from this country 81 the
coast OF America are not such as are key 70 bring
and British squadroIs. SIR Can assure my noble friend,
assure the House. that i IS the anxious desire
which might bring about such collision that The
instructions which have been given 10 The com.
%and s,.h a force pSssh subjects and "f
British property; and that there Is nothing N those
Instructions which would tend TO collision between The
British and American forces (cheers) We certainly
did think il right considering the Observation-Disclosures

We may without derogauon from dignity. az, with
campcss, with moderation, and with due delberaton
upon a matter Of such great importance as one which
bears upon the relations between this empire and any
foreign country whatever more especially one between
which and ourselves there are so many causes Of union

and the United States Of America Cheers
Mr. DEiuIl.-Ihe frequent recurrence Of questions Of
this knd-of misunderstanding IN our relations with me

Her Majctys Minister from Washington was glad 20 be
reminded by the noble lord that in so far as the govern
Of tie United States concerned, that could not
be look cd upon . complete rupture or diplomatic rela

at this moment to say that, although The govern.

ton between the conduct Of Mr.. Champion ard the
conduct OF her Msesys government, trust the House
Of Commons will not follow that example Cheers I~a'
