Richmond daily Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1842-1861, 1856-07-17

In a late debate IN the House of Commons on the
questions Of difference between England and the
United States, Mr.. Dsreali made the following
sibe remarks. The course indicated by him, if
adopted would contribute to continued peace and to
the we-being of both countries. There is nothing
in South or Central America worthy Of English
ambition of ours either; but so long as England
shall manifest disposition TO acquire influence in
that quarter, so long will our demagogues, on the
eve of every election, seize hold OF that preeXt
for intiamng the popular passions against England
We had desired the continuance of the war with
Russia with a view to the absorption of the whole
Of the " sick mans" estate by England aud France
in order that both Of those powers might have then
attention diverted from the West and directed to
the East. In ciyzing and Outstanding the rur-
ksh dominiOns they would have found ample occu-
patton for all their resources for the next two
ries As il is there is a wide field for the exercise
of their philanthropy and for the augmentation OF
their power in the East-and We trust they may
look in that direction for many years to come They
will thereby achieve quite much they can
by meddng with the semi-barbarians Of this CONT
nent.
Mr.. Disreali's views are the most liberal and
statesmanke, with respect to this continent we
have ever seen avowed in the British Parliament
After referring to the points in controversy with
us, he said
Whatever may be lis ultimate decision upon these cues
tons wish that the House Of Commons would take Oh is
