The United States in the British Par,
lament.

ngpf the British Parliament. on the 31st, Earl
dosoFd moved an address in reference 10 the
Qaeeh's speech, which was secondee by Lord
Abingdon. The Earl of DERBY did not oppose
the motion, but said that he considered the row.
al speech as very bare, cold and meagre. He
thought II ought to refer TO the state OF affairs
with America, India and the Colonies, as we'll
as in relation to The fall of Kars. He conceiv-
ed that the government he'd violated munich
pal law Of the United States, in the attempt 10
enlist men, and hoped an apology would be of.
fered such as could be received. lie regretted, |
however, that there was not conciliatory para
graph introduced into the speech referring to
the subject. The whole speech, he said, was
redolent of water cruel. The Earl of Caren-
don replied by referring to the present relations
with the United States. He said, in his opin-
ion there can be no doubt as to the common
sense view of the obligations of the Clayton
B"lwer Treaty, and yet it is upon the nterpre-
tation of that treaty the difference of opinion
has arisen. In such case correspondence was
USELESS and he lost no time in offering to refer
the whole question to the arbitration of third
power. both sides agreeing to the decsion.-
That offer has not been accepted, but it has
been again renewed, and he hoped, upon further
consideration, the United States government
will acquiesce. With respect to the recruiting
difficulty, 1t would not have added friendly
solution to allude to it from the throne, mas
much as the correspondence upon the subject
continues. The most recent demands of the
of the United States, arrived but two DAYS pre.
vlously, and were not yet in state to be made
public. The EarPs explanation of the origin
OF the trouble was this: At the beginning of
the war, numerous foreigners, in the United
States, applied TO the British government for
permission TO join the army of the East. In
consequence, instructions were sent to the Gov
eminent of Nova Scotia to consider whether
persons from the United States could be receiy.
ed at Halifax. These instructions were noti-
lied to Mr.. Champion, who was at the same
time informed, that anxious as England was for
recruits, she was still more anxious that there
} should be no violation of the muncipal law OF
the United States. An agency Office was &C.
cordingiy opened, and upon complain: being
! made, Mr. Champion desired that it miuht he
made public that the British Government die
not recruit soldiers in the United States, anC
he made known his instructions to Mr.. Marcy
who expressed his satisfaction after further ex
plantations. He stated that correspondence O

actions referred TO are by-gone transactions
and from the commencement the British Gov
eminent has dlsclaimed all Infringement of tn,
laws Of the United States With the conduc

perfectly satisfied, being convinced that h
