Government had used every effort to
remove the unhappy complicationswhich
have led to suspension of diplomatic
relations between England and Amer-

Lord Palmerston professed himself
unable to give any definite answer. He
could only say, that the American Gov.

the offer of arbitration, and Her Males
ty's Ministers had not thought it ncces-
sary to press for reply.
He thought the interests of the coun.
try, and the permanent maintenance of
amicable relations between England
end America would be promoted by
the continuance Of the judicious forbear-
ance the House had hitherto shown,
that the questions now pending were of
worry grave Characters but he siucere-
ly hoped and not without good reason,
that the discussion may terminate peace
ably.

a war with America, still dou BITS begin
to arise in many minds whether Esg-
lands conciliatory department has not
been carried quite as far as prudence
