An unhappy difference has arisen between tie govern

their own.

be conducive to pubic interest"
The publ, beog thss kept ia the dark, II may be ad
vsnayeous to encesvor to throw light the pre-
sent s,ate OF Affairs.
The war with Russia, The proposition for the foreign
enlistment bill, tho opposition to that is hoAl
eractment and the discussions questions relative to
the rights Of neutral nations all too require
seg forth here. II Is therefore proposed the
question Of the relations between ths two countries
chiefly regarcs what has recently been said by no
great auth ririss-Icid Clsrenoon and ths Times.
The United States complain that their municipal law
has been violated by The Dmens Of eat Britain.
Grea. Britain replica, that although it may bs true
paint yet tcat Immediately it Becoming known thsy,
The hush gave instiuctins 70 taer sgeats
rise such complaint; had assured the Anne icau gov
eminent that they des cd above al aings espect che
laws Of America, an had expressed in the fullest way
their regret that any cause Of complaint had arisen
The English governmsn. have declared that beyond
this It Ia Inconsistent with the cigny aud tia honor OF

fuencing the Presidential cleo n that government is
endeavupg to zip up an old grievance AMI 70 make 20

try to uphold them in the course they bsve taken. !.
That support they certainly will not fail 10 obtain If

Hence the ut cessity for inquiry into facts.

This meaese statement renders it necessary to narrae
more clearly what has occurred.

the rCvei ulDent of Great Britain.
In rp'y TO thtlr remonstrarce Lard Clarendon sentS
despate u rough the Ame,icsn Mciser here expressing
thegreat Iegre; felt by his government that
should have been given for such complaint stating that
had been throughout desired do nothing that could in
any way re construct an Infringement American
law; that the rctest crdsrs In cenform nifty had been
cent to representatives. and agents in the United
States. ....,.
Then this nothing could be apparently more honora
bic to Great Britain or more satisfactory :, the United
States.
Complaint was mado Of grievance aud apology
promptly teLdored.
psn snd the receipt OF the apologize despatch, nav
stsre sf things hsd arisen.
Certain proc ecuona had been instituted in the United
States courts Of law against the minor Offenders In This
matter-,he cim2s VINO had actually taken part in
phia il was cor pr we'd re shorthand spor Of
uial Of Hcrtz that the first attempts at recruiting hal
osen mae IL an epsn und gnised way by Aoye,ti.e.
rbst STRANGE being made to Mr.. Champion, he
bad waited Mr. Marcy ard rendered Nun satisfactory
This the exps ton referred to 10 Lord Csrensons
speech Of Jan. ~, 1861
rnst thereon Mr. Champion proceeded to HALIFAX
where be tummoned his various recruiting agents to
meet him.
ott els, he procesee to deyi.e expressly for
evsdrg the laws Of the United states sgsins enlistment
rbat with this view ia aedlin to various verbal
mrncaons he ms rucons In whiting (producsd
the uia) as TO how those laws were to re evaced.
He particularly dwelt the necessity of doing nothing
and be supplied bi. recruiting agents with tsle
graph; cypber preduced in court on the for tie
Washington without the contents Of the cespat hes be-
irg ineligible to the Telegraph authorities.
When II thus became known to the American govern
mens snd beyond doub BY the recorded proceedipgso
one Of their courts Of justice thai Mr. CHAMPION after
apparently candid explanation VITA Mr. Marcy left
the Tilted States and proceeded Governors
two Of negnhong Colonies the express purpose

If we compare this coEeuct with that Of the King Of
Prussia who recently, for much less gave tfes n.

must Dc acnited that the Charge OF UNUSUAL harfhnes
