eptops and without tbe knowledge OF the British Gov
eminent lCheer Irepest that that explanation, mat
aems nj Of orders revoked, that expression OF regret
not regret the honorable and learned say
that the laws Of the United States bad been Vo'aeu
because we did not believe that such violation nsd
oceurred--but regret that anything should nave &C
curred which could b. considered by the American
Government 10 amount 10 such vlOlatlOn-vas re-
ceyed BY the American Minister at this Cour Win an
expression on his part Of belief that II woui
be deemed satisfactory by his Government. As
nroof that such was hi- belief may mention that
he some time aerwari received dispatch directing
Linn to make second remembrance, and that ne pun
that dispatch into his pocket, and ab-tained non com
rnuncatipg il 10 III. Cove mment, because be oeleyed
that the communication which be had previously lor-
warded 10 biz Government would be deemed s4tisfac-
torv fCheersl Sir am forced 10 make these state
merts premaurely perhaps because they oe!ong 20
part Il the question which cannot be fully explained
ty the extraordinary conduct Of the honorable anu
learned member lCheerl The fact then Il, that
considerable time after our communication stating
that we lad discontinued these proceedings, and ex-
pressing our regret if anything had happened which
was contrary to the laws Of the United States, the
American Government reopened the question, ana
il now stands in the undetermined position winch
have described Under such circumstances It really
i very difficult for person in my situation Ia deal
with an honorable member who pursues such cours-
as the honorable and learned member Mr.. Roebuckl
has adopted lCheer. He knows that this question Is
still pending between the two Governments; he knows
that her Maiesty'sGovernment has received comnun
cation from America, calling upon them 20 90 hingS 70
which zone but the most valid reasons would induce
them 10 CO nsent; he knows that are waiting 10 re-
ceive from officers in America report upon the
| grounds on which those demands are founded; ne
knows that but short time will eapse before that re-
port viii be received, and final answer one way or
other be given these acquisitions; be knows that this
QUE stion deeply concerns the feelings and the
! interests Of two great nations Hear, hear; he
must know that TO tIiie with such feelings anu such
interests Is a course unbecOmng any man who belongs
! o a great national assembly ike this Cheers; ami
vet knowing all this be rushes with hasy lmpatlence
TO nteIpOse between the two Governments, ana, II II
! be possible, 10 prevent that dmcaDe arrangement
which on matters of So delicate nature cannot be-
come 80 unless both Governments are L., to their own
! action without being swayed one way or the other
either by popular camOr or by the expression OF ma
tional feeling These differences which will only
be settled in an honorable way by the two parties
aiming with dispa,sion judgment their respective
cases; yet, in regard to them, the hon
orable and learned gentleman PUSHES with
/ this impatient haste To- deliver himself o.
opinions formed upon imperfect knowledge of the
facts and without the full statement OF the whole case
! between the two countries, of which he might be IN
possession in fortnight or three weeks II indeed so
long time should elap-e before it IL ready; aud, MS
ing in bis place. and holding in bis hand the brief OF
the antagonist OF biz own country lCheers he makes
hin self the mouthpiece of cdumnles wllch have been
uttered by interested parties in the United States
against her Majesty ocers in that country; and, not
content with expressing his opinions, calls upon
the House, fors0vth to pronounce upon facts OF which
they are ignorant, and TO draw conclusions from prem
] y
lCheersl. Sir in this House every man Is master OF
his own conduct Ii is competent for any man to adopt
such a course be pleases. II he Il So deeply m0ued
with the opinion that his country Is wrong TO rse IN
his place and call upon the House TO condemn by anti
cpatIon and without knowledge OF the facts the toy
/ eminent and his country, | am bound to suppose
! that IN doing 80 be acts from motives w9ch
| are paramount to every other consideration,
| and that be believes that in taking that
course he is performing duty to those VINO sent
| him here and Ia his country, All can say i that
neither the spirit party the vehemence OF opposition
| 10 any Government, nor any other motive, would in
| duce me to take pant Of which should feel ashamed
! to step between the House and the facts upon which
an opinion is TO be formed, and 10 CAL upon members
ipnoTantIy and without information To pronounce n
Judgment against my country in matter In which 1t
| is at issue with another Cheers The honorable and
learned gentleman concluded his address with the ex
pre- ssiCn Of feeling which l. entertained by the whole
! country-a serse If calamtes which would arise
| from conflict between this country and the United
State No man can feel that strongly than do.
| will not allow the honorable and learned member
mo n, poly of those sentiments Cheers | will. ven
tuie say that those the feelings of the people OF
this country and that no American can traverse Great
Britain from John OGroat house to the Land send,
nor pass from the northern to the southern extremity
of Ire land without finding that there Is, the part
! of every of information, and OF every man
| who hes the slightest influence upon Others, the
most friendly disposition toward the people OF
America lCheers Ii j., however, one thing 10 enter
tain friendly sentiments toward neghbOrng and kim
dred people. and another to lose that selt-respect
which due to ourselves Cheers. Under clrcum-
stances like these II is Incumbent upon those who are
charged with the public interests to consider, not
whether they feel the most kindly sentiments toward
another country whether the interests OF the two
are equally bound up in the continuance of friendly
telations-l say equally, because let il be clearly
understood that the interest in the maintenance of
peace is perfectly mutual, and that, if to Us war would
be distressing and calamitOus, il would be equally
calanito and distressing to- the inhabitants OF the
United State--bu to consider what the justice of
the case and what is night and betting the dignity
and honor of the country with the interests Of which
they are charged Hear, hearl. am convinced that
this good disposition r,cprocated ON the other side
of the Atlantic, and that, in spite OF what we
| may have seen of speeches which savored but
little of such feeling, the sentiment of friend
ship which prevails in this country il stranger
to the breasts of our American cousins. Not
outstanding these ebullitions, which have, IN my
opinion tendency TO anything rather than the settle
men; of differences hear, hearl, am persuaded that
there is 20 much right feeling in the people of the
United States that they attach much value to the
friendship of the people of this great empire, and that
they are sensible that the interests Of both in
separately bound up with the maintenance of friendly
relations between the two that these matters of differ
ence, when they are laid before the Congress of the
United States they viii be- before the Parliament OF
Gresi Britain will receive the calm dispassonate and
reasonable consideration which IS essential 10 their
amicable settlement, and which will, trust, prevent
any individuals either the sde of the Atlantic
or The other from plunging the two countries into the
calanities of war. Much cheerngl.
Mr.. DIsRAELI-I had hoped, Sir, that | should not
have had 10 address you this most interesting sub
ect Until al the papers relating to it had been laid
upon The table Of the house. have ever felt that in
al cases of this kind where the conduct of foreign
Government i called in question, and especially where
Il is called in question under the circumstances which
appear TO apply the present instance, It is OF the
highest importance that opinion should be expressed
upon in this house until the house has been made
quained with all the particulars of the case, and i. in
