In the House of Lords the address in reply 10 the
Throne was moved by the Earl Of Cork, ard second.
cd by Earl Cowper.
EARL OF CORK on THE ALLIANCE WITH THE oSI-
TED STATES.
The EARL OF CORK said-Ths first paragraph
which called for congratulatlon was that in which her
Majesty informed them that she had been engaged in
negotiations with the governments OF the United
States and Honduras, which she trusted would De sue
eessful In removing all cause Of misunderstanding
with respect to Central America. After the differ
epces which had threatened to disturb our amlcuble
intercourse with the American government, their
lordships must rejoice that the impending miSunder.
standing had been averted, and that there was every
prusp.rt of a successful issue to the negotiations an
nouueed, which would cement our friendly ttes WIN
that great nstion-Rprung from the same origin as
ourselves, speaking our language, holding many OF
our opinions, and connected with whom so many oil
our interests must ever remain bound up. (Heer,

EARL cowrER's CONGRATULATIONS OF THE SAME
SUBJECT.
LORD CowpEa obssrved-lt must have been ex.
tremely gratifying 10 theis lordships to learn that the
relations with the United States. which last year
seemed in danger Of being broken of for some time,
had been renewed.
EARl OF DERBY ON THE MOSQUITO ISDIASs-THE
DALLAs-CLARrspoS TREATY.
EARL OF DERBY said-There ia another point
which | trust is on the eve OF satisfactory solution
| mean our differences with the United States with
regard to Central America. Beyond the engage
ments we have undertaken towards certain Indian
tribes, we have few interests peculiarly our own 10
maintain in that quarter. 1t la, however, u matter OF
importance to a great commercial people IKE TINS,
and to the world at large, that the neutrality OF the
line Of communication across the Isthinu. cf Panama
should be faithfully preserved. Our only Interest ~

EARL or CLARENDON ON THE HONDURAS RAILROAD
THE cEssIoS OF RUATAH.
EARL OF CLARENDON said-With respect to the ne.
gotiations with the United States aud Honduras, think
the noble earl has rather over stated the difficulties
which may lie in the way Of q thorough settlement Of
the matters in dispute. There is no reason to doubt
that the objects Of the treaty will be realized, and
that thew will fulfil all the points to which the noble
earl has directed your attention. Your lordships
will fnd that all the engagements which we are oound
10 maintain will be maintained, while all the rights
which Honduras possesses will be secured to that
state. The two treaties are III no way connected
with each other. That with the United States merely
has reference to the dispute with respect 10 Inc pro
lection of the Mosquito territory. Ruatan, which
was supposed to belong to Honduras, we have made
over to that State for the purpose of increasing
IN. facilities for the construction OF a rail road, when
I believe will be the best mode OF establishing
! communication between the two ooeans. On ooth
sides of the Isthmus there are magnificent haroors,
aud no doubt all the powers who would avail them
selves of his communication would have taken ex-
ception to any arrangement by which an island al
| most at the entrance to it, should have been left in
the hands OF any one Power. II has been placed under
tis euzerain,y of Honduras, without her having the
power to give it up to any other government
iHesr.I / believe, therefore, that those treaties will
be found fully to answer the purposes which the
governments Of England and the United States had
ia view, and that they will prevent any future misun;
derstandings on this question. (Hear, hear;) will
only add on this point, that I agree with the noble
Earl opposite that We have no interest in Cehtral
America beyond that of possessing a free transit
across the Isthlnus, and | cannot see any reason why
upon that question (. ere should in future arise any
| difficulty bs,ween US and the United States. (HeaT,
