In replying to Lord Lindsay's motion rela-
tive to Mr.. Marcy's letter On the subject OF
privateering, Lord Palmerston said that it
was unusual for the Government to produce
correspondence between other independent
Governments. Mr.. Mareys letter was ad.
dressed to the French Government, and was
not officially in the hands Of the British Gov.
ernment, and consequently could not be pro-
duced. The communication OF the American
to the French Government was made by the
last administration of the United States but
the present administration had intimated that
j; did not wish an answer to it, Under these
circumstances the House would feel that the
question could not be discussed properly
and he therefore hoped it would not be pres
sed.
Lord j. Russell thought the Government
ought to make statement of the grounds on
which the engagement was entered into. lie
was afraid the consequence would prove very
serious, but England was bound to them
now.
Lord Napier thought that the engagement
could not be broken, and would necesaitate
the blockading Of every port of an enemy in
case of war.

ernment would carry out the request.
