1t has been rumored for some tire that the
present federal Administration we're dispasedto
withdraw from the position assumed by Gov.
Marcy in behalf Of the United States in respect
to priyateering and the immunity Of individual
property from maratime seizure. The first au-
thentic confirmation Of that rumor came from
debate in the British Parliament, the report
of which is brought by the steamer arrived Fri
day. Lord Palnerston, in opposition to mo-
ton for the publication Of the correspondence,
said
The resolutions Of the Paris Congress were
communicated by the parties to those resolu-
tions to all the other maritime states, and among
others to the United States of America. The
government Of the United States thereupon sent
an answer TO the French government exactly in
the terms stated by his honorable friend-that
was to Say, they were willing to agree to the
proposition in reference to privateering, provid,
ed private property at sea was no longer to be
subject to capture.
That was the communication made by the last
Government of the United States, and the sub.
iect was one which required the gravest consid'
Grafton on the part of the British Government,
because, whatever might be the opinions which
any gentleman might entertain on this question
at the first blush of it, no one could fail to see
on reflection, that all our great commercial and
| maritime and naval interests we're involved IN IT.
aud that no answer could be given to such a
communication without careful and prolonged
deliberatiOn.
In the meantime, there was a change in the
government of the United States, and before
any answer could be sent to that communicated
by the British Government, the new President
came into office, and intimatior was made B.,
the United States to her Majesty's government
! to the effect that they would not expect an an

that in point Of fact, they desired the matter T.
be considered as suspended. Under these CIR
cumstances, he trusted his honorable friend WOO

e Parliament the communication made by the las
government Of the United States OF the view
they entertain ed of the question now under tn
consideration ofthe House.
