GREAT BRITAIN.
| On the I'd inst, in the House CT Commons Wash
ington Wilkes, the editor who was imprisoned for a
breach OF the privileges of the House. was discharr-
ed, having withdrawn the libellous charges made in
| his journal.
| The bill aboshing the property qualifications of
the members of Parliament was passed through com
| mittee.
Mr.. Distract, in reply to question, said there
had been no rupture OF the negotiations which had
been opened with the Emperor of China On the
contrary, what the Emperor had done was this:
| lie had not sent to Lord Elgin ut Shanghai,s but
had sent message requesting Lord Elgin to meet
| had then gone North lie could not Law Lord
| ElgIn's instructions on the table, because as we
were acting with allies it would be announcement to
| the public service.
Mr.. Fitzgerald stated that Mr.. Tuin. a foreigner,
had been appointed British Consul at Mobile solely
on the ground of public service to Great Britain
although certificate of naturalization had been
| refused him in England.
In the Commons variety of questions were put
| to the Government.
Mr.. D'lsraeli, in responce to enquiries BY Lord
John Russell as to affairs in China said it was i'm
| possible for him to afford any fresh information
| upon the subject. The present Government had
| extended to Lord Elgin the same wide discretion
given him by the former government, but they were
not aware OF his motive in proceeding to the North
ward after he had been invited by the Chinese GOV
eminent to repair to Canton, and what demands he
| had required from the Chinese government they
| could not saw '
Mr.. Bright remarked that the original question
concerned only Great Britain, and the power of the
country was amply sufficient to vindcate its honor
without entanglng it in complicated relations with
France, Russia and the United States He STRONGLY
urged the Government to bring the matter to n
| speedy termination. England was now at war with
one-half the human race. and had fifteen thousand
men and seventy ships in China, and he doubted
whether the operations would be attended with tbe
| slightest benefit to trade
| Sir j. Packington said it was intended to reduce
The force IN the East at the earliest practicable mo-
ment.
Mr.. Horstall asked whether the Government had
any information of the arrest of Capt Judkins of
the Persia, at New FORK.
BRITISH AGGREssIoNs
Mr.. Wilson also asked whether there was any oh
lectons to lay upon the table the correspondence
between the British Government and that of the
United States respecting the slave trade
Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald replied that the Govern
ment had received no official information of the ar
rest of Capt. judkins. With regard TO the Other
question, the American Government had made grave
charges against certain British officers but no off
clal account had been received from those officers
lie could only say that if occurrences such as those
complained of had occurred they would he viewed
with the deepest regret by the Government and i'm
mediate explanations given. The fullest inlorma-
ton should be laid before Parliament as early as
possible. Meanwhile, he had only to add that Or
ders had been sent out to the officer in command of
the squadron in the Cuban waters to make every in
qury into the subject and that the greatest caution
and forbearance should be exercised towards vessels
bearing the American flag.
The London Times in a leader on the SEARCHING
OF American vessels reterates its objections AGAINST
the policy OF maintaining squadron which has
proved so Intellectual for the end in view II saws
whatever the right of the case and however far
Americans may be ready to go at present in COM
plIance for peace sake, cannot but look forward
to a day when it will be more dsagreeabe and at
the same time more unnecessary, for the Americans
to submit and still greater let down for orr pride
10 give way. After passing some censurc upon the
apathy OF the American Government in the sun
preston OF the slave trade, it concludes rs follows
We do not compel her to the virtue she has not
Before very long the mere attempt must brinp on a
fearful war. Is there no such thing rs giving up n
crusade which began with error, has been OPTIONAL
and is found to he Intellectual?
Is nothing to be surrendered except after tho loss
OF 1000 lives on both sides and thirty millions of
money? Is there no other use equally benevolent
to which we could put the half million and yalua-
bic lives annually sunk in those squadrons?
In the city article of the Times some reflections
are made on the same suhjec and it is asked whcth
err, supposing America to be unwilling to find sbins
Tor the slave trade if there mirht NOT he an orrno
men! mace Tor one or two American officers to be
received as permanent guests on board British YES
sels, while serving on such duties and for all
searches to be conducted under the auspices of such
American officers. " 'o"
The Daily Ne,os' editorial on the same srbects 20
gards the allalr as dSagreeabc one, but thinks il
Is premature to Jump at conclusions without bearinn
both sides OF the question 1t discredits the repor
made al by some of the American captains
The same paper draws a contrast between the serf
opHf IL
OF America, and incidentally reviews the career of
lourquenef and Edward Everett, upon the latter of
whom it casts some bitter reflections "
The London Post thinks if iniurv has baep enc
tanned England cannot refuse the reparotion do
manded by Cass and calls for such orbearance in the
matter complained of as will not endanger the
friendly relations between the countries
The London STIR thinks the danger is imminent
unless the British Government reccde from its nm
tenable position
