ENGLAND.
a discussion is progressing in Parliament in rela-
ton to petition from Jamaica touching the Span
sh slave trade. 1t contended that the threat
ening aspect of affairs occasioned by the long
continued failure of Spain to fulfill her treaty obli-
| cations.
Earl Mamesbury said that from n conversation
with the American Minister, there every rea-
son to believe that some understanding would be
had for clearly verifying the nationality of vessels
without riskng breach of international law. He
also referred to the support given by England to
Spain in resisting the policy of the United States
for the annexation of Cuba but said that if she still
persisted in the slave trade, it highly probable
that England would exchange her present relations
OF amity with Spain to indifference.
Earl Gray thought that France and the United
States were solely responsible for the renewal of
the slave trade. With regard to the international
law, so far as he understood it, American vessel
filled with slaves might leave the Coast of Africa
without England being able to interfere, notwith-
standing perfect knowledge of her character.
Lord Aberdeen followed, endorsing this definition
| of the effect of the international law.
| Lord Malmesbury also said that if Spain would
at once give up the slave trade, and convert Cuba
into colony for employing free African labor the
desire which many persons in the United States had
| expressed to annex the Island would be removed
! Lord Brougham supported the petition from
Jamaica, and condemned the policy of Spain.
Earl Malmesbury deeply regretted that the effort
OF England to suppress the slave trade had been
seconded by other nations. With regard to the re-
cent unhappy differences he had admitted to the
American government as question of international
| law, that England not entitled to insist upon
the right of Search but had also put it strongly to
! the American government, whether they would
continue to permit their lag to be prostituted to
the worst of purposes, and he had urged the neces-
! sity OF ocean police, and that understanding
should be come to between the different maritime
nations, which would enable the nationality of YES
sells to be clearly verified without any danger of a
breach of international law. With rega d to SPAIN
1t was notorious that the moral support which she
had hitherto received from England had materially
aided her in resisting the wishes of the United
States to annex Cuba: but if she still persisted in
supporting the slave trade, it highly probable
tldI lne present relations OF England to Spain
would be changed from amity to Indifference
In the House of Commons, further debate took
place on the India resolutions, when it was agreed
that the government should withdraw the remain
ing resolutions and introduce regular India bill
which was forthwith done, and the debate was fixed
for the following week.
Mr.. Barl,ely asked whether, seeing that the ma
rines and small armed men of the American navy are
armed with breech loading rifles, by which a man
can fire three times for one by his opponent with
the old weapon, any steps had been taken to place
the naval forces of Great Britain on an equality.
Sir j. Pakington said that the trials were 90
ing on and that when the result was ascertained
measures would be adopted in accordance with
them.
In the House of Commons on the 18th, Mr.. Fitz-
gerald in reply to an inquiry whether the plenipo-
tentiaries to China had been restricted in their
powers, said there truth in the statement to
that effect. The plenipotentiaries had full discre-
tlonary powers to negotiate at Canton or Pekin or
proceed NORTH as they thought fit.
A debate then took place on the embroplio with
the United States
Mr.. Fitzgerald in reply to Mr.. Bright stated
that the government had received no further infor-
nation in regard to the altered outrapes II
was quite possible that the commanders of soma
vessels had exceeded their duties and if they had
the government would be ready to make an annie
ana i frank acknowledgment. It was obvious that
| exaggerated. In proof of this he read several
cases, and added that the American flag had been
| abused by those who were not Americans for the
confidence
when the circumstances were known, and when the
disposition OF tins country known, all the diff.
culties would be amcablv arranged The govern
ment, acting under the advice of the crown LAWYERS
had given up the right of search and of visit in
time of peace, but the government had invited
America to join in maintaining an ocean police 1t
was under consideration whether the squadron
| should be withdrawn from the Cuban waters and
replaced on the coast of Africa, and stringent in
structons has been sent to commanders of Cruisers
en!oining the strictest prudence and caution.
Mr. nh,.nI ~ a..
gerald most conciliatory and satisfactory but the
disposition had not been initiated by America
| The language used in the American Congress was
| unworthy OF great country. They had always
| assumed that England wished to insult them but
he hoped they would learn that she had no such
| desire.
Lord John Russell said if the government con-
Quoted the affair in the temperate spirit manifested
by the Under Secretary there could be no doubt
that the House of Commons would hesitate for
moment to give them its support
| Lord Pamerston said the cruisers had been sent
into the Cuban waters in consequence of the wishes
of Parliament, and of Populations to the govern
ment, and also in compliance with the wish of the
American government themselves. He hoped her
Majesty's government would urge the American
government TO send out cruisers to prevent the
| abuse of the flag of the United States which had
been the cause of the difficulty.
Mr.. D'lsraeli said that the best dispatch that
could be sent to America the calm and dispas-
sionate spirit in which the House of Commons was
| discussing the question. He added that the Amer
lean government had been invited to engage in
measures to protect each country against abuses of
its flag. He had confidence that the existing mis-
conceptions would speedily disappear. He was not
annoyed at American ships of war being sent into
Cuban waters, because they would there see for
| themselves what had taken place.
The subject was then dropped.

trade attracts the general attention of the press
The London Times says:-''At the present time it
is evident that the struggle against the slave trade
has reached an important crisis. 1t hangs on
