THE AMERICAN WAR IN THE ENGLISH PARLIA'

plies Of the two Houses Of Parliament to 1t. some OF
the orators spoke at length on the American war.
We give the following extracts from the most I'M
portant speeches:
The Earl of Derby-I must turn 10 an other topic
which has engaged the painful attention Of all her
Majesty's SUBJECTS and would say that have no
cause to find fault With the manner in which her
Maiesty's Government has acted IN the desolaLing
warfare that 10 being carried on in the States OF
America. may regrc, that her Majasty's Govern
ment did not accede to the wishes Of the Emperor
of the French and endeavOr 10 use such good ohces

gagged; but before venture to censure, must say
that her Majesty's Government were IN possession

Earl RUSSELL believe Her Maesys Govern

that advice which the Emperor OF the French pro-
posed we should give TO one Of the belgerents; and

Bur recognition takes place under other circum-

failed. Tho American struggle has not nearly
reached that state Of things that struggle 10 different
parts OF America is kept up, will not cay with un-

rancour. Therefore nothing could DO uuwse
