In the House of Commons on the 23d, the
subject of the foreign enlistment act was in
troduced by Mr.. Golden, who referred to the
proceedings of the Alabama, Florida and Vir-
ginia, all OF which were built in British ports
for the Confederate service. He said it was
well known that two il on clad ships were now
being built at Liverpool Tor the same purpose,
and he believed if ihey were allowed to leave
England. the result would be a declaration of
war on the part Of the American government
American shipping has almost become value
less In consequence of seizures made by Cor
federate cruisers, and he imploreG the govern
mcnt to take steps to prevent the departure of
the vessels to which he referred. He was in
formed that the American government took
note of the value of the vessels captured, and
debated it to her Majesty's government. He
was further informed that the American min
lister had made formal claim on England to in
demniiy American ship owners for losses sus-
tanned. No doubt the claim was repudisted
by ner Majesty's government, but IL was from
disputed claims OF this nature that expensive
and disastrous wars arose.
Mr. Layard, referring more particularly TO
the Alabama. said everything had been done
in broad daylight. He tainted Mr.. Golden
with pursuing course which. while ii wosld
enable his friends in the North TO get all they
wanted, it would put stop in England to a
Legitimate branch of industry. He accused
the Americans Of having built ships of war
for Russia during the Crimean war, and with
raising recruits in ireland since the outbreak
of the present conflict.
Lord Palmerston defended the course which
the government had taken, and said he could
see no distinction in principles between selling
arms to the Federals and selling ships to the
Confederates. He appealed to the principles
laid down on the subject by the Americans
themselves. 1t was OF course true that Eng
land bad municipal law bearing on the ques-
ton, but government had carried out that law
to the best OF their ability, and that law which
they saw 10 reason to alter to suit the mer-
chants of a foreign power they would contrive
TO enforce so far as ii was possible to do so.
In the House of Commons Lord Palmerston
made some explanations regarding the ques-
ton between Denmark and the Germanic Con-
federation. He said every effort would be
made by England To keep the dispute within
the limits of diplomatic intercourse.
The Times correspondent in the South says,
1t Is the design Of the Confederate government
that Great Britain shall hence forward have
no fresh Consnls ia the Confederate States who
derive their authority from Washington, and
are forbidden to show respect or courtesy TO
the deiaeto government at Richmond.
