SPEECH OF Mr.. MOTLEY.
LIVERPOOL, May 3f.-Mr. Motley received
the addresses of the Chambers of Com
mercc at his hotel this morning. In his re-
ply to that Of the American Chamber of
Commerce he returned thanks for the wei
como he had received as the representative
OF the United States. He said the earnest
hope and chief wish of President Grants
administration and of the people of Ame-
rica was to cultivate faithfully friendly and
equitable relations with the Government and
people of Great Britain. The happiness Of
the world, advancement of civilization, and
best hopes of humanity, depended on the
concord OF all branches of the human family,
especially on that Of the two leading ma
tons, both connected by public and per-
Sonal interests, allied by blood, addicted to
commerce and the cultivation of the arts Of
peace.
Mr.. Motley concluded as follows: "My
most strenuous efforts shall be devoted to
further good understanding, on the basis of
enduring friendship and kind relations. in
accordance with the great principles of JUS
tlcc and honor, which are the immutable
and only safe and uncrring guides in the
conduct of nations.'
In answer to the address of the Liverpool
Chamber of Commerce, Mr.. Motley cx-
pressed his high appreciation Of their
friendly sentiments towards America, and
assured them that during the period of his
Office he should cndcavor to promote good
understanding between two nations of the
same race, and bound by unity of interest
hitherto unequalIcd. The best and highest
purposes of both were fulfilled by faithful
friendship. The American people and Gov
eminent desired amicablc relations with
Great Britain on the basis of Justice and 4
dispassionatc regard for the rights and du-
ties of both. 1t was the earnest wish of
America to extend commerce, but the qIles-
ton of free trade was beyond the limits of
his functions, its settlement being vested by
the people in Congress.
