Proceedings in Parliament.
Sir William Harcourt said in the Commons
this evening, referring to the shipment of in
iernal machines from America, that the gov
eminent are employing every means to dis
than nd SCff ba
chimes, having only received warning a few
hours before the steamers arrival at Liver
pool. For the past nine months open threats of
such outrages have appeared in the Fenian
press of America, and subscriptions have been
openly collected for the purpose. He said he
thought the principal origin Of these attempts
at assassination was the press. England had
shown in the case of the Freiheit she was
capable and ready to deal with criminals, no
less in our interest that in that of foreign
states, and it was the duty of every civilized
government to cooperate in putting down with
strong hand these nefarious attempts After
expressing confidence in the good will of the
American government, he said: ut is to their
interest as much as to ours for the danger is as
great to Americans as to Britons crossing the
Atlantic. Her Majesty's government has long
been fully alive to their responsibility in this
matter and confidently count on the support of
Parliament and the country while they en-
ploy every engine of the law and power of the
sasSns.
