lish men, was humiliated at the unaccountable timidity of Government in not making the rights of English merchants respecting, and in protecting English vessels in, their legitimate trade. The mail question. In the House of Lords, on the 24th, Lord Ridesdale referred to Mr. Seward's instructions to the naval officers of the United States cruisers, directing that the mails should not be opened when seized on board any ship, but should be either given up to the Consul of the nation to whould, whatever was the result, be supported by all classes. In reply to Earl Maimesbury, Earl Russell said that he would endeavor to lay on the table the opinion of the law officers of the crown on Monday. In the House of Commons, on the 24th, Lord A. Churchill asked whether merchant ships in the prosecution of a voyage between neutral ports would be legally justified in defending themselves by the use of arms from capture by the cruisers of the Federal States.

on. That permit is granted, and why? Because that ship carried out arms to the Mexicans to be used against our ally, France. --[Cheers.] Since then, other men calling themselves English merchants have applied to the same authority for the same permit. They have been refused because they are Englishmen, and because they are not carrying out arms to aid the Mexicans in the war, though they were trading to the same port. [Cheers.] The permit, I repeat, was refused, and now I must say that Mr. Adams, the American Minister, is the Minister for commerce in England. [Loud cheers.] Sir, I would put it to the noble Lord —— the man who has hitherto shown himself alive to the honor and dignity of England — I would ask him whether the Government of which he is the head has come to any determination in this matter, and if they have, whether he is able to tell Parliament what that determination is? Sir, I know the consequences of the action he may take. It may lead to war, and I, speaking he<

t, and whether he is prepared now to state the course the Government have determined to pursue? [Hear, hear] Lord Palmerston said the House would at once understand, from what had fallen from his honorable friend, that the matter to which his question referred was of the utmost possible importance. All he could say was, that it was receiving due consideration from Government; but he was not prepared at present to state at what result. Her Majesty's Government might arrive. Mr. G. P. Bentinck, at some length, called attention to the correspondence in the Times with respect to the seizure of the Peterhoff, the conveyance of the mails to Mexico, and the conduct of the American Minister in granting permits for the conveyance of arms for the use of the Mexicans against the French. This conduct ought not to be passed over tacitly, but called for a strong expression of opinion from Government. Mr. R. Crawford said that at the proper time lie he was prepared to go into the c
ough in the Government to leave the matter in their hands. With regard to the conveyance of the mails the question had not been fairly represented to the merchants, who had requested that a mail agent should be placed on board vessels carrying mails to Mexico, or that they should be relieved of the obligation of carrying them lest they should be likely to be seized from having hostile correspondence in the mails, and in compliance the Government had relieved them of the obligation. Sir H. Cairns asked if it was to be understood that vessels carrying mails to a neutral port were regarded as liable to seizure on account of the correspondence in the mails? If that principle was to be laid down the mail packet between Dever and Calais was liable to be seized by an American cruiser. Mr. Malins, in common with all English men, was humiliated at the unaccountable timidity of Government in not making the rights of English merchants respecting, and in protecting English vessels in

would rise in his place and say that the pretensions of the Federal Government were unjustifiable. Lord Taunton could not agree in any censure on the Government, which, as long as it pursued the same dignified and prudent course, would, whatever was the result, be supported by all classes. In reply to Earl Maimesbury, Earl Russell said that he would endeavor to lay on the table the opinion of the law officers of the crown on Monday. In the House of Commons, on the 24th, Lord A. Churchill asked whether merchant ships in the prosecution of a voyage between neutral ports would be legally justified in defending themselves by the use of arms from capture by the cruisers of the Federal States. The Solicitor-General said that merchant ships under the circumstances mentioned would certainly not be justified in defending themselves from capture by the use of arms. If any such attempt were made on the part of merchant ships it would expose them not only to capture, but to j

truckled in their answer.--[Cheers.] Another outrage has taken place, and by the same man who perpetrated the insult offered to our flag in the case of the Trent. A vessel leaves the English shore; the honorable member for London, opposite, [Mr. Crawford,] says he has seen her papers, and they are perfectly harmless. She was bound to a neutral port; she was seized by an American man of war, taken into an American port, and the expectations of the English merchant in his honorable trade have bct of the American Minister in granting permits for the conveyance of arms for the use of the Mexicans against the French. This conduct ought not to be passed over tacitly, but called for a strong expression of opinion from Government. Mr. R. Crawford said that at the proper time lie he was prepared to go into the case of the Peterhoff; but after the speech of the noble Lord at the head of the Government, it would be most improper and dangerous, considering the character of the subject, t
States Government either claimed the right of opening and using the mails, or expected that the English Consul should do so, and hand over to them any correspondence which they suspected. He wished to know if it was with these instructions the noble Earl had expressed himself satisfied. Earl Russell, who was all but inaudible, was understood to say that this order had been modified, but that the practice was in a great degree sanctioned by the decision of Lord Stowell. The Earl of Derby said that nothing could be more monstrous than this claim on the part of the American Government; what was still more astonishing was that her Majesty's Government should in any way acquiesce in it. The Marquis of Claricarde hoped the Government would take the matter into their serious consideration. Lord Chelmsford asked if there was any truth in the report that four more British vessels had been seized, as stated in the evening papers. Earl Russell said that Government had re
s carrying mails to Mexico, or that they should be relieved of the obligation of carrying them lest they should be likely to be seized from having hostile correspondence in the mails, and in compliance the Government had relieved them of the obligation.

re British vessels had been seized, as stated in the evening papers. Earl Russell said that Government had received information that vessels had been seized in the act of breaking the blockade. He wished to explain that, in answer to Lord Lyons, Mr. Seward had written a letter to Mr. Wells modifying the instructions issued by the latter to the officers of the Federal navy, and it was to this letter he referred. He would, however, consult the law officers of the crown. The Earl of Hardwick said that the vacillation shown by the Government would, as a matter of course, be attributed to fear. He hoped that the Secretary of State would rise in his place and say that the pretensions of the Federal Government were unjustifiable. Lord Taunton could not agree in any censure on the Government, which, as long as it pursued the same dignified and prudent course, would, whatever was the result, be supported by all classes. In reply to Earl Maimesbury, Earl Russell said that h
a charge on the Yankee race by Mr. Roeback--they are Uncivilized, and unfit to Receive International Court sales. In the House of Commons, on the — thault., Mr. Roebuck said he wished to ask a question of great importance. [Hear, hear] He alluded to the proceedings of an Admiral in the United States service, with respect to an English merchant ship going from an English port to a neutral port. [Hear, hear,] He wished to preface his question with one or two observations. Mr. Knightly rose, amid some confusion, to put it to the speaker, whether the honorable and learned member was not infringing the rules of the House. [Cries of "good" addressed to Mr. Roebuck, followed this interruption.] Lord Palmerston interposed. He said, "May I be just allowed to answer my honorable and learned friend's question?" [Loud laughter.] Speech of Mr. Roebuck. I know the noble Lord is an older man than I am; but still, older as he is, he will not take me in that way. [A la
