BNGLANp AMP The UNIrED SrATEs.-Ihe fol-
loving debate upon the great questions at issue be-
tween Grea, Britain and this country occurred in
the House of Commons on the l7th OF September.
LORD IoiS RUSSELL said:


The question in dispute between this country
and America does bear in some OF lis aspects
Character which should gladly chansed.-
When nv noble tiend the la;e Secretary OF State
for Foreign Aiiairs offered his opinion on the sub
ject. communications arose between them which
ei, j, clear that the Executive Government OF this
country and the Government of the United States
were ngrec, as to the character and extent oi the
diterqnce subsisiing between them, and sure | am
thar no impartial and intelligent person, looking at
the circumstances of the case, can do otherwise
than come to the conclusion that the matierln Ques-
ten mus, be regarded in the light OF difference
between nation and nation, and IN no respect ci
private WRONG. 1t, however, happened that the
tribunals of the State OF New-l ORR viewed tNe
question in diteren, light; and such view, as II
psrseyered in, could not fail, in my opinion to
prove destructive of all amicabe relations between
Independent countries If questions o. thai nature
TO be left 10 the ordinary tribunals which ad-
minister justice internally amo g,t the subjects or
the citizens of Staje-if the TWO Government. oI
the countries where such unhappy occu"eaces
arise are not 10 settle the matter according TO tie
received principles Of international law then con-
caiye there mast be end TO that understanding
upon hich amicable relations can alone be founded.


have no hesitation IN SAYING, that ii any court OF
law assumes 10 itself the power or the ii gA of deter
mining such questions, proceeding of that sature
must have the effect OF placing the amicable re,-
uo1s previously subss,ing between the TWO countrie.
in the utmost peril Considering, then, that ,hi.
question Is one which ought to be scttle& by the
Two executive Governments and by them alone,
hol4 ii to be highly improper that any thing Of this
ser, should be brought sndcT the decision or CON
sderation Of any Of tbs ordinary tribunals OF either
country. II. at the commencement OF the Spanish
War, Sir Graham Moore-preyious 70 the formal
declaration OF hos,ilincs-had captured, suppose.

wOold be equally as competent 10 the Spas>h tn
oqnas t. consider him amenable TO their authority
and Try him for piracy it was to the New l orN
tribunals to hold British subject onswera5!e 10
,aem for the conduct pursued with reference TO tne
Caroline s,eau,-vessel. Between my noble TREND
,hs late Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and
AF. Webster there happily existed an entire ae'
So'dancs OF opinion to the capture OF the Caio,
cne and am sure tha, the President OF the enited
''ates will see the necessity OF preventing the oc'
VafFence OF similar events in future, 1t there be
