© KFICIAE . PAFEBS ON THE AMERICAN QUESTION . Further papers relative-to recroiting in the United States we » presented to Parliament on Thursday . They include Mrs IftecyJs- despatch communicating the fact of the dismissal' of- the British Minister and the British Consuls , and the affidavits which accompanied the same ; a letfrf from Mn Cranqpton . to . the Earl of' Clarendon , datedi Iiondon , June 19 ; a memorandum by- Consul-Barclay , containing a denial of Mr . Marcy's chasges ^ ipsissimis - verbis ; correspondence of : Consul : Matbew with * Mr . Marcy and with the Earl of Clarendon ; and , finally , Earl Clarendon's
replyto Mt . Marcy . In the last-named paper , the English > Eoreign Minister states that he cannot see in the documents forwardedby-theAmerican Government * any . reasons for disereditiBg : the assurances' of Mr . Cramptonand the consuls . Onthe contrary , he thinks the ; President-must have been " misled by erroneous information * , and by the testimony of witnesses unde ? - servings of' beliefs" He cannot but consider the . dismissalofsthe . English representatives as an " unfriendly " acti ? ; " but , in the : present case , her Majesty ' s Government are bound- to aecept the formal and : repeated declarations of the President of his belief that' these
officers- of her Majesty have violated the laws , of the Union * and are on that account unacceptable organs of communication with the - Government and authorities of the United States ^ " Her Majesty , thereforej will not be advised to suspend diplomatic intercourse with the American Government ; Mr . Crampton writes that ; if the alleged : acts of violatiottTon his part of the American municipal laws . " are acts by which persons : were informed of -where and-, on ; what terms they w » uld ; b& received into her Majesty ' s service on British territory , or by which aid and assistance was afforded to them to reach that country , I do not deny thati acts of that sort were authorized by me ; but I maintain that such acts were neither illegal nor a violation of the sovereignty of the United States . As to
invitations or inducements , I never oflfered them to anybody , altfaaugbriti appears that I- might legally have done so . " The affidavits he describee aa" -a , tissue of falsehoods . "A despatch from Lord Clarendon to Mr . Marcy , on the Central American question , dated June 26 th , has also been published . His-Lordship still contends for . the merely prospective interpretation of the Clayton * -Bulwer treaty ; : asserts * the right of England to occupy the Bay Islands- ( which she has done since 1839 ) ; and admits that she lays no claim to any possession or territory on the- Mosquito coast , and could not , without violating the treaty : of r 1850 , hold San Juan de Nicaragua , or any other ; point in Central America . Her Majesty ' s Government' is ; equally desirous with the President to enter into communications , with a view to a friendly
settlement :.

EHTBY OF CRIMEAN TROOPS INTO LONDON . In answer to Mr- Noel , Lord Paxmerston said that no slight was intended with respect to regiments of the line coming from the Crimea , by confining the triumphal entry of troops into London to the Guards ; the latter ¦ were chosen solely because they composed the garrison of London , and it would not be convenient to bring other troops to town .
APPELLATE JURISDICTION OF THE HOUSE OBT LORDS . In answer to Mr ; Raises Cukrie , Lord Palmebston said that the above bill was-no more a compromise . than other-measures .

House of Lords should be reformed , . that he should support it with all the power of the Government . —Mt Disraeli protested ' against the notion of the support by hist party of
this bill being the resolfc of & compromise .

^ A NAVAL WAR . It was a Greek saying , that \ re injure our enemies because it is pleasant , and our friends because it is easy . There are persons who imagine that it would be easy to injure America ., and who are , half unconsciously , inclined to a war that would measure the limited forces of the Union against the incomparably superior armaments of Great Britain . We do not care at present to ascertain how far the triumphant parallel might be carried ; but there are some considerations connected
with the recent policy of England , which ought not to be kept ooit of view when the idea of a . naval war is present , in ; many minds . By the joint declaration of England , France , Russia ,. Austria , Prussia , Turfcey , and Sardinia , at Paris , privateering is abolished , the neutral flag is allowed to cover enemy ' s goods , the privilege of establishing paper blockades is surrendered ; These points are familiar to
the miblic . But has the public familiarized itself with the inevitabla influence of such changes upon the next naval war in which England may find herself engaged ? The American Government adheres to the principle that free ships make free goods , that neutral goods , are free in enemy ' s vessels , and that blockades to be binding must be effective ; but . in the event of war , the whole advantage of these provisions would be on tho side of America , while America evinces no disposition to surrender tho right of privateering . .
_ _ _ _ Since the foundation of tlio Union the American Government have always maintained and sought to incorporate in tho public law of nations the principle that tho neutral flag covers the cargo , and that blockades to be binding must bo ollVctivo . Tho disagreement of Great Britain and tho United States on these questionsled mainly to the war of 1812 . American ships had
been confiscated for carrying produce to French ports , or French property to neutral ports . Blockades had been established over many degrees of latitude , with scarcely u » mp or . a gun to enforce them , and vessels venturing within the interdicted limits woro liable to seizure ; tho right of search was cnlorced to an oxtent that exasperated the commercial classes in America . Groat Britain did not ,
upon the close of the war , specifically renounce hor protonsions ; but tho Uniteii States invariably denied and resisted t \ nm Great Britain-, in fact , adhojed inflexibly to her old maritime laws , in spito of niauy formidable eiForts on the part of tho continental powers to relax and sot them ftbide .
