Now, do say 'that,- in foirriessawhen the
authorities of tile United Stities see *number
of shipe that come in some way or oth firm
EngliSh ports and Etigish rivers,. and that
their commerce suffers very grieviuuely from
it -I do Say th.it it is natural that they should
feel iriitlion. But they ought at ttie same
time certainty to ask tir:s qu •sttott-- whether
her Mrijesiy's Government have done evety
thing•which the law of nations authorizes,
and the innnicipal law of this coutary permits,
to prevent tins eountry otorg made the basis
of war le opet.ittiniiik, so as to involveusit* a
warwith the United States. 1 dunot teal at
itI surprised that the •Government of the U.
States should be autioyed rind feel deeply that
tape who are the friends of ,those States
should have their territories made the basis
of these operations. So again with regard to
Cattacla. The noble earl seems to imagine
- that the United States, without any reason
wbatever, but from mere hostility, as he
called it, against this country, had denounced
that usettil convention with *rezard to the
lakes. Bet the case was this: --The Conferi-
eine Government, apparently determiaecl, if
possiele, to involve this coantry,in war, find
ine their owl* resources not Sufficient to ca ry
0 . .
on a successful war,. sent ,,persOnti int° the
dres, Which are not in tae temtederate terri-
tory, which are no part of our territory, but
which belong either to the United States or
to tfie United. Kinedone. ef Great 13ritain-
they sent agents into those territories to seize
slaps tbet were navigating the lakes, with a
view to take' poseessioneby tome or men or
war and other ships belonging to the Unitrd
States, and to set free prisoners' of Oar ia
those States.' I say again itis not wo.nderful
that_the ended States, -considering the Cana.
distil lakes the possession of a sovereign
friendly' to them, should be indignant When.
they Mend that .operations ot War were car-
ried onin those. lakes.- Well, they adopted,
a mode which again I think•W.I3 not unnatu-
rad. They say that .if they rentairi 'in those
do Great Britain hersela. "witheut letititnate
aroulds. With reg,nid to the confederation
it says :--!" A lew•Jears since isolation would
not h:ive been felt as an- evil, and respoesi-
bility Would have been dreaded us a burden.
'Security would have been thou4ht complete
,without union, and the strength mid stabi,ity
of he empire ' Woutd have been the subjectof
as illicit hostility as aood-wiehes; But those
times are pest, and tne rearms tweed by the
Goeernot-General will have their full tfeight
