He commen- ct ced by referring to the remarks of the w preceding speaker, (31r. C.

The rightilon. baronet then pro- es ceoded as follows : cc I rejoice that the hon. genleman has ul given me as opportunity of making some ci observations on the late message of the it President of the United Ststes. The sin- n< care and bnmest desirt I have always en- 91 sertained for the naintainanuce of a good 8 undersiandisg between this country and M the United States, and the spirit in which Iiin I have always spoken of America, makes 31 it a doubly painful duty io atte to have to A refer to that mesage, which, I ,amn sorry ti to say, does not give a correct account of ri the negotiations relatii'e to the right of " visit. Peramps I may do right to confirat what 's thue honorable gentleman has said, that C there is nothing more distinct than the a' right of visit is from the right of search. ol Search is a belligerent right, and not to al i be exercised ins time of peaee except *hen vi I it has been concedled by treaty. The right it -of search estends not only to the vessel, al. but to the cargo also. The right of visit ci is guit. distinct from this, though the two are often cnfonded. st The right of search, ,vith respect to i A mericaa vessels, we entirely and literally a disclaim; nay, more, if we knew that an ; American vessel wore furnished *ith all n. the materials requisite for tlee slave tradea if we knew that the dechs were prepared te to receive hundredsi of human beings,witha- ;e -in the spaeen Awhich life is almost inaspos isible, suil we should he bond to let that se I Amnerican vessel pass on. d -But the right we claim, is to know c -whet ber a vessel pretendiog to be Ameri- vi ,can, and boisting the American flag. be L Sboa ide American (Hear, hear.)
