The laet English papera brought a report of the discussion which tovk place in the House of Cowmons, in regard te the Fenian movement The Chancellor of the Exchequer deprecated de- bate on the matter as impolitic, but the irrepres- sible Commons would bave their say, and they had it. Some apeakere magnified the movement, others ridiculed jt; but among the points raised, there was one of peentiar interest and importauce at the present time. It was the question whe ther the Uuited States Government was dving its duty ia the matter. For the past six or seven yeare the Brotherhvod bas been in existence Phe avowed intention of the society, at its forwa- tion, was to make Ireland an independent coun- try. At firet, the movement went on stealthily aad seervtly; but gradually all pretence at con- cealinent was thrown off, and the objects of the organigation were proclaimed at every atreet corner and frow every bousetop. Mass meetings are now being held, meney ts being collected, arma purchased, ageuts seut to L[reland, and se forth—ali avewedly tor the purpose of dismeny | bering the Britsh Empire. Before the eyes and | ia the hearing, as it were, of the American Go-| vernment, threats are ostentatiously wade, the work of crgavizing goes on, aud in all respects the acts ef the Brotherhood accord with their professed inteutiona, short of the last decisive step. Uuder these circumstances, ia the United witnessing all this without making the slightest uttempt to check the plaus of ite citizens? Ot course, it: would jotertere if an gctual raid was committed ; but is it uuder no obligation te move tll then ? Mr. Gladstone—in reply to Mr. Wathin—ad- mitted that Her Maujesty’s Government had not nade auy represeuiations to the Government ot the United Statea, wich referenee to the Penian Organization; and maintained that there was, a yet, no sufficient reason to do so. It was not enough, he said, to koow that Fenianism was a thiug of Americnn growth. Jt waa necessary vielated, in erder that Great Britain onght claim the intervention of the Government. The Fenian woremenl Was notorious ina certain way, but not in sueb a way that it could be made the sub- jeet of legal proceedings. Again, if au attack was wade upon any portion of the British dowi- niens, we would bave a right to ask the American Guvernment to put down the movement by force. Another ease ln which we could rightfully com- ‘plain would be where officers of the Government had taken part in the conspiracy. The rumours as to this were tou vague and intormal to warrant any complaint. Thus, while admitting the serious character of the movement and the undeniable object of it, Mr. Gladstoue demed that we had any sufficient grovnd upon which to make repre wbtetivus to the Gyverument of the United States. We have stated fully the grounds taken by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and certainty, if nothing more can be said tur refraining from ad- dreasiug @ remonstrance to the United States au thorities, it seems to us that be has failed te make out a caae. Mr. Gladstone says that “no law ef the United States has beew siolated,” aud that the Fenian movement is “ vot noterions in such @ way ae te be made the subject of legal proceedings” A few weeks ago, Mr. McKenna, of New York, acting in the interest of the Chiban Government, set himself to fit out priva teers to prey upou Spanish commerce. Alihbough he bad endearoured io execute bis projeet secretiy, the watter became known, and was deemed sufi- cently “ notorious” to be “ made the subject ot legal proceedings.” At the instance of District Attorney Dickinson, proceedings were instituted agajpet McKenna, a grand jury found an indiet- ment, aud he was srreated gad kept in close conr- finement. ‘This is 8 cage exactly in paint, Was there a tithe of the * nuturiety’ about this that there was about the Fenian plot?) Aseuredly not. And the acheme of O’Mationy aud Sweeney js ax clearly against a friendly-puwer aa was that of McKeuna. Then, as te no United States law having been viglated, we fiud that the law under which an in- dictueut was found sgsinst McKenna is most fagrautly violated by the Fenians. The 61h see- ‘tion of the Neutrality Act of Isle provides that, “if any person shall, within the territory or juris- diction of the United States, begin, or set on foot, or provide or prepare the means for, any military expedition or enterprise, to be carrted on from thence against the territory or dominion of any foreign prone or tate, or any colony district or people, pith whom the United States are at peace, every person 60 offending shall be deemed guilty of a high miedemeanor, aud shall be fined not exceed- ing $3,000, or Hopris med not more than three years.” Could language apply more completely to the Fenian movement? We venture to say that if @ measure wae introduced into Congress for the express purpose af weeting the case of the Fenians, it could not be made more pomted and applicable than is this 6th section of the Act of 1818.

A design like this would be characteristic of the danng mind Count Bis marck has displayed. Bavaria is the largest o/ the secoudary states, and the ambition of he: statesmen may be leaping in accordance with Prussian desive and design... By pressure from the Diet, her action would appear to favor the Emperor, but its issues might be more injurious than otherwise to his ‘Catise.

He bas set his mind upon an ae and will eadeayurto accomplish it at all risks and hazards, The first step towards.a rupture has been taken in the repudiation by Prussia of the pro- clamation of General Gablenz, that the consti- tution introduced im Holstein by the Danes in 1854 should be rezarded as valid. Prussia @e- clares that the conveution of a representative would be a violation of the Treaty of Gastein, Althouzh the dachy of Holstein was placed under the protection of Austria for purposes of civil and military administration, Count Bis- marck contends that the right of sovereignity was vested in the King of Prussia and the Em. peror of Aastria conjointly, This js the start- ing point of what is likely be a serious quarrel, and that may eventually: set all Germany on fire. ‘The King regrets,*says the Prussian minister iu bis reply'to“an address from some members of what is called the “ Equestrian Order” in Holstein, - thatthe inconvenience of the existing transitional’ state of affairs js aggravated by the proyGcative’ activity of 9 party whose pretensions ape not- founded in right, and are preconcileable with the treaties of Vienpa and ‘Gasteins': His Majesty's Go- vernment have already estedrdured to maintain murder aud. depredations oa the’ meusbera of other nations, ortu combine to do it, appeared to the American Goverument as much aguinst the iawa of the land as to murder or rob, or- te com: bine te murder or rob their own citizens, and-aa zood round terms. sion to declare, that smongst the varions miydes | in concert with Austr --Jegal .situation created by those t ina La sirens dis- order; and then ¢omes odt.the . intention, in “Theve already had occa- by Liberal Chiefs; to nerght that is conceived O!
