Mr. Gladstone—in reply to Mr. Wathin—ad- mitted that Her Maujesty’s Government had not made any representations to the Governinent ot the United States, wi.h referevee to the Fenian Organization; and maintained that there was, a yet, no sufficient reason to do so. It was not enough, he said, to koow that Fenijanism was a thiug of American growth. Jt was necessary that same law of the United States should be 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 gronnd upon which to make repre wntetivus 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 upon Spanish commerce. Although 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, Lapith whem the United States are at pcace, 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. The Pentuns are hterally “ eeiting an foot and providing the means fora military enterprise against the territory of a foreign State, with which the Uoited States are at peace;” and they are bo actiug * within the territory af the United | States,” aud the enterprise ia “te be carried -on from thenes."’ - And if this law was fouud to cover the ease of McKenna—ad it undoubtedly did— bew is it that it is put iuvoked with equa! promp tilude to —t the more eres fillibuster- ing project of the Feuians ? 'e put the questi delibergtely. ” ™ To put this case ina stronger light, we shall refer to another authority, and ove which Aweri- eans, at all events, myat acknowledge; we refer to “ Wheaton's Lnternatioual Law.” Corigres- sional praters and rabid aiti-British newspapers
