They have doe. a very offensive set in a manner and in a tor m u little offessive as wee peak. They Dave reduced the came of Mr. CRARPTON'S diSmiesel from international to purely personal grounds; they have accepted the explanation aa to the policy and instructions of the British Cabinet which Lnd CLARENDON offered them; they have exonerated the Eoglish Government from say later lion to infringe their romicipal law ; they have reeog• aimed. and proles@ at least to reciprocate the spirit of friendship and goodwill in which Lord CLARENDON has addre►sed them ; and they have given Mr. DALLAS ample powers either to army by direct ago) istion the questions as to Central America, or to rater them to arbitration either royal or, if desira ble, private. The essential differences between the two countries have, therefore, it is obvious, been placid ort new ground in consignee°, of this altered determination and changed toile of the United States Government But the personal qeestioa is aggravated and oxen panted by the view that Government now takes of it; —that Mr. CRAMPTON was carried away by :inland indiscretion far beyond the policy and the instructions of his Government; that he took unwarrantable fiber. ties, of which Lord CLARENDON NY in ignorance, with the laws of the Union ; that be deliberately deceived the Government he was accredited to; and that his personal conduct g Ily has been unsuitable and unacceptable. Therefore, it is now alleged, President Pierce has dismissed Mr. CR►MPTON. how, let us supine that Mr. Citennon is amen able to all these serious, and, be it remembered, to a large extent new imputations. He would, of worm be in that case an unworthy representative of the Crown of England at Washington. But Pre sident PIERCR has not given Lord CLARENDON any opportunity of forming an opinion on the new matter be has introduced into the ease. When Mr. ?deny formerly represented Mr. Clairton u "unacceptable," it woo for carrying oat, se be then @append, the instraotioss of the Foreign-office; bat now Mr. MARCY knows better, and he dismisses Mr. CRAMPTON for pursuing a course which Mr. MARCY in effeet tells Lord CLARENDON he is now aware TM not warranted by Mr. Clestrron's instructions. Formerly Mr. Mawr required Lord CLARINDON to ceasure him self se well as to condemn Mr. CRAMPTON. Now Mr. MARCY admits Lord CLARINDON has pursued a fair and honourable course ; and sends away Mr. CRAMPTON for not following the example which Lord CLARRNDON set him. Mr. MARCY, in this his pre sent anxiety to do a smart thing in the least offensive way, overlooks two points, of which the first is, that Lewd CLARZNDON did not refuse to withdraw Mr. Chagnon. All Load CLatention did was to bring Mr. CRAMPTON'e reply to the then case against him before Mr. MARCY, and to ask him to believeit in prefereoce to relying on Hain and STROEREL The second point overlooked is, that Mr. MARCY gives Lord CLARENDON CO opportunity of forming en opi nion on the new matter which has wads so deep an impression on his own mind, but, In great buts, sends Mr. CRAMPTON his peissports, and thereby raises up another and a much more weighty qualm than the des consideration of his additional cue against Mr. Cnesirron. To send away a public Moister unneoemarily ex cept when his Government have refused to rood him, or his presence is attended with danger, is always an extreme step. When Mr. ELtiorr, our Minister at Berlin during the American war, insulted FRAM. Rica lie Omar by shaking in his face the proofs he had obtained of that Bing's complicity with our rebellions colonists as they were then called, Fla- DZILICK did not retaliate with hie jackboot or by mincing Mr. ELLIOTT his purports—he simply re- quested his removal, and the request was at own complied with. And who can doubt that bad the Washington Cabinet pursued a course ee tem perate sod es moderate 118 the Great FILIDZILICKII wise and prudent conduct when far more justly pro voked, some solution of the now very much narrowed and contracted, yet meek note dangerous, diplomatic point we ticl have been fond that was consistent with the honour and dignity of both countries ? But now, in coos. qualms a Mr. hasty procedure, the difecolty is to find any SOWN that can be adopted tat one which will comport with the honour and dignity of this country. Fcr the British Government simply to fall into Mr. Maacr's view—to accept Mr. Cesar - rotes diamimal as a mere personal act, offensive and disagreeable to him only—and to take up at coos the other question in dispute and arrange it with Mr. DALLAS, would be an abnegation of self-respect such as might be very al/terabit+ to President PIERCE, but would be humiliating to the pride sod sentiment of England; and it is quite as math our just pride sad gee._ row sentiments on which oar power is fusuded as on our mete wealth. That otiersecen hardly be the oat our Cabinet will take. As little, however, eon we anticipate their minding away Mr. DALIAN either before Mr. Calillr2oll arrives to give full isformation, or wittost accompanying his dismissal by some act or explanation that will reciprocate Mr. MAllerli exprt surd anxiety to arrange the other question in dispute. To avoid war we must not stand as trifles. but do all in the way of concession that we can fairly acd bonourab:y do. Were it possible, we might send a special mission to %shirtless ; but as a special mission is the highest compliment one Government can pay another, Mr. MARCY hie rendered that expedient impossible also. Writ n Lord J. RUSEELL took t h e seals of the Foreign office., ender Lord ABERDEEN, be proposed to despatch the 1t.,r1 of CARLISLE -o Waehington,speciallycharged to arrange the Central American oontrovenyi bat Lord JOHN'S wise prevision was crumpled by Lord ABEEDLEN'S dull and stupid formalism, and that opportunity was lost. Although, however, a special taiseion is now out of the question, there really appears no reason why at some neutral point —even thoegh it bs on the island midway in the Atlantic, where Lord CLARENDON jocularly offered to meet Mr. MARDI' some ten days ago —some negotiations might not be opened for the arrangement of all differ toms. At all events, that would be infinitely pre- stable to any Imperial Intervention in the dispute. But even then the will be rest, salsas the United States Cabinet wil t . give the way by same concession se to Mr. Cteurroe. We are as going to war about Mr. Caourtox, will of mane be said. ?hither about Mr. CIAIIP TON, nor about anybody nor anything else, we Lope. For oar part, we have no vary high opinion Of Mr. CRAMPTON. To say the least of it, he hu not conciliated the esteem of any party atWashiogton. Mr. CLATTON has brought into painful controversy his veracity on a matter of fact I Mr. Mance objects— not, we must say, without reason—to the tone of several of his despatches given in the Bfbi=booksi and' his residence at Wasbiegtoo has du born illustAjtei by any seeress that we know of—foe the treaty alt o the Bt. Lawremoe and Canada, was more Lord ELGIN'. work than Mr. CRAMTTON . B. But admit ting that Mr. CRAMPTON has net fulfilled at Wash ington the expectations which his previous career encouraged, as a general rule our public ministers malt be maintained and supported, their conduct when specially attacked most be examined with fair ness, liberality, and generosity, and we moat not dis grace ourselves by any avoidable sacrifice or shabby o bedemnation of them. And in judging of Mr. Castirrox's conduct on the enlistment question as a whole, we must not overlook these circumstances, that be is dismieeed by a Cabinet which, at the very time it sends him away, is brought by Lord Cuing- DON to ao acknowledgment that it had formed a wrong opioioo on the more important part of the case, and that the Cabinet which dismisses him has a motive for the dismissal quite irrespective of Mr. CRAMPTON or the British Government. As to Central America, there appears to us an unusual amount of nonsense talked upon the ques tion by the journals supposed to be connected with the Exuma. England has no mission to tin all directions the outbursts of Filibusteriem. Wnen they endanger English interests, thoee interests must of tonne be protected ; but we have no earthly interest in perpetuating the frightful disor ders that have so long ravaged Nicaragua and all the other States of Central America but Costa Rica, or in arresting the progress of United States settlement and order there. The time is manifestly at hand when the relations between these petty states and the rest of the world must be placed on a better footing, and when their seclusion has to be exchanged for that inter course with the world which it is our especial interest to promote and to share in; and that time will be ' greatly accelerated by a strong government in Nies rages, by whorneoeeer it shall be formed. If already an American Company have got possession of the land transit, it is our own fault, and from their energy we derive great advantages. But the monopoly of a land transit having been secured there by a United States Company, other American enterprises were sure to follow: it is not for us to wring our bands over and denounce them, but rat►er to make up our minds to this farther spread of a common race which confers on us com mon benefit'. AU we can want is to be placed at no disadvantage in Central America, and to that end only ouerbt we to use our rights and pretensions in that quartet. lu what Lord J. RI:7BBEu rightly called the pre sent critical rate of things, the first duty of the Ca binet is to support the national dignity and honour, avoiding as long as possible say risk of war. Lord Pommitorott is wonderfully fertile in espedieuts. Oa his present device for avoiding and turning • great sad serious difficulty, both the credit of the country and the existence, if not of his Mi nistry, of the present House of Commons, may depend; for in front he has • public that will not be preci pitated into war with America, and behind him he has a party which needs but • little assistance to be able to place him in • minority on Mr. H. HAILLII'II now akiltully prepared address to the Crown. Mr. GLADSTONE, Bir J. GRAHAM, and Mr. SIDNEY HER BERT (notwithstanding he originated the policy on which Mr. CRAMPTON acted), are all ready and willing to strike, if he gives them au opportunity, and to add to foreign complications a crisis in our domestic Ades Ws ate ambled to state that there is no truth whatever in the report that any iocrease of our naval 'ores on the Norh American Station has either been made or is at present contemplated. The ships that have recently been ordered out will simply replace ethers that are returning home quits unfit for longer service. The most stringent instructions have, we believe, gone from the Adosirally to Admiral FAA• HUME to avoid on his part and that of the British captain. under his command any collision with the naval force of the United States. A competent British squadron has, however, been ordered to Greytowo, where the Uoited States Government has lately despatched three of those large ships of war which the Americans call frigates.

TURKEY. • IiARSEILLES, SarranAy. The Sigel bas arrived boa Constantinople with news to the 6th lostaot. The treaty with' Greets rela•tae to the repression of brigandage has been re titled. There was a ta'k of a military occupation of Tur key; the English fleet we. enacted. TheLiram wss celebrated with great pomp. The Sultan hes held a review of 30,000 men. The Journal de Constantinople pretends that the Russians destroyed the fortifications of Kars on the 131 h of May, before they delivered up the town to I lthe Turks, and that they here alto demolished the fortresses of Rent and Ismail, contrary to the spirit of the treaty of Paris. This news requircs comfit. The news of the destruction of the fortifications at fteoi, I-mail, and Kare, had produced a great sensa tion at Constantinople. Letters from the Crimea come down to the 3rd. The English fleet wsa expected there to embark 2 . 3,000 men before the 13th. Tartars were arriving at Balaklava in great numbers. The English eve custion was going on slowly. Trade at Balaklava is in a deplorable state, and many forced sales under executions have taken place. A good deal of mer chandise is to t: re-shipped for France and Egypt. Another despatch of the same date says ttlegrz phio orders from London had been received at Con- I stantinop'e that all the vessels in port should pro ceed at once to the Crimea to bring away troops, on account of the extraordinary heats. A new line of French steamers is established be tween Constantinople and (Matz. THE PRINCIPALITIES. The Gazette de Cologne announces the solution of the difficulty which had arisen on the subject of the appointment of Mookleas Puha (Prince Stourdas) u one of the commissioners. The Porte remained firm, and in the night of May 31 and June 1, a de spatch wee received at Jassy stating that the Russian government had withdrawn its opposition. The com. mission has, consequently, resumed its labours. AUSTRIA. A Vienna letter in the Press* says that the proecrii tion of as Russian journal L. Nord in the Aust.isit states is not a fait aecompli; but that the qaestion has been discussed in council. SPAIN. The Cortes have authorised the ratification of the treaty concluded with Naples. MADRID, Jima 14. The Cortee have authorised the marriage of the faults Amelia with Niue Adalbert of Bavaria. The discussion on the beset of the law on the Na tional Guard is concluded. Preparations for the naval expedition againat Muioo continue. SARDINIA. TURIN, Joxii lb. The distribution of the Queen of England's medals to the Sardinian troops ham pissed off with greet encores. There was an immense concourse of specta tors from all parts of Italy. The demonstration can scarcely fail to strengthen the hands of the Italian constitutionalists, and to abate the counteraction of the extreme republicans. It would, perhaps, be toe much to hope that Anetrian diplomatists should take a warning from it. FRANCE. THE BAPTISMAL CEREMONIES. (MOIR OUR OWN CORRIIIPONDWIT.) PARIS, SATURDAY BYRUM The ehristeoing-day has gone off u well as could possibly have been cosorived. From the late hour I fixed for the baptism—half-past five—it might have been supposed that the town would not have assumed a holiday aspect till towards the afternoon, and that the people world have devoted the morning to their nowt avocations , . But the Petiolate do not so understand a feta Men, women, and children by thousand. were afoot shortly after break'si'. and hurrying along, as if there were not a moment to lose, to take up positions to view the procession. Forty francs was a very common charge for a single Sept at a window in the line Itivoli. Of course the upper stories let at less extravagant rata, but at some price or other every window along the whole hoe that was to be bad for money was taken, and the rest were tenanted by the owners and their friends. I never en any occasion saw a line of houses more alive with human beings. The terraces is the Tuileries, the Place de la Concorde, the open spaces about the tower of Saint Jaques and the Hotel de Ville, and every other spot from which • gratis view of the coreige could be obtained, were crowded to excess, and the foot pavement along the entire length of the Rue Rivoli was closely peeked with people, patiently standing for hours on the chance of seeing the top of a state carriage and the coachman's wig over a hedge of bayonets. The weather was on the whole favourable. Some smart showers in the morning cooled the air and laid the dust, much to the comfort of the Rational Guard. and the troops that lined the way. After 2 o'clock the weather cleared and became charming. The sun was occasionally veiled by light clouds flying rapidly before a southerly breeze. The well-known figs and streamers that graced the Queen's visit, and wel comed the return of the Crimean heroes,were brought out on this occasion, and floated gaily from the win down in the Rue Myatt. The balconies of many houses were hung with silk and velvet. The roof of the Hotel de Ville resembled a ship of war hung with the flags of all nations on a fete day. A temporary portico was erected in trout, with a terrace on the top, from which the guests saw the fireworks after dinner. Oa eitht r side of the Avenue Victoria there were two immense pasteboard buildings looking like stone, representing two edifices now in coarse of erec tion—the Calms de Poisey and de la Boalangerie. A magnificent triumphal arch, ornamented with flowers and the arms of the city,wes erected across the Avenue Victoria. Over the central arch float. d a colossal eagle, with a risotto imi'.ted from that of the ei y of Paris—oared nec rnoretur. The Pont d'Artfole, which enacted. the Hotel de Ville with Notre Dial", was splendidly decorated with candelabras, flags, and garlands. The square called the parvia, in front of the Cathedral, presented a vent animated setae. Masses of troops, cavalry and iniantry, kept a large open space for the carriages, which began to arrive with company as early as 1 o'clock. 'The aurrourding eggs and hose es were very crowded with people, in holiday attire, and a grand stand, erected in front of the Hotel Dieu, was entirely occupied by ladies, in evening costume, without bassets. Here ends my roegh descriptios of the general aspect of the line of promotion. The cortege itself is amply described in the programme, which was faithfully followed in every respect.

But I must now leave the multitude and its out- , dace pleasures, and come to a grand sight reserved for a favoured few—eay some 5,000, fur that , s, I believe, abos - Othenttinber for whom seats were found in the interior of No.re Dame. Of these " upper tee thousand" many ladies must have begun to make their elaborate toile , tea as soon as they were up. The doors of the cathedral were bee aged long be ore they were opened. There was terrible crushing of crino line, but luckily no spoiling of bonnets, for there were none to spoil. The regulations strictly prescribed evening head-dresses. But some rt , the ladies &ut tered greatly from the rays of the midday can playing full upon their bare heads as they stood pent up and panting in the crowd. On entering the church the first thing that struck one was how unlike a church it looked. The floor was richly carpeted, the large pillars on either side of the nave were covered with painted canvas fitting close like paper, the pat tern red and white pernenciicular stripes, and the ca pital of the columns were gilt. The walls and roof were painted d la mauresque, end right and lef innumerable tribunes hung with crimson velvet, looked like state boxes at the opera. Pursuant to au ancient custom, the baptismal font was placed in the middle of the traneept. There, in front of the choir, an altar of wood and metal, fashioned after the beet models of the I3th century, was erected for the occa sion. Nar to this altar was placed the throne, and seats for the imperial party, and high overhead was as immense purple velvet canopy lined with white silk, embroidered with gold. In the choir an unpa ralleled spectacle met the eye. Sitting in rows one above another, on a stand erected for the purpose, were nearly eighty archbishops and bishops, all wearing their mitres and full ecclesiastical costumes. The entire episcopacy of France was sum moned, and I believe very few members of the order were unable to attend. Over the mitred heads of the bishops were suspended several magnificent chandeliers glittering with innumerable lights. This was the only part of the cathedral that was illumi• eyed. Throughout the rest of the building a" dim religious light*prevailed, save from time to time when a gorgeous ray of the setting sun flashed directly through the western portal, and, penetrating far into the nave, produced the most singular and beautiful effects as it fell upon the decorations of the building, the uniforms of the general officers and the many coloured dresses of the ladies. At about five o'clock the cannon announced that the Emperor was leaving' the Tuileries. By this time not a seat in the building, except those reserved for the imperial party,was lett unoccupied. The Archbishop of Paris, mitre oo head and crosier in hand, left the altar, the cross being borne before him, and, followed by the chapter of Paris and numerous clergy in their richest vestment-. proceeded to the steps of the door to meet the Pope's legate, who arrived half an bone before the Emperor. The legate was conducted to the altar under a purple canopy borne by four priests. As he arrived the organ pealed forth its deep solemn tones for the first time, and hundreds of voices sang a hymn. The cardinal took the central seat provided for him io front of the choir. At half-past 5 the archbishop and clergy, in the same order as before, went again to the steps to receive their Majesties and the imperial prince, the cardinal remaining in his pl-ce. After the chamberlains, aides.decamp, and other officers, the ladies, bearing the " honours" of the imperial prior?, entered the church, wearing exquisitely rich court dresses with long trains. The Duchess of Mon- tebello carried a lighted wax candle five feet long with infinite skill, and the Marquise de Latour Msubourg took great care not to upset the saltcellar. There was a thrill of curiosity as the imperial prince himself appeared in the arms of Madame Admiral Brunt. He is really a very fine child, and notwithstanding all that has been said, looks remarkably healthy. The Empress was looking very well. Their Majesties came up to the altar under the same canopy that had been used for the Pops'. legate. The ceremony of the baptism lasted but a few minutes. A great majority of the company, tired with sitting so many hours, left somewhat in decently before the ceremony was over. The Em geror, following the example of his uncle as recorded by M. Thies, held the child up in his arms as soon as he was baptised, an act saluted by immense cheering. Thos Prince then left by a private door for the Tuileries, and their Majesties went to dine at the Hotel de Ville. PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. The fates (mations. The weather has been threat ening all day, but there has been no rain, and the evening looks promising. There were partial illumi nations last night. The moat beautiful was that of St. 'slues La Bonoherie. The lantern-tower seemed on fire in the inside, and shed a vivid light far up and down the Seine. The illuminations of Notre Dame and the Pantheon were also very successfuL There was a brilliant illumination in coloured lamps at the Bourse, where the principal motto was '• An Prince Imperial, les 'gets de change." At a great many private houses 'impious were seen in the win. dom. It is curioss that on occasions when the go. vsrnment desires to see a great illumination, it does not light up the Tuileries and the Louvre. The great beauty of an illumination of a town is uni formity, every blank window being an eyesore— now, it there were lights placed in every window of the Tuileries and Louvre, there would be an immense extent of illuminated building visible to the entire quarter of the city, and even far beyond, in the direction of the quays. In stead of anything like this, the Tuileries were compa ratively dim, and the Louvre offered nothing but a few miserable lights at the principal entrance-doore. The gratis theatres to-day were not so crowded as they have been on former occasions of the kind, probably because the hope of fine weather led many people to prefer out-door amusement. When I say the theatres were not so crowded, speak without knowledge, for I should have been very sorry to have attempted to get into any one of them. I have no doubt, on reflection, that internally they were all as full as they could hold; but it is certain that the doors were not besieged by such vast numbers as I have sometimes seen. The balloons went up as promised from the esplanade of the Invalidei, and I saw the parachutes filled with bonbons falling among an immense crowd. There will be a brilliant illumination in the Champs Elyeb‘s to-night, besides the fire wurks. At Notre Dame. yesterday, all the ladies were in ecstasies at the resplendent beauty of the Empress's diamonds. I understand that she wore (among others) the Unions Regent diamond, and that the total value of the jewels in her tiara was not less than fifteen millions of francs. Sir William Fenwick Williams, of Kars, has been compelled to decline an invitation brought to him here by the town clerk of Sonthamp•on, to select that port for his entry into England, having pre viously promised several personal friends to land at Diver. A deputation from the company which proposes to I ley down a eubmarine telegraphic line between Havre and Southampton, is to have an audience with the Emperor to-morrow, to ark his consent to the project. The Dover line is overworked, and a second would be a manifest telegraph advantage to both countries. General Changaroier has sent a subscription of 100 fr. to the Inundation Fund. Scoeral republican refugees at Breesehi have sent to the Sifcle Isof. made up of individual contributions of lfr., 2fr , and 3fr. each. A letter to the editor of the Steele, accomps nyieg the offering, apologises for the smallness of the amount on the ground that exile does not foster the growth of riches. They send the money, tritliog RIP It is, as a testimony of sympathy with the misfor tunes of their countrymen. The Sack, in publishing the letter, observes that it is a sufficient answer to a calumnious paragraph in the Pays, wherein it was stated that the Brussels refugees had refused to sub scribe anything. In referent; to the proposal .h tt the working classes generally ehou'd devote a day's pay to the sufferers from the inundations, the Steele has received a letter from a master manufacturer ot Paris, stating that his men would be ham to do an extra day's work on a Sunday rather thsn e.erifice a week day's pay, seeing that their wages are hardy sufficient for them to live upon. The Queen Dowager Marie Amelia has subscribed the handsome sum of 25,0001 r. on hehalt ot herself and the princes and princesses of the house of 01.- 1 leans. The Presse sap, in its weekly commercial re view : Business is rtill languishing. Toe Pthro of fine weather has brought some putchtseis to 'he and it is hoped that the tap:isms' Wes, which hose broturbt a peat many visitlra to Faris, may have a favourable ibfluence upon the retail trade. But the manuf,ctur..rs hay, remained lapped in a dead cairn ever since the teuinbirg of the month. Many of the provinces deva,tated by the aoundat.ons have bought r °thing whatever, and but tow orders have been re ceived from abroad. The Prase further observes thet the reduction of discount from 6 to 3 per cent., which the Back of France made some time since, has hitherto been of wry little advantage to trade, bec tote the rate of reports has again increased, and capitalists who can get 20 or 30 per cent. by lending their money for "carrying over " accounts on the Bourse, are of course little disposed to invest in commercial trans action., however advantageous they may be. THE UNITED STATES. ARRIVAL OF MR. CRAMPTON IN THE CANADA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. The British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship Caned', Captain B. J. C. Lang, arrived in the :leer this morning, from Boston and Halifax, with 141 passengers, and 542,651 dole. 13c., and from Halifax 6001. in specie. She sailed from Boston at noon on the 4th inst. On the 7th, in lat. 46 N., lon. 57 W., passed the ship St. Lawrence, of Glasgow, bound East ;12th, let. 54, lon. 24, at 1 a.m., signalised • steamer, suppoeed to be the America, hence for Boston; Jane 14, passed the ship Czir, bound West, with loss of jibboom. Amongst the passengers are the Hon. J. F. Cramp. ton, late Minister to the United States, and Mr. A. Barclay, her Majesty's Consul at New York. The steamship Indian, trout Liverpool, arrived at Quebec on the 3rd inst. with the C.nadian mails. The news by this arrival is three days later than that brought by the Fulton. The New York Doi* Times of June 2—in an article entitled ' , What will England do?"—observes: There will be • ftverith anxiety during the Dr xt three weeks to kuow what c 'um the Brq4 , goverment will pursue on the receipt of the news of Mr Cram; ton's die. charge ; but • quiet view of all the circumstances, f the can will hardly excite any apprehensint s of an uoferourable charmer. The British residents hire, whose instincts may be palely taken es an indication of the manner in which the news will be received to the other side, do not gene rally believe that there will he any atrium die estiefaction felt when Mr. M .ros's lever shell have been read; and the 'lawn, which is ea atreauouly British in its feelings SA any paper published on the other aide of the Atlantic, takes • very moderate and seerble view of the matter. The Cramer des Etats Dail, who e editor wu in Washing ton at the time of the dismissal tt Mr Crampton is most absurdly fussy end irate on the orcasiou, ar . d t s ike in • very bellicose manner of tee c..nsequences of the act. But there is a vast differ, roe h tween the tempi. ✓amente of the two nations which these papers repre sent, which may arc , urt ti r d.ffsrent slows they take of the matter, the 11:itfe's journal is cl,iiltnly the safer in. dicator of the two. There i• an impressi• n which ribald]. to • considerable extent, that the British government will immediately tender Mr. Dallu his passports by way of reta liation; but such a course scald be absurd in the extreme, nukes three of our unsul., say ttose of Liverpool, London, and Bristol, were diem's std at the same rime, as a retallat'o• ter the dismissal of Messrs. Diretoy, Rowcroft and Mathew For, as Mr. Dales has in no manner rendered himself unacceptahle to her Briiennic Majesty's government, why et ould be be sant home, unless there should be a dwprirition to onspen fr.endly re lotions with as altogether ? Not our government has ex pressed no desire for anything of the kir d, hut quite a con trary disposith n. The baste of Mr. Crompton in closing the embassy in Washington. end o ndcni, as has been re ported, all its archives to Canada, is regarded as sin unfit. rumble symptom. But the feeling of /U. Cremptoo, who is personally implicated, and who will, of course, for his own jostificatioe, be desirous of mai , g his dismissal, which is purely personal, a notional Inuit, Min not be taken as en iodination of the feeling of his g: vernment. The right of our sloven runt to d.szni-a .oy diplomatist neat or consul who may be personally objectionable, of corer e eeanot be questioned ; and as Mr. Crampon end the three unsuls have been dismissed solely for such • reason, the fact of their hay ng been the Uppsala -lam of a difficulty with their government, ethics ts now hipp.le settled, cannot make the excretee of this right a cause of offence. The die. Mine of Mr. DOA., who is nos my lved in the affer, would rat the Brisish gi.vernment in • ridiculous position, from which it could not very eerily extricate itself without . St m hating confession of its error. A despatch from Washington, dated the 2nd, says: "There was but a small attendance in Congress to day—fifteen in the Senate, and about sixty in the boa.e. There will not be a quorum probably for two weeks." The New York Journal of Commerce says : In oohing • cbsrge in the personnt I r f the British lega tion, we only ask • hi.t every goverern nt has a discre tionary tight to do, a• d whit a actor uniformly croceded es • courtesy, without r rap:coition.
