ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES.

On the 3rd of March Mr. Cue made a personal
szplanst:on, in the United Stairs Senate, in relatVn teen
article in the Washington Intelligence, of the 3rd of March,
signed " J. W. W.,' which be tttt incited to James Wenon
Webb. It Hates to a tonveriation between Mr. Webb and
Lord Clsrendon, in which the lett, r stated he bad no un-
friendly feeling COMM/ the United Stater. This state-
ment was explanatory of e smash made by Lord Clarendon
in the House of Lome, chit the understanding between the
English and French government, was whet in relation to
all parts of the world—which was undonuoi as • access
to this country regarding Cubs, He Weed, if Lori Cla-
rendon's langing, bad been misunderstood, why did he not
explain it in his place in the Howse of Lords, instead of
leaving it to be explained in a private letter which few per-
haps would see or bear of ? •

Clarendon made Ws famous declaration to Jaunty, 1864,
of the character of the alliance then remit y catered iMo
with Francs; and I was alw in London when the steamer
from the United States arrived to March, bringing over
General Case's famous Teeth, in which he proclaimed that
the language of Lard Clarendon woe the annunciation of
an alliance with Frazee against the United States. On
the wreaths cf the cloy that the steam er's news reached
London I met Lord Clarendon et • soisit, when be inquired
what news the steamer brought from A:wrice. I replied,
' hut little, save General Caws denontuattion of him foe
his resent speech is the Lords upon the isitvethelity of
the &Ilium hosanna England sad Frame,' Elvis' him in
detail General Cue's itonstrnetioi of hie language. Ha
expressed himself greatly grieved at being on,espprebended,
and added, Surely pow dad not imegiso that' I 'steeled to
convey the ides that we had snared tats say ening. meat

humus Oar daily 'amputee to me rendered i t impotwibles

It by General Cu.;and his speech will 'vita alarm and

people dread the swum of the allies as the 'Meal for their
interference with the United States.' He aseutsd to this
view of tits sableed, espreseed the vastest 'egret at not
having initialised himself more folly, 'snared me that he
alluded solely to the mieunderstandii g which had elided
between Flatus and England In South America sod at
Tahiti in the Pacific ad inquired how it was Fusible to
remedy the error which had been committed.
I rommonended an interview with Mr. Burhasan, which
was adopted; and the interview seoudieg y took plum an
the following day. A few evenings thereafter I again met
his Lordship, when he said to me that he had atreoged with
Mr. Buchanan the oaf ducats salsapprehenelon of his
oomph; and la reply to my inquiry huw it had been ar-
ranged, he stated that be had *admired an explanatory
letter to Mr. Cranspteo to be read to Mr. Mercy. I sill!ad
at this laformatleo, which induced the iequiry why I eon-
sedated the arrangement a bad one. My ri ply of emuplantwas,
was, that the plant admiaistration would not feel desirous
of correcting the error that bad hub made; and that, con-
sequently, the American people would never bear of it, and
all their sympathise would be gradually trantferred from the
&Siesta the saw of Riad& He immolated the force el
this remark, and asked me to sepg.st a mode in which the
people of America could be made to undetetand how prosily
hie mesalag had been miereprountee, adding,—
" ' I urea the sympathy end good kelisg of your
coontryman la the coming struggle u being all-important
to the allies. The moral power which they will exercise
spoil the war is second only to their taking part with us In
the contest.'

After nine oenvenation upon the satjeet, I proposed to
write him a one, asking him to commit to writing what he
bad said to me in one aria eleavereation upon the subject, to
be used at my discretion in the event of the administration
supprashig the purport of his official explanation of his
span*. This use &coded ti, and on the fo'l Meg day I
addressed him the note speed upon, in reply to which I
received the following :

LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 20.

IT is now certain that the defloite treaty of pesos
will be signed in a few days. Thus is made good
the assurance we were enabled to give our readers
in our issue of Wednesday, the 12th instant, that
"we are warranted in stating that in a very short
time—shorter probably than the most sanguine will
venture to conjecture—the conclusion of a peace will
be publicly proclaimed."

The English declaration of war against Russia was
published on the 28th of Much, 1844. In that
document it is stated that the Btamur bad been
obliged. "in self-defence," to declare war spinet
Russia, because it had become "manifest that a right
for Russia to interfere In the ordinary relations of
Toikisti subjects to their sovereign, and not the hap-
piness of Turkish communities in Turkey, was
the object sought by the Russian Government." It
is added, that the Queen of ENGLAND nevertheless
persevered, in conjunction with her Allies, in her
" endeavours to restore pesos between the contending
panics." The declaration then goes on to state that
—" The time has now arrived when the advice and

remonstrances of the Four Powers having proved
wholly ineffectual, and the military preparations of
Russia becoming daily more extended, it is but too
obvious that the Emperor of RUSSIA has entered
upon a course of policy which, if unchecked,
must lead to the destruction of the Otto-
man Empire. In this conjuncture her Ma.
Jerry fet:a herself called upon, by regard for
an Ally, the integrity and independence of
whose empire have been recognised as essential to
the peace of Europe, by the sympathise of her people
with right against wrong, by a desire to avert from

her dominions most injurious coasequesom, and to
save Europe from t►e preponderate* of a Power
which has violated the faith of treaties and defies
the opiaion of the civilised world, to take up arms in
ootjutction with the Emperor of the Fume for the
defence of the SULTAN."

The objects enumerated in this "Declaration of
Westminster" have been attained. Emit' has relin-
quished her claim "to interfere in the ordinary re.
latioos of Turkish subjects to their sovereign." The
Danubian Principalities have been cleared of the
invading orioles of Ramis; and a now and mare ad-
vantageous frontier for these provinces has been
secured by obliging Russia to cede a part of its
Berorrabien territory. This sans passion mood-
pates t►e embouchure of the Danube from Russian
control, by removing the frontier stations of that
Power considerably to the northward. The naviga-
tion of the Danube is not only wrested from the grasp
of Russia, it is saved from subserviency to Austria
and Germany by being pleoed underthe protection of a
European syndicate. The development of the re-
sources of the Principalities, and the moral and in-
tellectual progress of their inhabitants, are provided
for by the adoption of measures for the full develop-
ment of their national legislative and administrative
institutions in relation to all their domestic affairs
under the suserainete of the Porte. While the Jude-
pendence and integrity of Turkey are thus provided
for in the West, the restitution of Bars gives her sr
curity in the East.

Turkey has been saved for the present—what
guarantees have wa for the future P We WOWS we
have little faith in cooveations es amens of binding a
Power which, to use the words of the Westminster
Declaration, " has violated the faith of treaties and
defied the opinion of the civilised world.• It
is not easy to make the Ethiopian change
his hue or the leopard its spots. We want
better security t►an Russian prohesioes; and we thick
we can see them. Sebastopol is destroyed. The
Rossi= fleet is extirpated from the Itaxine. No
naval arsenals are to be permitted to exist on the
Bleck Ste or the Sea of Azoff. Free Trade for all
nations has been established in them sees, and will be
protected by resident consuls in their port,. What-
ever is undertaken in those regions by any Govern-
ment must henceforth be nedertaken in the broad
light of day. The spirit of commercial enterprise will
there supersede the spirit of warlike segreesion. The
effects of the champ will be favourable both to
Turkey and to Russia : it will segment the power of
Turkey; it will abate the insatiate yearnings after
territorial 000qamt of Ramis.
