Tun cots isioate English cruisers with American
mershantt cies is a disagreeable affair. It is, how-
ever, necessary to bear in mind that we have as
yet 'beard may one side of the story. President
BUIDISSI4AW Of his mouthpiece, Mr. Cain), after
hearing that one side only, jumps at the coaelesion
that the esseplainants have stated the simple
truth, sad the whole truth. We beg lean to
wait WI we bear the British officer's version
of the affair. If it is always wrong to decide
en Ilse-sided testimony, it is eminently wrong to do
so ea ench questions as the differences of maritime
nativism about transactions at sea : and of all transl-
ations, those which relate to the Slave Trade and
the Right of Search most need a calm and careful '
investigation. A part of the New York public,
always sensitive on this class of questions, has been
wrought up idto extreme wrath by the statements
of some merchant captains, and of use in particular,
who relates an adventure with a British steamer which
will hardly be altogether believed by sensible people
on either side of the water till it is confirmed by the
Englisheommander. Speaking fres goon geed may
,ears' knowledge of what the ognanadereel Angol-
an coasters are like, in ocavenation and nenessi,gre
must say that the captain of the Main ogloorgr le
unlike all his cles•—anlike all eciesmeedins et ant-
lag schooner' everywhere, if his words and sets were
peseisely what he represents under sash provocation
as he believed himself to be under. The imegisative
element is very apparent in his narrative ef no whole
business, or, at least, in that which the New York
papers pat into his mouth ; and in one particular we
are confident that his senses have deceived him. He
says the British lieutenant (unnamed) who examined
his papers declared, " We have orders from our gee•
verument to board every vessel we fall in with
"in passing up and down the Gulf." If this had
been tear, Lord N trine must have bean aware of it ;
and he and the American Minister would net have
agreed to wait for an ascertainment of the facts of
the whole group of caws while such a ground of
dissoseism was ready to be entered upon at once.
They and we nest hear what the British lieut.-
liant's version is, and how the various impugned
commanders account for their recent proceedings.
Meantime, we observe some statements in American
journals which bear on the ease, not very remotely,
and which will also have to be explained if the
Americans desire to establish a ems of insonoce far
themselves.

An American resident on the African coast'
writes home that since April, lir, the Eng-
lish cruisers have captured twenty-two slavers, 9,
which all but sae were American—d" greater nun-
b„ belonging to New York, Boston, and New
Orleans. Again . a Louisiana newspaper, the
Baton Rouge Advocate, relates that the Go-
vernor of the State, Governor Wraturen,
has received a letter from New York, sr
ing a supply of native Africans on the most
advantageous terms, if the State of Louisiana shield
adopt the new Frisch policy, which the Legislature
was , the. *Goodwin, but has ponesed. The
applicant fur the nosey, • eitiaeo of New York,
prams• to knew " all about' the Slave ?reds, and is
ready to condaet the contractors to the most ?avow-
able points of the coast for obtaining " apprentices,"
without molestation from any quarter; and he,
boasts of " • had of experience and koowledge"
this business w►isk would be highly valuable to the
State of Locki•s& Bach incidents prepare us for
andiog that there are two sides to this controversy,
se to every other.

Oa. point of extreme importance most be urged
upon Lord Mince, if he ball not mtistied our 00-
vernment upon it already. It is surprising that
Lord BILOCORAN had not obtained an explanation
from Lord CLARENDON before lest Batarday's meet.

roe thing more which we should have been glad to hear
