LONDON, TUESDAY. AUG UST 10, 1852

Anxiety is very generally and very naturally felt
as to the probable consequences .)f the misunder-
standing recently excited, in refers :ace to our North
American Fisheries, between the respective Govern-
ment of the United States and the United King‘
dom. It is dreaded lest the precipitancy of the late
Proceedings of the British maritime force in the Bay
Fundy may so far arouse feelhigs of indigna-
Lion among the Americans as to lead in the end
to the most disastrous hostilities between the
Angl°-Saxon race on either side of the Atlantic.
Against any such calamity it is, of course, in the
highest degree desirable that the future should b©
guarded by our diplomatists. For upon the continued
maintenance of peace between the American Republic
and the English Monarchy the sacred interests and
august principles of civilization are in a great mea-
sure dependent. Conscious—we may fairly confess it
at once—painfully
conscious that the welfare of mil-
lions may be hanging at this moment upon the settle-
ment of this somewhat intricate question,
it becomes necessary, we conceive, to ex-
amine the matter with as ranch dispassionate
caution as possible in justice to thr Americans, and
we will add also with especial earrwstness, in justice
to her Britannic MAJESTY'S Government.
It has been the lot of the Earl of MALMESUtaY to
be treated by the whole mass of the Opposition as the
scapegrace, or, at any rate• as the scapegoat of the
Administration. Whatever has gone amiss in public
affairs
Since the Earl of DERBY first formed his Cabi-
net in Pebruary—and unluckily several things have
gone amiss since that period—the blame has almost
invariably been thrown upon the unfortunate Foreign
Secretary, sow, as to the administrative abilities
of the Earl of DaAtuxenURY, we must acknowledge
that from the outs
of the existence of the DERBY
t
e
Government,
community, were left only
we, in common with the rest of the
conjec-
tures. From th d.is exce€ I • •
to a wilderness of
Inw'moua manner in
