LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1856.

Public attention is, for the time being, concen-
trated ou the American difficulty. It is, par ex-
cellence, the question of the day ; and the more
threatening the aspect of the political horizon, the
more anxiously does every right-minded man look
for the next movement on the part of either of
the Cabinets of St. James's or of Washington.
We have already suffered too much from the
laissez faire policy, that permitted Great Britain
to drift into a war from which she was after-
wardscompelled to drift out,without gaining either
honour or advantage in return for the serious
sacrifices of men and money to which the people
so patiently submitted. We are therefore natu-
rally desirous of avoiding similar mistakes in the
present instance, and adopting, while there is yet
time, measures that may avert so formidable a

calamity.
There must, however, be at least two parties to
every quarrel, and however moderate the views
and intentions of the one, the other may so act
as to render a pacific solution impossible without
a total sacrifice of honour—a matter even more
to be deprecated than the war with which
we are threatened. That, at least, must be vigi-
lantly guarded. It would be the last and worst
deprivation of all—oue to which no true-hearted
Englishman will patiently submit. Our transat-
lantic cousins, who are so peculiarly sensitive on
all matters in which they themselves are con-
cerned, must be well aware that we cannot tamely
yield to the blustering arrogance with which the
United States Government have dealt with our
own in all points of difference between them. On
the Central American question it positively rejected
the arbitration which we repeated!ar and pressingly
tendered, endeavouring to become the judge in
its own cause, and to force with the strong hand
its own partial and one-sided interpretation of the
terms of the CLAYTON-BULWER Treaty on our
acceptance. Its Government may (for there
is no accounting for misapprehensions in
such matters) fancy themselves to be right.
But surely if satisfied of the justice and validity
of their claims they would willingly agree to the
proposed reference. The very refusal to abide
the decision of an impartial tribunal is one of the
strongest arguments that can be adduced against
them.

Again, in reference to the Enlistment question,
every just and reasonable apology has
been ten-
dered for any unintentional violation of the law of
the United States. That it WAS " unintentional',
is manifest from the instructions given by Lord
CLARENDON, which particularly and emphatically
declared that the law was to be respected, and that
the utmost care must be taken against its infrac-
tion in any, even the most trifling, manner. Nor
was this all. The moment that complaints were
made, the demands for redress were anticipated
by an immediate stop being put to the course
objeoted to ; and an ample apology being
tendered, even before it was demanded, for any-
thing that might have occurred displeasing to the
American Government. Surely this might be suf-
ficient for the most thin-skinned and sensitive
persons. It was repeated us as ad nauseam.
Apology after apology, concession after conces-
sion being made, until it was obvious that the
parties to whose charge the interests of the United
States were unfortunately confided were solely
striving to make political capital out of the hu-
miliation of Great Britain, and to catch a few
straggling votes, reckless of the disturbance that
must ensue between the political relations of the
two great branches of the Anglo-Sax.on
The stunmary dismissal ofMr. CRAMPTON is but a
partof the same system. As wehave recentlyshown,
a previously convicted. [pickpocket could scarcely
be comp romised by the tainted evidence of such
