(Front the Morning Post of this clay. )
The intelligence which has just reached this
country from the United States is, in one respect,
little calculated to restore that good understanding
which all sensible Englishmen and Americans must
wish to see preserre(l between two nations linked
together by so many ties of common origin, com-
mon sympathy, and common interest. The Foreign
Enlistment question still appears to remain un-
settled ; and, if we are to accept the statements
published in the American newspapers as correctly
interpreting—which we have reason to fear they
do—the policy that the Cabinet at Washington is
determined at all risks and hazards to pursue,
" the reparation " mentioned in the President's
Message amounts to this—the recall of Mr. Cramp-
ton, and, in the event of non-compliance on the
part of the British Government, the delivery to
that gentleman of his passports, and the withdrawal
of the exequiturs of three British Consuls sup-
nosed to be implicated in the same alleged in-
fringement of the neutrality laws of the United
States. What means the American papers may
have of becoming acquainted so accurately with
the secrets of the Cabinet at Washington, it is idle
as well as useless for us at so great a distance to at-
tempt to guess or divine. In all probability some
of them have lent themselves to that dangerous
system of bluster which -Mr. Pierce and Mr. At-
torney-General Cushing have thought proper to
adopt, with a view to influence the next Presi-
dental election, and have inferred the probable
policy of the Administration from the only in-
stance which the history of their country affords
of the compelled recall of a Foreign Minister,
and of the withdrawal of the exequaturs of Fo-
reign Consuls. In the year 17'93, Citizen Genet,
the Minister-of the French Republic, signalised the
eemnsencement of his diplomatic career. in the
United States by fitting out, in the American
ports, privateers to cruise against English commerce
—England being a Power with whom the United
States was at peace, though she was engaged in
warfare with France. Citizen Genet answered the
remonstrances addressed to him by Washington—
who naturally wished to preserve a position of
honourable neutrality—by a most insolent letter,
appealing from the President to the people, and
Washington forthwith sent him his passports, of
which, however, Citizen Genet did not avail him-
self, having a discreet suspicion that his head would
not be safe on his return to his own country. He
was, nevertheless, divested of his diplomatic cha-
racter, and continued for the remainder of his life
to reside under the protection..of that very Power
whose laws he had violated. About the same time
e French Consul, M. Duplaine, had caused a vessel
m be rescued from the custody of the officers of
the United States, and in this case his exequatnr
was very properly withdrawn by President
Washington. In both these instances the vio-
lation of the neutrality laws of the United States
was open and undisguised. These precedents,
no doubt, have occurred to the recollection of our
ransatlantic contemporaries, and they have come
to the conclusion that the time lute arrived when
President Pierce may, with advantage to himself,
parody the proceeding of the great Washington,
by demanding the recall of-et Foreign Minister,
and withdrawing the exequafocrs of certain Foreign
Consuls. The cases are not in the slightest degree
similar. M. Genet and M. Duplaine were them-
selves, directly and personally, implicated in an
offence which, beyond dispute, violated the law of
the State to which they were accredited ; but in
the case of Hertz (for we cannot call it the case of
Mr. Crampton), the attempt which was made in
the district court of Pennsylvania was to connect
that gentleman with the acts of certain agents, who
proved their honesty by conveniently turning
States' evidence, and by making statements which,
if of any value, only amounted to this—that they
had not succeeded in extorting the money which they
had originally expected to receive: But the straw-est
part of the whole affair is, that the American *Go-
vernnien t, whilst it is willing to adopt and act upon
the evidence of common informers, entirely disre-
gards the memoranda produced at the trial, whish
state that no act must he done which would " con-
, stitute a violation of the law of the United States ;"
or " bear the appearance of recruiting within the
jurisdiction of the United States ;" and that, if the
strict observance of these points were neglected,
the parties " must expect no sort of aid or assist-
ance from the British Government." The com-
mission of the alleged offence was preceded by
these instructions, framed with scrupulous care to
avoid any possible infringement of the law of the
'United States ; and after it became known to the
British Government that a constructive and unin-
tentional cause of complaint had been given, the
whole scheme of recruitment was at once stopped,
stud ample explanations-and apologies were ten-
dered and given. One American paper states :
" Lord Palmerston insists that sufficient explana-
tion and apology have already been given to tho
United States, and our Government, with equal
pertinacity, insists on the contrary. On the dis-
agreement on this point all further correspondence
between the two Governments has closed. The
special Message which the President has in readi-
ness for the Congress will be found to sustain this
statement." Hero we may observe, that at the
time when these opinions were expressed, intelli-
gence had not reached America of an early prospect
of the restoration of peace in Europe. The naval
power of England—never more fully developed
than at present, comprising a force of ships of the
line, frigates, and mortar and gun-boats, in com-
parison with which the entire navy of the United
States is but a weak and inefficient squadron, will,
with the certainty of peace, be set at liberty to act
in vindication of the national honour in whatever
quarter it may be assailed. The change, there-
fore, which has recently come over the drama of
European politics will, no doubt, have its proper
weight with all reflecting men in the United States,
and they will consider whether, in a point of mere
international punctilio—which has been the sub-
ject of explanation and apology—a war should be
rashly and wickedly proveked, which would sweep
American commerce from the seas, and lay the
whole seaboard of the Union open to the attacks of
the greatest naval Power in the world.

(From the Daily News of this flay.)
It might not be amiss if some of the more zealous
encomiasts of Lord Palmerston were to call to mind
the lesson of the dinner gi yen by the Reform Club
to Sir Charles Napier before' he sailed for the Baltic.
It will bo wise to reserve their songs of triumph
for the Premier's succems as a war minister and
peace-maker until the peace is really concluded ;
as it would have been wise to have reserved the
eloquent tributes to Sir Charles's exploits in the
Baltic until they had been achieved. When the
peace is concluded, and found to ;.‘e such as Eng-
land has a right to expect, we shall• not be cold or
slow in our acknowledgriTenta. of tho merit of the
Minister to whom we owe it ; but, to nse a homely
proverb, we don't like to " count our chickens be-
fore they are hatched." Of all kinds of discounting,
the discounting of honour and glory is the most
dangerous.
It is not because our belief in the near approach
of peace is shaken, or because we doubt that the
terms—though short of what we could wish—will
be suc!i as England may accept without dishonour,
that we make this remark. The .object with which
the war was commenced was to assert the inde-
pendence and integrity of the Oh oman Empire.
Russia has been forced to recoil ; to relinquish her
arrogant claim to be recognised a: I scarereign medi-
ator between the Sultan and the sok:acts of the
Greek rite. More than this, Russia has consented
not to rebuild her Black Sea fleet or maimtain mili-
tary arsenals on the Euxine, and to cede a portion
of Bessarabia. We admit that these terms .4,10 not
appear to us sufficient to ensure a permanent peace.
We believe that Russia's policy is merely rectger
pour mieux saucer. But we believe that sufficie.'it
time will be gained before she can be ready to
make another spring, to admit of her destined
victims placing themselves in -a position to defy
her utmost efforts. The Russian retreat leaves
Turkey stronger than she has been at any time
since the suppression of the Janissaries and
the destruction of her fleet at Navarino. It
will be Turkey's own fault if the termination
of the respite that has been gained for her does
not find her in a condition to make such a stand
against Russia as she has never done since her con-
flicts with that ambitious and unscrupulous power
began. It is true that another campaign
certainly have sent Russia's Baltic fleet to keep
Wowed
company with her fleet of the Black Sea, and would
have enabled Poland to re-assert her nationality.
Another campaign would have more effectually
tamed Russia's spirit of lawless aggression. But
it is evident that our great Ally shrinks from the
wider issues which a prolongation of the contest
would necessarily have opened, avd there is no call
on England to undertake single-hslncled the task of
making "assurance doubly sure."
in making this concession, how ever, we take for
;ranted that the terms to which ale Russian Cabi-
net* the very least
have already set their bands ai.e
