LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1853.

There has been a semi-official announcement
confirmatory of the dismissal of Mr. CRAMPTON,
and with him of the three English Consuls, who
are alleged to have violated the spirit of the neu-
trality laws of the United States. Mr. DALLAS
has, it is declared, communicated to Lord CLAREN-
DON a despatch which contains the intelligence of
the final decision of the PIERCE-MARCY Cabinet,
to the effect that they will hold no further diplo-
matic intercourse with the present Minister of
England, and that the exequatur will be with-
drawn from the three Gentlemen whom it suits
the electioneering purposes of the Candidate Presi-
dent also to victimise. The statements which we
have recently put forward on this interesting and
most important subject have been thus fully and
completely verified. A wilful and deliberate in-
sult has been offered to the Government and
people of Great Britain, and our bullying assailants
must have supposed that we were gifted with
an extraordinary amount of forbearance, or
what they consider synonymous thereto, of paltry
cowardice, if they imagined fJr a moment that
the outrage could he offered with impunity.

It is true that the aggression has been effec-
ted with complimentary expressions towards
the English Government, and that it is accom-
panied by an intimation that Mr. DALLAS has
been empowered to enter into negotiations on all
points in dispute respecting Central America, and
in the event of being unable to arrive at a satis-
factory arrangement to refer to the arbitration of
an umpire jointly approved of. But we are not
children to be alternately coaxed and bullied—to
receive a bonbon or lump of sugar, as compensa-
tion for an unmerited and unjustifiable castiga-
tion. The doing an act of simple justice in one
matter cannot be regarded as a set-off against a
wanton insult in another. Whatever may be
the result of the Central American difficulty,
it is altogether distinct and apart from that re-
lating to the enlistment question. Our Cabinet
repeatedly offered to submit all matters of differ-
ence to the arbitration of any impartial State.
The just and reasonable proposition was at one
time turned off with a sickly attempt at wit. At
another with the arrogant declaration that there
was nothing whereon to arbitrate. The Washing-
ton Cabinet nought to be the sole judge in its own
cause, and although we may rejoice that there has
been a tardy adoption of a correct course, we can-
not therefore submit to insult and injury on a
very different question.

We cannot now enter on this matter with Mr.
DALLAS—which, if the PIERCE-MARey Cabinet
were sincere in their professions, might long since
have been disposed of—and for a very good
reason. Thd summary dismissal of Mr. CRAMP_
TON and the Consuls must lead to that of Mr.
DALLAS, and the suspension of all diplomatic inter-
course with the present Government of the United
States. Messrs. PIERCE and MARcv must have
been well aware of this fact. To think otherwise
would be an additional insult. The tardy offer is
therefore perfectly illusory—a mere pretext to jus-
tify themselves for previous refusals, that must 119
condemned by every unprejudiced and right-
minded person on either side of the Atlantic. It
has also been withheld until matters have been
greatly complicated by the official recognition of
the Government of the Pirate WALKER and his
filibustering gang, in whose favour they have
apparently suspended the neutrality laws about
which they profess such extraordinary solicitude.
The hollowness of the specious pretext is thus
clearly and unequivocally manifested, and reams
of diplomatic correspondence cannot get rid of
" the damning fact."

The gross and unwarranted ineult to Mr.
