LORD MAYO'S INDIAN POLICY.

The various sources of Indian intelligence are unani-
mous in stating that, for Shere Ali at least, the Umballa
Conference has already produced good results. The
Ameer's position, both in Afghanistan and Turkestan,
has been greatly strengthened by his semi-alliance with
the Anglo-Indian Empire. Before he left Peshawur he
received very important letters from his son and repre-
sentative at Cabul, announcing that Balkh-Turkestan
has been quieted by the news of the support promised
to the Ameer at Cabul. All the chiefs have tendered their
submission, even those who belonged to the party of the
pretender, Azim Khau.
Lord Mayo, as before stated, went very cautiously to
work. Knowing that a critical Cabinet was watching his
movements in London, be probably did not go so far as he
wished. But the Times correspondent says it is none the
less true that there is between the Ameer and ourselves an
understanding so clear and full that it is equivalent to the
most solemn treaty in the European sense ; while our pay-
ments are in every sense but the technical one a subsidy.
The position of the contracting parties involves much
more than meets the eye. The Ameer is deeply
impressed with the greathess of the British Empire
in India. In fact, he so thoroughly admires our
great army, large revenues, and orderly administra-
tion, that he is anxious to introduce the whole English
system into Afghanstan at once, and if not restrained his
enthusiasm may endanger his position. The statements
that the Ameer asked for the assistance of English officers
in training his troops, and for an English envoy at Cabul,
are denied by the 7iines of India.

INDIAN NOTES.
Another raid has been made into the British territory
on the North-West Indian frontier. About 2,000 head of
cattle have been carried off. Troops have been sent after
the marauders.

The widow of a brother of Tippoo Sultan, the famous
Indian ruler who was killed at Seringapatam, has just
died at the ripe age of 114 years.
Captain Sladen, our political agent at Mandalay, has
reported on the question of a land route between India
and China. His expedition has conclusively decided that
Bhamo, on the Irrawaddy, is the best starting point. Lord
Mayo will shortly be called upon to decide this important
matter.

The hopes of those who think there is occasion for
another expedition to Africa must now be on the wane.
One of the Somalis, sent into the interior of Africa from
Aden hi March last to inquire about the supposed sur-
vivors of the St. Abb's, has returned, after visiting a large
number of the tribes. lie expresses his conviction that no
Europeans are now in the country.
It is reported—but the report needs confirmation—that
the Ameer of Bokhaca has been killed by his eldest son,
the prince who was lately defeated by the Russians. If
this statement be correct, the occurrence will doubtless
afford a pretext for more incorporation on the part of
Russia.

AMERICAN AND ENGLISH IMPRESSIONS

(From the Anglo-American Tinzes)

The position assumed by America, which has
found expression in the press, is that she can lose
nothing by delay in settling the Alabama difficulty.
War can only arise from her action, as she holds
the thunderbolt in her own hand. England dare
not go to war, even with France and Spain to back
her. Mr. HENRY ADAMS says, " The absolute re-
jection of the treaty will make itself felt in the
whole future policy of the new Administration
towards foreign nations, causing distrust, anxiety,
possible derangement of commerce, and disturbance
of credit." But these just opinions are not gene-
rally entertained, a very dangerous delusion exist-
ing that England is at America'S mercy-, and this
is actually taught by a large section of the press.
No delusion is more dangerous, for it misleads, as
the South was misled in its estimate of the North
to learn the error by a most disagreeable expe-
rience. Money is the sinews of war now more
than ever, while mechanical power is its back-
bone, and if England has the greatest command of
money and of machinery, how can American editors
attempt to impose on the people the delusion that
England is weak? Judging by the English military
papers, the impression in their circles is that the
Republic, though a great nation, is comparatively
defeneeless,without credit, without ships, and with-
out guns! What credit she has, they hold, would in-
stantly collapse on the outbreak of such a war ; the
hastily-built yes els, improvised during the rebellion,
arc not adapted to contest with England the supre-
macy of the seas, and woul,l, they think, be driti, n
for shelter into American harbours, which, it
assumed, could not there be afforded, as the Rod-
man, the Parrott, and the Dahlgren guns are all fail-
ures, or if afforded could only be obtained by me ins
of torpedoes. Nor has the United States the power of
remedying
this, as the dockyards have fallen into die-
us,?, and are not in a condition to to et the require-
ments of war. It would be amusing to contrast the
common run of American and English newspapers
on this subject were it not sad to see them indulging
in a tone which may lead to a disastrous result. The
best of the English and American papers do not

thus write, for they know too well what would fol.
low such a contest. The bare mention of the sub-
;ect seeirs to have i•roduced a commercial crisis in
yew Yolk. If General GRANT, as some assert, is
it the bottom of the present most threatening com-
plication, it is probable he will live to regret it;
Tut we are far from believing that there is truth in
this report. We do not disguise the danger that
ooms ahead, and in this we differ from Vie COr-
:•espondent of the Timeg, believing it to be advisable
not therein to err, nor that it should be cloaked; for
„here e scores of thousands, who, when fully alive to
t, wou'd press hard to avert a disaster alike ruinous
o civilization and to commercial prosperity. The
/cry a'rgutnents so many American newspapers use
why England dare not go to war are precisely the
reasons why England will go to war. If that be
the general ,impression in America its coractioo
mly can avert the calamity, fur the same reason
,hat a boy at Emboli who dislikes and tries to avoid
-lighting is compelled in the end to fight three battles
.or the one that wou'd hare sufficed at the begl°

Thcro is wisdom in the instructions
NIOTLEY has received—to take no steps towards re-
)pening the controversy. Neither nation is now in
mood to approach so dangerous a topic, and it
would be as well first to let the passions raised, die
out. The American press is much surprised that

NIL.. SUMNER'S speech was not published in any Eng,
lish paper. It was published by Mr. STEVENS, Cu.
Elenrietta-street, Covent-garden, in better tYPe
han any newspaper could have given it, and its sale
would show whether the English press erred in 130
pr;nting it entire. Mr. SUMNER thinks that the
London papers will yet be compelled to publi.,,h
but we are at a loss to know why, as those sill°
want it can gec it from the above-mentioned house'

Uhe ground heretofore assumed by the Americ3o
;',overnment is in intaided in Mr. MOTLEY'S in'

itructions, and the question of Englan l's moral re-
sponsibility for the rtsults of the neutrality pro-
clamation insisted on for reference to arbitration.
If decided against England the damages are to be
dressed for payment ; but all this rests on the
fallacy that the position of England " under tl'e
sword of DA3IOCLES," as an American paper We'
is so intolerable that she will come to any terms ,
the Republic only waits. This is not a dangerous
error unless the United States gets impatient, 0r
she will have to wait long for a Settlement to be
thus obtained. The errors held about England on the
other side, as well as about America on this, are some"
times laughable. The notion findsgeneral expression
that it is a terrible position for her M.0E05
Government to have its hands so tied that it cannot
engage in any European complication, while the
nation and the Government are thankful to those
who give them a decent excuse for declining °
take part in European continental affairs, and fore'
mg them to keep the peace almost on fitly tercel:,
I.nother idea is that England is always str.v:ng
icquire territory and influence in foreign countries;
n Cuba, in the Sandwich Islands, in the Sollt
American Republics, anywhere, every where. C`'
instance, it was c'rculated all over the Republl:l
and generally believed, that England was about t 0
recognise Cuban independence, with a view to foga.
ing another Dominion in alVest India Confederati`3ll'
Ind thus prevent the absorption of these islaa,ha4
Into the Union. An i lea less in harmony
British policy could hardly have been conceile
or the notion that any one but a mad Britisher
cared a straw for the sentiment of the Sat-1(1110
Islands, or that Eng`and would accept every ge_A
in the Pacific as a gift even if accompanied by a Wile
sum of money. Thinking thus erroneously Of the
objects obj,cts and intentions of England, it must Oro
unirejudiced Americans that their countrymen aio
scarcely qualified to sit on the judgment seat, and rti.th
on the Alabama question in their own way, and s.vist
the evidence they have before them, indeed both nnici
a imit being disqualified as prejudiced against ea t,
other. It is very evident that they cannot assiwo
late even in the most remote degree their opil'i l°lo
on the subject, and their wisest course then, if tror
sensible people they desire a settlement, is to die
the discussion for the present and take the adl/41
of uninterested persons. Count Btsmanct: i$ 0(

the fashion in the United States, and he is one
whosesense and judgment most men rely; let hllafo
what questions in justice to both, can be referred .0
arbitration. As the matter now stands, Allier Air
makes a demand which England peremptorilY the
clines, and the more the nations talk over
de-
more confirmed either is that right is on her g.
