LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1F56.

When shall we be free from American diffi-
valties ? They seem to possess a hydra-like
quality ; for no sooner is one angry head disposed
of than another even more menacing springs up,
and taxes all our forbearance and energies to
avert the fatal consequences that may arise from
its reckless action. There are a number of per-
sons of the " atairmnir. CHOLLOP" class, who
chuckle as they chew, and, expectorating their
bile with their tobacco juice, talk of " walloping
the Britishers," and " extracting the claws from
the Lion," as if they were the easiest tasks ima-
ginable. These habitual boasters would be beneath
contempt were it not for the countenance and
support which they have received from the
existing Government, which bids largely for the
support of these " loose fish "—paraphrasing
the exclamation of VESPASTAN, nov olet nummits,
by the declaration that " one vote" is as good as
another ; and that a filibustering ticket is not to
be rejected, providing it could tura the scale at
the election, and give a renewed tenure of office
to the Democratic party, who feel with dismay
.hat coveted ground rapidly slipping from
beneath them. Hence the onslaughts on the
English Government in reference to the Central
American and Enlistment question q, and the un
ceremonious expulsion of the British Miniser and
Consuls. These insults were, however, partially
submitted to by England. They were probably
regarded as merely electioneering dodges by the
out-going President, and dealt with in such a
spirit that might have tamed the most pugnacious
specimens of humanity into placability.
But it is clear that all our efforts to maintain
peace with our choleric and grasping cousins will
be neutralised so long as the PIERCE party is at
the head of afftirs. Not only was the most com-
plete and satisfactory answer ever returned by an
independent nation to an accuser forwarded to
Washington—not only was the contumelious
treatment of Mr. CRAMPTON and the Consuls
paesseci over, without in any degree
affecting the reception accorded to Mr.
DALLAS, but we have yielded the full ex-
tent of the demands so unreasonably preferred,
and the British protectorate of the Mosquito ter-
ritory, which was so long maintained, has
been formally abandoned. Even the Isle of &ratan
in obedience to a strictly
btu; been surrendered,
literal interpretation of the CLAYTON-BULWER
Treaty. Having thus done everything OR our 1 art.
to prevent the possibility of war, and to render the
Western political horizin perfectly cloudless, we
find a
new arre.sion threatened, to which even
American writers admit it is perfectly impossible
that England could submit. No sooner has one
conflagration
been extinguished than a fresh fire-
brand is recklessly, We should almost say advisedly,
cast into the combustible mass, and those svr.;
should, from their position, strive to suppress the
flames are only intent
on adding fresh fuel
thereto.

It can scarcely he er edi•
ted that within a
few weeks—we might
u nay ilay3—from
the supposA termination of the central Anwrican
difficulty, when England had 3rihi,..d
on every
M point to the PIERCE ARCY Construction, ofthe
CLA YTON-
BolwElt Treaty, than its -witfid and
deliberate violation is proposed by an United
Commissioner to the Cabinet of 'Washington, and
as seriously taken' into consideration by ite, meal_
berg. Nay, we receive a semi-official hint that
the President and " JEFF DAvrs," the War
Minister, cordially concur in the recommendation,
