LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 16, 1856.

The .despatches from Mr. MARCY relative to
the dismissal of Mr. CRA3IPTON, and the revocation
of the exequaturs to Messrs. AIATHEWS, BARCLAY,
and ROWECROFT, have been duly published, and
will be found in extenso in another part of this
day's impression. They are exactly of the cha-
racter we have - already described, inflicting the
gross insult in very courteous language, and ex-
pressing an anxious desire to maintain the most
amicable relations, while virtually suspending
diplomatic intereourse.
Her MAJESTY'S Government are fully and com-
pletely accoitted of the charges previously pre
ferred. The conciliatory spirit displayed in L)rd
CLARENDON'S Note is du'y acknowledged, but at
the same time the Minister and CJUSUIS of the
English Gevernmerit are grossly insulted and
seriously injured. They are punished without
being allowed to defend themselves, or proving
that they are innocent of the grave offences
laid
to their charge. This is totally opposed to the
spirit of the constitutional laws of the United
States as well as of t'lis country. It exhibits
a pettifogging spirit totally unbecoming the
government of a really great nation, and seems as
if they were nettiated by the desire to seize with
avidity any pretext fur offence.
The matter; too, is greatly aggravated by the
fact, that at the very time when they were re-
senting, with such stringent tenacity, an alleged
violation of the municipal laws and of the sove-
reign rights of the Republic, they had recognised
the piratical government of Nicaragua, which was
altogether foUnded on a far more decided infrac-
tion of those •very laws and rights, and which
infraction; if not directly sanctioned, was at
least tacitly connived at by the PIERCE-MARCY
Cabinet. It is idle to say that the offence of
Messrs. 02AMPTON MATHEWS, BARCLAY, and
ROWECROFT cannot be forgiven, while the far
more serious- acts of WALKER and his associates
are regarded not merely with indifference, but
oven indirectly encouraged. It is thus evident
that there is more in the matter than meets the
eye, and that the insult to Great Britain iA
founded on some unexpressed purpose, with the
intention of Making political capital for a falling
and hitherto. Unpolsdi
r vernment---to catch,
in fact,:ithe doubtful voted for the Presidential
population,
election,- .of the worst alias of the
of those who omit no opportunity
of expressing
'their. ardent desire "
to whip the tarnatioa
Britishers," and to administer a severe castigatio,
to " the unnatural mother."
It would have been more to the credit of
Messrs. PIERCE and MARCY if they had refrained
from trespassing on such doubtful-ground for such
improper purposes. :"'They have exhibited a little-
ness of mind that. must seriously degrade their
country.... ,Even if all that has been alleged against
the British Minister and Consuls could be esta-
blished, beyond the possibility of doubt or eon-
treverayin'Sfrong Government, conscious of its
own posi:tioni:would have disdained to avail itself
of a merey-13ersenal, charge, or to have pursued
with unrelasting animosity four individuals for
acting is dience 'to instructions which they
were bognd obey, even if through excess of
zeal they-had e_*O;ioded the authorised limits. The
Americairo4lADA ilaishowever, deliberately and
advisedly•adopted its course and it remains for
Lord PALNIpIiT9N and hia colleagues to decide on
the measures which the honour and welfare of
the Uniteil kingdom imperatively demand.
