C I 10.1, TUE 3 DA V, OCTOBER 7, 1856.

When shall we be free from .American difii•
culties ? They seen to pssals a hydra-like
quality ; for no sooner is one angry head disposed
of than another even more menacing spring.; up,
and taxes all our forbearance and energies to •
avert the fatal consequences that may arise froni
its reckless action. There are a number of per-
sons of the " HANNISAL CaOLLOP " 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 ware 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 TESPASTAN, nov olet nummus,
by the declaration that " one vote" is as good as
another; and that a filibustering ticket is not to
be rejected, providing it could turn the scale at
the election, and give a renewed tenure of office
to the Democratic party, who feel with dismay
.bat coveted ground rapidly slipping from
beneath them. Hence the onslaughts on the
linglish Government in reference to the Central
American and Enlistment questions, and the un-
ceremonious expulsion of the British Minister 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 oousins will
be neutralised so long as the PIERCE party is at
the head of affairs. 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. Caamprox and the Consuls
passed 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 Ruatan
has been surrendered, in obedience to a strictly
literal interpretation of the CLAYTON-BULWER
Treaty. Raving thus done everything on our part
to prevent the possibility of war, and to render the
Western political horizon perfectly cloudless, we
find a new aggression threatened, to which even
American writers admit it is perfectly impossible
that England could submit. No sooner has one
conflagration been extinguished than a 8 fre h fire-
brand is recklessly, we should
almost say advisedly,,
cast into the combustible
mass, and those who
should, from their position, strive to suppress the
flames are only intent on adding fresh fuel
thereto.

It can scarcely be credited that within a
few weeks—we might almost say days—from
the supposed termination of the Central American
difficulty, when England had yielded
on every
point to the PIERCE MARCY construction o.
CLATTON-BULWER Treaty, than itsthe
wilful and
deliberate violation is proposed by an
United
Commissioner to the Cabinet of Washington, and
as seriously taken into consideration by its mem_
bers. say, we receive a semi-official hint that
the President and "JEFF DAvis," the War
Minister, cordially concur in the recommendation,

Who is to answer the impudent circular of
Russia P Time was when a diplomatist on the
other side of the channel could reply to a NES -
SELRODZ in a style which elicited commenda-
tions even from one of the ablest judges, Lord
LYNDSUBST. But that pen has long been silent.
It is now wielded by one of whose capacities in
that line we have records in the Protocols against
the Belgian Press. Worse than that, one who
could at the Conference, consign to oblivion, that
is to a grave in Russian barbarism, the country
whence he drew his name ; one, too, who shared
his master's solicitude for Russian " dignity,"
and who did his best to leave her as big as ever,
albeit somewhat faint with depletion of roubles and
soldiers. Cunt WlLzwsict is the last man we
should wish to tell Russia what the world, of
freemen, think of her. An American fellow-
slaveholder would do it as well. He would
take counsel with Baron SEEBACII, or per-
haps send to Russia, as he did about
making PELISSIER Duke of Malakhoff, to know how
his newly-crowned Czarship would like the docu-
ment to be worded. When DROITYNDE
was Corresponding Secretary to the Allies, we had
also the additional advantage of getting the docu-
ments in the Moniteur, or some where, when Pat-

Liament was not sitting.
Our Lord PAL3IERSTON could do it ; and do it
as it ought to be done—but dares ho do it ?
Wita.t would his Coburg and Paris masters say if
he did ? What would become of the alliance
the alliance between constitutional liberty and the
aesp,itism of police, spies, Cayenne, and a
:;aged Press, if PALMERSTON were to write
1
to the British agents over all Europe in
the old Palmers!onian style ; in the style
which gained him his character both lvre
and abroad, and for which this country made
him Prime Minister of the War Cabinet I :Russia
needs a thorough diplomatic hutriblin(:, in
the eyes of all the East and the West.
" The Precious Peace," once concluded,
knowing that silo had honest Governments to
deal with, she returned at once to her old kna-
very and assumptions, quite confident that she
would be dealt with as she wisho-1, not as
she deserved. Her entire behaviour since
has fully justified our denunciations of this
year's winter and spring policy. Russia was
indeed made to ask for peace—but she was
not made to do it on her knees It ,vas essential
to the repose of the world that she should be
thoroughly humbled and weakened—our most
experienced Statesman in the Lords told our
Government this, but nothing would do except
"saving Russia humiliation"—saving her the
very thing which, for Europe's sake, she needed.
The immediate consequences were, the Isle of
Serpents, the retention of Kars, the destruction
of the fortifications, and the attack on the Cir-
cassians--and now, before the crown is well got
easy on the bead of the Czar, and while the special
ambassadors aro yet at his court, this shameless
lecture from him whom we ought to have made
afraid to open his mouth as arbiter of Europe
again. Surely wo had enough of that kind of
thing from NICHOLA S ; and we ought to have
taken good care that it was buried in his grave.
We should think every British offieer and in-
telligent private who reads this Circular must bite
his lips from very annoyance, that the whippers-
in at home sounded back just as the game was in
view. How they must feel to see such a reward
for their toils, and wounds, and sacrifices ! One
campaign more, and they would have saved Prime
Ministers and Secretaries the humiliation •f such
saucy circulars as these, and the trouble of answer-
ing them. They would not have left Russia as
big territorially as ever; they would have spared
all quibblings about Bolgrad and the Isle
of Serpents. They would have taught her
to raise the question rather; whether the new
boundary was to cut off Bessarabia as well as the
Crimea and Circassia, or Poland as well as both,
or Finland as well as the other four. They would
not have left her to lecture the Allies about the
" sanctity
equality of the rights of Sovereigns, and their
among themselves, however small their
' territories,"—while she herself swaggers in this
style through having absorbed,
_,n all sides, Sove-
reigns once as independent au ie Czars. Why,
following her example, Enfzland and France
might not merely threaten tyrants who are be-
come a European nuisance ; they might, on Rus-
sian, and Prussian, and Austrian , principles too,
divide their dominions among themselves 1 Well
—the thing is done for the present ; and our
EVANSES, and WILLIAMSES, and %%imams, and
the LA MARIfORAS abroad, are now doomed to
read these insulting circulars, from the very foe
they have with such weak magnanimity been
ordered to leave half punished.

With all his pretensions, however, wo must
confess that the braggart somewhat betrays Lira_
self. GORTSCHAKOFF is clever, very clever ; but
he is not quite a NESSELRODE yet. He would

not have trumped up an excuse for the
vox et pneterea nihil of his Circular, would
not have betrayed that nothi►ig was intended.
but Pcli-work. Very patriotic, to be sure,

so that the mischief may be effected before the
election of FREMONT will scotch the snake for at
least four years to come. A certain AMOS B.
CORwDTE, who had doubtless received full in-
structions from head-quarters, and knew what
might be made a handle of to advance his own
personal interests, has the rather doubtful merit
of kindling the torch on the present occasion. He
declares that he feels it " a duty incumbent on him
to recommend the immediate occupancy of the
Isthmus from ocean to ocean by the United
States." It is true that he qualifies the suggestion
by hinting that it may not be indispensable,
if New Granada can satisfy as to her
ability and inclination to afford proper protec-
tion, and to make speedy and ample atonement
for the wrongs inflicted (1) on his countrymen.
As, however, another conclusion is that the govern-
ment of New Granada is unable to maintain law
and enforce order on this Isthmus, and afford
adequate protection to the transit, it is quite
manifest that this is a distinction without a difference,
and that the proposal should be taken without
any drawback. Where, then, is this fillibus-
tering system, openly patronised by the Cabi-
net at Washington, to end ? It is manifest
that British forbearance, or, as some might
term it, British poltroonery must some time
cease. We cannot for ever remain " a chopping
block" on which Yankee Commissioners are to
exercise their wits. A wise and prudent Cabinet
would administer severe censure to the party who
so far and so unwarrantably exceeds the limits
assigned to him, and ventures to recommend what
would involve his goveznment in a well-founded
charge of iolated faith, and his country in a
formidable war. Mr. Antos B. CORWINB
as sent merely to investigate facts. He usurps
the functions of the Executive by recommending
the course to be adopted. So long as every petty
official is permitted to pursue such a course with
impunity, and to disturb the mind of the people
with such projects, it is impossible to hope that
the Government can maintain amicable relations
with other independent nations.
