LONDON. Aug. Q.


we insert some extracts from the Anne
rican papers received yesterday. Meet
lngs have taken place in most os the prin-
cipai towns upon the affair between the
Chesapeake and Leopard. The reso,uti-
ons Of these assemblies are marked with
all the violence, intemperance, and the fu-
ry Of invect;ye, which might have been ex-
pected. The pilots have been recalled
IRON the British squadron, all communica-
ticn was stopped, and no supplies whatc-
yer were allowed to be sent to il. AS
matter OF favor and indulgence, the British
consul had obtained permission to commu-
nicste with the ships of war; but it was
resolved should any British officer come A.
shore, except in a flag of truce, he should
be made prisoner. If all this he not down.
right, unqualified hostility, we know not
what acts are to be so interpreted. What
kind OF government must that be in which
the executive power, from fear or incom-
petencc, cannot, or burst not, control the
tumu!tu"us resolves of a violent and irno-
rant mob If the popuacc of America are
to take the law into their own hands, ON
occasions like this, and give the tone to
the government, the maintenance of the
customary relations with the United States
VIII be almost impossible. Suppose the in
i'oN4tah'S Va tHG IbrltiSn empire were to
initiate the example of these frantic meet
ines, and cut off all supplies from the nu-
merous American Vessels (nearly 1000 we
understand) now in our ports. is there
not here an ample field for retaliation But
this is an idea which possibly never enter
ed the wise heads Of the trainers of these
resolutions, or if it did, was studiousIv hid
from the deluded and unthinking multi
tude, whom they are goading into war, TO
gratiiy their private passions and interests.
we shall be surprised ifthis popular frcn-
~ among the Americans endure for any
time. 1t is too rash, too hastv. too mad
yised, 70 last long. 1t has no fair or real
foundation. The people Of that country do
not appear to have been in possession of
the real state Of the case. The acitators
have suppressed and kept back all tie cir
cumstancesot aggravation, insul., and con-
icmptuous refusal Of justice. As congress
was to have been assembled in the course
OF last month, we look with some confidence
TO the deliberations Of that body. We
trust that they will step between their
country and the greatest calamity, next 20
the loss of its liberty, which could belall
u. There are those among them who un-
derstand and pursue the true Interests Of
America, and il is TO the manner i'm which
they will discuss this subject, and not 20 the
foolish and intempcratc resolutions Of the
mobocfacy Of the country, that We look
with any anxiety.

HEILsBERG, JUNE -, 1907.
Negotiations OF peace had taken place
during the whole winter. a general con-
SreSs has been proposed to France, to
which all the beliigercrt powers was to
, have becr admitted, Turkey alone excep-
ted. The emperor had been Justly in,!ig-
nant at such proposition. Aftcr few
| months parle! ing, 1t was agreed that all
TIC beIhSereut powers, without exception,
should send p.eripo;entiaTies TO the con-
Cress which should be he'd at Copenhagen.
Inc emperor had made known that Jur-
key was admitted 10 make common cause
IN the negotiations with France, there was
no inconvenience in England making ccm-
mon cause with Russia. The enemies then
asked upon what basis the congress wculd
have to negotiate. They proposed ncne,
and would, however, have the emDeror
-
station to declare, that in his opinion. the
oasis OF ncgoc alton ought to be equality
and reciprocity between the two bcllieer-
ent masses, and that the two beliceTent
masses should enter in common into sys.
tenn Of compcnsations.
The moderation, the elearness, the rea-
diness Of this answer left the enemies Of
peace no doubt upon the pacific dispositi-
ons of the emperor. They dreaded the ef-
fects of them, and az the very moment
when it was answered, that there was no
further obstacle to the opening of the con-
gress, the Russian army quilted its cam
tCnments and came to attack TIE French
army. Blood has, therefore, again been
shed but at least France is innocent of
it. There has been 70 pacific overture but
the emperor has Listened 10. There has
been no snare laid by the abeltors of war
bnt his viii has avoided They irccnsi-
Gerattly made the Russian army run to
arms, when they saw their steps baalrd
and these criminal enterprises which ius-
ticc disavuws, have been COMPOUNDED. New
checks have been drawn upon the arms Of

OF France. Nothing more fully proves
