BRITISH CROANS.

From the London Courier, May SO.
We have given to-day some addition
al extracts from our last files OF Ameri-
can papers, and among them the entire
report of the committee on naval af-
fairs, respecting the annual progress
made in the building Of ships OF war
AS we observed on Saturday, this is a
document which comes we'll recommen-
ded to our notice, by considerations of
very obvious kind. Not only the ex.
tent, but the quality not merely the
number, but the size and equipment
of the vessels, launched from the gov.
ernmsnt dock.yards of the United
States should occupy so much of our
attention, as to leave US nothing to learn
or to remedy, should war take place
between the two countries. We urge
this, because it is updeniable that the
slight advantages gained at sea, during
the last war, were purely the result OF
superior weight of metal, and supe-
rior number OF able bodied seamen, be-
ing attached to vessels nominslly rased
as frigates, but in reality of a much lar
ger class. Perhaps the greatest mischief
which has grown cut Of this circum-
stance has been a sort of vain confidence
in the American people, which would
be extremely likely to precipitate the
government into hostilities, if, unfortu-
nately, there should hereafter arise any
dispute calculated to bear such an issue,
Ga the other hand, there would be, un-
der such circumstances, a feeling OF
different, but not decisive kind, in this
country; feeling of vehement desire
to show that it was accidental, not pos
tive superiority, which plucked leaf
or two from the laurel wreath of Eng
lands naval glory. To prevent re.
currence to these provocations OF war,
it will be much better, whenever the
two nations shall happen to be again
committed to hostilities, that all doubts
should be satisfactorily removed upon
these points. Therefore it is, that we
have brought under special notice the
report made to the house Of Represen-
tatives, of what has been already done
with respect to augmenting their navy,
what it is intended to do, and more es.
pecially the grounds of both, as set
forth by the committee.

FROM PANAMA AND TRINIDAD.
The schr. Selma, Sistare, arrived at this
port yesterday, from Calthagena and Trim
dad. By this arrival We have received
Panama papers to the 10Th of May, and
some verbal intelligence. these
we learn that the official intelligence of
Boivar's victorious entry int5 Pasta, had
been received at Panama. The news OF
his occupation OF Quito had also been re-
Ceived.
The earthquake 90 the lsthmus, during
the month of May, had caused considera-

The negotiations with the Indians, un-
der the new government, mad been pro-
ductive of the most happy effects.

ton of tobacco, from which il appears that
the duty on this article has been fixed at
Dso per quintal for Cuba, and BIO for Vir-
