The United ,SiateS and Great Britain
The following remarks are made by the
Liverpool Mercury on Dir. CANsING's
preface TO the health of Mr.. HuGnEs at
the Liverpool Dinner:
ave arc much pleased TO read what
the Right Hon. Secretary for Foreign AT
fairs said, on preracng the health of Mr.
Hughes, the American Charge d'Alfairs to
the Court of Sweden, who was one of our
Mayors guests al the public dinner, on
Monday.
cit is indeed deeply 10 be regretted
that Mr.. Canning did not always regard
our transatlantic " daughter" So gracious
ly as lac appears to do at present but We
are too much graiifcd at the favorable
change 10 indulge in unpleasant remiui-
SCIENCES and shall therefore say as little as
possible about the Il" fir built frisates with
their bits of striped bunting" and certain
other contnmelious euthets, which tended
to interrupt that mutual good understand
ing which we are most happy to find the
Honorable Foreign Secretary at length du-
L
get, and historical justice forbids us TO
conceal, that whilst official impertincnce
aud insolent dictation were the order Of the
day with our ministers in their correspon-
drEce with the government of the United
States, there WAS one orator and states
man who took a more enlightened and
comprehensive view Of the subject and
who, by his almost superhuman efforts,
succeeded in opening the eyes of the coun
try to the unjust and ruinous policy of the
war With America"
This is rather sharp, and the more so
because il has some truth in it. We think,
however, that reproof on such an occasion
is hardly charitable. When "A man in the
station Of Mr.. Canning, considering him
either in his individual or political relations,
has the generosity to discard bis ancient
preladices, and frankly to offer the grasp
of friendly hand, it is not worth while to
catalogue to hun his past Offences. Z" Scr.
~ for Al is all gentleman can say, if he
happens to do any thing awrv," says the
old English Knight in one of the WaSerly
Novels We are willing, in the same spirit
TO take Mr Canning at his word, and have
none the less confidence in il thai it was
pledged over the wine cup. Nat. Int.
There is an expression in Mr.. HuGnrs's
Speech at the Liverpool Dinner, which
seems to be liable to misconstruction.--
The passage which contains ii is in the
following words alt is The proadest and
haPpiest incident Of my life to have hid
"a share, though Uery humbie ono, j., the
