REMARKS.
We need not say,-ior Of that our readers are
already apprized that we do not concur in OPT
ron with correspondent, in relation to the pro-
pretty of accepting the irroiTcred mediation Of THE
British government, in the adjustment of tho
French controversy. Ii is needless to rcoapitulatc
the reasons of our opinion. 1t is sufficient alone
iosay, that, the acceptance of that mediation, not
binding either party to submit to the course recon-
mendcd by ,hc Mediator, cannot by possiii iiy ie-
sui, in any sacrifice Of national lights or ionor--
and il war can be ayerc.!, and peace MA NAMED,
witheut such sacrifice, that considerable alone aE'-
ply jaslie, ne course which has been pursued b.
tie administration in acccdnG 10 the offer OF the
British government. Had the mediation been re-
jec'ca, war had followed, as, in all probability,
ii would hrye doue, there would have been IA ter
'ribc responsibility upon the heads Of those, who,
from crimnally obstinate adherence TO their own
opinions, perhaps hastily formed, had provoked
that issuc.
Wemav hope, toos from the tenor Of the follow
ing article, in tie New York Times, which is said
10 be in tie confidence ofhc administration, and to
possess authentic sources OF Information, tina: our
correspondent is Incorrect i'll Supposins that the
President will not go a step farther than he has
already doar, TO secure the preservation of
peace: Ii ilr statement of the Times be true, and
II seems to BE credited, there can be no doubt, We
imagine, Of the amicablc termination Of this pro-
trac'cd and unnecessary quarrel:
From tie Ncac York Times, Feb. 2.
HE MEDIATION ACCErTED.-A well informed
correspondent writes as follows from Washing
ton:
The communication from England is a Let
ter from the King OF England to the President
Offering Mediation. Ii has been accepted by the
Administration, and letter to the Ming Will be
written by the President, in which, it vii! be
stated that he did not design TO menace nor IN
sun rance nor her King--and this will be done
. N language stronger even than that used in the
Annual Message ; bu, beyond that disavo"al, no
thing"
he terms of the proffercd mediation were Of
course such as it became this country to accept,
anu the intelligence is therefore most gratifying
" cannot be doubted that the intervention will be
successful, and peace will be preserved
