The Right of Search.--The Times of the
Both ult, contains Lord Aberdeen's reply
to Mr.. Stevenson's note on the right of
search, and in its remarks upon this state
paper says: lord Aberdeen begins by
disclaiming all responsibility for any ex-
pressions used by his predecessor, Lord
Palmerston;--he then explicitly repeats
his former renunciations, on the part Of
this country, of all claim to a right of
search over American vessels in time of
peace; and observes, that when a vessel is
once ascertaincd to be American, the Brit
ish cruisers are ordered to abstain from all
interference with her, be she Slarer or 9TH
eIlCiSe.
With American vessels, whatever be
their destination, British cruisers have no
pretension in any manner to interfere.
Such vessels must be permitted, if engaged
in it, to enjoy monopoly of this unhal- |
lowed trade, but the British Government,
concludes Lord Aberdeen, will never en-
dure, that the fraudulent use of the Amer. |
can flag shall extend the iniquity to other
nations, by whom it is abhorred and who |
have entered into solemn treaties with this
country for its entire suppression"
The overland mail from India brings
most important and disastrous news for the
English. Afghanstan, captured two or
three years since after an immense slaugh-
ter of the natives, has been retaken by
