DEAR BENEFIT
The steamer of the 4th will convey TO America
very little news Of Importance, unless the mail from
India blythe way OF Egypt, which may be hourly
expected should arrive in time TO put you an fat of
what Is going on in Afghanistan and China. The
fear OF what is likely to happen in that quarter
OF the world, and the new and imposing aspect
which the final refusal of France to rafy the quin
uple treaty, has given TO political prospects in this
hemisphere, has cooled down the luminosity of the
British press toward the United States to an I'M
wonted degree OF moderation. The Times, instead
of threatening us, as it did in December last, with
the combined hostility of all the great European
powers, now, with extraordinary courtesy of Ian
guage, goes to the extent of avowing that any
" little demonstration of civty which England can
with propriey make Ito the United States,) is quite
at service" This il very kind for John Bull
But while that press in common with all others in
the city, is NOR, pacific in It's language toward the
United States in consequence OF most unexpected
virtual alliance = the question of the right Of search
between France and America, they all unite in the
most bitter dcnunciaiions Of General Cass, the
American minister at Paris, TO whom they attribute
the defeat of the we'll concerted scheme of uniting
all Europe against u.s.
The Indignation which was manifested towards
the General on the appearance of his pamphlet, has
acquired new force since the publication of his de-
spatch to M. Guizot. The Chronicle, with pre-
sumptuous arrogance, peculiarly English, says
General Cass the American Envoy at Paris, has
far outstrpped his Instructions, and, we believe
grossly misrepresented his government in making il
Qhe right OF searcl,) war question. General Cass
has, we we are sorry 10 say, much contributed to
resusc:taie or keep ~ he war cry against u.s." The
Times says that General Cas-, with an" impro-
pretty OF proceeding which tends TO compromise in
the highest degree, that character for reserve and
prudence; which is the only title of the diplomatis's
OF The United States to the respect OF Europe, ""took
advantage OF an opportunity Of duplicating France
IN the possibility OF quarrel between tie United
States aud Great Britain" ''At moment when
the resources OF the American government are no.

ply thought that amcabe demonstration ad-
dressed to France on the very subject on which she
has detached herself from the rest OF Europe. and

thor of TIL; paper, 1.-THE letter TO NJ Guizot.l it is

specimen OF even English nsolcnce.. 1t is made
pn nsr!erahle offence for, an American Envoy at
Paris 10 discharge an OBVIOUS duty in attempting 10
ward off the dangers of threatened AMI ever
whelning war, by reasonably addressing coumu-
ulcaHon 10 the french government, which depicts
the hostile purposes, Of menacing and powerful
enemy. The President and his cabinet are told
what It il. and what it is not proper for an American
minister to the french court TO do-what they
should, and what they should not approve. | doubt
whether John Tyler and MIR. Webster will thank
the British pres; fer thus advertising them to the
world as less patriotic than their minister to France.
The truth l. that England has been SO long accus-
toned to lord il other countries that she feels
exceedingly indignant whenever any government, or
any representative of any government, undertakes
to oppose her designs. If Won 10 hear the die
tatoral and naughty language lIab.tualy used in
this CITY in reference TO America and other countries
and by sensible men, too, yen would be astounded
at the concert and arrogance of the British people
| They really think themselves commissioned BY Pro-
| violence 10 give law to the world What England
decides on is right and must be DONE and those who
oppose her must be put down. The Emperor of
of OPIUM but as happens TO be matter Of interest
for the British East India Company cultivate this
drug, the Chinese must swallow the poison or SUBJ
init, as they are now doing, TO bloody and ruthless
war of invasion and conquest. The Chronicle told
us, some time ago. that the natural limits of the
British East India Empire was that extent ofterrito-
ry which was Sufficiently productive to pay for the
expense Of conquest, and yield clear profit to the
Company after defrayng the annual cost of govern
ment. There other startling instances of the
| morality and arrogance OF Great Britain. But, to
return TO our affairs. u Is rumored here that the
American Minister at Paris has been fully sustained
by the Cabinet at Washington in the position as
sumed by him on his own responsibility and that
the French Minister Of Foreign Affairs has answer
ed his protest against the much talked of treaty
Your are, however, doubtless better informed in the
United States than here as 10 the truth of
these reports. You will see, by reference to the
papers, that that deep feeling Of rancorous hatred
entertained toward America, because we choose
to resist her selfish and ambitions pretensions are
lust now, from motives of policy transferred Cen
eral Cass But hope there will be no fnching at
Washington. There never has been time when
it was wise or so safe TO stand up to our prnci
PIES and 10 insist rights. The feeling here is
that government will be caloed into settle
mcn of all the disputed questions by such ''demon-
STATIONS of ciyilty," as John Bull may degn TO be-
stow on credulous Brother Jonathan.
The manufacturing districts in an unparalleled
degree of distress. The charities being solicit
ed all the kingdom, under the auspices of the
Queens appeal through the clergy, will be wholly
inadequate 10 relieve the wants of starving thou
sands. The depressed state of most foreign mar
kets for British goods, present the certainty of still
more calamtous state of things. The remedies of
the Decever General, as they call Peel cannot cure
the ills of England Her disease consists in that
monsirous inequality wealth which has been fos-
tered by her legislation and the policy of her govern
ment for ages. She is staggering with apopiectic
health equity and liberated limbs. She will
prove TO the world, that arlstocraces like all
other forms of government must die from inherent
causes of dissolution. Faithfully yours.
