From the London Times April 81
A great country cannot afford in these days to
gage In little wars There ID warfare on every side
threatening break the world too mighty scale
for Great Britain willingly to enter upon gusrs host-
man that the CON nseraon which appears To- be sDou
dering every part Of Europe may be exogushet
The neoessi les Of the time however, command TO
husband strength and TO maintain frn pTecaH-
tiona,y attitude at home The 10 past wheB
tihties be undertaken in spirit Of oaafon.sss IN
II 81 Lord s dns. to Which
such glorious testimony was borne last night have pro-
cured tranquility for British India such that vast
empire has not lately enjoyed. CHM, too with mode
retsy sagaoious policy is not likely to require tho
ployment Of any large force Sir Harry Smith has been
present at tho of the dnal conflict with the
Csfres. With the exception OF the tedious and use
less blockade Of the slave coast Africa invites
Of preosutou the part Of the British government
Our relations toth the United States a
mere omicobie footing than at present.
We are grieved, then, to-day, to have to announce
under the command Of Captain Looh been directed
against portion Of the coast Of Central Amerios.
What it 10 that has drawn this armament to tho Mos
quito coast ID but OF little Importance. Bew6eds and
It's king but Of little mportanos to Great Britain al
though their accession to slave trade policy fur
nshed for the last royal speech besides the
expense Of such expedition which, with tho expert
of the late Ca6re before us, we are not in
cined to undsrvalue, and tho employment Of naval
foroe which Ia wanted elsewhere any act that would
give umbrage to the western world would just now, be
impotic as we'll % unnecessary. Great Britain whom
occasion shall arise will always be found ready firmly to
defend her rights and possessions In every quarter
the globe There Is, however, important difference
between such defensive policy and wantonly counting
spirit Of hostility from other powers where neither the
the sable sovereign Of chooses to quarrel with
his neighbour let him os out the forces of his Mos
quito empire, ban q srriere. ban, and do other
potentstes have done under similar circumstances.
Alexander the Great Louis XIV, and Napoleon Bona
parte acted thus and his sooty majesty may fairly DO
left to follow the example Of his predecessors the
path of glory Thus much Is clear, that announce
ment that Great Britain hes engaged In petty hosttes
In any quarter Of the globe WILL the present moment
be received with tho profouudest dsspprova through
out the country We have just ether matters
tend to than the Mosquito coast and hope to hear
more Of this dWartish var.
