TIE PROMETHEus AFFAIR.

We laid before our readers on Saturday, the
despatch of Lord Granville to Mr.. Lawrence,
and follow it up to-day with the remainder OF
the correspondence growing out of the Prone
theus difficulty. 1t will be seen that the honor
and dignity of our country has been indicated
with a promptitude and energy which reflects
the highest credit upon the present administra-
ton, and that England, proud, naughty and pow
erful as she is has not hesitated to offer an am
pie apology for the outage on our flag at Grey
town. The correspondence isin the highest de-
gree honorable to both parties. The firm and
dignitied tone in which our Government de-
mands an explanation ofthe British Ministry, and
the graceful manner in which that explanation
is rendered are equally commendable. The
terms in which Earl Granvills's note is couched
(says the Republic) indicate adesire to preserve
the most friendly relationship between the two
countries..and are happy prelude to thereon
mencement of negotiations for the settlement >
diplomatic difficulties growing out of the Mos
quito and Central American affairs.

minutes afterwards another shot her STERN which
passed so near that the force OF the ball distinctly

steamer then sent boat on board the brig inquire
the cause OF the firing The captain of the brig replied
that 1t was TO protect the authorities of Greytown in
their demands; that if the steamer did Immediately
anchor he woad fire bombshell into her; and he or
ered his guns to be loaded with grape and canister
shot. The steamer then proceeded to the anchorage
and anchored The brig anchored very the steam

our comfort, that if we employ worthily the
