The STARS AND STRIPEs-The London Ex-
aminer says that within three months after
war with Russia, or any other power, nearly
$4,000 British seamen in the American mer-
chant service will hasten to naturalize them
selves as American citizens, in order to pre-
vent impressment on board British men-of-
war.
1t will hardly be necessary to do this Ever
since the ratification of the Ashburton treaty
the great and noble principle, urged by Web
ster, has been recognized, that the American
flag will protect all who sail under it It is
hazarding but little to predict that Great
Britain will never again claim the right of
fnpressing even a British subject from an
American ship.

THE GREYTowN AFFAIR.

We are more panied than surprised at the strong
language of censure employed by the European
press and the universal condemnation eyinced by
the European public towards the bombardment and
burning Of Greytown. The public disapproval Of
that unfortunate act was almost as general in our
own country as it is in Europe, and we should do
injustice to the American Government if we doubt
ed that it as sincerely regrets the occurrence do
any of our citizens. The following is one of the
most moderate notices taken of the transaction by
the London Times
We trust therefore, that her Majesy's Government
will obtain from the United States in this instance
paraon not inferior to that given by France in the
Of Mr.. Pritchard, namely, censure of the officer by
whom these unlawful acts were committed and compen
saon to the parties whose property interests
suffered Deeply as value relations with the peo
pie Of the United States, and anxious as we are to
strengthen them by every honorable MEANS we canno,
apply different rule of conduct the strong and the
weak and we are bound to show that interests such
we have in all parts of the world must be respected Our
that this unpleasant may be brought
speedy and amcable termination lies in the fact thai
American interests have suffered as much as our own
and that the bombardment of Greytown is as strongly
| condemned IN New York it can be in London"
