aTHE LONDON TIMES AND THE DESTRUCTION OF
GREYTowN.-The London Times, in IA number
received by the Africa, returns to the subject
Of The bombar'lmcnt of Grcytown. 1t closes
long article with the following paragraphs ::
1t is difficult to conceive what the purpose
and intentions of the American Government
and its naval representative really were, when
we find them inticting this terrific chastism
on IA dcfenscless population, whose interests
are more largely identified with those OF Amer
lean citizens than with the people tf any other
country, and then leaving the place to its fate, :,
without an attempt even to ascertain the
amount Of damage casued by this attack. If
the object Of the United States is to induce US
to relinquIsh the protectoratc long exercised
by thic country OH the Mosquito coast. (Which
we have certainly no desire 10 retain.( they
have strausly mistaken their course of policy
for. although we have no wish to Interfere in
the affairs OF that settlement, we cannot allow
the withdrawal OF our support to be made the
pretcxt uf Il buccanccrinS attack, not preceded
by IA declaration Of war, nor followed by any
measure of responsible authority.
The relation OF the Mosquito territory to this
country are somewhat analogous to those we
had with Tahiti, when assaulted by the French.
Neither Country forms part of the British en-
pirc, nor has any positive claim to our protcc
ton but in both the local governments were
strongly connected with us by ties of long
standing. We trust. therefore, that her Majcs
ty 5 Government Will obtain from the United
States in this instance rcparatOn not infer
ior to that given by France in the case of Mr.
Pritchard-namcly. ccn>ure Of the officer by
whom these unlawful acts were committed. and
compensation to the parties whose property or
interests have suffered.
Deeply as we value our relations with the
,..,ple of hn ! nil, al and a :
are to strengthen them by every honorable
means. we cannot apply different rule ofcot-
duct to the strong and Ia the weak and we
are hound to show that interests such us We
have in all parts of the world must De repeated.
Oar chief hop. that this unpleasant occurrence
may be brought to Il speedy aud ami cable Ter
minatiun lies in the fact that American inter
cStS have suffered as much as our own. and that
the bombardm"nt OF Grytowu l. rs strongly
condemned at New York us il can be in Lon
don.
The Times is destined TO he disappointed in
lis expectation that our Government will cen

Navy having already approved ;.nd commend
ed his conduct.
