From the Carolina Times.
A DeIectable Moroccan.

The subioined article from the London Her
aid is in confirmation of the telegraphic dis.
patch published iE yesterdays Times, which
stated that the British were concentrating q
large feet in the West Indies. There is .evi.
IDENTIFY trouble brewing in that quarter Of the
world. Perhaps the English Government is
preparing to'take vengeance for the burning of
Greyto|n, or more probably to prevent any
attempts that may be made by the United
States or the filibusters, to invade Cuba. What.
ever may be the object, it must be matter of
considerable moment to call for such an accu::
, mutation of vessels of war.
The Herald is quite exutant at the prospect
that the English Government is preparing "a
slight correction for our (their) 90 ahead
friends" Surely it has not forgotten that little
affair, the war of 1912, when the "slight cor
rection" was given to his own Government-
1t would be an impeachment CT the Herald's
knowledge of the history Of its own country, to
intimate that it had forgotten or ceased to smart
under the "slight correction" which was 60
handsomely administered by one Gen. Jackson
on the 9Th January, 1915. 1t need not think
to frighten the peopleo of the United States by
its bullying. We have heard John Bull below
before, and have taken him by the horns, a
time or two, and do not find him such dan
gerous beast. He has terrific look, kicks up
considerable dust sometimes, shakes his shaggy
head as though be could do great damage, ifhe
is not let alone, but after all he is "no great
shakes" at fight.
Increase OF THE SQUADRON IN THE WEST
INDIES AND NORTH AMERrcA.-From the pre-.
parations actually made and in progress, it
would appear that some work has been cut out
for the Baltic feet during the winter. Our
transatlantic friends, true to their characterls.
tics, have become to be troublesome now that
they fancy We have got our hands full; but it
would seem that England has not yet entirely
given up the fishing grounds to Brother Jona-
than; they have not fallen in with the notion
that Bermuda and the West India Islands
should be outside States of the great Republic;
nor will they permit any more filibustero inva.
siolis of Cuba, or cowsrdly' piratical attacks
upon unoffending and, we regret to add, un.
protected independent territories Our Yankee
friends have grown saucy with impuulty, and
| insolent with indulgence, and especially so the
| men of wars men with their puny shadow ora
feet. Because they do not see so many line
of-battle ships and frigates knocking about the
West Indies as they were want to see some
ten or dozen years since, they fancy that, like
the frogs in the fable, they can puff themselves
up as big as John Bull himself.
| The piratical affair Of Cuba, and the bullying
and staggering about the fisheries, the British
Government could afford to treat quietly ana
indu}geutfyj but now, In state oil war, tue
CD ss Is altogether different. Great Britain has
naturally become more jealous of her dignity
and more tenacious of her rights.
| The affair at Greytown, as cowardiy an act
as ever dsgraced man, ,of:war, and the insult
to the British flag on that occasion, followed
up by the shameless Dragging of the captain of
the Cyane, seem to have brought matters to a
climax: and these little circumstances, with re-.
ports of American purchases of Russian terri.
tory, American building of Russian men.of:war
and the fitting out of American ships as Rus
sian privateers, have moved the English Gov
ernment to prepare slight correction for our
goahead friends, which will do them great
deal fgood, and lower the tone of that offeu-
sive staggering, which is only an affectation of
real courage.
| With our hands full with the Baltic and
Black Sea fleets, we have yet-a man Of war or
two to spare to put the Yankees down; and if
Brother Jonathan means mischief, he will as
suredly have to pay dearly for his frolic. 1t is
we'll known that the Boscawen, 10, Captain
Glanvlle, came home early from the Baltic to
proceed to Halifax. She is there and has the
Admiraps flag. Another line.of battle ship,
the Colossus, 81, is to proceed to the West In
dies, to be under rear Admiral Fanshawe's
command. A screw frigate the Termagant, is
already on her passage there, to take the Com
modore's broad pennant at Jamaica; and it is
reported that an additional line .of-Battle ship
and three frigates 1.-THE Hannibal, 81, screw,
COMMODORE the Hon. F. w. Grey; and Gu
racoa, 81, screw, Captain the Hon. H. F, Has.
tings amongst the number &C., will reinforce
: the West India squadron. If these vessels
should be added to the force already there and
enroute, We shall have the following on the
station
Hannibal. 81, screw ship.

Curacoa. 81, screw frigate
Termagant. PA, screw frigate.
Vestal. al............ 20, sailing frgate.
Calypso. .lS, sailing corvette.
With smaller steamers, sailing sloops, etc.
We trust that this force will be quite sutfi'
cient to induce the Yankees to draw in their
hosns and behave with decency to weaker as
we'll as stronger powers. If not, there are not
only means but inclination, we believe, to COM
