OUR RELATIONS WITH GREAT BRITAIN.
The arrival of the Pacific, while il brings full and
exact information in regard to the purposes and object Of
the British government in despatchng additional naval
force the West Indies has at the time, served TO
confirm the which gave to the public few
days since that there is nothing whatever in the dplo
matte relations of Great Britain and the United States
which need awaken moments solicitude this side of
the water Il is abundanuy manifest that in both coun
tries there exists in the minds we'll of government as OF
people right appreciation Of the value of mutual peace
to EACH with correspondent determination not to let
its advantages for any secondary inadequate cause
II is true that most important question is the sub
ect of earnest discussion between the two governments
namely, the Central American question; but although
there very serious difference of opinion between them
some points yet that difference is matter still belonging
altogether to the domain Of negotiation
We apprehend that it will satisfactorily appear in the
sequel that the proposed naval demonstration had its ORR
gin in part in mismed alarm produced by the ground
less charge presented it may be remembered early in
October by the British consul in New York against the
barque Maury.
AT the time it is be disguised that the
of the British undertaking to raise recruits
in the United States the all but unanimous condemnation
that that attempt has encountered in both countries and
quite natural and conceivable vexaton OF members Of
the British government in view of all the incidents and
of that unadvised undertaking. had influence
in producing the order for naval expedition wearing the
appearance least of against the United States
But the United States acting in the clearest and
ndispuabe right in depressing and furnishing all
foreign recruitment within jurisdiction, and as that
right unequvocaly admitted by the British government
it would to be impossible that that subject should
produce any interruption Of our amcable relations.
Parties accused may continue to fret concerning what
they unusy impute undue severity of language Of
the part of the law officers of the government and
Of judges in the performance of their duties of purely
domestic administration Such complaints misplaced,
and are BESIDES of account 1t should be remembered
how much more summary and extreme has been,
under the circumstances the Of the legal
thorities in Germany.
The most remarkable fact in this relation is the unfonnd
ed accusation against Mr. Marcy and Mr. Buchanan which
appears almost simultaneously in the British press in Amer
lea and the British press in England
We have already called attention to the former, and
stamped with the Reproduction it deserves the false decara
ton of the New York Albion that in what Mr. Champion
has done he had the previous sanction of the American
secretary OF state
We have to call public attention to the declaration
of the London Times in the paragraph suboined which
presumes to say that in what the British government
itself did it had the sanction encouragement of the
American minister in London. We know and are able to
state in the most positive terms that this imputation is
erly false and destitute of any shadow of foundation We
are confident it will appear inconroverbly that in
everything which Mr. Buchanan has said DONE he has
interests of the United States and that in this class of
public questions particularly he has, in with his
government and his countrymen, maintained unwaver-
ingy the attitude Of dgnifed and impartial neutrality in
reference that combat of giants which convuses
Europe and all the great parties to which entitled to-
and alike receive the respectful consideration of the United
States:
From the London Times, Nov. ].
When the in the East first broke out, and England
found herself in and unwonted alliance with France,
and equally unwoned hostility with Russia there
from which she received OF support
hearty satisfactory and spontaneous than from
the United States of America Even the minister of the
Union in this country, unless msntormed testified to
the cordial sympathy Of the cabinet Washington and the
nation which presdes He expressed apprehension
the durability of alliance with France and
ability alone and unaded to resist the overwhelming might
Russia But he desired to be under apprehension
that account for the United States willing make
quarrel their and aid with thousands Of
and brawny arms ready to pluck down the despom of
the East subdue the wilderness and level the giant for
ests of the West.
