the London Times points all its batteries of elimination

one 1t was in England well in the United States the
all but unanimousy-expresed conviction that the Brit

levy troops in the United States that if in the face OF OBJ
snate in those attempts by British agents the
American government while striving in good faith to main
tain our national neutrality had been forced into something
peemptorness of act language it was not for the Brit
ish government to complain of that consequence OF It's
wongfulness; that there exists no cause OF hostility
between the two countries emanatng from the American
governments that the interests of both nations den

come in the history Of the United States when the Brit
ish government, and Lord Pamerston especially must
imagine that England alone has the right to be
great and must perceive, and act upon the peroep-

pressble desnics of greatness before it which should
be honored and admired, not enyied frecd by the
British in Europe. We therefore, augur from what

the object of her alliance with France is, after "hum

have if they had circular instructions in blink to

the day of the sack of Washington to the present time
Lord Pamerson has manifested toward the United States
we think needs only this to insure the most cordial ea
tons between Great Britain and the United States.
