Our Relations with Great Britain.
The arrival Of the Pacific 7whileit brings more
full and exact information in regard to the purrc-
Ses and object Of the British government in ds.
tpatcIing an additional naval fofce to the West
Indies, has, at the same time served TO confirm
| tie assurances which We gayetO the public few
DAYS since, thatthers is nothing whatever in the
diplomatic relations of Great Bfitaitand the UNI
ted States which need awaken monients sol ci-
| tude on thSSide OF the water. Ia aEundantly
manifest that in both countries there exists in The
minds as well Of government as of PEOPLE tight
apprecialiom ofths value Of mutual peace TO each,
with a correspondent termination not to let go
its advantages tUt any SeeendaTy or inadequate
cause.
1T IS true that onemost importantq aestionasthes
subject of earnest discussion -lrtween The two
governments, namely. The Central American queS-
ton; bWk although there's very serious differ
euceof opinion between Them on some points, Z
vel that difference is matter still belonging al
together 10 the domain OF negotiation.
/ We apprehend that it will satisfactorily appear
lin the sequel that the proposed naval demoHSIEa-
ton had its origin in part in mistimed alarm Produ
ced by the groHndleSs charge, presented. as il may
/ be remembered, early IN October by the British
conSulin New York against the bark MauTy. tEt
Al the same time, it is not 10 he d sguiSei that
the error of The British Government in undertake

Unanimous condemnation thatth attempt has en-.
lcouRteEed in both countries, and some quite nattI-
British government in view of all. the incidents
and consequences of that unadyiSed underta king
had influence in producing the order for naval
expedition wearing the appearance al least, ofme-
EnnCe against the United States.
But, as the United States IRE acting in the.
cIearest and most Indispensable right in IenreSS-
Ing aud furnishing all foreign recruitment within

admitted by the British government il would

Parties accused may continue to fret concern

GERS OF the government, and OF our jnlg, 5, in the
Performance OF their duties of purely domestic

Remembered how much more summary and more
extreme has heen, under the same circumstances,

The most remarkable fact in tmS FelationIS the
tnnfoundtd accusation against Mr.. Marcy and Mr..
Buchanan. (which appears almost simultaneously
in the British press in Americu and the British press

We have already called attention to the former,
| and stamped with the rep.obatIon it deserves the
false declaration Of the New York Albion, that
| in what Mr.. Champion has done he had the D. evil
Gus sanction of the American Secretary Of State.
We now have TO call public attention 10 The
declaration Of The London Times in the paragraph
lsukiolned; which p'esumeS 10 say thatin what the
British government itself dil-it had the sanction
or encouragement OF tie American minister in
London. We know, and are able to state in tie
mos positive terms, that this imputation is utterly
false and destitute of any shadow OF foundation
We are cunf'ent it will appear inconirOvertibly
that, in everything which MT. Buchanan has said
or done, lie has onorablyan aud ably represented the
Sentiments and interests Of the United States, and
that III this class OF public questions particularly
has, IN common with his government and his
countymen, maintained unwavering the attitude
of d.gnifed aud impartial neutrality, in refer
eRced 10 that combat Of giants, which now con-
VWses Eut3pe, and all the great parties 10 hich
are emit ed TO, and alike receive, the respectful
considerations of the United States: -En

informed. testified TO the cordial sympathy OF the
cabinet at Washington and the nation over which
it pres!des. He expressed an apprehension as to
the durability Of our alliances with france, and
our ability alone and unaidel 10 resist the over

be under no apprehension on that account, for the

We learn upon the receipt OF the intelligence
