The Liverpool Times, in an editorial in rela-
,on TO the fJuljsh ruInors of war with the United
States, says:

Bonapartist policy of France, and if the Bour-
bonist schemes which were defeated at the com

hope that the aristocracy of these isles will keep
anof from such foul plot and will be the first

Heaven against it's contamination. We can have
no var or rumors of war with our kinsinan, I'M
less the present very slight cause of difference
between the two nations be grossly and inten-
iionally aggravated, in which case, those who
take par, in the drama of intrigue mnst prepare
for the conseq uences."
THE Liverpool Post, rfier stating that the
ton with the dispute between England and the
United States, says:

American question, fair adj st'nent of which has
been rendered doubtful by the proceedings of the
British government. in provoking the angry feel
ings and just pride of the people of the United
States by sending out squadron, which IN the
