An ALLIANCE BETWEEN OLD ENGLAND AND NEW
ENGLAND PROPOSED.
The Two last arrivals from Europe have furnished full
evidences of one Of the remarkable pancs that
ever peryaded brave sober-sided people like those OF
Great Britain The panic is not the less remarkable from
the fact that it followed upon the heels Of the glor
cations which celebrated the longdeerred capture of the
south side Of Sebastopo 1t is hardly credible that Of
the parties to that worldenowned achievement should
manifest an aversion hostile rupture with our gov
ernment which is accompanied by all the indications OF
positive alarm These things might give additional i'm
pulse to our national pride if had not already suf-
GENTLY high appreciation Of physical strength for all
practical purposes They may very properly however be
alluded to furnishing the most conclusive answer to the
habua tone clustering and contemptlous superiority
with which British journals wont to refer to our gov
eminent g,s
We do not infer from the panic alluded to that the peo
pie Of England all deficient in courage but We do
infer they comprehend thoroughly the calamitons
consequences their material interests from war with
the United States that they cannot contemplate such ca
asrophe without alarm In other words we see in the
present excited condition of the English mind the strong
est confirmation of the high value which the people of that
country place upon the maintenance Of peaceful relations
with our government We free to admit that our in
teres,s as nation will in like be best promoted
and subservcd by continuance Of such relations but at
the time people do not feel that the consequences
of rupture would be disastrous that its contemplation
need produce anything like national panic Hence
whilst the clustering OF the London Times filled
England with nndisguiscd consternaton they had no
other effect in our country than to excite mingled
tempt and ridicule
We recur TO the subject present for the purpose Of
exposing further either the folly the wckednesa of the
scheme resorcd by the London Times to hide the shame
brought upon it's country by the Illegal transactions OF
British diplomatic agents. but to allnde to development
of different character, which desire to fix the
though attention of the American people However
we may be inclined smile at the assumption that our
government been the point Of declaring against
Great Britain is nevertheless that it upon just
that assumption that the present panic in England rests
OF course the wre-pulles knew that the American cab
met had promptly and unceremoniously dismissed Mr.
Crampon would not only not have been declaration
of war bat could have afforded for They
had purpose subserve however, and panic was thu
innocent instrument for its efectuaton
Acting upon the assumption that our government hac
it in contemplation TO declare against Great Britain
the London News undertook to point the eectua
mode Of avoiding fearful result The plan develop
