British surveillance.

The Washington correspondent of the New YORK
Courier and Enquirer says that the tone OF the
British press in regard to the unaccountable expe-
dition TO the West Indies, excited the most I'M
bounded establishment in Washington, and took
the President and Cabinet as much by surprise as
II did the public One of the most offensive articles
in the British Journals was published in the Morn
ing Post, Palmerston tender, and which therefore
IL regarded by some as semi-officia manifesto
This Journal asserts that of the objects of the
expedition is to lower the arrogance and cool the
sensitiveness of the American government" which
arrogance and constituencies" refer to an Ameri-
can demand for redress ON account of Champion
fllibustering proceedings. The American govern
ment should answer this menace by giving Mr..
Champion his passports forthwith
The Courier correspondent says that Commo-
dore Pauldng will be sent to the Gulf with "a
powerful naval force" but what il is to consist Of
he does not mention. 1t takes time for this coun
try to collect force which can compete with such
squadron Great Britain has sent, and before i
is ready, mischief may be done which otherwise
might be prevented.
The Washington correspondent of the New Yorl
. Herald gives different statement from the Cou
rierS correspondent. He processes to be informc,
u tnat there Is no particular Sl2nlncance III Comno
dore Pauldings mission to San JUAN more than
mere measure of precaution arising from the alter
ed position of our relations with Central America
He says farther in reference to the British squad
that }hc administration do not regard it in thu
slightest degree threatening; or, in the language
distinguished functionary, which was conveyed
to him recently:-"I am satisfied that there need
ben apprehension on the part of the United States
of any serious consequences resulting from this
movement on the part of Great Britain in sending
their fleet to the West Indies.''
Among the conflicting statements of the Wash
ington letter writers, it is hard to make out the
truth. 1t seems clear however, by the late inteIli-
gence from England, that if our own government
does not consider the British expedition in the
slightest degree threatening" it is not looked on
in very different light by the people of Great
Britain

The Verdict against VIM. III. Seward,

The Albany Register says that one of the
questions forced upon the people of the State o.
New York at the late election was whether they
would endorse or repudiate VIM. II. Seward
His friends insisted that this should be made the
issue of the campaign. They stunped the State
on that issue. Seward himself took the field He
spoke in Albany, defined his position, and was
beaten haty.fce hundred. He spoke in Buffalo,
defined his position again, and was beaten three
thousand. He spoke in Auburn, his own city, and
was beaten there. There is against him ON the
popular vote a. majority of over one hundred
thousand. The people have spoken their verdict
through the ballot boxes and it is an overwhelming
reputation of William II. Seward"
A most gratifying result to patriots everywhere
1t proves that in his own State Seward is as odious
with the conservative masses as at the South.
Where he defined his position " he seems to have
Jared worst, Sewardism is dead even in New
York. New York has declared in thunder tones
that he who is an enemy to the Union is a traitor
to his State.
