Corresponding instructions TO the governor general Of

Remember that this despatch must have come to Mr.
Champion in season If Mr. CHAMPION had obeyed IT, and
had communicated it 10 Mr., Marcy, TO have prevented OF
at beast materially modified Mr. Marcys letter TO Mr. Blu
chanan Of the 10Th Of July.
Our appreciation, therefore, Of Lord Clarendon, ind
yidualy greatly raised well by the tenor OF his las
despatch and of his speeches by present knowledge
of The information under which he SO long acted
We cannot by any means however, exonerae the Brush
government as government from the weight of respon
sbity which rests them the authors OF that most
unwse unsatesmanlike, aud unjust measure the Foreign
Enlistment Act That the great wrong great wrong
to all neutral nations greater to England herself
There is one other thing which it cannot be improper to
say in this relation 1t is idle to disguise the fact that the
declaration made by the Earl of Clarendon in the House
of Lords at the commencement Of the Russian war; to the
effect that the concert Great Britain and France extend
cd to both hemspheres-the idea thus propagaed thai
r,ar Russia ENGLAND intended to attack the
United States, confirmed that idea was, by Other
collateral facts and by the tone of the British press
i e indignation thus excited by the suggestion OF
ia dictatorship being set up in London and in Pa
ris to domiueer over both Europe and. Ameriea--
c,nnot be disguised say, that these unoward Incl
dents are at ths foundation of that want Of sympathy
with England in the last war; which il must be admitted
existed in the United States and to which Lord Claren
don has repeatedly alluded in terms ofcompaint We have
ceased to regret that Lord Clarendon did not seiz
an early explain this declaration In the Mouse
of Lords where uttered which the fit place IN
which to e1plan it, and where he did make explanation
upon another point Of the naturenamey, imputed
concert between England and Spain against the United
States In these incidents also is be found the key ef
whatever there was of early prejudice in this country
against Lord Clarendon which prejudice certainly wss
not diminished By the language and spirit Of his three
first dispatches on the enlistment question. We re-
peat and we do it with satisfaction, that later incl
dents have essentially modified public impressions hefs
with regard to Lord Clarendon. How far these new
and more favorable impressions of Lord Clarendon
deserve to be relied upon shall be better able to uda
when we see what response he has make Mr. Marcy
last two dispatches to Mr. Dallas.
