morning to comments Of tho English press on tn
condition Of affairs existing between that countr,
aud this.
The Times. in an article on the I'd inst, says tina
the administration of Gen. Pierce had taken anothe
s,ep in that downward course to which II had reso
utely addicted itself since its entrance upon II
Official duties.
The President |, states, had used every endeavo
10 complicate relations already grievousy entangcd
and had used his utmost 10 embttcr feelings bot
sides Of the Atlantic already needlessly and waniou
irritated. After explaining the causes OF the dhcu
ties and stating that they had been produced b, ne

Presidential election, who would be 70

of walker as q Government de fscto
The effect of snch step the Jtsss continues, VIII

ates hundreds of nnqnet spirits from every part OF
the Union and involve the United states virtually
thourh moi ostensiby In war with Costa Rica and
Csafemala The pretenses In which this step has
h.cn taken are extremely iimsy and transparent
Walkers government Is for the moment in possession
or novey and may therefore, be called by straining
Of language government de faeto; but II Is in ni-
neut peril Of being oyerthrown from day to day by
combination of neighboring States who are waging
AGAINST IL war Of discrimination and IL occupies such
a position that no impartial government, willing to
hold the scale evenly between Il and the government
Il has supplantcd could have dreamt OF recognizing
its existence rs an independent State.
After Questioning the right OF the United States to
recognize the position Of Walker, under the ground
that his Government founded upon laws totally
adverse 10 these of the country, thus concludes;
at is al slaTnng manifestation OF the ideas which
actuate the American Government and leads TO most
disagreeats ancipatons 10 the possibility Of an
amicahlc solution OF any dispute with men who

passions But Il Is no case Of war--it is not even
necessarily ground Of diplomatic complaint
1.-THE Clayton Bulwer Treaty has not been in terms
violated, and u may probably be cspedient In the
present critical state of the relations between the two
countries rather pass this matter by in silence
than to incur the risk of introducing fresh difficulties
into discussion already sufficiently perilous, or give
an excuse to those who even now only ready TO
seek an occasion Of quarrel Ifwar do come, we must
meet IL as We may. Let us, at any rate, have the
satisfaction Of rejecting that this greatest of human
eaamties has not been precipitsted by any undue
senstiveness or any ayoidable interference on our
part"
The above remarks are folio wed by another ar
tioe on the 3D. inst. in continuation Of the sub
ject. The writer says:
The yet more recent intelligence which we have
received from the United States leaves little
doubt that the government of General Pierce will
not stop short in the career which II has embark
ed but will follow the reception Of the minister of
General Walker by the dismissal Of the minister OF
Queen Victoria. 1t is in vain any longer TO delude
ourselves with the hope that wiser and more moder-
ate counses will prevail with government that has
thrown of all pretense OF adherence 70 the rules that
regulate the intercourse o nations and feel degra
daton In allaying the interests OF the great nation
with whose desnies II is intrused TO exercising
a trade which few years ago any snnguine specta-
tor on human progress would have pronounced to be
an anacbronism and an impossiby.
The same eectoneering necessities which make the
representatives of band of awless freebooters fit
guest and companion for the Chief Magistrate of n
Christian and educated Republic, have deereed that
in spite of earnest wish TO atone for the offence
we have Internationally given, and our abstinence
from anything which could by any possibility aggra
vate the dispute, we must undergo the indgnity of
seeing our minister dismissed from the diplomatic
circle at Washington, for offences supported by tes
timony which should never dream of convict
ing the basest Of mankind
One moment we have blast Of war; the next n
song Of peace the President Is first blamed, and
then praised now treated bold and successful
feeble and cowardly intriguer
We seek in vain for something on which to anchor
our faith something animated by higher principle
than that of the most momentary and groveling ex-
pediency, and we seek in vain. Still even the dis
missa Of Mr.. Champion and the dismissal OF Mr. Dali
las which must Immediately succeed it, by no means
nply state OF war; or are even necessary preludes
no tTdt u1re tai1nlIN. we may ne NJ peace Win
America, though without any diplomatic representa-
tive; and perhaps, at the point at which matters
have arrived, the absence OF ambassador may, in
some degree diminish the apprehension of danger.
In the money article of the same journal similar
feelings expressed. After abiding to the argn-
ulents. used to justify the recognition of Walker, IL
says that SOLAR as to the government of Walker be-
ing accepted by the people, he could only maintain
himself by shooting Gen. Corral the head of the Nj
caraguan army, and by threatening with similar
ate every citizen who should be found by word or
writing 10 have encouraged the slightest resistance
10 his band. II was also notorious that the only
means OF supplying himself with funds by levy
ing contributions on ali the inhabitants, foreign as
well as native.
The article concludes byremarking that the enthu-
sasm ON the subject at New Orleans was to be at
tributed 10 a desire for the extension of slavery.
The Daily News .reiterates the hope of the Times
in the preservation Of peace, and considers that If
should take place it could only be looked at in
the light ola civil one II alludes to the damaging
influence il already possesses the Money market
and calls for speedy and satisfactory adjustment Of
the existing difficulties The other English morning
journals view the matter in nearly the same light
viz as which will, if not settled, considerably
affect the commercial interest and political comor
, Of both nations.
The English journals Of the 4th inst, contin
ne their remarks on American affairs. Tn,
Times says:
eve have received fresh intelligence from the Uni
ted States to the progress Of Ministerial opinio
and resolution with reference to this country, an
sorry to find that the prospects Of settlement
the dispute seem more remote than ever. We fea
that the letter notifying to this Government the dis
missal of Mr.. Champion NAY be every day expecte
in England. This event. which, through tn
mist of the future, calculated to inspire the
gloomy apprehensions, seems to have lost little O
its magnitude nearer, and to be. after al
q not uncomfortable evil.
