OPINIONS OF THE ENGLISH PRESS.
From ths London Tunes. June r.
We learn by the last advccs from the United States
that the dsprte between them and the English govern
ment is rapidly passing stage which will nece,si-
tate speedy decision on the whole question We are no
longer permitted to doubt that the gove nment General

so powerful and so injurious influence the trbn
lent councils OF the American demo rscy There Is
fortunately, longer any doubt that Mr. Champion s to
be dismissed; anu though the exact intelligence
Of his dismissal has not yea reached Us, we
may certainly expect TO receive informatioa to
that effect by the very next arrival. Az the
same time that our minister Is to be dismissed the
quatur will be withdrawn from the three Consuls whom
the American government considers guilty Of viola

tho love Of peace and the anxiety toava themselves Of the
preferred settlement Of the Central American question tend
with equal force in contrary direction All the advice
offer is, to weigh the matter fairly and dsMsson
ately, without fear or avor-to decide justly
and to act rcsoutey If Mr.. Champion be entirely

government shall succeed in proving either that Mr.
crampton has the weight Of the evidence
against him. has been guilty Of the prsyaricaton charg
cd upon him by Mr. Clayton and Mr. Crttcnden We trust
that false prde no unwilngnsss to admit the posi-
by of his having been in the wrong, will prevent
from acquescing in expulsion which he will then have

IFrom the London Post June 1871
We have reason to believe that any doubt which re-
manned upon the public mind to the statement which
made ten days ago OF the approaching expulsion OF
Mr. Champion from the territory Of United States is
definitely removed. The United states Minister in
London has understand, communicated to her Ma
jestys government the determination Of the Cabinet Of
Washington tc hold no further diplomatic intercourse
with Mr. Campon and TO withdraw the exequatur from
thu thrna lnvsn yvhn
laws Of the Union. This declaration we believe may
state accompanied by oilers ostensiby concliatory,
inasmuch Mr.. Dallas has received authority IL
tain him here with full powers concerning the
questions at issue in Central America and in case of
agreement with Lord Clarendon to refer the matter to an
arbitrator to be jointly agreed upon.
The American government has thus, In the rash en-
foccmep OF its policy taken the dangerous step of in
sultng England, accompanying the outrage by offer
which is intended 10 brbe into quiet acQuiescence.
Th is the real purport OF this act, 40 concatory in
appearance, but in appearance only substantially is
no value. because the American government must be
we'll aware that Is impossible for the Cabinet Of this
country dscws any matters with Mr.. Dallas whilst Mr..
Champion orcby suspended from his functions In the
We maintain that neither this country Mr.. Cramp.
ton in his capacity OF representative Of this country has
done anything TO justify this extreme measure, and we
cannot consistently with what Is due either 10 the
country 10 Mr. Crampton consent 10 accept specific
and drcc, for the sake Of pretended equivalent
IN the shape Of the concession Of an arbitration Of the
Central American question, which Is matter standing
entirely upon s merits and totally unconnccted with

Under these circumstances there is but one course
which the country expect from her Maesty's govern
mcnt Tie dismissal OF Mr. CHAMPION must be followed
by the dismissal OF Mr., Dallas.
