The dismissal OF au Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Psenipoteatiary aoo tdrse Lead
irg Consula Of her Majesty the Queen Of Erg-
land, is al event OF no common import. Taaf
lisniseal, be it remembered, was made on tue
alleged fact that they had violated the neu-
trality Laws OF the Uniou, and had exercised
acts CT sovereignty within our jurisdiction. Tne
offence, If committed, Was grave one; but the
grounds upon which the proceeding was based
having been submitted in the form Of CON-
plant to Lord Palmerstop's government, that
government totally discreditad the evidence,
ard returned only a disavowal OF any inten-
ton thus to infringe the legal and sovereign
ghte Of the republic.
1t will lot he forgotten that the Clayton
treaty is subject Of radical dispute between
the two Cabinets. We have also recognized
the Walker Rivas government Of Nicaragua,
farnibbed in fact men and means to sustaia
General Walker III that direction, and we
cencede are responsible in 6 moral point of
view for the ascen sency Of the Ameri- Al
erms in Nicaragua Late news Indicates, too
that the Nicaraguars under Walker have been
triumphant over their enemies; aud this fact
sufficiently foreshadows the permanent rule OF
American influence in ali the States OF Central
America. We must concede too. in order to
complete the actual history Of the case, th..
our people as such, not only heartily symoa
thise with General Walker and his associates,
but have aided him by every means in their
power. Ii proof Of this we need only refer to
the constant movement of population in that
direction, and to the uniform failure OF the
legal tribunals to convict persons charged DE-
The federal authorities with violating the neu-
trality laws by aiding the Nicaraguans
These are amongst the points of grave COM
plication into which we have fallen with the
London Cabinet. That on the facts we occu-
py the vantage ground-that We are mainly
right--no candid nan on either side Of the
water will question.
But we have to deal with Lord Palmerston,
the most perfect personiication Of a political
parasite in his relations to Louis Napoleon;
an aristocrat by birth, by associations, by
instinct and by ambition. His effort for two
years has been to league her Majesty's govern
ment with, and to control the despotic Powers
of the Continent, especially that of Napoleon.
His position is nominaliy that of adherence to
the free system Of England, and on adjunct
and controller of the constitutional fortunes Of
Italy and other Continental States. In this re-
spect his attitude is that Of alliance with Ma.
poleon and Of hostility to that potentate in his
designs upon Italy. He is equally determined,
for widely different reasons, to check the FIR
Their progress of democracy and civilization on

he has the concurrence Of Napoleon.
The arrival of Mr.. Marcy's dismissal dss.
patch will at once bring on the ministerial
crisis in England, and all the influence OF the
two Cabinets of London and Paris will be
brought to bear to sustain the administration.
