MIR. MARCY's CRAFTSMANSHIP IN FAVOR IN ENGLAND.-The proposition of the United States government to extend the exemption of private property from belligerent capture, to property afloat, is received in liberal and friendly spirit by the British press. The Lon don Times intimates that the objection to its adoption would not come from England; and the Manchester Guardian, one of the ablest and most influential of the provincial journals, refecting the sentiment of the commercial and manufacturing interests, warmly commends its consideration to the British government, urg ing that, if France should object, separate convention might be concluded between En- uland and the United States, abolishing the Tight of capture of private property in any future war between the two countries. MT. MARcY's able dispatch is extensively publish ed, and it's merit generously conceded.--Mem- phss ApDeI
