THE CHAMPION DIFfICULTY.-Ihe English Cab
iaet.-Lord Clarendon in his dispatch to Mr.
Champion, of February 9Th, after commenting on
what he considers the ilnfammatory character of
the act of the u. S Attorney General, in publish.
ing portions of official dispatches which he had OBJ
tained as member of the Cabinet, says:
Now 1 did not know what the opinion of the
President nor of the members of the Cabinet was
upon this proceeding of the Attorney General,
though we had reason to think it had been dis.
approved--it certainly had not been disayowed.
but what did know for certain was, that if anu
member Of her Majesy's government lead been so nm
mindful c has duty t0aoards has country and his col
leagues not only TO make public use of the dis.
patches schich had come conGdenialy into Iis hands
bmt TO do SO for tie purpose of eIcaRg III soW on the
part of tie people Of England against the government
and people of the United States the Cabinet Minister
offending Doud either hare been compelled to resign
his Office Instantly, all his colleagues ooud hare re-
signed theirs. The country would have exL ected
this OF them, and would not have been satisfied
with any other course; but as nothing of the kind
had taken place in reprobation of the Attorney
Generals proceeding, must be permitted to think
that more regard was exhibited here than in the
United States for the maintenance of peaceful re-
lations between the two countries.

Mr. Champion at Washington to join the British
army in the Crimea, and procure men for tae

The New York Herald of Friday says:
We are positively informed from Washington by
a gentleman who has made direct application to
the President that Champion is to be dismissed,
and before the Cincinnati Convention.
The Union of Friday considers it necessary for
the vindication of our national honor that Dir,
Cramptsn should be dismissed
The National Intelgeacer thinks the apology
of the British Government sufficient, and thinks
the United States should receive it in the spirit ii
is rendered.
Commerce says:
MOT a single melnber VI LUG S@oine', aus eci'
tain has declared 1t to be the present determination
Of the Executive to dismiss or not TO dismiss Mr..
f,ramntou His dismissal was certainly resolved
,,pon as an alternative TO the refusal of his gov
ernment TO recall him. Tho character of Lerd Cia.
rendon's reply caused some hesitation, and, at all
events, has prevented hia Dismissal up TO this day
n can neither be positively asserted that be VIII
ar will not be dismissedfor the plain reason that
the Executive Government has not yet decided
whether to dismiss him or not. /"
