The Anglo. American question is examined with
more or less Development by the Paris journals. In
the observations of all these exists sentiment of
surprise at the attitude assumed by the British Gov
ernment but the ASSemblee Rationale alone expresses
lis views in undisguised language. We extract the
following passages:
Scarcely has Champion set foot on British soil
than he is openly disavowed by those to whom he
has entrusted the defence of his public character and
OF his honor, tarn'shed in a which that of
his country He is accused of levy he is declared
be incapable of the functions entrusted to his man
agement; and he has returned 10 London in order to
be present at the triumph of Mr.. Dallas. These ac
cusaons not only strange in existing circumstan-
ces; they appear TO us, we may be permitted to say
en- PEASANT, supremey un ust. In mixing himself up
with this miserable question Of recruits, Mr. Cramp-
ton only followed the instructions of his government
as the whole world knows 1t Was not only in
America that England directed her agents and con-
suls to procure for her men who willing to ex
change their blood against her guineas The same
instructions given 10 her agents in Italy and
Germany, and we have witnessed their results Mr.
Champion only followed the general instructions
given. This declared soIemny by the English
government as long there existed hope of his re-
naming in Washington. To-day, Mr. Champion is
only compromised instrument which 1t is desirable
to get rid Of He is unsteady man, all of whose
acts cannot be Justified With respect to the atfront
offered him, after all that has been written and said
in his defence by the ministers of her Majesty, the
insult does not, 1T IS true, affect HIM alone 1t re-
bounds on the government and the country which he
represented. But then it was offered With so many
forms, and accompanied with advantageous
offers. Everything can therefore, be arranged for
the best. Manchester will not be short OF cotton, and
here exists, beyond mistake, the whole secret. Eng
land is under the dependency of the United States,
and Rule Britannia, is forgotten when it is necessary
procure the article indispensable for the life OF its
population. 1t is far from our intention to blame the
prudence, the circumspection, and the humility
of the government and statesmen of England, which
are commanded in the of such great interests.
But, will permit ourselves to remark
that the spectacle offered by the British administration
by no means corresponds with the ideas we have
formed of great government This moderation,
this patience, pushed to the limits of abnegationn the
presence of a cool and premeditated insult; this
desertion of agent who declared up to the last
moment worthy of responsibility this facility of tuln-
ing and of viewing matters nther best light astonish
above all. But, after all, the honor stake is
not own and it is not for to take it under ou
protection.'

Great Suffering among the California
Passengers.

The true Californian gives the following account
of the dreadful suferings endured by the passen-
gers who left New York In April last for Califor-
MIA, via Nicaragua:
The steamer Orzaba left New York on the sth
of April, with some five hundred passengers for
California, by way of Nicaragua. On the 10th, she
arrived at San Juan, aud the passengers disem-
barked. BY means of open boats they started up
the river, during soaking rain. The exposure
caused them much suffering. When they arrived
at Castillo, they were informed that the transit
across the country closed; and after two days
delay, during which they were co stantly exposed
to the weather, they told that if they chose,
they could return to New York, but only fifteen
minutes were allowed them; and as they we're
compelled to abandon their baggage in case they
concluded to go back, three hundred determined to
push on.
They were taken to Granada where they we're
detained month, Notwithstanding that an cpl
demic was prevailing there. Here the most fear
full disease commenced to rage among them. In
forr weeks seventy mine of the three hundred we're
buried. During this time they suffered every pri-
valon--many were without means, and those who
had money were compelled to put up with extor-
ton and robbery at every hand.
On the Goth May, in the evening, news reached
Granada of the arrival of the Sierra Nevada, at
San Juan del Sur, and three hours were given the
surviving passengers, sick and WE'LL to get on board
the Lake steamer. At the time it was pouring
rain and pitch dark. The sick were carried down,
in the best manner possible, all getting thoroughly
drenched Upon reaching the landing of the Lake
steamer, they were kept in the rain until all had
exhibited their tickets, which detained them seve
raj hours. Finally, all were crowded on board !;
but before morning, three Of the sick died, and
were sent on shore.
On the Lake steamer, the scene is described as
having been dreadful. The passengers were crowd
cd together, like sheep in pen. There was scarce
ly room for the sick to lie down. For nineteen
hours they were thus confined suffering every tor
ture Of body and OF mind several poor wretches
gave up the ghost on the boat, and others died
while attempting the journey from the Lake to San
Juan.
After they embarked In the Sierra Nevada, the
sickness broke out again, and during the passage
from San Juan to this port thirtythree deaths oc-
Cured.
The suferings on the Sierra Nevada, beggars all
description. The officers Of the steamer did all in
their power TO alleviate their sufferings but that
was little. No time was lost in disposng of the
dead, and the body was hardly allowed to get cold
before IL was thrown overheard. The safety of the
living demanded that there should be no unneces-
sary detention of the dead.
