following selections:
A PACIFIC ARTICLE.

The first points out the losses that would cause
to both countries from war. america" it
says, "would lose in England her great Gus
toner, and would find it difficult to supply the
market taken from her"
| The second article demonstrates that sup
posing both ministers get their passports, war
need not necessarily come. 1t alludes to Bull
wer's dismissal from Spain by Sotomayor,
which was followed by lsturitz being sent from
London. "We never heard" says the Post
shat in either country any serious incon-
venience was experienced by the subjects Of
the two crowns" The article concludes as fol-
lows:
"If on consideration Mr.. Dallas be per-
nitted by the British government to remain in
this country it must not be imagined that Eng
land is adopting pusillanimous or cowardly
course. Let the odium of completely sepa-
rating the ties of friendship between the two
countries be incurred by the hand of Mr.. Pierce
alone.n
MOVEMENTS OF VESSELS OF WAR.
The London Times, of June 18th, says: The
screw steam irigate Imperieuse, il, Captain r..
b. Watson, with five despatch gunboats, are
ordered to cruise off Falmouth, after aohich
they DiH proceed to Tie coast Of 1merica.
The 18th regiment arrived at Gibraltar from
Balaklava, on the lst OF June, and were ship
ped on board the Vulcan for conveyance to
Quebec.
DALLAS PACKING UP.
The Daily News, after remarking that the
United States government has perfect right
to express and act on the opinion that Mr..
Champions further residence at Washington
is unacceptable, said-"To act on it must ne.
cessarily give offence to the government Of
Il L,,tu
ly or as logically follow ofIence-and so, not
wthsanding Mr.. Dallas is packing up his port
manteau, we hope the British Cabinet will
think twice before they send him away" Our
contemporary expresses strong hope that
strict orders have been sent ont to the admi-
raj and all naval officers on our North Ameri-
can station to act with prudence and forbear-
ance IN the present critical state of affairs, and
not to introduce naval asperites into questions
which belong TO the domain of diplomacy. We
learnt on Thursday, from reliable source,
that unless our government arranges the dis
pute with President Pierce, Parliament aoiH un.
qatestionably interfere.
But while the liberal Ne,cs and the Ministe-
rial journals are thus Significantly temperate
and considerate in style, the unofficial papers,
as the Times and the Chronicle, continue their
Indignation and clustering articles and speak
as definitely and broadly as if they had the
whole question on their own shoulders to SETTLE
What these papers say is not of course to be
esteemed OF any great consequences in deter
mining the course of the government yet we
give some extracts as a matter of curiosity and
as showing the tone of the political country.

AN INDIGNATION ARTICLE.
Mr.. Champion Not Guilfy-Mstake to Suppose
that a Successor sciH be Appointed-Dalias TO
lie Dismissed, etc.
The latest accounts from America seem to
promise some respteirom the ceaseless advance
OF the government in the path of dscord and
aggression. Mr.. Champion is indeed dismissed,
but we are told that the act is no longer to be
considered the first in series of proceedings
intended to force England to recede still further,
and to humble herself before rival whom no
apologies could satisfy and no professions Of
good will conciliate
The American press endeavors to persuade
itself that England will be ready to appoint
successor in the place of Mr.. Champion, and
suggests that the three consuls can be retained
IN their situations, by way Of compromise. In
the first OF these views we apprehend that the
writers considerably oyer-estimate the capabil-
ity of the English Government and people
We will not, on the one hand, offer insult or
offence but on the other, we are not dis
posed tamely to submit to it. Those ,oho en-
dedror 10 persuade themselves that ace shall
learn the dismissal Of Champion pith-
out enforcing the retirement Of Mr.. Dallas
are calculating upon an endurance totally m
consistent ioih tie character Of Eaglishmen.
Did we believe that Mr.. Champion had really
been guilty ofany offence against the U. States
there would need little pressure or remonstrance
to induce us at once to remove him from the
situation he would have dishonored; bnt il
an attempt be made to sacrifice him to the
emergencies of local politics, zoe shall feel that
his quarrel IS our o,cn, and certainly not pass
il orr ,cithom distinctly marking orr sense of
the indignity.
From the Chronicle.
CLUSTERING ARTICLE
DO tie americans rant WarP-Splendid OPP
portuniy for Using the FLect-Eagland not
going 10 pat up ruth any insults, dc.
Are we to be forced into war with America?
This is the question Of the hour, even among
those who are initiated into the mysteries Of
satecrait and able to read its "cypher." Our
eonstancy and selfrespect are indeed being
sorely tried.
The recognition of Walker, and the threat
ened dismissal of Mr.. Crampton-which would
Of course be followed by that of Mr.. Dallas and
suspension of all diplomatic relations between
the two countries-are steps which would i'm
ply war at no very distant period, if they
could be regarded as serious. England and
America are at this moment in a position cor
responding TO that of q gentleman insulted by
a rufhan in the street. The gentleman, feeling
the inferiority of his antagonist, practices for
bearance which by the other, and even by the
bystanders, becomes interpreted as cowardice.
AT last, the natural passions of the man get the
better of the restraint he has imposed upon
them, and by superior science, moral courage
and endurance, he demolisbes the pretentious
vulgarian. We are not prepared to say that
England is solely and entirely in the right in
this matter, but only that she exhibits supe.
rority in her mode of treatment. In the affair
Of the enlistment, although the charges made
by the United States officials against Lord
Clarendon and Mr.. Champion are too ridiculous
for belief, we did nevertheless lay ourselves
open to much censure. A certain hypocrisy
characterised the whole of our correspondence
