ABLUsTERING ARTICLE
From the London Chronicle.
Are we to be forced into q war with America
This is the question of the hour even among those
who are initiated into the mysteries of statecraft
and able to read its "cypher." Our constancy and
selfrespect are, indeed, being sorely tried Three
years ago we regarded it q calamity that we
were dragged into war with Russia, our disposi.
ton and policy as q nation being peaceful Now
if we do not desire to be embroiled with America.

ground for believing that the tendencies of the
people are little too warlike. Considering that
but few weeks have elapsed since considerable
section of them camored against the government

the Americans that their experiments our for
bearance were not made at an earlier period
After recounting President Pierces action in
the Nicaraguan government and our
tendencies, the writer says:

A TEMPERATE ARTICLE.
The Morning Post alluding to the dismissal of
Mr. Champion, says: H
We deeply regret to have to announce that

been taken by the American government which,
although it is in way equivalent to a decla.

very serious degree, the chances of preserving
peace between the two nations That this is a
rash and Incorporate step, at the present juno
ture be the original merits of the questions at is
sue what they may, cannot, and we are convinced
will not, be denied by the better and more con-
sderate even of the people who live under the gov
ernment that have taken it. 1t is not easy in q
country where public policy is swsyed by such
singular aggiomerations of parties, and determined
by such exceptional circumstances, as it is in
America, TO say what is the precise bent of public
opinion; but far as 1t can be inferred upon the
present occasion, from the tone of the most influ
entiai of the journals Of the United States, it is
with US. opposed to the violent and provocative
policy TO which the executive government-some-
what mysteriousiy, as it seems to us-seeks to
commit the American people. Irritating Is that
policy unqusstionsbly is, We shall we doubt not,

and at the same time. firm and dignifed attitude,
which we have throughout this antoward affair
exhibited, In the hope that we may yet be able to
prevent further development of the apparently
hostile disposition of the government of the Uni
ted States; nor Ia II unreasonable to expect that
the other great nations of the civilized world viii

the mind of the American population in such man
