| cur Differences with Eogland- imp ,rtsnt
| Declarations OF Lord CiarxaoOn.
BY the Simultaneous arrival Of the Ericsson
and Arabia we have one weeks later advicss
| from Europe. Their contents are important.
| The public mind in England was becoming
| anxious on the subject Of the differences with
this country. This feeling was increased by
the news Of Father Willis reception By or
government. The London Times, in comment
| ing upon it, observes that it is now more i'm
porta- than ever that the questions pending
between the two countries should be promptly
settled, and suggests that with this view we
should send special envoy to Eaglaud, as was
done by the latter in the Oregon difficulty.
We publish in another column the report
Of an interesting and highly significant speech
made by Lord Clarendon in the House Of Lords
In a debate on American aaairs growing
out Of motion Of Lord Elgin's for the produe-
ton Of papers relative to the despatch oftroops
| to the British North American provinces. Tue
general tone Of this discussion evinces the most
| friendly feelings towards the United States
| Judging from the language used, no party in
England is DESTROYS of counting difficulties with
us, and least of all Lord Clarendon. His lord
ship il, in fact so anxious to settle the matters
at issue that he expresses himself willing to
| meet Mr.. Marcy on some island half way be
| tween the two countries for their adjustment.
This is all very pleasant and very satisfac-
tory, SO far as it goes but we find in the same
speech certain other declarations which, cou'
| pied with the event which has since reached
the knowledge Of his lordship-the dismissal
CT Mr.. Crampton- give an entirely difereat
aspect to the conclusions which at first sight
! We might he disposed to draw from it. Lord
Clarendon's friendly tone and jocose PROPOSE
ton Of q new Tilsit arrangement between him
self and Mr.. Marcy, were based, as will be
| sc en-, on the conviction that England had done
everything that could be reasonably expected
| Of her to satisfy the wounded pride OF
| the United States. "Tkere is nothing" he
saya, (Which could be expected from one ma
| ton towards another, from enc govern
| ment towards another, from one gentleman
towards another, that we have not done or
offered to do, in order to afford reparatio1 to
| the United States for any offence, however
unintentional on our part, which they can con-
ceive has been committed" We apprehend
that the plausible and Ingenious letter of ex-
plantations with which Mr.. Marcy accompanied
Mr. Champions dismissal will not alter any Of
! the convictions here expressed. 1t must GER
tainly be said Of the atonement offered by the
British Cabinet that il went to the very verge
of standardization; and although it fell short Of
the requirements Of our government, there are
not few amongst US who think that to de
mand more was both unreasonable aad un-
generous Of the impression which prevails
in England as to the ample character of this
apology his lordship says :-"As far as have
been able to ascertain what are the impress
sions which that despatch has produced in
this country ! think the general opinion
is that we have offered complete
satisfaction 10 the government OF the
United States" Aud, as ii to daids
the course which the Cabinet would feel bou I'd
to pursue in the event Of the explanations OF.
| fered not being deemed suil tent Oy the Am =
rican government which it is evident, from
the tone of his SPEECH he did not believe pos-
sible, his lordship adds:-"I think nobody will
require Of us to sacrifice our agents, aud to
| purchase a Cancellation with the United States
by doing that which would be both shabby AID
dishonorable."
After such sentiments, We can conceive the
effect which the news OF Champions dismissal
must have had, not only upon the ministry, bat
the people Of Eogland. 1t must have fallen
like a thunderbolt upon the public mind, which
had evidently concluded that the question was
detinitively settled by Lord Clarendon's letter
of explain atoms 1t is impossible to read the
sentences above quoted without arriving a. the
conviction that we are entering upon stage
of these difficulties from which it will require
the greatest caution and forbearancs to extri.
cate ourselves BY this time, it is not unlikely
that Mr.. Dallas has received his dismissal; and
this measure will, perhaps, be followed by the
concentration of large British naval force on
the coast Of Central America and on our
northern lakes and seaboard.
In the speech from which the extracts we
have just quoted are taken, Lord Clarendon
stat es that no answer had up to that time been
received from cur government to his PROPOSE
| tior of Yefe ring the Central American oues
