TdE BRITISH AGGREsSI0Es IN ENGLAND.
VIEWS OF The ENGLISH PREss-THE QUESTION
BEFORE PARLIAMEST-ACTs OF TIE CRUISERS
DTsAvowED.
The London Papers received by the -AragO,
make no Comments on the reports which bad
reached them Of the late sggressions BY British
cruisers in the Gulf of Mexico. The Lendon
journals take the seeounts fro1 the New York
1falss, and the London 1iSHss, in publishing
them, merely says that " all the New York pa
pers have leading articles, written in rather an
angry spirit, on the proceedings OF the British
cruisers in overhanling American vessels"
Our London contemporaries also publish the
proceedings in the Senate on this subject, but
make no comment thereon.
10 the West India news the London IFmss,
announcing the seizure Of the CBYfes, which
created such an excitement here, says: An
other fine schooner called the COrtss, has been
captured by the FOTt0ard gun-boat of the coast
of Cuba, being engaged 10 the slave trade; she
has arrived at Port Royal.
The London papers, however, by the Europa
make some allusion to the prevalent excitement
in this country. The Tfmrs, in leader on the
searching OF American vessels, reiterates it's
objections against the policy Of maintaining a
squadron which has proved so iBefectual for
the ends in view. 1t says, whatever the right
Of the case may be, and however far Americans
may be ready TO go, at present, for peace sake
we cannot but look forward to a day when it
will be more dissgreesble, and at the same
time more unnecessary for the Americans to
submit, and a still greater let-down for our
pride to give way.
After passing some censure upon the apathy
Of the American Government in the suppress
sion Of The slave trade, it corcIudes as follows
" We do not compel her to the virtue she has
not; before very long the mere attempt must
bring on fearful war. Is there no such thing
as giving up crusade which began with being
po.hilg 70 be surrendered except after the loss
of 10000 lives on both sides, and thirty mil

In the city article the Times some reflections
are made on the same subject, and 1t 70 asked
Hhetner, supposing America 70 De uh"llills -

might not ma ke an agreement fer one OF two
! officers to be received as permanent guests on
British vessels, while serving on such duties,
and for all searches to be conducted under the
auspices cf such American officers.
The Daily Ners editorial, on the same sub
iect. regards the affair as a disagreeable one.
but thinks it is premature to lump at eoHclu-
sions without hearing both sides Of the ques-

the American captains.
