What the British are Attempting.
So long ago as the 18th of January
last, Lord NAPIER called the attention
of Secretary CAss to an alleged increase
of the Slave trade, carried on from the
island of Cuba, under the American
flag. 1t is well understood that sIavers
have very generally sought security un-
der our national flag, and for the reason
that we have refused to grant the right
of visitation and search, to which the
five leading powers of Europe have mu-
tually consented, under what is known
as the Quintuple Treaty. With an in
adequate American force, for overhaul
ing these piratical vessels, the Slave
Trade has continued to flourish. The
following passage from the letter of the
English Minister, above referred to,
throws a little light on the recent pro-
ceedings Of the British cruisers around
| Cuba:
"In the accompanying extract Of a
dispatch from Captain Burgess, of her
Maiestys ship Hecate, it is stated that
the late expansion of the slave trade has
been stimulated by the formation Of a
company in Cuba styled the "Expedi-
ton Of Africa" the existence Of which
is avowed, and which is supported by a
house Of notorious opulenee. This as
soctattou has deliberately adopted the ase
| of American UeSseLS and assumed the
American flag, for the purposes Of their
nefarious commerce"
A few days previously Lord Napier
had said, in writing to the Secretary on
the extensive traffic carried on along the
African coast "It is equally apparent
that this abusive practice can only be
extinguished by the presence and eXer-
tions of competent American squadron
The principles of maritime law asser-
ted by the United States render the ef-
forts of her Majes,ys Government p01ger-
less for the abatement Of the eDil.'
From these statements Of Napier, il
becomes manifest, both that the pur-
pose Of sending a British force to cruise
around Cuba, is to break up the traffic
thus carried on under the American
flag, and that the British Government
recognized, beforehand, that it could
not do this without defying our own
! Government and contemning its "pTin,
ciples Of maritime law" AS the squad
ron, can hardly have been sent for any
other object, so it is evident from the
bold proceedings already reported, tha
its action cannot have been wholly un
authorized. Our weak Administration
however, will perhaps accept a mere
apology for these grave indignities, al
though its predecessor refused to do 81
for the far less grave offence of Mr.
Champion. Certainly, the more thes.
outrages are considered, the more ugl,
they look TCin. Gazette.

INDIA.-The Bombay Standard, of
April oath, gives a gloomy account of
British affairs in India. The Standard
says that it is doubtful whether the
British troops will go into a hot weather
ampaign-"sure TO weaken them so
earfully"-or whether the war is to be
suspended for the present to be resum-
ed in October. The Standard says
"We have still 10000 armed men in
the field against us, the people every
where failing to afford us assistance or
information. Within the next two years
we shall require at least 40, 600 addition
al troops FROM England"
