80 plainly aud broadly six months ago in 40 official
dispatch from Lord Napier. Ia a letter to Gen.
Cass On the Goth Of December asst. when referfog
to the increase Of the slayetradc Lord Napier said
the American isg was habituaIy used 10 co7cr this
ueiarous and piratca system of enterprise but re-
marked, This precantion does not protect the
" SLAYER from visit, but II exonerates him from
" search" There Was clear notice served upon
the Secretary o, State How did h. treat il No
attention was given 70 the subject for four long
months aud il not until the 10th OF April that
he found time to put forth ong-Hiuded snswrr,
reyiyng his tulmiuat'on5 on the QuntUple Treaty.
During a.. that tine, the Administration was en-
gagged il the aborous task Of cndeavorng 10 enforce
Lecompton upon an unwilling Congress. IL hsd no
leisure for the investigation of question which.
more than an! other IN our diplomacy, has engaged
the best efforts OF the great minds, and fired With
unusual interest tie feelings of the whole country.
They sighted il, and by this neglect rs well rs BY
what may be regard, as a partial invitation on the
part of Gen. Cas-, a British fleet of gun-bOats was
sent to the Gulf AID the coast of Cuba to stop :
trsffic which is made piracy under our laws. And
then when the mischief has been done and evil con-
sequeIces have naturally followed, they wake up
suddenly aud fume and fret as if real resentment
was intended, or as if they meant anything bnt {.
repetition OF the Oregon farce. Well the British
Government has neither become alarmed at Mr.
Buchanans Message, nor st Gen. CAss's broadside.
They are both pretty well known IN Europe.
We are too good customer OF England for any
ordinary proyscation 10 distnrb our intercourse
Commerce protests against war under any crcum-
stances, and the temper of the press rejecting that
sentiment, ia With ~ and for peace. The hope of
the Administration here is that public sentiment
may become strong enough 10 drive the Ministry
from place if this position is insisted upon. But if
than change should come to pass, and Lord Pal
mrrsto return to power, it is difficult to discover
what womb BE- practically gained BY the transfer
Ue ser this very bail in motion. He regards us
With feelings on hostility, and he abhors Slavery,
against which this crusade is mainly directed.
There are men in the Administration who wouli
rejoice at the chance on a collision, ii means OF re-
rairnp their damaged poltcsl fortunes aud of
cuing their party from the slough of despair into
which il has sunk. A war, they argue, would rally
the country. woah heal sectional strfes would
strengthen the Administration and afford protection
to American industry without any necessity for
new tariff These considerations are seriously en-
tertaned, and they will enter largely into the cal
cuIatons of policy with which the British Govern
ment will be- answered. Lord Napier is just row
ENJOYING himself among our silent coal mines aud
deserted IRON works. The spectacle must be very
entertaining TO him, and the French Minister, and
their clcerone. Gov. Seward, who extends vOlun-
tary and paternal guardianship over all the lega-
tions whenever the opportunity offers. He will re-
turn tonight and probably discover that the wa
tiers have become unusually disturbed during his
brief absence.
There are reliable letters from Utah here, which
do not confirm all the agreeable Information recent
" received. They state that the MormOns are
Withdrawing sulleny and unsatisfactory; that all
the passes are held by their troops. and that Gen.
Johnston has received no provisions or other sup
plies from Salt Lac notwithstanding the pres
ence of Gov. Cumming there. lNDEA.
