1t will be seen by the tone of the dispatch sent by
Gen. Cass to Mr.. Dallas, how much the United States
government has been excited by the aggresons of the
officers of the British navy against the American ships
which have been stopped by force and visited in the Gulf
OF Mexico and the adjacent seas. The naughty stiffness
of the instructions sent about that affair to the Uuted
States Minister in London will also have been noticed
AS satisfaction for those proceedings which are pro-
perry qualified as arbitrary and tagrant viola
tons of the rights of the United States the Cabinet OF
Washington demands that the officers of the British
navy who have visited the American ships shall be disa
vowed by their government and that peremptory orders
shall be given to prevent the renewal of such outrages
1t is curious to compare the dispatch of Gen. Cass with
the explanations made Tuesday last by Mr.. Fltzger-
aid in regard to the complaints of the United States
government AS much the language Of the dispatch
is pressing and naughty that of the orator speak
ing in the of the British government reserved and
concatory. It is true that the Cabinet had not vet
been officially informed to the facts We may never
heess infer from it that the British government will
make all reasonable concessions to appease the fresh
storm unexpectedly raised by the right Of search.
From La Presse, June g.
The language Of the British government respecting
the events which have lately occurred on the coast of
Cuba between the English cruisers and a number of
American vessels is extremely moderate. Of similar
character is the tone of the press of all parties 1t
evident that the Americans will obtain full satisfaction
From the independence Beige, June 7.
According to the London Journals, the British gov
eminent has not only sent instructions to the comman-
ders of its naval stations directing the in which
they in future to practice the right of inspection of
foreign vessels but it has also ordered investigation
in order to control the facts complained of by the Amer
lean captains whose vessels have been visited on the
coast of Cuba. The English journals are unanimous in
declaring the conventions in relation to the suppression
of the slave trade have been fulfilled by the United
States but they also in saying that the moment
for GOODNESS discussion with them is oppor-
tune and they unanimously applaud the determination
of the Cabinet.
