THE GULF -" ouTRAGEs" IN ENGLAND.
In the British House of Commons Mr.. viii
son asked whether there were any objections to
lay upon the table the correspondence between
the British government and that of the United
States respecting the slave trade. Seymour
Fitzgerald replied that the American govern
mcnt had made grave charges against certain
British officers, but no official report had been
received from those officers. lie could only say
that if occurrences such as those complained Of
had occurred they would be viewed with the
deepest regret by the government, and immed-
late explanations would he given. The fullest
information should be laid before Parliament
as early as possible. Meanwhile he had only
to add that orders had been sent out to the Off
GERS in command of the squadron in Cuban wa
tiers to make every inquiry into the subject and
that the greatest caution and forbcarance should
he exercised towards vessels bearing the Ameri-
can flag.
The London Times, in a leader on the diff

sells. rciteratcs its objection against the policy
Of maintaining squadron which has proved so
Intellectual for the end in view. 1t says what
ever the rights of the case and however far the
Americans may be ready to 90 at present, in
compliance for peace sake, we cannot but look
forward to a day when it will he more disagree
able and at the same time unnecessary for the
Americans to submit and a still greater let-down
to our pride to give way. Aiter passing some
censure upon the apathy of the American gov

it concludes as follows:-
we do not compel her TO the virtue She has
not. Before very long the mere attempt must
bring on a fearful war Is there no such thing

thousand lives on both sides, and thirty millions

client, TO which we could put the half million of
money and the valuable lives annually sunk in
those squadrons p"
In the city article of the Times some rcaec-
tions are made on the same subject, and it is
asked whether surprising America TO be unwill-
ing to find ships tof supprcsSing the slave trade,
there might not be an agreement for one or two
American officers to be received as permanent
guests on board the British vessels while sprv-
ing on such duties. and for all searches to be
conducted under the auspices of such American
officers. The Times also has a leader in. favor
of putting an end to the anti-slavc trade cru
SADIE, on the ground that it will inevitably soon
bring on a serious collision between England
and the United States.
The Daily News editorial on the same sub
ject regards the affair as disagreeable one, but
thinks it is premature To jump at conclusions
without hearing both sides of the question. 1t
dlscrciits the reports made by some Of the
American captains. The same paper draws a
contrast between the serf emancipation policy
of Russia and the slave policy Of America, and
incidentally reviews the career of Tourquenef
and Edward Everett, upon the latter of whom
ii casts some bitter reflections.
The London Post thinks if injury has been
sustained England cannot refuse the reparation
demanded by secretary Cass, and calls for such
torbcaraucc in the matter complained of as will
not cndanger the friendly relations between the
two countries.
The London Star thinks the danger is immi-
nent unless the British government recede from
its untcnable position.
