The Paris Constitutional in article on the diff
culties between the United States and Great Britain,
observes
That the present difference has given rise to remark
which before forciby struck public opinion,
which is whenever any difference arises between these
two powers gives proof Of the most perfect mode
ration and condescension which is not habitua to it
while the other on the contrary, effects susceptibility
and becomes eXactng to a great degree. The COnstu
tionne explains this fact by showing that although the
United States have developed their strength, and in
creasing in proportion hitherto unknown the extent of
their territory, the British nation is by means intim
idated does she fear their army or their fleet The
length of time the government of the United States has
been reducing the Mormons to submission is not cacu
lated to give grand idea of its military strength Their
navy looks large on paper because the steamboats, which
convey passengers the rivers included In the eec
tive force but in of Great Britain would have
great superiority. The English Government is concilia
tory because the United States supply the English
ufacturers with cotton, which article provides employ
ment for so large proportion OF the English people
But says the Constitutional if the English people have
need % purchase cotton the Americans feel equal ne
cessity to find purchasers So that although the English
Government is ready to make sacrifices for the
maintenance of peace, the American people would suffer
most by war between the two countries. War would
not deprive England of cotton for the American plant
ers would send their produce to Havre Antwerp, Rot
terdam and all the Northern ports They would send
their cotton into English ports in neutral bottoms, and
the Americans would draw their spun cotton from Eng
land by similar conveyance The only Inconvenience
to England would be that the intervention of third
party between the buyer and the seller would increase
the price of cotton to the English manufacturer and the
Americans would probably try every expedient, and
might finally succeed in manufacturing the material
at home.
The Constitutional concludes thus
The manufacture of cotton is for England the occupa
ton and life of 100000 or 100000 inhabitants 1t
feeds entire provinces During the late crisis on that
side of the channel thousand ofoperatyes
by public charity. What, then, would be the conse-
quence when those cotton manufacturers who work five
days out of six to cothe foreigners, should lose that
market? Who can tell what might happen? 1t is then
that England might terrible revolution at home
The cotton question would be converted into social
renders England prudent and so moderate with re-
gard to the United States and which, the other hand

of necessity, she might carry to degree of temcr
