THE VIsIT of British officers to the steamer
Washington, suspected of having flibusters on
board, about which there was at first an eleva-
tion Of the back, has narrowed down to mere
visit Of courtesy, sort Of social punctilio, OBJ
served among officers Of National vessels. So
we infer from some of the representations we
have met with. The n. Y. Courier 6. Enquir-
er letter writer denominates it the practice of
search in contradstinction to the right OF search
which is said to be quite allowable. This man
ner Of accounting for the thing is all satisfac-
tory enough, probably, but it contrasts rather
funnily with the Juror raised during last session
of Congress, when the whole British Navy
cane so near forming an acquaintance with the
~ Highways, and by-ways" of the Gulf of Mexi
co. There are some aspects about this matter
that our PHILOSOPHY is not quite equal to.
