Tao saa Jass Affair.

THE occupation VI the Island OF Fan Juan, by
American troops, excites the ire Of some Of the
English journals, while others commen, upon it
In tone Of moderation and conciliation. Ths
Manchester Guardian, always rabidly Anti
American, Is In favor " war right away, unless
the American Government dsayows the acts Of
General HARVEY, and withdraws every soldier
from the leland. The Island, says the Guardian,
is ths Key to the Gulf Of Georgia. and England
must have possession III.
The London Times Is less belcose, but argues
In favor Of Englani's title to the Island, and
says Englsnd must maintain her rights. The
7imfs, however, says the matter in dispute Is
one Of a character which would justify a quar-
rel between the two nations, and It proceeds to
state their relstioni in very practical IN amor.
