ENGLAND.
The London Times has a leader on the qneS-
ton of the right of search. and thinks the only
way to get out Of the difficulty is a declaration
tina, the slave trade is piracy. This, however,
the Americans will not do. and the French will
not do. .sThus. therefore" says the Times. 1--WE
90 on wasting the precious lives of English
Sailors upon the coast of Africa, where one res
cued negro cannot be shown as q set off asains;
ten dead Englishmen-where our impotcnt
force has become u mockery, and our blind and
useless zeal a jest"
The affair Of the steamer Washington at Nj
caracua, has given rise to editorials in the Eng
lish press.
The Times" after recounting the features
of the case, concludes rs follows: I'VE may
remark that this style of communication. in
which at every difficulty war is denounced as
good sense, cannot even give them any real
reputation for courage. \ collision between
the armed forces Of England and America
would be an event fraught with terrible conSe-
ouences, and perhaps a long and bloody war
would be carried on in the most f~erocious spirit,
with the ruin Of 4 vast trade, and a c~hecklto
the progress Of both hemiSpheres would be the
result. A struggle between two such peoples
would bring into play animosities which would
be all the more bitter for relationship. TO be
continually talking Of war is a proof that 4 ma
ton has not weighed its consequences We
vino have experience Of il, and who, as history
proves, do not shrink from it when it is neces-
sary, have learned moi TO take in vain the name
of the God of Battles"
The DAILY News" thinks the American CO.
vernment had better take especial care of Gene
raj Walker and his followers. rs the best
method Of preventing similar occurrences in
future, ana suggests that Sir Vim. Gore Ouse-
ley's presence in the Nalorous ought to have
assured politicians at Washington that there
was no insult or mistake in the case.
FRANCE.
The London Globes Paris correspondent
writes-"I am able to state, very confidently,
that the Court Of the Tuileries has, within the
last two or three days. caused Lord Derby
government to be officially informed that. in
case England should think tit to take any
measure to counterfeit the American policy IN
dictated in certain parts Of President Buchan-
ans speech. she may rely upon the support OF
France to the Utmost extent.
The correspondent Of the Daily News thinks
it highly probable that the Paris Conference
will soon be convoked on account Of the trout
Bile in Servia.
The chess match between Paul Morphy and
Professor ANDERSEN, at Paris, had resulted in
the triumph of the American champion. The
scope at the close, stood as follows Morphy

SPAIN.
The Peninsular correspondent says: The
news which the electric telegraph has brought
concerning the message of the President of the
United States, has produced a great sensation
in this CITY, and has already been commented
on by the daily journals, in n tone of offended
national pride, which might naturally hc cX-
pected."
The Dia asserts that the declaration Of Mr..
Buchanan, provokes laughter rather than an
ger. and saws that if he cndeavors to make
himself the apostle Of the infamous American
6llibustcrism, it will probably cost him As dear
as it has done all those who have tried to real
ize their ridiculous projects. AS to buying the
Spanish Antilles, it says that only a man who
knows nothing Of Spain and SpaniardS could
mention such an abSurdity.
The Monarouia considers President Buc}ian-
ans message mere election clap-trap, and n con
tinuntion Of that which he made at Ostcnd TO
obtain for himself p~artisans for the Presidency.

ba, little fear need be entertained about Cuba,
garrisoned by the flower Of tho Spanish army,
and provided with iotilla large enough to cut

the following piece offinc writing, which express
es, however, the national opinion: "Are there
still in Spain men who believe that the Uni
ted States arc able to snatch Cuba from us; our
national pride rebels against such an idea. The
nation which first planted the Cross on the
American Continent-which overthrow EN-.
pires, and then gave them her civilization and
her laws, which still waves her glorious stan
dard over the splendid beauty Of the Antilles
can never believe that day will come when the

burning ruins wave till the last the standard of
old Spain-a standard which may perhaps be
