ouR RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND.


By the steamship Arabia We arc furnished
With brief account Of the debates In the Brit
ish Parliament UPON American Affairs. or the
obsery ations transmitted the most significant
is that of Mr.. Golden. He Is reported as hay-
ing said that American shipping has become
almost yaluelees In consequence Of the seizures
made by the Confederate cruisers; and that the
American Government takes note Of the name
and value Of every vessel captured and debts II
To the British Government. If this latter re-
mark is not literally true the time will come
'rhen the record and evidence Of all these out
reges will be made up and the British Govern
lhsut required to make full compensation. II
is not only true that the vessels arc built in
English yards and armed with English guns
and munitions, but thoy are actually manned BY
British subjects. Tho criminal negligence Of
the British Ministry can lead In the end TO hut
One result American commerce will gradual
ly disappear, 1.-THE war shall continue another
year, and the ravagss Of the British pirates
under the Confederate nag, shall not be arreet-
Cd, cur commerce will have disappeared.
There will then be no restraint upon the com.
merelal class. II there shall be slight occa-
sion for hostillties, the two nations arc likely
to be involved In war.
What then will happenf Our steam marine
will be at once converted into privateers,
and the commerce Of Great Britain will bt
driven from tho ocean. Thus docs the crimi
nal neglect OF the Queens advisers tend to th.
disturbance Of the peace Of the world. English
.ulors and English subjects may wisely consid
or their own circumstances In contrast will
those Of the United States. England has coal
iron, and water In sunicient quantities, but sh
.is dependent upon manufactures aud commerce
for her supplies OF cotton, wool, and bread. A
the present moment tho loyal districts Of tn,
United States can produce more cotton than
needed for the consumption Of the country
or firon, coal, breadstuffs, and minerals of ever,
kind there Is an over supply. War Is not dc
sirable, even with England; but war Is not tn
greatest Of evils. A nation Of spirit csuno
submit to injustice, to iusolence, " outrag,
through series Of years, and make no efIor
10 avense its wrongs. The course Of Euglant
daring the trying period of our domestic
troubles, has alieuatod every American Of tn
loyal States, whatever his opinions upon tn
Administration or tho conduct Of the wa,
These are significant facts, and indicate whs
the future has In store for us.
The Vaccinations Of Napoleon In Mexic
deserve attention. but the country should bes
in mind the great fact that the United State
can restore the Mexican nation to its place a
aRepubllc, whenever the attempt shall be mad,
and, indeed, it 10 not Improbable that Napoleo
will md excuse for quitting possession whic
promises no good to the French empire. Noilhs
theAmerican people nor rulers entertain hostil
sentiments towards Napoleon or tho Frencl
His policy 10 Mexico Is distsstGful to Us. "
understand full we'll, however, that II We r,
store the Union VIC shall be equal to the tas
OF interfering successfully In Mexico, wheths
by diplomacy or arms. II wo fall to re-estat
lish the Union, then II can be of little cons,
quence to the people Of the North whether M
poleon Is or Is not supreme In Mexico.
