The Dismissal of the Britwh Minister. At iset we have the conclusion of the Oramp- ton difficulty in the despatch from Mr. Marcy to Mr. Dallas, which was published iu the pa- pers yesterday, and the telegraphic news trom Washington published elsewhere. Both go- verpments figure badly in this contemptible business; instead ot looking like sensible, large minded bodies entrusted with the sdmin- istration of two great countries, they resemble smal) diplomatists or criminal pettifoggers en- goged in pleading s case at the Sessions. Lord Olsrendon’s despatch was ingenious and con- cilistory: but it wae full of the special plead- ing ef pettifogging diplomatists, Marcy, owever, has now beaten him at his ova wea- pons. He hasevinced higher skill in the wa- vestigation of testimony, aad has really sho ra up the British Minister in @ ridiculous ligh, as being forced by the necessities of bis posi- tion to disgrace and discredit his own agents U4, therefore, there were a post of District At torney to be disposed of, we should consider Mr. Marcy a much more available candidate jor the vacancy thaa Lord Clareudcn: though, in the matter betore ue, we are wholly at 8 toga te discover any credit which either of tne two has gained either for himself or for ais government. There isno doubt, from the disclosures of the diplomatic correspondence, that Lord Ola- renden’s goverament delibera'ely planaed a sneaking attempt to violate the neutrality lawe «ithe United States It was done waen they were preased and surrounded by diff ier: and at atime when silly Americans tra- velliag in Europe found them orly too ready en to stories of American sympathy. that Crampton Consuls ected in perfect good taith ard fairly carried out the secret orders of their government. There is, therefore. no reasot to fear that they will not be cared for by theic ewployers, unless Lerd Palmerston and his government be more ungenerous aad illiberal than they are usually supposed to ve here, What reception awaits Mr. Marcy's despatch sud the dismissed o: is on the other side the Water, we cau but conjecture. We see no rea- son to anticipate any interruption of ful relations of the two countries; ‘ Clarendon wod Mr. Marcy both eviden:ly penned their despatches ina studied fear of the intelligent masees in Englend and the United States. Th no danger of aay ia terruption of our commercial rsiations England; though wounded diplomatic p: May possibly suspend fcr # while diplomati> intercourse, Who cares for that?

Whatever the result may be, so far as that administration is concerned, such a debate is sure to produce a more heaithy state of feeling between the people of both ceua- tries. The British Parliamentary opsosition was unable to find a selid platform in the set- tlement of the Russian war. In the American question ali the various elements of opposi- tion may find a@ cound platform, from which they may assail the Ministry with more or less success, and without the least fear of damaging either nation. Here the policy of our government is not uni- yersally approved, even by its friends, as may be seen by the brief debate which tock place in the Senate when the President's Message was sent to that body. Several leading Southern Senators indicated their p- provel of the management of the aifuir by Mr. Marcy, and censured bis policy as beiag too slow and somewhat imbecile, though rigbt in its termination. The fact is, when Mr. Pierce and Mr. Marey were called upon to conduct the foreign business of this country, neither of the two had any experience tuat could serve them in performing the task. Mr. Pierce and portion of his Cabinet never got over their inexperience, or developed any 1a- tellect such as the management of the foretga policy required. Mr. Marcy, with more acute- ness of mind, aud unwearied 4ndustry, studied night and day for three years; and though at first he committed blunder upon blunder, in euch affairs as the Canada reciprocity measure, the Cubs question, and Central American matters, at last, after severe Grilling, he ena- bled himself to take the right course In this enlistment bi bim have the credit of doing the best thing that could be done under the circumstances, We are under no apprehension whatever as to the least serious difference er tweeu the two countries out of Mr. Oranoton’s | Missal.

The statement is confirm- ed in a letter to the New York organ of the prevent French government, which bears marks of having been inspired at the French lega- tion. The coentry is ander obligations to M. de Sartiges for his efforts to preserve our gocd understanding with our neighbors; none the less because it weeme difffoult to conceive what can Lave bees the principle of those efforts, or because they seem to have yielded such very small fruit. At the seme time, this may not be an inoppor- tune moment to observe that a more promising fie’d for the employmest of M.de Sartiges’ qualities as a peacemaker appears to lie in the natural course of his duties. The dispute with Mr. Crampton will be settled, undoubtedly, to the satisfaction of both countries, and that without any of those terrible consequences which the French Minister seemed to appre- hené; but it is not so clear by any means that the cloud of questions which is rising up between the United States and France cau be dispelled with the same ease. Some of those questions are in themselves exceed- ingly knotty and othérs exceedingly ridi- enlous, And M. de Sartiges ought to be aware that the spirit of at least one of the parties to them is not such as to encourage very sanguine hopes of an early solation on 4 pacific basis, It is, to speak plainly, very generally kucwao or believed that the feelings of the French Emperor toward this country are anytaing bat as friendly as our past relations with France would justify. It is understood that he still resents the supposed insult offered to one of his frigates by French exiles, wao sang the ‘ Merseillaise’’ around it, in this barbor, and for which he applied vainly to Mr. Mason for reparation. Itis well known that the late Minister of Foreign Affairs, M. Drouyo de VHuys, observed frankly to Mr. Piatt, late Se- cretary of the American Legatior at Parie, that “peace with the United States was more danzer- ous to France than war”—hinting, not obscure- ly, that, if an opportunity offered, the govern- ment cf France would pursue that course which appeared to involve least danger for itself. And it is quite notorious that the American military commission were refused permission to inspect the important French fortifications, on the express avowed ground that the pros- pects of hostilities with America were too im. minent to render such an Inspection prudent or safe. This was the language of Marshal Vaillant, the present French Minister of War, who, it ia eaid, closed the interview with per- fect politeness, by bidding the American offi cers adieu till they ‘met again at the cannon’s mouth,” Indications like these, coming from so pro- verbially discreet a severeign as the present Emperor of the French, are not by any means to be.overlooked. It is true, as M. Drouyn de “Huye said, that the United States are dan- gerous to hereditary despotic gevernments; and there is no question but they will grow more dapgerous from year to year, as inter- course and iravel increase, and the success of republican institutions in this country becomes more generally known. Nor is it to be doubt- ed that, in the present position of the Emperor of the French, a period of perfect tranquillity would be very likely to stir up political trou- blee which might precipitate the revolution that may one day be destined to subvert his dynasty. On the other hand, the United States have grave reacon to complain of the regalations whioh harass American shipping in Frencb ports, It is an actual fact that our vessels have contributed largely tu support a material branch of the French administration, and tha‘ latterly, the impost upon them hasbeen largely increased. The inequality at present existing between French and American vessels ia French ports is now so marked that were the French as good sailors as they are soldiers, we could not compete with them in the trade between America and France. Tuis is not right. It bas been borne for many years with this country in the hope that some more sagacious administration than those with which we have had to deal would gain power and remedy the grievance; but the present Emperor, embarrassed as the war has left him, is aggravating it. This country would sustain retaliatory mea sures of @ most stringent character, if we had an administration with the nerve t> propose them. Trench ships might either be especially loaded with taxes in American ports; or, and this would be the better plan by far, the trade with France might be suspended tor a while A brief embargo would very soon bring the French government to their senses; and would secure for us a safe and profitable trade on fair terme thereafter. It would be a measure of severity; and in the present frame of mind of the French Emperop, it might possibly lead to trouble: but it ia not the usual policy of this country to suffer injustice from a vague fear of consequences. Mr. Pierce, of cours, will not recover from the agony consequent upon the Crampton affair in time to attend to this; but it will engage the attention of his successor. And if M. de Sartiges be still Min- ister to Washington, he will then have an op- portunity of turning to good acvount the quali- ties that were thrown away on the enlistment difficulty.

Within the iest nive years the slavery ques tion has mode fearful progressin this country. It has spread from end to end of the Union, has overshadowed al} other questions, and ab- sorbed and concentrated within itself a very large proportion of the wational intellect. breeds civil war in Kansas, It leade to ont- rage and bloodehed in Washington. It is the wainspring of political parties, and envelopes them in the general excitement. At Chicago, the ex-Governor of a Territory of the United States addressed a crowd of people a couple of daye ago, in favor of immediate insurrection sgainet the established authorities of the coun- try. He wanted an armed expedition to be sent to Kansas for the purpose of carrying on scivil war. On Wednesday, a convention of Politicians calling themselves republicans met at Syracuee, chiefly to denounce one section of our common country; and we are told that “the sentiments which found most favor with the sssembled representatives were those which counselled a resort to arms.” Another convention, held at the same place on the same day, and consisting of persons self-styled radical abolitioniste, was even more violent; the principal speaker, the notorious Fred Dougiaee, openly exhorted slaves to kill their Masters, as that was # meritorious act if accomplished in the view of obdtaiaing freedom. A third convention held on the same day at Trenton, N. J., and com poeed of the same class of politicians, talked of the present organization of the coun- try asone of ‘turpitude and infamy,” while the princips! speakers exhausted their efforts toinflame the too inflammable material of their audiences. Nor is this exzitement con- fined to the North. Southern men have atiowed party feelings to dictate to them approval of acts of bigh-handed and savage violence. We bear of testimonials thu: are about to be pre- sented te Mr. Brooks for an act which at any Tate waa a h of the peace and av uajus tifftaple violation of the law. With such occurrences happening on all 2ides, the public attention could not but be abeorbed. They have drowned all other to- pies of conversation and debate. They have divided the nation into two opposing armies, animated with far more hostility towards each other than filled the breasts of the French aad the Russians during the late war. There is room in the American mind for nothing now but the slavery question. It was supposed by the fathers that they had settled the slavery question by the conatitu- tion. It had even then assumed the charsster of a disturbing topic, though all the States contained slaves; and the fathers, who were emivently practical men, and gave ao thoaght to ingenious philosophical theories, or fenati- cal principles, settled it by a compromise on the sensible basis of practical equilibrium between the North and the South. That settlement cannot be disturbed with im- punity. Solong as the present constitution of the country consmands the respect and acqui- eecence of @ mejarity of the States, the slave- holding portion of the country onght to enjoy equality of power with the non-slaveholding portion, in st least one branch of Congress. When this rule is departed from, the princi- ple of the constitution will be thrown to toe winds. The inevitable consequences of that event will be fearful disturbances throughout the country, ending in the disruption ot the Union and actual civil war. We are now reaching that crisis. There is no prospect anywhere of a lull in the storm, of a tendency to moderation in the language or acts of the political parties. There is no dit- ference between them. Pro-slavery men and apti-slavery men—they are all alike; there is no moderation, or courtesy, or candor, or real patriotism in any of them. Oae and all, ou both sides, they are for disorder, aad violence, and bloodshed, and riflesand cannon. Neither allows for moment that there can be say other appeal than to brute force. The retro grade movement has begun; our republican institutions have begun to decline; unless tue strong arm of the people be outstretched to save them, the retrograde process will continue rapidly, until the nation sinks to the lowes: stage of barbarism, anarchy, robbery and mur der. Tur Kansas Bustvess.—The exaggerations put forth by recent telegraphic despatches respecting the civil war in Kansas have had their day. We have now some reliable intelli- gence by mail, by which the civil war is made to dwindle down to a riot of inconsiderable dimensions, in which a life was lost on each eide- At the last authentic accounts the civil war had terminated in the flight of all the lealera of the anti-slavery pariy. The whole of this business originated with President Pierce aud his adviser, Forney. By appointing as Gov- ernor Mr. Reeder, who turned out to be a land epeculator, and who invited a host of an- tislavery landjobbers like himself into the Territory, they started all this excitement Reeder’s anti-slavery movements and land speculations naturally stirred up the blood of the borderers of Missouri and the pro-slavery men of the other States. The latter accord- ingly flocked into the Territory; but on the first appearance of civil war all the anti- slavery leaders fled, and lett the nigger drivers triumphant throughout Kansas. Reeder aod his associates are now roaming about the coun- try, raging like madmen, and calling on the Northern States to fight the battle which they had not the courage themselves to see out, The consequence is that Kansas will bo a lave Territory, and will probably ask admis sion into the Union as a slave State. If it sbou'd do so we see no reason why it should be refused. Her admission in this character will serve to make an equipoise to the influ ence of the Northern Staiea. Trovpies Expecrep iy Nicaracva.—We ex- pect accounts to reach us soon from Nicara- gua of a very exciting character. The French fleet, according to the last advices, waa ap- proaching that region; and although iatelli- gence has reached ua from Havana that the Spenich fleet was about to make a demonstra- tion egainst Vera Cruz, we rather think that softer it has settled matters with Mexico it will join the French fleet in some importaat opsra- tion agsinet Nicaragua. Whet position the Eoglisb squadron will occupy during theas movements it is difficult to tell; probably is Will Jie by and look quietly on. We are very much disposed to believe, from the iuforms tion we porsevs, that both the Freach and Spsnieb fleete have orders from their respeo- tive governments to unite their torces ag: Central America, and root out all ¢ ost Aneri con filibusters trom that region. Io suyhs comp’ doation, what will the United States gov- ern’ gent do? If the French and Spanish fleeta sh ould violate the neutrality of Nicaragua, ‘does not the Clayton-Bulwer treaty render it imperative on England and on our govern- ment to unite and put an end to all interfer- ence on the part of other Powers?
