If they had begun by a firm but courteous remonstrance, and proposed either a compromise or an arbitration, the re- sult would have been satisfactory to the Downing atreet officials. Instead of that, however. Lord John Russell ‘used language which was neither diplomatic nor civil, and our State Department met it with a spirit of resistance becoming to our dignity, and which bas put an effectual stop to the bluster of the inexperienced statemen in charge ‘of the foreign policy of the ,present English Cabinet. Since I wrote you last Mr. Dallas has had an inter- view with Lord John Russell, and communicated a des patch received by the last steamer from General Cass, which stated the positive belief of our government to be that the island of San Juan belongs of right to the United States. This was the pithy reply of our government to the ‘very emphatic assertion of the English Cabinet that the island of San Juan belonged to the British Crown. As both governments laid claim to the island in language equally decided there was nothing left but to fight for it, or for one of them to recede fiom an untenable position. ‘This latter alternative her Majesty’s government has ac- cepted, and Lord John Russell, in the interview with Mr. Dallas 1 have just spoken of, undertook, in the most con- ciliatory manner, to explain away the arrogant expres- sions make use of in his drst despatch to Lord Lyons. ‘The inevitable consequence of this proceeding on the part of the Foreign Office here is that San Juan will remain in our hands, which wil be sorely annoying to the British government; aud, what fs still worse, is the necessity of submitting to the Humiliation of abandoning the claim that was made in @uch peremptory terms. This mortifying result only proves that Lord John Russell is totally deficient in dipio- matic tact, and which he has never failed to show when- ever, by any mischance, he has bad anything to do with the foreign policy of Eugland. He gets on very wellasa member of Parliament; but he is a very incompetent Minister of Foreign Affairs. As Lord Palmerston sees the ‘absolute necessity of retreating from the false position his clumsy subordinate fell into, the hint was given to the London Pimes, which may be regarded as the organ of the % Cabinet, and yesterday a grand leading article appeared announcing the incontrovertible fact that “War between England and America is impossible.” Nothing can be more ably and eloquently stated than the all-sufliciont reasons ‘that render the horrible contingency of war between these Kindred nations al) but impossible; yet it winds up with a mon sequitur that defeats the very purpose for which it was written. The object evidently was to prepare the pablic for a quiet surrender of the alleged British right to San Jvan; but, of a sudden, as if fearful of encouraging our State Department too much, the writer most inconsis- tently closes with the unqualified declaration that San Juan is indispensable to the security of Vancouver's Island, and that the British government can never give it up. One would suppose that Lord John Russell him- self must have written the article; for it exactly corres- ponds to the {illogical and capricious conduct he has dis- played from the begioning in this important matter. It is all very well for we London Times and its prafigé, the Foreign Ctice, to blind the Englieh public by artfully seeking to throw the blame of this and all other diffical- ties upon our government and people. The enterprising spirit of both countries will, frequent. dy, bring them into contact, and as often, it may be, into Opposition; but if the Foreign Office really desires to settle disputes amicably an? profitably, its language and con- duct ought always i ve dignified and sensibie. There is a great deal of talk about a war between France and England, and newspaper writers and pamph- leteers in both countries are glad to lay hold of such an exciting topic to attract the attention of readers. It would ‘be going too far for your correspondent to assert that such an event was ont of thequestion, but it may be safely de- clared as highly improbable. "To judge from appear- ances, I grant you, a spectator might be led to think that war was rapidly maturing in both countries. For some time, France has been increasing her navy to formidable and threatening proportions, a3 well as fortifying her coust in the most skillful aud sat stantial manner. does all this mean, unices.a wi with ber great maritime rival, England?

Tt was feared that an acceptance of the Regency would shock the views of the Great Powers, who would oppose it, and that, bailed in their desires, the people of Central Italy would break out into anarchy and confusion. But they are by far too earnest in their present work to jeopardise the future by acting thoughtlessly for the time ‘being, and it was precisely to escape all disorder or spirit of revolution that the Assembles voted as they did. They felt the absolute necessity of having a provisional govern- ment while awaiting the deliberations of a Congress, the more 80 as much time might elapse ere any settlement was made. King Victor Emanuel found himself in a predicament. He did not wish to accept for a relative and a member of the royal family of Saxony a regency that a Congress of the great Powers might take away from him, and yet he wished to act consistently with his duty as the defender of Italian independence and nationality. In such a frame of mind he appealed for advice, as Iam assured on good au- thority, to the Emperor Napoleon, and was by him ad- vised to refuse the regency for bis cousin, You may de- pend upon the exactitude of this assertion. Tho Prince then made kuown to the Assemblies that he could not, for State reasons, accept the proffered regency, but at the same time he named as Regent the Chovalier Buon- compagni, the latter having intimated his readiness to accept the honor and respousibility of that office. The Prince was aware that should the Congress uado the yote of the Assemblies that the honor of Sardinia would not be at stake, as would have been the case were he ta office. The ultramontaaists and legitimista, ag well as the numerous enemies of Italian liberty aud nationality, will make a terrible outcry against the nomination of Chevalier Broncampagnl, but they will not for tuat alter the state of al » and the well wishes of a people struggling to obtain a rank and name among the nations of the earth§ will rejoice that by this provisi govern- ment Italy 1s saved from disorders such as would have alieniated those most anxious for her peace and prosperity, I can inform you that yesterday the invitations for the meeting of a Congress in Paris were despaiched to the different governments of Europe that are therein to be represented. We can thus come to a conclusion as to what time the Congress will commence its sittings. It will take eight or ten days for the invitation to reach St. Petersburg, the remotest capital to begent to. As it is the Minister of Foreign Af- fairs that isto represent Russia, that diplomat cannot leave his post ere giving such instructions and taking such measures a8 will render his absence possible. We may ‘thus set down as a likelihood that the Congress will com- mence the fatter part of December or the first of Janu- ary—more likely tbe Jatter date. 1am aware that Spain bas been invited to send her tative to the Con- - Some of the English journais bave mentioned ely that the Queen’s government had not officially ac- cepted the Congress.

You will notice as e significant fact, the afforig be English journals to encourage a spirit of rorolition taly. They advise the people to trust to Garibaldi and his soldiers alone, and by naming him Dictator put an end to the troubles and uncertainties of the present. It will be apparent to your readers that no good motives induce this advice, England merely wisning to embarrass the Emperor Napoleon fn his Italian Policy. But the people are too much in earnest to think of entertaining for a mo- ment the bad counsels of ‘ho English journals. The} want to become a nation well established and recoguiaed, and are aware, by experience, that they must not count upon the sympathy of England, who makes a merit of ehouting out her desires to aid the independence of Italy, but who confines herself to shouting, never acting, when the moment has arrived for her go doing. The conduct of the English Ministry before the commencement of the late campaign has opened tne eyes of the people of Central hollowness of her protended thropy, and they know how little it is really worth. While Ttaly, during the late cam; I became acquainted with ‘some of the leading men, and from and reliable formation as to the real state of affairs in that country. My informants assure me that the Assem- biies voted the Regency todo away with the danger of revolution, It was felt thatthere must be some recog- nized form of government, so that private ambition might be defeated. A spirit of weariness was being evinced, and uncertainty was beginning to undermine the good rosulyes of the people. It was then that to avert acommon danger the assemblies of the Legation and the Duchies voted a | Regency. Now that it is accepted, they feel sure of the future—that is until the deliberation of a Congre: shall have definitely settled matters.

In this new counsel we must only see an additional prov! of the Emperor's solicitude for the Itailan cause, which, triumph. anton the fields of batile, now depends only on European ac- bitration, ‘Thus, in all probability, the Contral States will be ferced to await the action ef the Congress, There can exist no doubt that the King of Sardinia will, upon the re- resentations of this government, refuse to permit the | mag of Chevalier Booncompagni, and, in fact, I may State that the note in the itutic only appeared when the King’s acquiescence with its wishes was known here by this government. This decision is to be regret- ted, if only from tho fact that the Regency of the Cheva- lier was in no way binding upon the Con; }, and was a guarentee for the peaceful continuance of affairs in Central Italy until a final settlement by the Congrees. Nothing can equal the enthusiasm evinced by the Spa- nish people as regards the war with the Moors. The Ma- drid journals state that an an audience which the Count de Lucena (0’Donnell) bad of their Majesties just before his departure from Madrid to take commaud of tho expedi- tion, his Majesty said that in the event of the Marshal thinking that the services of another general would be useful, be, in his quality of husband of the Queen, as Marshal of the national armies, as a Spaniard and as a gentleman, was r¢ to share all thoir perils and fa- ‘The Queen, it is sald, listened to the declaration with tears in her eyes, and O'Donnell thanked her Majes- ty with profound emotion, in the name of the country, and that if circumstances should require it nothin, ‘would be more agreeable to him than to place himself under the orders of his Majesty.

The English diplomats are not, so say the Spanish jour- nals, remarkable for extreme reserve. They recail the excitement produced in the official world by the singular discourse pronounced by Sir Robert Peel after the corona- tion of Alexander IT.

Garibaldi and the Army of Centro! Taly—2» Congress— Prince Metternich in Pori:—Plon-Plon's Operations Against the Emperor, de. ‘We are now assured that Genera! Garibaldi has resigned hia military command, and that he is to retire to the island of Sardinia. The General is,1 suppose, tired of struggling against the */irit of insubordination of the troops placed under his command, and, fearing grave disorders when be ascertained that there was to be no Regency, he bas given up a position likely to become a most irksome one. Tho Army of the League is badly paid and badly fed, and will, Jam afraid, commit some grave excesses unless kept in order by the Piedmontese troops sent into the Duchies by Victor Emanuel, who was warned by Garibaldi that a storm was brewing. In the beginning of my letter I informed you that invitations had been despatched to the Powers of Europe to attend the ap- Proaching Congress I can to-day name thoso that will be reprecented. They are France, Austria, Sardinia, Eng- land, Russia, Prussia, Spain, Portugal, Sweden and the Papal States. Tt is rumored here that Antonelliwill be the Pope's representative. 3. de Mautier, French Minister at Berlin, is to be transferred to the Court of Francis Joseph, at Vienna, and the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergue, nov at Turin, will replace M. de Mautier at Berlin, Prince Metternich received, a day or two ago, big off- conduct of his soldiers. The King at once ordered that a number of Sardinian troops should march into the Duchies, to preserve, in case of need, that oracr and observance of the Jaws that are necessary to prevent a revolution. Our legitimists and other enemies of Italy are crying out against this step; but the fact is one approved of here, and is a sure sign that the King intends not only doing his duty to Italy but alse to Earope; for who can tell whore a revolution begua in Central Italy would end? In order to meet all juences, Sardinia is preparing an army of two hundred thousand men. But half of the unmber will be in actual gervice; the other half, however, will be available in the short space of two months from’ the time of notice given that they are needed. It is rumored here that the Sardinian government is about to ad- dress to the great Powers of Europe a memo- j Tandnm to the eifect that an Italian Confedera- | tion, in which Austria is concerned, is dangerous and | most impossible. The youog mon of Veniia are leaving | that province in great uumbers, and invariadly enter as | yolonteers either in the army of the league or join tl | Sardinian forces. They are all imbucd with a most dea | ly batred of the Austrians, and, in case of a stroggle with them these young exiles will doubtless perform acts of heroiem such as will teach the Austrian government that to tyrannize over a nation is to acquire many ene- | mies who may some day rotaliate the more cruelly that the oppression was harsh and unjust. | France and England seem drifting into a war, In fact, | the French people are beginning to perceive a gpirit of | malevolence on the part of England that bodes no good | to them. die building wit and actively seo the Engiish arming on all sides, _ great rapidity vessels of . war, ig their const defences—for to repel a French in- But, say the French, as we have no idea | of invading England, and as her armaments are assuming | too great a proportion for merely oefensive purposes, | England must intend making an attack upon ome powe: | fol mation.

Jobn Bull feels that France ia rivalling hin, and be must pull her oown. The policy is a bad, sel- fich one, but history proves that it hag ever been that of Englund. While watching with an anxious and jealous eye the rapid progress of France, she does not overlook the wonderful prosperity of the United States. Her jour- hale teem with articles on our people and institutions, avd the errors inseparable with the youth of our migbty country and her peculiar institutions are magnifled | snd commented upon in an uncharitable and unkind spirit. To believe them, we are a nation of filbusters and assas- sins, and the revolver is our only law maker, At the | Present time the San Juan difficulty somewhat tempers this abuse, the more so as an articlein the New York Hienatp intimates that there is more danger of an outbreak between the two countries than is supposad. Once this sffair settled, however. the Englieh journals will make up for lost time, and we shall catch it right and left. I must tell you ee peronching emposé that bids fair to show up the faith of England in her diplomatic relations. Some days since the organ of Lord Palmerston publishea the cor- dence that passed betwcen the Cabinets of St. James and Madrid, to prove that, contrary to the general bolief, England bad not undue pressure to nt Spain from undertaking the war with Morocco. Tus clearly proved by the correspondence that was published by the ministerial }, but unfortunately for the credit of the Cabinet of St. James, the Spanish now announce that England of the cor dence, and public the aspect of things would then be entirely changed, to prove which the Madrid papers are going to publish the whole of the correspondence upon the subject of the war ‘with Morocco. I know from good authority that Austria is now making strenuous efforts to arrange matters upon an amicable footing with Russia. Envoys bave been for the last few months backward and forward between St. Peters- Vienna, and to gain her object Austria has not hesitated as to making great concessions to Russia ‘d- ing the Orient question. You rege able to judge of the truth of this if only from uni en dis- played by the A journals in denying the ; they cial appointment from Vienna ag Minister Plenipotentiary ofthe Austrian Court in Paris. The Prince ig at present at Compiegne, where he is to remain another week. On the 22d the Grand Ducheas Marie of Russia goes to Compiegne by invitation of their Majesties, and will re- main there until the Court return to Paris, when she will, with her children go to Nice, where she will reside dur- ing the wivter. Prince Napoleon is having his apart- ments in the Palais Royal magnificently decorated, and will—so it is taid—give a series of the most brilliant entertainments during the season. He will, no doubt, collect around him a set of men disappointed in their selfish or ambitious views who willsoon swear but by Pion-Pion, but be will not for that succeed in building up a party. ‘He is an active and energetic man, but does not possces the secret of making frieuds. He is seemingly a liberal, but all his fiberality consists in making a show of opposition to the relative that hus ever been his most generous friend. This forces itself upon the observation of even his warmest adherents, and they can bat have Itttle confidence in one who so easily forgets favors con- stantly extended to him. Our Dispute With England. THE SAN JUAN ISLAND DIFFICULTY—CAN THERE BE WAB BRIWEEN ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES? {From the London Times, Noy. 17.) War between England and America is impossible. Suote ig the secure conviction of every rational man in Ameri. ca, and of everybody of every age and station in England. Perhaps it is algo the conviction of tho wild banditti who swarm upon our frontiers, and of their unprincipled sym- pathizers who habitually write up war in the newspapers, and spout war speeches in the towns. War is impossible, not only by reagon of the strong sympathies which bind us together, not only by reason of onr common origin and our closely intertwined interests, but also by reason of the terrific character which every one knows that such acontest must assume. A war between England and America would be almosta civil war—the most bitter, the most relentiess, aud the most cruel of all wars. It could be produced only by exasporation on both sides, arisen to the pitch of a uational madness. As it went on it would certainly be tmarked by an futensity of passion which would, ag bas happened in all civil wars, carry the combatants beyond the influence of the ordinary courte: sien and moderations of a mere national contest. Not. withstanding any stipulations that may have been made Foley bea ye the poo of both countries would the prey of rovers and pirates upon every sea; Eng- land's at and England's treasure would ‘be waste in distant expeditions to ok those glorious and peace- ful achievements of her own children which are now her pride; our factories would be closed, amd the million and a mouths nt upon them would be without tread; putting “forth in our anger all our strength, wo should be defenceless among oar Eu- ropean neighbors, and we should fall, at least for that time, from our place ag equal among the greatest of the Ese Powers of the world, On the other side of the At- tic the spectacle would be one of at least eqnal horror; the fair cities of the Atlantic in flames, their commerce gone, and their somewhat inflated system of commercial credit rent; the swift strides of that genius of improve- ment which wanders 80 restlessly up and down arrestad; population destroyed; a rothicas war between slaves an masters raging through baifthe land; bloodshed on the eeasand bloodshed on the land, and nothing growing but fierce and unnatural hatreds. ee and = Asia an watching paroxy: rible Anglo-Saxon race which Dopolise the Almighty’s mn to go forth and people the earth; wondering to see that vast family, whose expansion yy had envied, whose industs energy they had found it vain to emulate, and whore free thoughts, wafted over the world, were ever sowing them- pets in pg pesis nd te now wt the ay ed lerpriao of destroying their common property and shed- ding their own bisod’ ‘These ‘thoughts, h unspo- ken, are present to every mind.

These different methods of acting upon the same conviction) have now gone on for some years, and have almost become an Americaa insti- tution. If a United States filibuster should happen to be in a strait be invents some outrage froma British crulwer,and he becomes a hero, If a military man sholud be a little under a cloud, he invents an aggreasion on the part of an English Governor, and resents it in a spirite1 manner, Re also becomes a hero, and perhaps « President. It seems to be now generally understood in the United States that to pull a hair out of the lion’s tail is a specific for every damaged fortune and every clouiod fame. ‘War is impossible,”’ therefore America shows her spirit by every now and then pa little kick to Eng- land. “War is impossible,” thorefore England porsists in not feeling the kick, or in accepting it asa friendly nudge. The other day a General Harney made himself immor- tal by sending a party to invade a British island—or, at any rate, an island in British posscesiou, and regulated by au English Justice of the Peace. We, however, were, as usual, pacific and civil, and put the best construction on the act, and asked for reasons. Reasons were given; but, as they were based upon the invention of a fact whictt had never bappened, we, through our local Governor, most civilly intimated that they were not conclusive. General Harney replied, in effect, that he ac- cepted our apology, and would continue his oc- ation. Every mail now brings us tidings of the enthu- siasm of the American tail for Genoral Harney; and now that it has been shown that the reason assigned by him was a mere fabrication, all excuses are thrown aside, and the cry is, The Island of San Juan is the key to the Gulf of Georgia; we want it, and we were bound to have tt.”” ‘There are some convictions wh.ch work out their own truth in practice; but there are others which tend to their own practical refutation. We sincerely hopo that the different readings of the axiom that “War between Eu- rope aud America is impossible,"” may not be an illus- tration of this truth. The Island of San Juan is not, like preceding extortions, asmalt extortion. It lies in a channel, down the middle of which the treaty de- clares that the frontier line shall pass. It is six miles from the British shore of Vanconver’s Island, and thirty from the American mainland. It is within fall view of our city of Victoria, and a fort erected on San Juan would command the channel through which our ships must pass to all British Columbia. It is therefore obviously a British Island, and it is as obviously most {m- portant to us that it should remain so. Unless some very different title can be brought forward from any that we have seen, We can DO more surrender it to America than we could surrender the Isle of Wight or the Isle of Dogs. It is with great satisfaction, then, we hear that the ques- tion bas not been left to be fought out between General Harney aud Governor Douglass, ut that the stafus quo will be maintained at San Juan, and the right to the island solemnly and coolly discussed either in London or at Washington. (From the London Post (government argan). Nov. 12.] * * * * * * * England has piaced herself {in no false position.

On the other hand, the course of the American General bas been violent and offensive, He has placed his country in s position which Mr. Buchanan himself cannot fully justify, and he has provoked a quarrel which, butfor the forbearance of the British authorities, might have led to the most lamentable ant disastrous results, Americans must place themselves entirely in the right bofore they taRk of their own forbearance or the unfriendly policy of Great Britain in this or any other body is curved y ead Jow for it, when every other ee | manner. The Avglo-French Alliance. / THE FEARS OF LORD PALMERSTON—HIS APPEAL TO LOUIS NAPOLEON. [From the London Post, Nov. 16.) If it be true that a firm confidence in the continuance of peaceful relations with France is of great importance to tbe commerco, the wenecel pevgrens, and the domestic happiness of ‘the people of England, no act could be more wicked or more ‘indignant public repro- that confidence by the propagation of suspicions that have no warrant wn a fore ds that have no foundation in fact. ‘This country ardently desires pace. is essential to the onward flow of commercial business, to the progress of our public works, to the improvements in our social and political condition, and to the developement of our colonial policy. There is not an interest belonging to us that has not a vital stake in the question of peace or war. Englishmen are not afraid of war, ecessity arise pen will prove that. But on the highest principles of kc and the strongest motives of common interest, they feel id to avert any such necessity. War with France is jally to be deprecated. France is our na- tural ally. ce has worked with us in the intorests of Europe, in the rome ot Pree international priact- ples, in the vindication of the faith of treaties, in the pro- tection of the weak against the strong, in first deprecating and then chastising wanton aggression, in insisting upon the balance of power, in declaring the extinction of the age of conquest, and in avowing the duty of great States to promote the peace, the liberty and the progress of the world. In dependence upon the continuance of this una- nimity we are engaging with France to carry a joint expe- difion to China, and we are contemplating the contin- gency of meeting’her in Congress on the affuirs of Italy. Atsuch a moment, and without any premonition, the Times astonishes England with a labored article that at once tends to create confusion here and irritation in France. A more wanton abuse of great public influence, a more flagrant forgetfulness of responsibility, was nover perpetrated by any journal than was yesterday perpe- trated by the paper we have mentioned. It sounds the alarm of war. It is specially designed to put the blood of the nation up. There is nothtng left to probability. Wo are told plainly that the French aro irritated against us; that the press stirs the people, and the government in: spires the press; that the Emperor i, ei that inspira- tion, and wishes us to feel yw ditter is the enmity of Frenchmen to England, and how glad “they would be to be summoned to in- vade our shores. In this wicked and_ alarming statement everything is taken for granted. Nothing is proved. No relation is shown to exist between the evil dreaded and anything going on in Burope, either with respect to Itally or any other kingdom. All is said to centre iu, and be traceable to, the hatred of the French cople to us. Beyoud this there is not a shadow of pro- ability off-red us ia the shape of argument. Allis sup- position or aesumption. We are told that a great project is certainly brewing which must result in a hostile de- scent of the French army on our shores, and that at any moment. We must confess to our astonishment at the expression of stich panic in auch a quarter; and, as re- gards its wantonness, with feelings of humiliation that an organ of the press should stoop so low and compromise ite character 80 grievously. The invasion panic has been a periodical thing ever since the re-establishment of the French empire, but it has never spread far. It has taken no hold upon the peo- ple of England. The good sense of the press has - rally como in aid of old women’s fears, or the iy quaims of unreflecting alarmists, and, after half a dozen letters to the papers saying how a landing could be dest effected, and London best reached, the agony has passed off like a fitof ngue, people have ceasod to quake, and every one has returned to bis propreitics. But here is ‘an attempt to stir up this panic again, on the plea that the grounds and justification of it are patent toall eyes, and logi- cally deducib'e from ascertained facts. Unfortunately, for every thousand persons who will accept the alarm, proba- biy only one will investigate the arguments by which it is Bupported, and thus one great step will have been taken towards bringing about what has been 0 fiagitious! prophesied. People in England will become justas irrl- tated as the people of France. One bad feeling will be reciprocated by another, and at every stage the strength of the alliance will receive a blow; the divergence in the policy of the two nations will be more apparent; there will be more heartburning, more suspicion, less confl- dence, less npited action, less reluctance to break friend- ship, and at Inst no alternative but a quarrel, with its criminations and recriminations, hard words, and at last hard blows. ‘Now, the obvious duty of every patriotic Englishman is to prevent all this rash alarm and unthinking irritability. ‘The press, in particular, is solemnly bound to say nothing in the direction of public alarm 18 not a war: ranted by obvious facts and sound inferences. The bral 74 against the Times is, that the facts are not obvious and inferences arc not sound. After dilating at feet length and with much awkwardness of statement and irrelevancy of matter upon the obiiquity of French policy and the hatred of the French people, our aris combibnacen his of an early invasion on three considerations. First:—That the government has used the pross to stir up the people. Secondly:—That ‘the results are such as an action of the government upon the Hkely to produce.” And th of the French government show symptoms that it does not shrink from stimulating {11 will to this ceuntry.”” ‘This, put by ag od simply that in two ways, tho one se, cretly and the of openty, the government of France is exciting its subjects against England, and that the reaults aj that excitement agree with what might be predicted of ‘om fr a considerations. Let us see what this is worth. Firat, the pressof Fravce i# violently nat Us. Granted. Is it to be wondored at?
