In the last-named paper , the Engljah . Koreigsn Minister states that he cannot see
in the documents forwarded by the American -Governmaai « a ^ ijeasons for discrediting the assurances of Mr . CjoajWbptq > jj , and . the consuls . On the contrary , he thinks t h * I * rWdent must have been " misled by erroneous in & raxatipa , and by the testimony of witnesses undesexvmg o £ belief .

A Na.Tal War. It Was A Greek Saying, Tha...
A NA . TAL WAR . It was a Greek saying , that we injure our enemies because it is pleasant , and our friends because it is easy . There are persons who imagine that it would be easy to injure America , and who are , half unconsciously , inclined to a war that would measure the limited forees of the Union against the incomparably superior armaments of Great Britain . " We do not care at present to ascertain how far the triumphant ; parallel might be carried - but there are some considerations connected with the recent policy of England , which ought not to be kept out of view when the idea of a naval war is pr & sent in many minds . By the joint declaration of England , France ^ Kussia , Austria , Prussia , Turkey , and Sardinia , at Paris , privateering is abolished , the neutral flag is allowed to cover enemy ' s goods , the privilege of establishing paper blockades is surrendered . These points are familiar to the public . But lias the public familiarized itself with the inevitable influence of such ehaaages upon th & next naval war in which . England may find herself engaged ? The American Government adheres to the
principle that free ships make free goods , that neutral goods are free in enemy ' s vessels , and that blockades to be binding must be effective ; but in the event of war , the whole advantage of these provisions would be on the side o £ America , while America evinces nodisposition to surrender the right of privateering . . Since the foundation of tho Union the
American Government have always lrwuntained and sought to incorporate in the public law of nations the principle that the neutral flag covers the cargo , and that blockades to be binding must bo effective . The disagreement of Great Britain and the United States on these questionsled mainly to tho war of 1812 . American ahipa had been confiscated for carrying produce to French ports , or Brench property to neutral
ports . Blockadea had been established over many degi-ees of latitude , with scarcely a ship or a gun to enforce them , aud vessels venturing within the interdicted limits were liable to seizure ; the right of search waa enforced to an extent that exasperated tho commercial classes in America , Great Britain did not , upon tho close of the war , s pecifically rebut the United
noimce her pretensions ; States invariably denied and resisted thorn . Great Britain , in . fuct , adhered inflexibly to her old maritime lawa , in spito oi many formidable efforts on the part of tho continental powers to relax nnd set thorn aalde . She had oneo during the lnat century , yy the quadruple treaty with Holland , France ,
