There Can Bo No Doubt Now That The Ameri...
There can bo no doubt now that the American Fisheries question is settled , and that all risk of collision between the naval forces of the two countries has passed away . We cannot hide the fact that our government have not done what they first intended to do , and that American statesmen have been too prompt to bully . How the colonists will like being protected after the fashion of giving up all that was claimed
by them , and disputed by the Yankees , we must leave them to say ; and we must also leave it to Ministers to explain " how it was that a ship of the line was sent out to ¦ protect the waters within three miles of the shore , if that was all thev meant to protect . The truth is , the Derby cabinet meant to carry matters with a high hand-on . the other side of the
Atlantic , but have stopped short quite a ' s much from fear of public opinion at home , as of the warlike clap-traps of Mr . Webster , or the valorous sayings of other orators . President Fillmore is reported to have said that the time had gone by for settling differences between England and America by war . That is the verdict of common sense on both sides the
Atlautic , and the thoughtful of the two countries must not allow officious blundering , or eloquent ambition to set us by the
ears . . - * . A possible dispute about the Lobos guano Islands , claimed by Peru , is said by the go-a-head politicians to involve the chance of a war . - Mr . Webster , it would appear , has been committing himself to an opinion , rather loosely expressed it is true , that these Islands , which are now of great commercial
value , do not belong to the Peruvian government . The only reason he gives for Ms belief is his ignorance of how Peruvian rights were established . It is , however , well known that these Islands formed part of the ancient South American dominions of the Spanish crown , and were included in old maps of the territory . Really , if Mr . Webster plays many more such pranks as these . Monarchy will not have a monopoly of rash
and incapable Secretaries of State . It is difficult at first sight to conceive how an American dispute with Peru , as to the sovereignty of the Lobos Islands , could be supposed to involve England . The fertile brains of some of our transatlantic friends , however , struck out the way . England , they say , has acknowledged the title of Peru to those guado-covered rocks , and has an interest in defending
it , because by the revenues derived therefrom the Peruvian government is able to pay its English creditors . We need not tell Englishmen that this is simply absurd . England would gain quite as much by the guano trade being set free , as by Penman solvency ; and if any government were mad enough , the people are too wise to allow war to grow out of such a cause . It will be more for the credit of powerful
America to respect the national rights of defenceless Peru ; but whether or not , that is not a quarrel in which English blood may be shed . In France , Addresses from the Councils Generals come pouring in , filled with the most fulsome flattery of Napoleon the Little . According to these documents , the assassin of the 2 nd of December is " the man of providence , " " the saviour of his
country , " " the preserver of society , " and " the elect of God and the people . " In almost all there is a desire expressed that in order to preserve order the government should be consolidated in the person of the anointed of the Deity , and the chosen of the people . Li some instances , but those are few , he ; i j . - , i ± „ „ f . o , iTvm -flm TiYmorin . l rbVnitv . to deis to the Imperial dignityto
deexpressly requested assume , clare it hereditary in his family , and to assume the title of Kapoleon the 2 nd . The precise value , however , of these disgraceful addresses , as expressions of the real sentiments of the bodies from which they emanate is very uncertain . One fact alone lets in a world of doubt . The journals arc
forbidden to publish the discussions of the Councils ,, except as authorised by their Presidents . What a commentary on the strength of a government which does not let anything but praise appear . A curious instance of this is given in one of the London papers . The correspondent of a Belgian journal was sent for to the Ministry of Police , in order to receive instructions as to his behaviour . He promised to write nothing but bare facts . The answer was that that was not what was wanted . He was not asked for silence , but for praise !

The best news from the Sister isle is that the potato and corn crops have .. not suffered so much .-as was expected ., There is yet hope for the food of the . people . V TheSigMile Bridge Jury has returned the astouhdmgBverdicfr ofi Sllful Murder acainst Mr . Delmeg ' e , J . P ., W ' " ^ nt ^ 6 | l [ e § tlraife 31 st Regiment . Twelve of the jury concurred in that Wdf ing , six dissented , but were willing to bring in a verdict of manslaughter . The Coroner issued his warrants , and ' all the accused are in goal . Great numbers of people assembled : to
witness the incarceration of Mr . Delmege , and greeted him with groans and cries of " High hanging , to . the . murderer . ' . ' Application will be made to the Court of Queen ' s Bench'for bail ; the trials will be taken in another part of the country , and if the prisoners are not acquitted they will be ' pardoh ' ed . There is a rumour that the authorities intend to put -the law in operation against Fathers Burke and Clime , who are said to have taken a prominent part in the fatal affair , and who were active at the Inquest . Apropos of Father Clune , it
will be recollected that he shewed a hat with a hole rn ' it , through which he asserted a bullet to have passed . It is said that the hole is about an inch above tile hat-band , and that the orifice is only on one side . The inference is , either that Father Clune has been favoured by being made . the subject , of a miracle , and carries the ball about in his-head without ^ in ^ convenience , or that Ids word cannot be taken . Which horn of the dilemma wiil be pitched upon , we .. , are . unable to predict . \ !' .: ¦' . r
The week has not been fertile in English intelligence . It is a dull time of the year , rendered doubly dull by the present state of parties . People are in too l ] igli ; a . state ; of expectation te be very active . It is not likely we shall , know much more about parliamentary movements till October is going out , and until then some will amuse themselves , some > willtry thier hands at making new combinations and / strengthening old ones , and some will push trade . . ' > — ..- ;¦ ¦ ' . '
Business is better , and that will help to . vkeep ; the money worshippers quiet . Consols have been' aliov | ej ; par , ' . and are still hanging thereabouts , a fact that will . ' excite > men on 'Change . Prompted by this , the Times has givers aglimpse of what is " looming in the future . " The Chancellor of the Exchequer is in his closet concocting his budget } , and ^ linking of the possibility of reducing the interest -oriftheRational Debt a half per cent . That would take off 'lour jot ; ifive
millions of taxation at one swoop . Think of that ; Finahq iaJ Beformers . Weep Whigs , that you were not ' in office when such a prospect opened , Ko doubt strenuous efforts will ? b | made to keep Consols below par , but with the . hoards in . "the Bank coffers , the increasing difficulty of finding - profitable investments , and the constant influx of the precious metajs , added to the fact that the Corn crop will be an , ayei ^ , ; arid we do not see how prices are to be diminished , dr ^ Jp ^ ard tendency restrained . ire ? - .-::.-co '
