The Continent. An Armistice Has Been Con...
THE CONTINENT . An armistice has been concluded between the Candiote insurgents and the TurMsh authorities , and the Christians have agreed to entrust their Interests to commissioners , who have been appointed , to examine their grievances . v " Sardinia has claimed from Naples , " says the Morning St ^ r : © f to-day , " an indemnity for dts subjects who were-imprisoned at Naples in consequence of the capture of ithe Cagli & ri , and who bave now been liberated . > She likewise -insists upon the proprietors of the iGagliari
being indemnified . The King of Uaples has declared that he -yielded : only to force , being unable to resist the poWflTiof 'England ; most probably ,, therefore , he will-not be- found < go yielding in the case of Sardinia . It is said that lie has made a counter demand of indemnification for the damage done by the Cagliari . at Ponza , as well as on the cQaat . Thus this disagreeable a flair still clo . udsrthe . horjz . on of . Italy .: In addition , it is stated from Paris that the ^ French Government aa yet sees no reason ; for resuming diplomatic relations with Naples ;"
The Cagi/Iari Case. The Official Corresp...
THE CAGI / IARI CASE . The official correspondence with ' Naples , on the subject of the Cagliari and the two English engineers , was published -yesterday . In Lord Malmes-Bury 5 s ' : . ultimatum ( May 23 th ) , we read : — - "' I have had . the-honour df stating to your Excellency ¦ £ Commeniaatore ; Carafa ] , in my previous note , the amount of the'indernnity which her Majesty ' s Government demands of the . Neapolitan Government fo . r the two-English engineers , and I explained to you the reasons and the motives why my Government thinks that the Neapolitan Government-will see fit , to change the decision expressed in youc Ex-cellency ' s . note of the Gthinst .
"But should the'Neapolitan Government persist altogether in'its refusal to make the reparation . Tetjuired , her 'Majesty ' s Government , stTong in the conviction of ita Tight , would be fully justified in treating the matter seriously , and in obtaining by force the accomplishment of its demand . It might immediately adopt some measures , such as decrees of any embargo , or reprisals , which would secure the recovery of the indemnity demanded , and which would , moreover , bo entirely in accordance with iprecedents .
. '" flout her 'Majestys' Government is desirous of giving to all civilized nations an evident proof of its modera - tion and of its constant adhesion to the principles consecrated 'by the protocol of the Conferences of Paris of the 14 th of April , 1 fr 66 , to which . the Neapolitan Government itself gave its , adhesion in the month of June following : ' Sweden is therefore -suggested as a mediating power , "yhe Conimentlatorje Qarafa ,, in his reply intimating the Bubmission of the King pf Naples eaye : — - . . . *¦ ¦»

Settlement Of The Amertcan Bifeiculty. C...
SETTLEMENT OF THE AMERtCAN BIFEICULTY . Common sense has been so far successfTiL in our differences with the TTniteji States that the point of danger seems to have ' been passed . There is still a good deal to be done , not only for the rectification of past eirors , but for itlie prevention of others , into "which our present relations render us extremely
likely to fall . Althougli the facts of the case at present in dispute are only becoming . gradually understood , they are becoming understood , and , common-sense and common justice will have fair play . For , as we have always held , when the two countries are really weir informed as to the facts of any question , there cannot be misunderstanding or conflict . Indeed , danger can only exist where officers and statesmen , conceal the
facts , and hasten to outrages or misrepresentations . "VVe do not level this remark at either side . Among Americans will be fouftdmen who make'Statements as erroneous as any . In the course of last week , Viscount G-oderich drew attention to some remarks ascribed to Mr . Mas ok , tlie "United States Minister . at Paris , which remarks were calculated to lead to moat erroneous conclusions .
Mr . Mason's statement was to the effect that , in the course of some communication which had taken place between the English and French Grovernments on . the subject of the French scheme of " free emigration ;* ' her Majesty's Government " had informed Count "Waiewski that they would not obect to the French scheme for that purpose , while the wants of the British colonies were being supplied by the Coolie-trade . " The full and complete . denial of Mr . rJCEZCKEE ^ D showed tliat ,
as he said , " grave misapprehension must have existed as tto the 'facts on the pact of Mr . Masot * . " So , far fvom . suqh , au arrangement having been suggested , Mr . 3 ? itzgeral ]> said , "X | iu ? ing . the whole couxae > of those conimuni oaliioDtB , t ? hey wsere , on iour side , rather >&& pnessions d ' regret that Buch a scheme Bhoulfl haye 1 ) eQn originated , and still more that it should have been persisted ii : q , and certainly no coocessioBB ( w . ere , at any time made ; such as . were -desoribed by Mr . MJfcSOH , nor any admission
that such a course would be proper : " Unfortunately , miastafcements and perversions of facts cannot always bo so directly and immediately set right ; hence the danger of all di plomatic dealings that are not ¦ fundamentally simple and ingenuous . Wheuthe subject of the recent " outrages " came up lately , our Ministers , and some of iour ijourualisbe ,, tr ied ( to ignore it -, \ v © , how--ever , insisted , as we linvo always done , tihirt , 'however ndble it n ^ g ht bo in us to give up oiir slaves , , to buy up the slavery of the We , st
Indies , we - were not . quite wisein the -manner of . Hfoing . it j aufl tie condifeionof our "West Iindian , pos « essiojis is . etill . a painful comment on our thaate and our imperfect measures But whether * we have acted wisely or not in our own qase , we cannot force our sense of right on other nations , . make , o , wi « navy the police of tiieir seas and commercial marine and carry on searches in their vessels . "We have sufficiently described the character of the recent outrages . We have , we think shown tha . fc the very-nature -of our self-imposed-task is such « s'to lead to vexatious and even criminal excesses of duty and authority even if . the service were performed with the * sanction of . the American and other Qoveunments . concerned in the controversy . With satisfaction we see that our viaws have been accepted as just , and our conclusions adopted fey journals that have . not sustained the-same opinions quite so long . It is a strong proof that English feeling has at last taken . a healthy course , trusting to facts instead of fancies , when the Times comes out as it has throughout this recent question . " Ear states , as for ^ private men , " it says , in a late article , " the first rule of honour is to be in the right , and ' . rather to suffer than to do . a wrong , ' nor is it possible in the conduct of affairs to separate the cause of the public safety from the vindication of the credit of the countryi" It goes on to say :: — ¦ -: ¦ - ; . / , : ' : " ¦¦ ¦ ; ¦ ¦ ' ' ' ' ¦ ¦ y ' 1 - ' , " . ;\; ' - ; . . .. . . : - "Irresponsible triflera may : denounce the cowardice of considering either legal right or national ^ expediency when there is an opportunity of appealing ito the prejudices whichhave long been . ^ onnectedswith tho Anti-Slavery crUsade : but in the presence of . a grave dangev all who have the means of influencing the policy of the country are bound to ritjquire whether the course whicli has been pursued is prudent , and * especially . whether it is justified by the principles of internationalylaw . " * * ' *¦ " The vindication of tliat Slave Trade : policy whicli has long been condemned lby , all thoughtful politicians is , in fact , wholly irrelevant to the present question . The dangerous > irritation ,-wlnch prevails throughout the Unionatises from a belief that the English-cruisers have been . guilty . of . a gross violation of the freedom of the seas , and the wildest . philanthropist will scarcely venture to maintain . that the duty of enforcing the Spanish treaties carries with it the right of violating the immunity of the American flag . If there is a particle of truth in the repeated complaints which have been brought forward , . the English oruisers must , under some miaccountablomisapprehension , have attempted to exercise a superintendence ovor American vessels , and auch a prctension is as untenable as if if were a claim to land a file of soldiers for the purpose of controlling the Irish iinmigrantaon tho quays of : New iYork . " And it thus concludes ifcs arguments : — " No English diplomatist would pretend that tlie American statute which condemns the slave trade as piratical can have tlie effeot of bringing tlie crime , as piracy , under the jurisdiction of foreign authorities . . The protests against tlie right of search during time of peace are directed against a claim which has been abandoned since the conclusion of , the treaty of 184 . 2 , and the English Government can hardly be said to yield , to menace pretensions which have never been put forward . " A . further , and perhaps . stronger , proof of the healthful change of feeling which is shown in the discussion of this question , is given by the organ of stout anti-slavery views , the Daily Mews .. After . stating the case of the French vossel I * p Louis , which . wflscaptuT . ed by an English < veseel-otf vrav on the coast of Africa , prt ' ter resisting -the aspnned right of the British commander to visit and search , the JD . aily JSTcws says : — "She [ Le LouisJ was carried into Sierra Leone and ( condemned . iOn mppeul ; to our Court iof Admiralty , ihon preaidc 4 avor by I * wrd , Stowcll , tl > e -sentence was ieyeraetl , , and it . was judicially decided tb « t ' tho right ° < - "visitation and tgoaroh on the Jiigh tBoaauid -not exist in , time of peace .
