THE LAST DESPATCHES FROM AMERICA . Our own readers will not have been unprepared for the dismissal of Mr . Cbampton ; but the grounds on which he is to be dismissed have not yet been fully stated to the public in either country . It must be confessed that our Government has afforded no assistance to the United States in striving to avoid incidents ^ jwh ich would impart a dist agreeable effe ^ Ko the removal of Mr . i Cbampton frorrTWashington . " We are led , ; however , by the last advices received from Washington , to find some excuse for the con-• . I a .- i
duct of our Government m the supposition that it has never yet been completely informed on the subject . It is not the part of a diplomatist to rake up the tittle-tattle of the country in which he lives , and to swell the despatches which he writes to his Government with gossip or scandal ; but it is his part to state with perfect distinctness every important and authenticated event , and to draw a strong line of demarcation between that which he learns on hearsay and ; that which he knows on his own knowledge , or receives on authority . The qxiestion for our Government to consider is , not whether i Mr . Cushin g has used improper language < respecting this country in letters to district at taoies pnvuic - f 1 - s 3 1 - 1 > , 3 t 3
lawyers , or amner- anu m parties , but whether or not Mr . Cbampton ' has involved himself in endeavours to evade ; the laws of the United States ; and whether < he has so far failed in that attempt as to i break the laws which he has attempted to evade . When Mr . Cbampton consulted with an American lawyer as to the possibility * of evading the Neutrality Act ( the American < Foreign Enlistment Act ) , he showed the < animus with which he acted ; and the reply ; of the lawyer should have shown him the < difficulty of evading the law without breaking it . When Mr . Cbampton gave < Hebtz a general invitation to come to 1 his house , lie showed tho friendly relations < mi wliir » li lift sfcoml with that fifrent of the en- 1 t r j ) 1 r i 3 r 3 b j > i ¦
listment . But in the despatches recently sent to Mr . Dallas , the American Government has furnished more evidence , which shows how Mr . Cbampton was personally implicated to a greater extent than waa known at the timo when Mr . Buchanan received Lord Clarendon ' s apology , and even at a later date . Tho fact is , that tho American Government has treated Mr . Cbampton with great indulgence . He is , as wo havo always stated personally liked ; if ho has got into a scrape tho Americans would havo been glad enough to see him drawn out of it without too strictly convicting him of misconduct ; and if he had been promoted to a higher station , ho would have escaped with credit . Our Government would have been benefited by appointing a botter public servant , and tho Americans would havo been relieved from ;
the necessity of removing a man whose residence among them is positively inconsistent with the maintenance of good relations . There is a general impression on this side that President Pieboe is actuated in these proceedings by a desire to propitiate public opinion among his fellow-citizens , and so to secure his re-election . We have no interest in the re-election of General Piebce , but we believe that in the present instance he is acting on the simple dictate of wha t appears to be necessity , and we have no doubt that titIi s"w % J- !¦» y-v * -l y-w « - » -v r » # - ^» It f ^ Ct I f \ T" £± \ XT T * V » rt ¦» - * ( - *»¦* . -.

LU 1 fcLtJCl TO this countiy are published , our countrymen will see that the responsible Ministers of America could not have taken any other course . So far as the terms of courtesy go , with one painful but exceedingly doubtful exception , it cannot be said that the Americans have been behind our own official representatives . They are now doing their best to show the British Government that the demand for the recal of Mr . Cbampton is suggested by no caprice , but by simple necessity . They accompany that representation with a proposal which originated with Lord Claeendon —a proposal that , if direct negotiations fail , the Central American question shall be referred to arbitration . This , we take i of * _ i _ J ^ «« 4 _ 1 » « J . j-V » « A ~ is sumeient eviaen xuat j \
it , ce me merican Government desires to meet our own half-way . Lord Clabendon has declared his willingness to meet Mr . Mabct , if he could only find a locus standi . When men are really desirous of reconciliation , are eager to arrange any dispute on its true merits , they can never fail to find a ground for standing upon . The newly repeated proposal for arbitration is , indeed , a much larger concession than it appears to be . We are firmly convinced that there is a difference of opinion on the construction of the Bulweb-Ciayton Treaty , not only between American and English statesmen , but also between English statesmen themselves . An Araerican correspondent of the Times , who signs himself " Amebicus , " and who is
: extremely well-informed on the subject , repeats a hint of our own , that the opinion of SirHENBY Bulweb on the true construction of the Bulweb-Clayton Treaty has never yet been brought forward . After repeated challenge , this silence is suspicious . If Sir Henby were prepared to state that in framing the Bulweb-Clayton Treaty , he put upon it the construction now claimed for it by Lord Palmebston and his colleagues , we doubt whether Sir Henktc ' s opinion would be kept so strictly and so perseveringly in the background . We can only infer , therefore , that his opinion agrees with our own . We believe also that we are correct when we say that statesmen high m the confidence of the Queen put the same construction upon the Treaty that we have put upon it . When Lord Clakendon first proposed arbitration tho natural reply was , taut i
, that there is nothing to arbitrate , , nc ' Treaty can bo interpreted according to the » strict rules of grammar and common sense . > Tho American Government lins waived that opinion , and has consented to submit the , construction of the Treaty to the iutorprota-; tion of a third party . Tho Leader is not a Government organ , and wo aro not enabled to state tho course i which our Ministers intend to take . 'I' 10 outward manifestations incline both wnya : i wo might suppose tho reception of tins American oflbr to bo hostile , or wo mig ht , suppose it to bo friendly . Of certain incte , however , wo are distinctly cognizant . \ Vj » r ships havo boon sent from " this country to tho American coast , but tho officers who strode tho deck of that fine frigate tho Arrogant ,
