SETTLEMENT OF THE AMEKTCA . lSr DIEEIGULTY . Comston sense * has been so far successful in our differences ; vritli the United . States that the point of danger seems to have been passed . There iSr still a good , deal to be . done , not only for the rectification of past errors ^ but for the prevention of others , into ivhich our present relations render us extremely
likely to fall . Although 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 . Por , as we have always held , when the two countries are really : well informed iis to the facts of any question ,. there cannot be misunderstanding or conflict . Indeed , danger can only exist wliere officers and statesmen , conceal the
facts ,. and hasten < to outrages ot misrepresentations . We do not level this remark at either side . Among Americans will be found men who make statements as erroneous as any : In the course of last week , Viscount Godebioh drew attention to some remarks ascribed to Mr . Ma . son , the "United States Minister at Paris , which remarks were calculated to : lead to roost erroneous conclusions ; Mr ; Mason ' s statement was to the effect that , in the course of some communication
whicli had taken place between the English and French Governments 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 completoidenial of Mr . Fitzgeraold showed that , as he said , " grave misapprehension must have existed , as to the-facts on the part-of Mr . Mason . " So -fa * fronv such an- arrangement having been suggested , Mr . ITitzgebald said ,
" D unrig , tha whole course of those conamunication » . they , werej on our side ; rather' eaoproesions- of regret that' such a scheme should have-been . originated , and still' more that it should ! have been ,. persisted in , and certainly no * ' concessions . were- at , any time made such aa < were described- hj Mirj Mason , nor any adi-nisBion that such a course would be proper . " Unfortunately , misatatem ents . and perversions of facts cannot always bo so directly and . immediately set right ; henco the j jdanger of all diplomatic dealings that are not pundamentftlly simple . and iugenuous .
When the subject of the recent , " outrages ' caino up lately ., our Ministers , and some of ¦ our , journalists ; . tried- to ignore it ; wo , \ xowlev-er , insisted ' , as we- have nlwnys done ; -that , however noble ib might bo- in ua to give up our slaves , to buy up tho slavery of tko / West
Indies , w ^ werenot quite -wise in the manner of doing , it 5 and- ' , the condition , of our West Indian p . os&essioaa is still a painfuL comment on > . our hasfo * andt ouif imperfect measures But whether-we have- acted wisely or not in our own case , we cannot force our sense of right on other nations ^ make our navy . the police of their seasand commercial , marine and carry on searches in their ve&eels . "We have sufficiently described the character of
the recent , outrages . We . have ^ we think shown that tbei "very nature of . our : self-imposed : task is such ' as to lead- to vexatious und even criminal ' excesses of duty and authority © Ten if the service were performed ; with the ' sanction- of the - American and other Crbvernments concerned in the controversy . With satisfaction we see that out views bave been accepted as just , and our conclusions adopted by journals that have riot . sustained tlie 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 lias throughout this recent question ; " IFor 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 country . " It goes on to say : — ¦ ' ¦ . ¦;¦ ¦' ¦ ' ' ¦ ¦ : ' . ¦ ' ¦ ¦ " : ' . ' . ' . :: - . : ' . ¦
" Irresponsible trdflers may denounce the cowardice of considering either legal right or national expediency ¦ when there is an opportunity of appealing to the prejudices which have long been connected with the Anti-Slavery crusade : but in the presence of a grave danger all . who have the means of influencing the policy of the country are hound to inquire whether the course "which has been pursued is prudent , and especially whether it is justified by the principles of international lawi" * * * "The vindication of that Slave Trade policy -which has long been condemned by all thoughtful politicians is , in fact , wholly irrelevant * to the present question . The
dangerous irritation which , prevails throughout the Union arises from-ai belief : that theEnglishcruisers 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 ofithe American flag . If there is a particle etftruth in the repeated complaints which have been brought forward , the English' cruisers must , under some unaccountable misapprehension , have attempted to exercise a superintendence over American vessels , and such a pretension is as untenable as if ; if were a claim to land a file
of soldiers for the purpose of- controlling the Irish immigrants on ithe < quays of New * York ;" And it thus concludes its arguments : — "No English diplomatist would pretend 1 hat the American' statute- which condemns tlie slave trade as piratical can have- the effect of bringing , the crime , as piracy , under the jurisdiction of foreign authorities . Tho protests against the right of search during time of peace aro directed against a claim , which has been abandoned since the conclusion of the treaty of 1842 , and the English Government can hardly be said to yield to menace pretensions which , have- never been pat forward . "
A further , and perliapj * . stronger , proof of the ' healthful change of feeling which ia shown in the « dis < sussion of this- question , isi given by the organ of stout anti-slavery views , the Daily News . After stating : the case of the French vessel Le . Louie , which ' was captured hy an- English-vessel of war on the-const of Africa , after resisting the assumed right of the British commander to visit and search ,
the Daily JHfews says : — " Sh © : [ Xo LouisTJ . was , carried into Sierra I > eono and condemned . On appeal to one Court o £ Admiralty , then presided , over by , Lord , Stowell , tbo sentence w « 8 T 0-vorsedi and- it-vas judici « lly ,. dooided that ' tho right of visitation and search' on tl ) olng ) i 6 £ ui 8 > did not exist in time of neaoo .

¦ ¦• THE CAGMAB * : CASE . ifte ' official correspondence with Naples , on the subject of the Cagliarl and the two English engineers , was published , yesterday . In Xbrd Malmesbury ' Si-ultimatttm ;( May ; 2 oth ) , we read : — "Tlare - . nad the honour ofstating . to your Excellency" fCbmmeiidatore Carafa ] , in toy previous note , the-amount of the indemnity which her Majesty ' s Goyernnrent" dematids ; of the Neapolitan Government for thetvro English engineers ,, and I explained to youths reasons and the motives why , riy Government thinks . that tHe' Neapolitan GoTernment vrill see fit to change tlie decision expressed in your Excellency ' s note of . tho Gttitmt . " . ^ t should the * Neapolitan Government persist altogetneT'in its refusal to make the reparation required , her Majesty ' s Government , strong , in the conviction of its right , vrould be fully justified in treating the matter seriously , and in obtaining bj * force the accomplishment of its demand . It ' might immediately adopt some measures , snch 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 precedents .
