LONDON, June 19.
We continue to receive American papers, in which we perceive the animosity against this country is still continued. Every instance of detention by a British vessel is published, accompanied with all that virulence and vulgarity of language which so eminently distinguished the American press. In this state of affairs to think of making those concessions to America which the American intercourse bill will make to her, at the expense of the shipping interest of this country, is a policy which we can neither admire nor account for.
