I think Brian that the Cornish have always considered themselves to be an independent country (much like Yorkshire ) and so calling us 'the English' isn't quite so strange as it may at first seem.
Although there are some Cornish people who think that Cornwall should be an independent country I believe the majority accept, as I do, that Cornwall is a county of, and therefore part of, England. However what the majority of the Cornish do not accept is that they are English. Therefore we refer to those who are from England as the English, just as we refer to the Irish, Scottish and Welsh.
