good Men to believe that Mr. Cuitrrox has
already reached Toronto. But, Mr. CIatPION dis-

and suspend all diplomatic; intercourse with the
Cabinet of Washington P That may, we think,
be doubted. The ground on which Mr. CRAMP.

se/Aim in the recruitment question have rendered
his further regains, at Washington M anaceeptable"
to the United States Government. Now, diploma-
tically, they have a perfect right to tomes and to
act on that opinion. To act on it must neesearily
give offence to the Government of England ; bat reta-
liation dose not as neomearily or es logically follow
offices; and so, notwithstanding Mr. Mum is
peaking up his portmanteau, we hope the British
Cabinet will think twice before they send him away.
