THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—The glorious
sunshine of the last four days has set the whole rural dis-
trict busily at work making and carrying the hay. The
crop, except in the lowland, is abundant. Gloomy prog-
nostics are dissipated by the sun's bright rays, and hig
hopes are entertained that the corn harvest will suffer
little from the effects of the extraordinary rains. The
rapid decrease of 35., which has taken place in the price of
wheat in consequence of two days fine weather, shows that
small credence is given to the rumour that much damage
has been done. Between this town and Martock there are
still hundreds of acres under water, and the grass thus de-
luged must have rotted to a great extent, yet the loss entailed
on the occupiers of moorland will not be so heavy as was
anticipated a week ago. Reduction is the rule in all grain
and cattle markets, and a seasonable continuance of sum-
mer heat will sensibly diminish the high prices at present
prevailing.— Western Counties Iderald.

The GOiTihme,
respecting the aggression of Gene) .ore
Parliament. The following are the leading-tette:
in the present publication :
No. I.—Lord Lyons to Lord J. Russell.—(Received
June 23.)
Washington, June 7, 1860.
I have the honour to enclose copies of a letter and its in-
closure which have been received by the commanding officer
of the Royal Maiines on the island of San Juan from Cap-
tain Pickett, who has been ordered by General Harney to
relieve Captain Hunt, the officer placed in command of th©
United States' detachment on that island by General Scott.
Yam* lordship will perceive that the eiders given by
of the
Br
General Barney to Captain Pickett, and communicated, by
theitsh
General's direction,
tiaorne,,tiontleanoyifieeri points, commend
aenot
the arrangement made by General Scott and accepted by
her Majesty's Government.
Yore lordship will not fail to observe, in particular, that
General Ha- aey directs Captain Pickett to recognise the
civil jurisdiction of Washington territory over San Juane
and that the General goes on to state that he "is satisfied
that any attempt of the British Commander to ignore the
tights of the territory will be followed by deplorable results
out of his power to control."
The copy of these orders reached me yesterday, in a letter
from Rear-Admiral Baynes. I immediately transmitted a
copy to the Urited States' Secretary of State, with a note
begging that the United States' Government would not lose
a moment in taking measures to avert the deplorable ccn-
sequences which would, indeed, be only too liaely to follow
any disturbance of the settlement so wisely effected by
General Scott. Of that note Ido mysel'.' the honour to in-
close a copy.
I have been in personal communication with Genera!
Cass on the subject to-day. He says that he shall send me,
as soon as it can be prepared, a written answer, which will
be completely satisfactory to her Majesty's Government.
T " e meantime, he authorises me to inform your lordship
that the United States Government regret and disavow
Gen. Harney's order.
I have urged the Government of the United States to
send instantly, and in the most expeditious manner, the or-
ders necessary to avert the evils which Gen. Harney's reck-
less conduct has again rendered imminent. I shall, on my
part, make every effort to insure the Admiral's receiving, as
soon as possible, the intelligence of the disavowal by this
Government of Gen. Harney's proceedings.

Inclosure 1 in No. I.—Capt. Pickett to Capt. Bazalgette,
San Juan, April 30, 1860.
Sir,-1 have the honour to inform you that, in obedience
40.Fairders received from the. Head-qu.ar iartment of
O'regon, I have; to-day, relliiid.Capt. tr,,r : assumed
command of this post.
. In accordance with orders emanating from the same
source, I herewith inclose an extract from my letter of in-
structions.

With every desire that the cordial understanding exist-
ing between you and Captain Hunt shall continue to be
maintained between ourselves,—l am, &c.,

Inclosure 2 in No. I.—Assistant Adjutant-General
azalgette, for
Head-quarters, Department of Oregon, Fort Van-
couver Washington
furnishitory, April 10, 1860.
A copy of
the information of Rear-Admiral Baynes. •
Ist. Lieut.-Gen. Scott has left no orders or instructions
with the General commanding to grant a joint military oc-
cupation of San Juan. Island with British troops, neither
has any authority been delegated bythe Government of the
United States to the general to offer or accept such occupa-
tion of that island. The offer made by General Scott, where
in command here, was not accepted by Governor Douglas
at the time, and consequently concluded that transaction.
No arrangement has been made since to renew it within
the knowledge of the General commanding.
2d. The British authorities having submitted the assur-
ance to General Scott that no attempt would be made by
them to dislodge by force United States' troops on San Juan
Island, they were permitted to land troops for similar. pur-
poses to which your command was designed in the original
orders conveyed to you in July last, viz., the protection of
our citizens from Indians, both native and foreign.
In connexion with this service the General commanding
takes occasion to present you to Admiral Baynes and the
officers with whom you will be brought in contact, as an
officer possessing Fs l,thest confidence, that nothing will
be omitted in maintaining a frank and generous intercourse
in all matters coming within your powers, to establish a
practical solution of the present misunderstandings, which
shall prove honourable and satisfactory to all parties, until
a final settlement is attained by the two Governments.
3d. Under the Organic Act of the Congress of the United
States for the establishment of the territorial Government
of Washington, the f-st Legislative Assembly, in 1854,
passed an act including the Island of San Juan as a part of
Whatcom county this act was duly submitted to Congress,
and has not been disapproved; it is, therefore, the law of
the land. You will be obliged, consequently, to acknow-
ledge and respect the civil jurisdiction of Washington ter-
ritory c,rl the discharge of your duties on San Juan ; and the
General commanding is satisfied that any attempt of the
British Commander to ignore this right of the territory will
be followed by deplorable results out of his power to con-
trol.

The General commanding will inform the Governor of
Washington territory that you are directed to communi-
cate with the civil officer on the island in the investigation
of all cases requiring his attention. In the event of any
British interest being involved, you will notify the officer
placed there by Admiral Baynes, to enable him to propose
some arrangement satisfactory to his instructions, as well
as those of the civil officer. Let it be understood, in caso
of disagreement of these parties, that no action is to be
taken until the case has been referred to Admiral Baynes
and the Governor of Washington territory respectively.
These suggestions will be acceptable to the conditions
which govern the territorial authorities of Washington,
while satisfying the obligations of the military service to
their ow a as well as the civil laws of the couitry, and it
is fair to presume they will be adopted by Admiral Baynes,
since the tenor of his instructions to Capt. Bazalgette is
sufficiently liberal to justify the conclusion.

Inclosare 3 in No. I.—Lord Lyons to General Cass.

'Was, June 6 1860.
Sir,—l have just received from hington
Rear-Admiral, Baynes,
commander-in-chief of her Majesty's naval forces in the
Pacific, a copy of the orders issued to the commanding
officer of the United States' troops in San Juan by General
Harney, and communicated by the General's direction to
the officer in command of her Majesty's troops in the same
island. I do myself the honour to inclose a copy of the
orders in question, and I earnestly beg that the United
States' Government «:11 take them immediately into con-
sideration.

It would be superfluous to remark upon the inconsistency
of the whole tenor and spirit of these orders with the satis-
factory arrangement made by General Scott in Nov. last.
But there is one point to which I cannot but call the parti-
cular attention of the Government of the United States.
General Harney directs the officer in command of the
United States' detachment to acknowledge and respect the
civil jurisdiction of Washington territory over the island of
San Juan, and he goes on to say that he "is satisfied that
any attempt of the British Commander to ignore this right
of the territory will be followed by deplorable results out of
his power to control."
I will contrast with this order the following passage taken
from a letter addressed by Gen. Scott to Governor Douglas
on the 9th Nov. last :

" In the same spirit I had earlier determined to instruct
our commanding officer on the island to allow no person
claiming to be a functionary of Washington territory to in-
terfere with any British subject residing or happening to be
on the same island whilst it shall remain in dispute between
our respective Governments."
To this passage I will add an extract from the orders
given by General S cott to the United States' officer com-
manding on San Juan and communicated in the same letter
by General Scott to General Douglas :
" The General-in-Chief wishes it to be remembered that
the sovereignty of the island (San Juan) is still in dispute
between th two Governments, and until definitively settled
by them that British subjects shall have equal rights with
American citizens on the island."
It will no doubt be in your recollection that a copy of '
the letter to General Douglas, which I have quoted, was
appended to the instructions given by General Scott to the
United States' officer on San Juan ; that a copy of it was
transmitted to General Harney " for his information and
guidance" by General Scott in a letter bearing the same
date; and that General Scott at the same time stated to
General Harney that he " wished it to be remembered that
the sovereignty of the island was still in dispute between
the two Governments, and, until definitively settled by
them, that British subjects had equal rights with American
citizens on the island."
It is unnecessary for me to say anything more to !thew
that the recent orders of General Harney are inconsistent
with the arrangement made by General Scott, approved by
the President, and accepted by her Majesty's Government.
Under that arrangement tranquillity had been maintained
at San Juan for six months, and cordial relations had sub-
sisted between the British and American authorities in the
neighbourhood. lam confident that the Government of
the United States will not lose a moment in taking mea-
sures to avert the deplorable consequences which would in-
deed be only too likely to follow any disturbance of the
settlement so justly and wisely effected by General Scott.

I am now instructed to inform you that the arrangement
entered into by General Scott, in the month of October,
1859, in order to prever,t, any collision upon the island of
San Juau between the American and British authorities
pending the negociations between the two Governments,
was strictly in pursuance of a previous arrangement which
was made with Mr. Crampton by the Secretary of State of
the United States in July, 1855, and met the full approval of
this Government. The orders of General Harney, to which
his attention has been calk(' for the first time by the note of
your lerdrship, and which appear to be in violation of the
arm e,-oino.ut of Gen. Scott, have been read, therefore, by the
President, belle with surprise and regret. It is earnestly
hoped that, upon a full explanation of all the circumstances
attending them, it may be irund they were not intended to
bear the construction which seems naturally to belong to
them, and that in any event they will lead to no collision
between the American and British authorities on the islapd•
To prevent this, as far as possible, instructions will bsetat;
