nereiore caut,e us any mortification. The French
Government was not in any way called upon to favour
the solution of the existing differences, but we saw
with pleasure that it did nothing to envenom them. It
was necessary in this case to abstain from rendering

ourselves either ridiculous or odious ; and, by a very
lucky chance, the policy of M. Guizot, which con-
sists in action, was in the present instance per-
fectly in accord with the true nature of events.
Thus we do not blame the treaty. It is
not our intention to lay hold of it as a
pretext for exalting the United States, or humiliating
England. The denouement of this long and irritating
negotiation may, however, serve as a lesson for our
Government, and we have, therefore, a right to deduce
the consequences which appear to us to arise out of it.
England had set up certain pretensions as to vessels
navigating under the American flag. These preten-
sions, winch were equivalent to the right of search,
are evidently abandoned by the treaty. It is merely
declared that each of the contracting parties shall keep .-
on the coast of Africa, for the suppression of the slave-
trade, a squadron of not smaller strength than 80
guns, and that the Commanders of the two squadrons fP
may act in concert. This is the solution which We
pointed out for France, and on which M. Guizot had
the fault of not insisting. The example of the United
States proves that England is capable, whatever some
persons may say to the contrary, of renouncing her
pretensions to naval supremacy whenever she finds
herself in presence of a Government that refuses to
yield to them. What Mr. Webster has done, M.
Guizot ought to have done. The treaty which Lord
Ashburton has just signed is the most formal con-
demnation of that which M. Guizot signed on De
comber 20, 1841."

The proceedings at the Mansion-house on Satttra.)"

speculators in the various valueless bonds. "-",32
official lists to-day are completely clear frn"
any mention of them, and the public have this teed"
ing been engaged in drawing comparisons as to ti`e
difference in value between Spanish and some othe
like stocks, and the shares in the "North-west Gott°l-

nerally in favour of the latter. Few circumstances, hal
occurred of late so likely- to put an end to fraudv

able members of the Foreign Stock Excha'oge, are-
congratulating themselves on the probability that it
may prove the means of weeding the official lists.
