BY compressed view of the Client Dis
patches, it appears. that the British Cabinet
arc pursuing the same policy that dictated
the tedious correspondence between Lord
Maimspury and Citizen Delacroix, at Lisle,
III Flanders which was in that case as in
the present, marked with Tie same spirit of
msincerty. In their Commissioners Note
OF the 21-t October, arc the following wo,ds
" In regard to other boundaries, the Ameri-
can Pienlpotentiar1eS in their note IF August
~ appeared IN Some measure t. object to
the proposition then made by the u.t!ers;pn-
ed as not being on the basis of mi Eossiielis.

convenience may be found to REQUIRE" In
answer to this condition, our ministers re-
ply, oct. "a, that 90 amongst the Ccne raj OBJ

Note OF August "a, made on the propositions
then brought forward on the part Of the Brit
Ism Government, they remarked that those
propositions were founded neither on the bo
SIS OF I'm hosS'detis, nor that of status ante
oeHUni e: but so far were they from suggesting
the IN foSSidetts as the basis ON which they
were disposed to treat, that in the same note
they expressly stated they had been instruct

ooth parties restoring whatever territory thew
might have taken that they had no author

states, and TO no stipulations to that effect

sioners and 1t is 60 be presumed that their
communication TO hmm under date of 25th Oc-
tooer' embraced their views of this note, as
DelnS merged III that of the Dist October. in
which they observe, " But you will perceive
that our request for the exchange of !. project

their last note the British Observation-Disclosures
have advanced q demand not only new &, in
admissible, but totally incompatible with their
previous declarations that G. Britain had no
view In this negotiation to any acquisition of
territory
Under this view ofthe subicc-, what conf

by the old Butte party (of which thew are the
shoots,) IN the expectation OF some interior
events turning in their favor, either in a DE-

It's confirmed that Ferdinand the I'M has
