plain their tardy zeal in the cause of Fer
dinani but ii such transaction had Ia
ken place, we cannot conceive any good
reason for its concealment. The commu-

NOR respecting Cuba is, therefore, proba-
bly, untounded, and for any credit it may
obtain is indebted to the present extraor-
binary policy Of our government. No one
wishes to see the national honor sacrificed
to commercial interests and pursuits but
if the treaty with Spain of 1914 involved
that consequence, why have ministers since
remained silent spectators of those pro-
ceedings on the part Of British subjects

never received the sanction of British
parliament. The late Mr.. Ponsonby, struck
with its impolicy, had indeed given notice
of a motion in the house of commons on the
subject, which his untimely and lamented
death prevented, and It never has been
submitted even to the consideration Of the
house. But admitting its validity, it does
not bind lhiscountry to new model our laws
and institutions 10 suit the interests 4 pur.
poses of Spain. Had we even altered our
laws since the date of that treaty, SO as to
render them more unfavorable to Spain,

There was time, when, for this conduct,
she would have been called to severe ac-

LATE EUROPEAN NEWS.
BY THE SHIP HIesoN FROM coRK.1

In the British House Of Commons, June
18th, Mr. Peale, pursuant to the recommen-
dahon of the select committee on the Bank
affairs, moved for, and obtained leave, to
bring in bill to regulate the transactions
of the Bank, as far as they regarded loans
to government. There were various modes
of accomplishing this ohjeet-by requiring
communications 10 be made to Parliament,
&C.; but he thought the better plan to be,
to prevent any loan from the Bank to 60
vernment without an act of Parliament to
warrant the loan.
On the same day Sir H. Parnell moved
tor select committee to enquire into the
expediency Of regulating and assimilating
the exchanges and currencies of England
and Ireland, having been heretofore, very
frequently affected by other circumstances
than differences in the value Of the circula-
ting medium. The prices in the markets
were consequently affected in very undue
manner ; and with the view Of correcting
such an evil, he moved for the committee.
As Parliament was now engaged in resto-
ring the currency Of this country to its fair
standard, il was advisable to adopt SINH
lar proceeding regarding Ireland.
Alter some discussion and explanation
between Sir H. Parnell and the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, the motion was with
drawn.
Colonel Davis moved that the accounts
previously ordered, Of exports to, and i'm.
ports from Buenos Ayres, be presented
forthwith. Ordered
Astockholm article of 98tb May, states
that notification has been sent to the Gus

spect to the duties both on ships and mer.
chandize, on the same footing as those Of
the most favored nations.

waited this morning on Lord Liverpool, ir
order to point out to him the Ill effects tina
would result to the Manufacturers from thu

that his Majesty's Ministers still intended
to adhere to their original intention on thi
subject; more especially as it was thei
