SUMMARY

The state Il things on the continent.
has produced great sensation in Eng.
land The ministry have submitted to
parliament the whole budget of pepoc;a.
ton between Great Britain and France nm
the dithcuItIes between the latter nation
and Spain. 1t has been a great object
with the French government to ascertain
what course Great Britain would pursue
IN case OF actual hoslilities between
France and Spain for the alledged causes
Great Britain has uniFormerlE answered
TO these inquiries, that other powers had
no right to interfere in the internal affairs
OF Spain-that "lhe improvement, of the
new Spanish system, should accord.
ing to the laws Of nations, be left
to Spain itself"-and the British add
that they "cannot see any reasonable an
pfehensions to France from the state IF
ahalrs IN SPain"-and as one object of
the correspondence on the part of france
was TO ascertain what moral aid Great
britain would afford the former in case
OF actual hostilities, they should decline
the promise Of moral which we nre.
sumo means fecuntary aid, and still more
strongly active cooperation.

mysterious change! Was there apy q.

answer is plain, he left his party because
they could no longer confer Offices of no.

the life OF MIR. A. the people are DESTROYS
OF information, they do not want mere
assertion
When, therefore, a northern man is
brought forward, whom the people can
rely on,he will be supported by the south;
but II must be one, in whom they can
1 place the most unlimited confidence
Mr.. a. Is not the man; for in his own
strong ho'd ("the universal yankee ma.

unite with the north, in supporting this
candidate, it cannot, we have already toe
many great men on the carpet, to even
glance at MIR. A. We are not yet diven
to the dire necessity Of taking this man,
with all these imperfections upon his
head, because,as some Of their editors
say, it is high time we should have pre-
sident from the north you have already

put an end to it, by sacrificing our rights
'hatwe may give them presidents for the
same length of time. They mus,, there

a candidate whose principles are more in
unison with those of the people.
Let US then look up to the one who is,
emphatically speaking, the man of the
people; let us only respect him whose
whole life of moral and political conduct
lDclines usto that respest; let us, if we
wish TO revive the glorious administration

Of the congress ef Verona offered It's
mediation TO France, but il was declined
on the ground that the question was con-
sidered by the allied pow ers not merely
as French, but European.
In dispatch from Mr.. Canning TO
Viscount Marcellus-s.That the British
government we'll foresaw the public
danger to the peace Of Europe from the
collision between France and Spain-and
that the same government could notli like
wise foresee that similar, and perhaps
greater danger, might arise from an in
temperate and injudicious interference IN
the affairs Of Spain that the spirit ofrev-
olution hitherto confined within the Pyr-
ennees, might extend into Europe in
general, and find such alimcnl as might
renew the general wars of the French
revolutionary era"
In answer TO dispatch from vi.count
de Chatcaubriapd, in which he re>asserts
the dangers to France and Europe from
the Spanish revolution, and the disposition
Of France 10 remain in peace If SpaiDwill
modify her constitution according 10 a
proposal formerly made, Mr.. Canning
replies, tina, the British government dis
claims for itself, and denies the right in
other powers, OF requiring any changes
in the Institutions Of independent states,
u der the thrca, Of hostilities in case Of
refusal.
In answer TO all negotiations on the
subject, Spain gives one uniform answer,
viz. that it is inconsistent with the honor
OF the Spanish government to admit the
Intervention of foreigners in her internal
eoncerns-and that she can listen to no
proposals for re- consideriDg her institu-
lions while France menaces her with hos
tiliiies.
Mr.. Canning finally declares, that the
British government cannot allow Of any
attempt on the part of France to sppro-
pirate to herself any Of the Spanish A.
lean islands or provinces.
The whole correspondence closes with
declaration of neutrality OH the part of

In 1898, complaints were made TO the
American government, that French ships
were allowed to fit out and arm in A.
merlcan ports, for the purpose of attack
ING BRITISH vessels, in direct opposition
TO the laws ct neutrality. Immediately
upon this representation, the American
government held, that such fittinp OH,
was contrary to the laws of neutrality.
and orders were issued prohibiting the
arming OF any French vessels in Ameri.
can ports. AT New York French yes-
sci hitting out was seized, delivered over
TO the tribunals, and condemned. Upon
that occasion the American government
held, that such fitting out of French
ships IN American ports, for the purpose
OF cruising against English vessels, was
"incompa'is!e with the sovereignty Of
the United States, and tended TO inter.
rupt the peace, and good understanding
