ofNew Brunswick which lies between khe Penob-
scot and the ST. Lawrence, and have there, with

The objec, of the Foreign Secretary's sojourn
IN this capital has given rise to numerous conjec-

Ambassador has brought him; and yet if he has
had any ulierior views, he has been allowed little
or no opportunity for bringing them to point
