Vaughan was actually in possession of this inuc ton

Government bt fare the result discussion was ascer-
iainet After that result (woly xpscted in this coun
ry any such communication would have been not only
useless, but night; perhaps have been considered as an
improper appeal against the formal decision OF the Amer
lean Legislature.
That Mr. Vaughan should afterwards have been an
oed to enter into discussion of the Provisions of the
Act of 1925 so late October last surprising when
is considered that Mr.. Vaughan, ,eiy after the
close of the session Congress, to
the intention OF is Majes,ys Government pass the Or

american Legslaturc) by which the or the act of

Mr. Gallatu accounts for the reflections of the reso,,op
proposed to the American Legislature, by the
w"e' Nc says the Govenn of the U. States ined
INA" tile leSoi'ation on the sube of the Commercial
tecourse between the e. States the British West In
dla Colonies would be renewed.
The undersigned is a<loss to understand ON wha,
ground 1t was assumed at Washington, that there would
&c, at all times undated disposition the mar, of the
government to make the trade of its West India
Colonies the subject of diplomatic arrangement.
The circumstances Of the entirely chanscd
Repeated negotiation had failed produce any mate
rial approxina ton Of opinions upon that subject
Inc last attempt adjustment had made viii,
conviction on both sides, that there be-
tween them an unconGuera6e difference of principles: nd
that by that difference, rather than bv nnv dcc
ded Observation-Disclosures of interests, ar
arrangement was rendered hopeless.
The nature of;hat difference has been sufficiently dis
csset lies in the determination United States n
dispute, aud in that Of Great Britain to maintain the es
'aoiShed distinction between general and coloniuf trade
Great btitan had therefore, obvious motive for do
aug CORRESPONDENCE whatever she might think right to do
in reia xaon OF her connia SYSTEM her by the ins,r
mentality of her own Legislature than by compact with
state with which she sa greed in opinion as 10 the min
trade ntytHn l-,
oeen impossible TO construct preamble to treaty. on
mat subject in the enunciaons of which two con,rac-
ting parties should have concurred
But there ye, another avoiding further
quotations upon the subject.
Hitherto, when the trade with the British West India
Colonies had been opened NJ all had opened chiefly
though not exclusively, to the United States
70 II" other country had been opened by specific and
positive convention.
But II time had now arrived when from, mo,vcs or nor,
erai poicy Great Britain thought it advisable to allow
access to her colonies to all foreign powers without excep
ton, on conditions rendered alike to all.
Such n'scriminate opening could only be effected bv
some process common to all those who permitted or
invited to take advantage of it; mpartialty was thus
tanned towards all parties the power of control
her owu colonies at the time retained in the
| hands OF the mother country.
The undersigned believes that he has now touched on
every topic iii the last addressed to him bv Mr. al
latin, which he had had occasion TO adyer, in for,
mer stages OF their correspondence He will allow him
self be drawn aga into discussion of tonics ,r,d
more than sufficiently debated.
The undesi gned il is unnecessarv for hin, -
concluding this note, to return Mr. aatins assurances
of the friendly disposition of United States of America
assurances equally sincere that there most cordial
desire, on the part of Great Britain cultivate the friend
ship of the L. States
The ties of common origin, laws and LANGUAGE must
ways form strong bonds of national alliance between them
Their respective interests well understood harmonic To-
.ether as much as their feelings

| The question of the greatest moment in England the
appointment OF successor TO Lord Liverpool rema ms
undecided Mr. Canning is the man indicated by
popular nIoD but the arstocracy of EppIand tho
whole tory party-the high church partyethe T ord
Chancellor, and perhaps the monarch himself are a.
verse to his becoming the Premier. Lord LverpooI
was the representative in the ministry of tho
Protestant and Ultra royal party; and that party pau
rally wishing 10 retain the ascendency which by bav
ing one of their adherents Premier of ENGLAND s
assured TO it, insists upon designating the sort of nd
vidual-if not the very individual whom the kim
must select With this view the Duke of Ru,IsrS
had sought an interview with his sovereign in order
TO protest IN his own name, in those of the On Ike of
Beaufort and Newcastle, and of Lord Lonsdale-aIl
possessing Immense parliamentary influence-and of
the Tory party OF England, against the selection of
MIR. Canning. Meanwhile this gentleman pursres his
own course-reyiDg upon his acknowledged Abilities
upon his popularity with the patton, and upon The
difficulty among bis opponents OF furnishing any tbipo
like an able competitor against him for the high Office
How the matter will end cannot be foreseen The
latest dates from London, by way of Paris speak of
Mr.. CaonIng's appointment ceTtan-but This renort
is coupled with another, that MIR. Frederick Robinson

This appears TO us altogether impossible for tho
Chancellor Of the Exchcquer, Mr. Robinson ia tho
least able man of the present Cabnet-and The TO-
