The Comment dL Triu,rvirate. arrival OF Mr.
MLane, our new Minister to England, in this city is
announced in the morning paprrs AS Mr.. Van
buren, left Baltimore 20 see Mr.. MI,ane on SATURDAY,
morning, he must have reached Wilmington early
in the afternoon, mud probably remained with the
Minister over Sunday. We perceive by the Courier
and Enquirer, that MIR. Combrelcng could not have
been present AZ this important interview; and although
the fact recently stated by US, that MIR. e. had been
invited 70 Wilmington, to join in the consultations
respecting the projected negotiation, s not directly
denied by tic Courier, yet the phrDscoogy of its,
article Is intended 10 have that effect When we
Dssert grave matters Of fact, we mean what we say
We therefore repeat distinctly what " q said before
that Mr.. Cambrolong was invited 10 Wilmington 10
meet Mr. van Burcn. IN manner and form, snbstan-
italy. as we statcd before. The Courier w;ll act
wisely to consult Mr.. G. before IL ventures mon
denial Of the fact. But the seat Of the consultation
meg have been transferred from Wilmington to this
city.
