The Journal of Commerce Says
LATEST FROM EUROPE
By the packet ship Napolean Capt Smith, we
have received Liverpool papers To Aug. 9Th, and
London to the evening of the 25h containing Paris
telhgence to the American reader, is the Opening
of the West India Ports commerce. Though
the papers entirely silent concerning It, and
though the fact was known to very few persons in
Englpnd, IN possession of such evidence as
puts the question beyond all manner of doubt
bearer of dispatches has arrived in the Napolean,
vino proceeds inmtedd telv to Washington 10 commu
nicate the news officially to the American govern
ment In the meantime it gives great pleasure
to be able TO lay before readers the following let
ter from very intelligent source, addressed the
Editors of the Journal Of Commerce:
LIVERPOOL, Oath Aug 1880
our minister, to his great credit has succeeded in
aiming the consent OF this government open the
intercourse between the United States and the Bril-
tish West India Colonies and it probable that your
President will in few days after this reaches
you, issue the proclamation contemplated in his
Message last session. Message which, you may
remember, | approved of at the time, because it
showed n disposition yoHr side to remove every
subject of difference between the two countries.
The government of this country has dipated
equal good feeling in meeting this disposition and
Mr.. McLane deserves the gratitude of the Amer
can nation for his unweared labor and the persever
ing skill and intelligence which he has put forth in
attaining this result. 1t is TO be hoped that your
Congress will manifest proper of his services,
and deem the occasion fitting for determl!l-
ing whether American mins or al the most e7l-
pensve court in Europe, has not q right to claim
from the Overlooking treasury of his nation such
pecunary support the station of gentleman and
minister lndispensably requires.
Mr.. McLane must feel much indebted TO this Enp
iisbmaD. Congress will desire to sec the Treaty at
least. before they pay for its negotiation.
For the rest-it will be seen that Charles X is
once more established in England--that Pognac
has been arrested and is in prson--every thing go
ing well in France &c. &c.
GJ''Fhe Charter elections in Philadelphia contested
on political grounds, show the probability of the sue
cess Of COL Watmough for Congress in the northern
liberties. Col w distinguished himself--at Fort |
Eric, and is friend of Mr.. Clay.
