nan Fast three-Y5 per cent has been paid
out of doors on the President, and there is doubt
whether anything less than 80 per cent, would be
accepted in the subscription room al l. oyd's. She
was FIRST insured at per cent.

NJ Guzot, not content with offering his services as
msdiator, has threatened the United States az
journal atirms that he has, with an armed nterven-
ton. France invading the United States in favour
OF England Ii IS an idea too ridiculous TO be en-
lertainedi even by the men who abandoned Egypt

founded only upon Paris letter in the London
