ard between The unitcd States and Great BFi-

val of The United States senate, It will now be
officially published, although there Is li'l'e

already given to the cea'try.

The conservation Of Canada, and of tho peace
of that country-sc lately established and
IN irail in It's tenurc-~muSt have imposed on
England great sacrifices. Largely occupied
in othcr regions, it was indispensable that
in America she should enjoy repoFe, What

il was mooted whether or not she should repass

tOn others besides the territorial question,
England has not obtained all she desired yet

The treaty is mere remarkable for It's silence
on the most delicate questions. than for its ex-
pressed provisions. 1t is only by induction
that advantages obtained by the American
Secretary, are Ascoverrd. The English min.
lister made him no direct concessions, vet he
did not prevent him to "have and 10 hold" Ger
tain concessions on the condition that he
would not pronounce the name Of that which
he took and held. And here let us add, tha,
Lord Ashburton has managed to append to
the end Of the treaty n short article, respecting
tic right Of search, which, far fro n being Sic
rilc, may one day produce numerous and i'm.
rortant consequences. But, be this rs i, will,
il is equally clear that the American Scereta-
~ used to the greatest advantage of his coun-
try, the straitcncd circumstances Of the British
government. IF he had seemed TO force the
pride OF Great Britain 10 its last cntrench-
ments, the negotiation would have failed, and
the United States, who, in their turn, were not
IN n brilliant position, would have let slip,
perhaps, their only opportunity to complete
without effort a transaction at once useful and
honorable. The United States for a long time
yet, will need English capital and the two
countries, playing together the game Of capi.
talists and spectators, any rupture between
them could not fail seriously 10 injure both.
