ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN.
From lie Ne,o York Commercial .qdrertiser Of So
turdoy Erening.
At } o'clock we received files by the Great
Western, of London and Liverpool papers to The
2lst May inclusive.
We are under obligations to Capt. Hoskrn for
the Times, Herald, aud Morning Post, of May 81.
Although but two days later than before recev-
ed, it will be seen that the intelligence from
France in relation to the right Of search, is of high
inportance. The government of that country ,DiL
mot raify lie treaty 1t pledged not to 90 SO by
the emphatic declaration of M. Guizot.
THE BOUNDARY QUESTION.
Parliament re-assemblcd on the Goth. In the
House of Commons Lord Palmerston asked
whether the report OF the commission sent out by
hun TO explore the Main boundary line would soon
be laid on the table of the House.
Sir II. Peel said he understood that report
had been received by the noble lord in 1910,
which had not been laid on the table of the House.
The noble lord had laid report on the table in
December 1870, but subsequently, To that, another
report had been received, which had not been laid
on the table.
The noble lord had correctly stated that the
commission had returned, and they had made a
report in pursuance of instructions given them,
which report he (Sir r. Peel) had seen within the
last few days.-1'here was to be an appendix to
that report, and it was also necessary to have
plans to be referred to in the report drawn up and
as soon as these plans and app milk were compile
ted, the report would be laid on the table.
THE RIGHT OF SEARCH.
In the French Chamber of Deputies, on the 18th
OF May, Nj. de Bossy persisted in his calls on NJ.
Guizot for explanations respecting the slave trade
treaty. The question related to alleged ill-ireat-
ment of French sailors by British cruisers. NJ.
Guizot denied that any such cases had occurred.
Nf
ded against the ratification Of the treaty.
On the 18th NJ. Guizot had declared that the
treaty would mol be ratified. lie repealed the idea
that the Government would be more ready to ra-
tty after the dissolution Of the Chambers, and
concluded with these words:
The line of conduct which ! adopted two
months ago in refusing to raiiy the trcatyI will
equally pursue when the doors Of this building
are closed, and, in the actual state Of things i
conceive that l should fail in NY duty wore 10
recommend the ratification.

SO lar then, as regards France there is an end
OF the controversy. During the life of the presen,
generation, France will not raify the treaty, moi
VIII the United States adopt il.
What, then, remains Tor Great Britain to do
Enforce the treaty alone. and, if resisted, declare
war against France and the United States! IIeav.

we nave already expended more blood and traa-
sure Tor the suppression Of slavery than sound po-
hey and the happiness OF the African race would
warrant. Sir POWELL Buxton, in his recent clever
book on the subject, distinctly states that we have
given an impetus to the slave trade by our ex-
pensIve, but blundering idirccted efforts to sup
press it.
ltmay be asked what we would recommend
tie BRUSH Government to do in the present emer-
gency We answer distinctly, abandon the treaty
altogether.
