TWO DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND.


The steamship Great Western arrived at New
York Saturday afternoon, having left Liverpool
the 2lst ut making the trip in than fourteen
days, the shortest passage made between Liver
pool and New York city.
Although but two days later than before received,
it will be seen that the intelligence from France in
relation 10 the right of search is of high impor,
The Government of that country Wiu not ravy the
treaty. 1t is pledged not to do SO by the emphatic de-
claration of Nj. Guizot
In the House of Commons on the Goth this CONVEX
saton ensued:
BOUNDARY QUESTION.
Lord Palmerston said he wished to put question 10
the Ris hit Hon. Baronet A mission had been sent 10
explore the line OF boundary which was claimed by
the British Government the frontier of North Anne
RIGA, in order ascertain whether the line of bounda
ry consistent with the treaty OF 1888. In the
year of 1910, he Loru Paine rston had laid report
of the commission the subject the table OF the
House. it then wished ascertain whether the
line claimed by the American Government Their
side, conormabe with the words of the treaty oil
1888. Of Course it important TO ascertain this fact
nasmuch if the line were settled, it would place
he British in a much better situation. Early last
year he Lord Palnerston) had sent cut commission
for the purpose Of exploring The American line, anu
thai Commission had bat just returned. He wished,
therefore, to ask the Right Hon. Barontt whether
heir report will soon be lad before Parliament
Sir X. PEEL said he understood that report
had been received by the noble lord in 1910, which
had been laid on the table of the house. The no
Die lord had laid report on the table in December,
1910, but subsequently to that another report Ia d
been received, which had not been laid the table.
The noble lord had correctly stated that the COM
mission had returned, and they had made report in
pursuance of instructions gwen them, which report
he (Sr r. PeeD had seen within the last few days.
There was to be appendix to that report and it
necessary to have plans to be referred to in
the report drawn up, and soon as these plans and
appendix completed the report would be laid on
the table.
Among the visiters at the Queens Drawing Room,
on the 18th, we observe the names of Mr.. and Mrs.
and Miss Everett
The day was observed with great pomp, as the an
niversary of the Queens birth day, the illumnations
in the evening being brilliant than has been
for some time past.
THE RIG HIT OF SEARCH.
In the French Chamber of Deputies the budget for
foreign affairs being under discussion, NJ BiAaut,
the ally of M. Theirs, assailed the Quntuple Treaty
and the conduct Of M. Guzot in peIemptorily re-
fusing to ratfy the treaty He stated that merchant
and shipper Of Marsees had ordered his captains
hoist the American colors should the English cruisers
come within sight and that the same instructions
about to be given at all the French ports Thus
added the orator, "the impotency Of the French flag
to protect it's own commerce will be established"
M. Bilaut complained that the day after the sigma
ture of the December Treaty, note had been ad-
uTtSsou W tue OHiIou OulcsJ HOIly 10 tIleu Tue
new alliance of the Great Powers, thus making use
Of the Of France to tear from the American
Government its adhesion to the extended right of
search
NJ Guizot, in reply, stated that the treaty had not
been ratified and in its present form aUould not be ratified
but he declined topledge the responsibility of the
Crown as to its future acts
The words of M. Guizot as reported in the Mont
ter we're" In the present state of things and the
actual disposition of the public mind, should deem
myself wanting in my duty towards the country, were
to advise the the ratification of the treaty.
The following remarks on the refusal of France to
ratify the treaty are from the London Sun.
So far then, regards France, there is an end of
the controversy During the life Of the present ge-
neraton France will not raty the treaty, nor will
the United States adopt it.
| What, then, remains for Great Britain to do? En-
force the treaty Alone and if resisted declare wal
against France and the United States Heaven for
| bid that we should be guilty of such madness!
| We have already expended more blood and trea-
for the suppression of slavery than sound policy
and the happiness of the African race would warrant
Sir Foxwell Buxton in his recent clever book on the
subject distinctly states that have given al impe-
tus to the slave trade by expensive but blunde
| ing ill-directed efforts to suppress it,
1t may be asked what we would recommend
the British Government to DO in the present emer
gency We answer distinctly, abandon the treaty
| altogether.
