| FOREIGN OPINIONS OF THE LATE TREATY.
We find copied into the London Morning
Chronicle, Che same paper WHICH sarcas'IcalIy

somewhat lengthy article from Frazer's Maya
zine, in the course of which the results of the
late Treaty thus summed up;

Bay of Fundy-right of fishe ies-two-hirds OF the
territory in dlspute-a formidable island in the ST.

got in return The third and worst part OF our own
terrory-and pc uce-a and peace that is TO say,
hollow truce, until the Americans fancy they
can attack us at advantage. Peace we VIII
never have a secure peace WIN those our
most nvcerate enemies unnatural as II seems
it. Some stress has been la by the journals
upon Mr.. Fetherstonhaugh's speech in fayo' OF the
AsfburtoD treaty We remember when we were
qualifying ourselves to review the report publsh
by him and Colonel Nudge, that MIR. urquhart, in one
of his pamphlets challenged this civil iueer with
ha ing from his connections aud course of life, the
interests of Amer al heart than those Of Eng
land. We thought the charge more unounded at the
time than we do at present. Mr. featherstonhaugh
must have known that he was dealing IN fallaces.

The French papers, also in commenting on
those points in the Treaty, which they can best
understand and which are of most interest to
them, seem to be Of opinion that our country
has clearly had the best Of the great diplomatic
bargain aud has forced the English Govern
ment into concession, which all Europe has
hitherto not been able to wiring from it,
From the Paris Prssse.
"The treaty with America takes from the British
Government all pretext for insisting the

From the same.
England seems to have remarkably lowered her
usual preiension She no longer talks of the recpro-
cal right OF sea oh. The Is not even mention
cd. 1t is SIMPLY agreed that each Of the Two nations
shall keep fleet the coast of Africa, and direct
the police of its flag Although the text is writ
ten with studied obscurny, this is the evident con
struction. Ii 1t be So, tue case is serious. Hence
forth there can be no reason for keeping France
der restraint to which the u nited States refuse to
submit. This treaty. with which the English appear
to be well satisfied may be taken 10 be virtual alb
rogalion ofthc Convention of 1881 and 1888 and IN
stead Of renewing them, France ought to demand
their formal annulment, This being So we also will
rejoice at the treaty just concluded. The resolution
adopted appears the best that can be come to-
Let each Govern ent watch over its own citizen. by
means Of a special squadron and then there can be
nothing to complain OIL while the slave trade will be
equally and ehecuilly suppressed England alone
will lose, because this system will put end to
her sntiqualed clam TO supremacy on the seas.
From the Courier Franeais.
There is not a Flencbman some of the ministers
excepted, who, reading the spulations agreed to
between England and America, will not a

which the United States have been able to establish.
From the National
The Americans by the rev iIeay have establish

to give up their prelension which they had always
cherished, OF pressing American Sailors by declaring
