Senate and urged upon the President, he might
be forced to give il the effect Of law; while we,
| having taken no precautions, but trusting to
their good faith and the comfy Of nations
would find ourselves Invested Of the means of
protecting our own rights. If this case had
been properly looked into they should at once
have declared that the United States had no
rights west of the Rocky Mountains; and if
the negotiations which had been broken up
were to be recommended, he trusted they
would be put OH proper footing, and that the
United States would be called on to show
what right they had to cross the Rocky Noun
tains at all.
Sir Robert Peel replied, that Mr. Roebuck
had rightly described the convention; which
was framed to last for ten years. 1t was re-
newcd in 1927, and expired again in 1885, but
it was also provided that neither party should
terminate the arrangement without giving u
! years notice. With respect to the negotia-
tons with the Executive Government OF the
! United States, they have not been brought TO
a close; and it would not be consistent with
his duty to produce the correspondence to the
House. Mr. Roebuck would see that our re-
lations are not with the House Of Representa-
tives, but with the American Executive. Sir
Robert quite agreed with MIR. Roebuck that
! nothing could be more unsccmly than TO use
any language of buster or menace; but, while
forbearing to do so, he hoped the House would
not infer that her Majcsty's Government are
not deeply sensible of the Importance of this
subject.

the continent-grcat as they have been. So
electrified were the audience with the novelty

before the curtain on the first night! After the
Ballet had terminated, many of the Russian
nobility insisted upon being introduced to the
Professor and his fascinating youths, for which
purpose they visited them in their dressing
rooms, making handsome presents to the little
fellows, and overwhelming the father with their
congratulations. Amongst those most loud in
his expressions Of rapture was Prince Walkens-
ky, the minister Of the palace. The death of
the Grand Duchess prevented the Emperor
} from visiting the Theatre to see Risley, but a
private representation was ordered to be given
before him in the palace. All the Imperial

with Professor Risley's success, that he insisted
upon accompanying him to Moscow, in which
