suggests that they have been repudaied by the pesen
administration for the purpose Of supersedng Mr. Hse

treaty under the auspices Of the present administration
We discover. in fact in the wing press Just now great
parade respecting most magnificent treaty made BY Mr.
Squer. which is TO supersede the arrangements of Mr.

more diplomatic tact than have within the last

however, discreddable as the dumb silence OF the

We await the disclosures that time may make on this
subject with no little interest While on this topic, how
it is well to notice the discrepancy existing among
some of the wing presses this point. Some repre-
