The Enshsh journals have beeH busily engaged
IN discussing the question concerning the Lobos
Jsands. If any other but the weak and pu-
s,llapimcns Lord Mslmssbury had happened 10 have

Ee ocean, world never have been questioned
adyerted, at the origin Of the mstter, when the
guauo wss first discovered, to this important qnss-
ton, and related hOw the merchants, by . commit
tee, had made representations 10 Lord Malmesbary
OF the injustice of their ships being prevented by
the Peruvian government from gathering the pre-
cous ofih. Tne reply Of Lord Mainesbury to the
strong circumstances Of the merchants interested
in the matter, was evssive, and, reduced to CON-
mon, undii toma,ic language, amounted 10 saying
that be knew not whether Peru had or had not any
right 20 the islands. Now, however, since Mr.
Websier's famous letter TO Mr.. Jevett, and
the departure Of American merchant feet

Mslmesbu1y had deprived them Of the same

sufficiently well understood 10 be adverse to
