Mr.. LaWIcnCC, during has residence III

placed the social representation OF the American Re-
public on a level with that Of any European monarch,
even when their ministers were re brilliantly en-.
dow ed srd more socially nclDed tdaO they have be en-
during TIE Last four year; for since February le4'
European diplomacy in London has, to speak the truth,
been rather suky ana r5cuse. An1 thus the greater
distinction of the American siion in the hands Of sir
Lawrence has not been without its use 1t has di'a.
bused fashionable life In London Of many false impress

and it has opened up TO his felow.citizens visiting Ed

ways before enjoyed in much greater degree In Pans
From this mutual advantage has sprung. For what
both English and Americans chiefly need Is, to Know
each other better and intimately in our domestic
relations And nov that distance acrors the Atlantic

and vacation excursion has fairly set la In that direction
In return we may hereafter hope for large additions

For much of ths improved feelug-for the great inn

wise and liberal policy Of the late Government repre-
sented In congen.s spirit at Washington by Sir Henry
Bulwer and there reciprocated by or. Fillmore and
Mr. Webster. And is not of the least signidcant
results OF change Of Ministers here, that while Lord
Derby and his colleagues are In their desire to receive
support from European despOism, willing TO submit TO

But without entering Into an examination of the
Treaty or expressing a decided opinion whether Sic

push the language Of obsolete treaty to extremes,
and risk the rupture Of good undertaking with the

Great men Profound ststeamen They throw the
Influences of England into the scales Of desp)tsm in
Europe: they the hatred Of the Roman Catholics

fatally the consequences Of TOryism In the councils Of
the Crown appear and when, In October, Mr. Law.

Minister'S brilliant receptions.
