The arrivals from the United States by

manas Of public redress and satisfaction the preunisss

thcr learn that the government of Great Britain has de
cafed 10 answer that II stringent Instructions not
to violate the municipal law and further learn that
the English has expressed IT, regret IL any
violations Of the municipal iaw Of America have taken
place. These things furnish Admirable text TO the
the troubled waters by suggesting that the instruction
not 10 violate the municipal Inv of the United
states g dsgraut violation OF their sose-

national wrong inflicted upon them In pursuance of
this charitable view Mr. Gushing proceeds 10 direct
that the British Consul hball be allowed t1 interfere
In the trial that letters from him ahal be read,

him be admitted except Ia the character ~ witness for

such directions would be necessary because one
