thought, has definitely determined that the great
Amazon River shall not be opened to foreign navi-
CATION. Ifihis decision is maintained, the immense
valleys drained by this mighty stream & its mum
erous tributaries, and possessing elements of
prosperity and wealth rarely exceed. must con
tinue to be withheld from the and deprived of
the benefits of commerce, and the arts of thorough
civilization which follow commerce in its every
track.
EUROPEAN ArrAIRs.-The tone of the London
Times articles is quite moderate, and it does not
indicate n speedy assault upon Sobasiopol. Lord
Raglan had determined still to retain his position
as Commander in Chief, and the feeling against
him was subsidine. In brief the prospect gene
rally was pacific, and yet satisfactory arrange
ment depended upon SO many points that no con-
idence was felt in the future.
