DAYS LATER FRoM EUROPE.

Inc OolilnS steamer Daltlc arrived AT NeV
York May %, bringing Liverpool dates t.
Wednesday, l4th instant. Her news is of con
siderable interest. The following is 4 sum
mary:
A commercial treaty has been concluded be
tween Persia and the United States.
1t was rumored that an American squadron
would soon enter the Baltic.
ENGLAND.
Walkers battles in Central America had not
caused much excitement in England. The
London Herald, however, has an editorial in
which it declares the United States is wrong
and England right in regard to the construction
of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. 1t says: !.
"Whatever may be the result of the ap.
preaching discussion Of the Bulwer-Clayton
treaty, it is quite clear that the state of affairs
In Central America cannot be much longer over
looked. 1t already demands the serious atten.
tion Of statesmen on both sides Of the Atlantic.
How far it may be competent for this govern
ment to interfere is question which we appre-
hend may soon have to be decided-how that
interference may be regarded at Washington is
consideration of grave Importance"
1t then refers to the battles of Walker with
the Costa Ricans, says the latter almost despair
of making headway against 6libusters from the
United States, and then expresses its surprise
at the recent discovered correspondence be-
tween Lord Clarendon and Mr.. Wallerstein, the
consul for Costa Rica, in which the former
promised to sell the latter two thousand stand
of English arms. On this the Herald remarks:
"Lord Clarendon will, of course, be pre-
pared to explain his share in the transaction !;
but we need not say the discovery of such o
communication as we have described will not
tend to allay the irritation which the Central
American and the recruiting difficulties" have
already created at Washington. 1t is unfortu-
nate, to say the least of it, that under any cir
cumstances British Minister should be caught
affording furtive assistance to the government
of an independent State, and expressing Sc
cretly sympathy of which he has not cared
to make open and manly avowal."
Sir Bulwer Lytton's motion regarding Gen.
trail America stands fixed for an early day after
the recess of Parliament; and the Herald anti
cipates that he will present careful and exact
analysis of the contents of the "blue book
Central American) correspondence. 1t then
says:
Regarding the conduct of the American
Government upon that question we have from
the first had but one opinion, and that opinion
we have not hesitated to express openly and
distinctly. In the controversy which has arisen
respecting the meaning of the Bulwer-C Clayton
Treaty, the British Government has been clearly
in the right; the American Government mani
festly in the wrong.
The treaty is as clear and Ineligible a
document as ever was drawn up by the servants
of any Government, and reflects credit on the
clear understanding and ability of its author
In ba rras sdpfc 70 off ,po 70
we do not directly assert that the Cabinet of
Washington are responsible, seeing they de-
nounce Walker as pirate and proclaim their
determination to bring his followers within the
provisions of the neutrality law of the States !;
but it is remarkable fact that at the various
trials of 6llbusters had at New Orleans and
New York for the violation Of that law the
Government have never managed to procure n
conviction. The colonization of any part of
Central America is distinctly prouided against
by the Bulwer- Clayton Treaty yet it is notori-
Gus that colonists from the Southern States,
and especially from Florida, are constantly
finding their way into the States named in the
convention"
Sir Bulwer Lytton, the Herald contends,
should endeavor to impress upon Government
the means which he should be prepared to state
whereby satisfactory settlement Of all the dis
puted points of the question may be attempted,
and in conclusion, adds:
"The condition in which Great Britain must
stand with reference to our transatlantic allies
would be delicate and critical indeed should
Walker and his fllibusters succeed in estab-
fishing government, and demand for it the
recognition of England"
Lord Palmerston had been taken i'll in the
House of Commons.
The New Loan OF Five Millions.
On the 18th instant considerable number
of abnkers, merchants, and others had an in
terview with the Chancellor Of the Excheauer, in
London, in reference to the proposed new loan
Of 100000 sterling to be raised on consoli-
dated three per cent. annuities. For every
fl00 subscribed in money, the contractors will
receive G3 per cent. consolidated annuities.
The bddings to be made in such annuities.
The interest on the three per cent consolidated
annuities will commence from the 5th January,
1856. The payments run from May % to Sep
tember l8.
The chancellor mentioned that the loan which
was now proposed was calculated to cover the
whole Of the estimated service Of the year, with
the exception of f2,000,000, and be should
propose to take power for issuing upon this

would not, under any circumstances, according
to his calculation, be required till the end OF

three months of 1857. He afterwards said it

confidently expressed an opinion that the

IREUANn
The amnesty bestowed on Smith 0'Brien and
the other political exiles has afforded universal
satisfaction in ireland. The Frecman's Journal
expresses the hope that the example so nobly
set by England may be followed by her ally,
France.
A resolution in favor Of tenant-right has, on
motion Of DR.. Gray, been adopted unan
mously by the Dublin corporation.
FRANCE.
In France the secret societies we're causing
some anxiety to the Government.
On the llth instant, $500 French troops
arrived at Marseilles from the Crimea, accom-
panied by five generals.
