He had no confidence in diplomacy; and he
believed the present was mere diplomatic
squabble. What difference was their between

There had been no change Of friendly feeling
or sentiment on either side; but diplomatic
squabble had arisen. he WAS very certain
that, coming in contact as he did with many
Americans, they did not at all sympathize with

countries to interfere and to NEEDLE, they
would always have disputes. They could
easily withdraw them; the thing had been
done before. Not many years ago the diplo-
matist was called from Spain, and the Spanish

without any diplomatic communication with
Spain. He would appeal to any gentleman
whether they had had a more quiet, peaceablej
comfortable year-to use good old English
word-than they had with Spain during these
twelve months. He believed that the institu.
ton of diplomacy was effete and worn out.
