The I1teIItgeVccr confesses that the perusaI
OF Lord Palmerston's speech explanatory of
the difficulties which prevented the consumma-
ton of the Dallas-Clarenden treaty, has occa-
stoned 1t some surprise, for the reason that
Lord PalmerstOn, whilst alluding in general
terms to the changes made in the Treaty by the
American Senate, which, though not deemed
unlmportant by the British Government. it
would not have considered insuperable, makes
no mention of the particular alteration which
common report had led US to suppose was the
fatal one" Says the InteHigeacer further:
Our surprise, however, arises not so much
from the discovery of an obstacle to the ratifca-
non different from the one presumed as il does
from the nature of that obstacle; for il we under
stand correctly, from Lord P's brief exposition
.ne dctsI OF the stipulation which the Senate
rejected and which the British Government would
not give up. We must saw that in declinin1 IN
Iatiy the article as it stood the Senate acted in
harmony with the true policy of this Government
