Among che important subjects which are

Treaty. Its the most important treaty, per-

Grafton Of the body. fos Il Involves the adop.

neighbors, not only In Central Amsries, but
elsewhere on this Continent. II 10 consider.

BY the next packet from Aspiawsll, We
may receive the ratification OF. OF notice OF
the refusal to ratify, the Cass.lleron treaty,
BY New Grensds. II the ratification b r..
fused OF delayed, the President will, u u sup
posed, have some proposition TO oder Coa-
gress on the subject.
The indications arc that Congress viii re-
fuse to comply with the Prssidsnrs recon-
mendation In regard TO the employment OF
force to compel Paraguay to Afford Ne fedress.
It il contendsd that Paraguay 70 ready 70 az
ford redress upon our remonstrsnce. and to
enter into commercial treaty with ", u 10
will send her minister duly empowered for
that purpose. But II l. quite certain that In
the case Of her difficulties with Brasil. and
with France. she yielded not 10 renonstrsnee,
but to threats Of force. "
Our Minister at Buenos AyIes might be IN
II structed to precede our naval force, and 30
up to Assumption. which he can do in the
steamer. and demand redress, and offer to
make new commercial treaty. In case OF
refusal, we should need stronger force than
has been proposed to ehsstiss Paraguay. We
should need, and might purchase, the dozen
steam gun.boats that Drszil had procured for
the same purpose, In case negotiation should
not serve her turn. .rE
