Sultan their ally, the Americans, rely on tbeiI
filbusters and collection of adventurers to annex
Mexic0 and take Cuba from Spain. The Frcsee, in
conclusions relies on the French Government to set
all matters to rights. France, who wotld not per
nit the Darianelies to fall into the hands of Russia
will not suffer Egypt to become English, or Nicara

Atlantlc Telegrsph speeplatior

Prom the Washington Union, June iOl
In Yesterdays issue we made some allusion
70 the proceedings Of the Atlantic Telegraph
Company, with reference to the late act of the
Parliament Of Great Britain. Il seems that
these Developments have been formally laid be-
! fore Congress, and that the Judiciary Commits
tee Of the Senate has been investigating the
condition Of things in the premises.
On yesterday, the committee made report
to the Senate, accompanied by various dOcu-
ments, explaining the reasons which prevent
/ the United States Government from entering
into any contract with the Atlantic Telegrsp
Company, giving to that company the aid Of
the government mentioned in the act Of the last
/ Congress. Il seems that the company has
acted IA direct viotsti0n Of the law Of Congress,
I 10 conformity to which the government loaned
/ 70 the company the ship Niagara to assist IN
/ laying the telegraph cable Under these cir
cumstances, the question as to the Propriety Of
allowing that ship to remain longer in the ser
vice Of that company Is worthy Of immediate
consideration.
] II the company has violated the conditions Of
the act Of Congress, so that the eontrac. con-
templated BY the Law cannot be executed upon
I the ssrt Of the United States Government, the
ship Niagara cannot be permitted to remain in
the employment Of the company, and the vessel
ought to be ordered into the government ser
vice Immediately. The conditions Of the loan
Of the ship, and the payment Of the $40 600
/ per year for twenty-five years, are the same.
/ IL the money cannot be paid to the company
the ships, for the same reason, cannot be
| loaned.
The Judiciary Committee reported to the
Senate that
g No contract has been concluded with th'
Atlantic Telegraph Company, aud that " th'
act Of Parliament Incorporating the Atlantic
Telegraph Company, seems, in some OF its pro-
visions, to render any contract with that conPa
ny inadmissible within the intent Of Congress
as evidenced In the act authorizing a contract
