GREAT BRITAIN. = President Buchanan's
message attracted great attraction in England.
1t was telegraphed entire from Liverpool to
some of the London papers, being the longest
dispatch ever sent by telegraph in England.
The London Times, in its review Of the mes
sage, confines itself to two topics-the fnan-
cial crisis and the Central American question.
1t CONSTITUTES Mr.. Buchanan's remarks on the
former subject into tribute to the monetary
system Of England.
On the Central American question, the
Times says: 6 We have much pleasure in
receiving the assurance of Mr.. Buchanan that
the interests of the two countries are identi-
cal, being confined to securing safe transit
over all the routes across the Isthmus. Let
the American Government give proof of this,
and we are sure that matters will be speedily
settled"
The London Post lauds the Message gener-
ally, and says it is highly creditable to the
moderation, Judgment, and public spirit of
Mr. Buchanan. The Daily NeaoS praises the
trankness of the foreign policy, and endorses
his views on the commercial crisis, but says
that the shuffling tone of the message on the
affairs of Knnzas, is in painful contrast with
the frank and manly tone of that portion
which treats Of foreign policy.

that the East India Company have received
formal notice that it is tile intention OF the
