the two countries were fairly carried out II would
be recollected that the understanding with the Unit
ed States, which was embodied in correspondence
between the English Minister at Washington and the
Secretary ofState for the United States was that the
whole OF the privileges conferred by the laws of
Great Britain upon the ships of the United States
should be conferred upon British ships by the Unit
ed States except as regarded the coasting trade.

for they made 1t include the trade from the east
coast of America, from New York and New Orleans
round Cape Horn to California on the other side Of
the continent. He did not, at the present moment
contend that they were not technically right in that
interpretation because by the law of 1917 the coast
ing trade was declared to be the trade from one
vessel were chartered from one port Of the Unit
ed States to another in one continuous voyage, Il
might be commended by an extreme application ofthe
term, that 1t came under the definition Of the
States that similar state of things prevailed in Eu-
rope and that when vessel made voyage from
Havre to Marseilles, although part of Portugal

that the question was .one Of degree and not Of
principle. Admitting this he must say that to cons
true as coming within the definition of the coastng
trade cargo sent from New York or New Orleans
to Aspinwail, unshipped there, carried across the
Isthmus reshipped the other side and sent to Ca

sensations made to the Board of Trade, they had
applied to the British Consul at San Francisco, who
now happened to be in this country. AS at present
advised, he should be disposed to say that the Eng

ties of communication across the Isthmus it was
probable that almost all the shipments for Califor-
mia would be conveyed across the Isthmus, the mat

Board of Trade had therefore called the attention
Of Lord Lyons to the subject, with the intention Of
obtaining satisfactory settlement of this question.

The pacific under current which mentioned in

European politics is becoming daily more percep-
tble, in spite of the tremendous ornaments that
are going on in every direction, and of the fright
ful scenes OF carnage enacted at the seat of war.

you would imagine that treaty of peace was al.
ready signed, and that the belligerents were lust
shaking hands and swearing eternal friendship.
This impression originates not SO much in the con.
tinued successes of the Ales-athough every
fresh victory of Louis Napoleon sends the
funds up considerably-as in the opinion that
the internal condition of Austria will rem
ger II impossible for her to prosecute
the war, and force her statesmen to submit to
partial ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of the monarchy in order
to save the whole from dissolution. All accounts
received from Vienna and other parts of the Aus
TRAN empire concur in painting the state of things
in the darkest and most threatening coors. few
days ago twas asserted that revolt had actually
broken out in the capital; and although this turned
out to be unfounded it is certain that the dsaec.
ton prevailing there has reached SO high pitch
that catastrophe may be hourly expected. From
Hungary the intelligence is still more alarming:
serious disturbances have occurred in various parts
of the country, martial law has been proclaimed
and Count Halter, who acts as Governor during the
absence of Archduke Albert, has informed his
Court that without strong reinforcements he can.
not hope to keep down the spirit of rebellion that
is menacing him on all sides. Under these circum-
stances, it is easy to foresee what effect will be
produced by the landing of French corps at Lussia
Piccoo, on the coast of the Hungarian Littoral.
Of which we were informed yesterday by tele-
graph, and there cannot be doubt that If the war
continues few weeks longer all Hungary will be
IN flames. A similar feeling is manifested in Gal.
hcia, in Bohemia and in Croatia. The system of
Capitalization pursued by the Austrian government
for the last ten years has had the effect of alienat
ing all the multfarious races subjected to its SWAY,
who have been deprived of their ancient privileges
and constitutions, which, though imperfect in them
selves, were endeared to them as forming part aud
parcel Of their nationality Even the Tyrol, which
from time immemoral was distinguished for its
fidelity to the house of Hapsburg, begins to show
symptoms Of dissatisfaction and the appearance Of
Garbaldi on its frontiers has been insufficient ia
rouse the loyalty of a population disguised by a
long course of oppression. 1t would seem impos.
sble that even the traditional stubbornness of the
Austrian Cabinet should be able to hold out
against such an accumulation of difficulties, or
refuse to make concessions that may avert
the ruin which is staring them in the face:
but the question arises whether it is not
already too late Will peace hastily patched up
suffice to alay the agitation that is conyusinp the
empire from one extremity to the other? VIII the
