WASHINGTON, June -, 1893.
The Persis's mails viii not be distributed nnh'
tomorrow morning, and hence the ZONE o' 'no
diplomatic dispatches cannot be known before 'ne"'
But if the facts contained IN Dir Dallass previous
correspondence be we'll authenticated then tnefe
is no very great probability that the defeat o' ho,'
Derby IN the House will be followed by ID cary
reconstruction of the Ministry. IL seems 70 nave
been known in leading political circles 10 LONDON
before the test that the Opposition fbfces "ouid
unite On the resolution against the uo'eIhne"'
but bevopd that point there was 10 settled agree
mept az to the future. In fact, the intimate TRENDS
Of Lord Paluerston and Lord John Risseil nad
freely admitted they could not serve togetoer anu
neither vas prepared to yield :" the other' iais
may r1plsin III part, why the reslgostions OF tuo
Derby Ministry hsd not been rendered at ths de-
psrture of the Persia, though several days had
elapsed after the vote ID the Commons.
The sentiment here is freddy to Lord Derby
as coptrasted With either of bfputafse successors.
Thus far The disposition manifested towards the
United States has been frank sDd friendly, and very
different from III temper exhibited oV the previous
Palmerston Government. There are 10 serious
causes Of dis.e reenrnt pending, and none likely to
occur. The unsettled questions, winch are sun
the subjects Of correspondence, are eaacles Oi Loru
PslmeI.tOD but progressing toward satisfactory
solution. II the present relations should cohtlour,
there is abundant to hope that every compll
cation will be removed. With change IN them, 1t
is difficult 10 fOresee what might occur.
Lord Napier rests all lis hopes OF returning to
the nssoD here upon the accession OF Lord Palmer
ston to power, and be announced openly before
leaving Washington that, i'll such event, he would
seeb restoration.
IfsDy treaty with Mexico be expected here, such
as bss figured ~ largely in Washington kilograms
10 Nea -YorB, it unfortunately happens that Ihose
v no ought to be best informed are wholly ignorant
of reason for that anticipation The last advces
from Dir. NcLaIe, did not encourage such an idea,
a,d, indeed, the whole condN on Of things seemed
to exclude IT. aim )st even Us a possibility Juarez
uodettly asks us to send snail army IN Mexico,
fupisb The necessary means for its support, snd
keep it there, until BIS party is fully established 10
power. Constitutional objections here do not ap-
pear to eDbaIrass him 10 the least. lie seems to
think because an American President may march
troops into Kansas IL crush out the Liberties of an
oppressed people our own blood and kindred,
therefore BIZ may do any thing else unrebuked, and
in utter disregard of laws. IL must be confessed,
there il some logical sequence 10 this coDcluson,
though it is not likely to be practically illustrated,
SOME FACTS THAT SHOULD COME To
LIGHT.
