on their part, and philanthropy which few Will

The Morning Post confines its remarks to the
Presidents policy in regard to Cuba, and denoun-
ces il in strong terms.
The star refers to the Central American ques-
tiop and deprecates the Presidents request TO De
allowed to employ force in the protection OF the
transit route and doubts whether the European
powers would quietly permit the exercise OF an
exclusive protectorate by America over the lsth .
mus.
The rest of the London papers comment on the
document with mixture Of satisfaction and dis
satisfaction.
The Manchester Guardian, in objection to the
proposition that the President should be armed
with power to use force in the protection OF the
Isthmus says: ''That between the expeditions OF
Walker and his filibusters, and the proposed In
yasion of the regular forces of the United States,

depce of Nicaragua is concerned" The same
journal likewise condemns the effrontery OF the
President, in regard to Mexico.
The Liverpool Albion charaeterigas the message
as dishonest in tone, and filled with braggadocio
and flibus' ering.
The excitement in Ireland as to the arrest of
the members of the Phoenix Club is dying out
Two or three additional arrests have been made,
but nothing of moment had transpired.
A club is said to have been established in Kerry,
by a person engaged in the Smith 0Brien affair
of 1S4S.
The London Times, in its City Article remarks
upon Mexico, says that no one entertains the
smallest doubt but the American claims on Mex
leo will be obtained to the last dollar, and asks
why should not equal reliance be felt Ky Euro
pean creditors. 1t says that the foreign debt oil
Mexico is ten millions, of which, probably, more
than three-fourths is held in England. If the
United States are to seize a material guarantee
what it asks, 10 to be done by England, whose
wrongs and demands are of so much greater mag
nitude?
