The iHion newspaper Of this city comes T.
the rescue of the London stock, jobbng jour- ala
which first denied the existence Of the dispatch
sent 10 Lord Russell by Mr. Adams, ON tbs
10Th Of December. and which nfIerward a.-

the 18th Dec, and forms but Il part, although
il is the most important part, OF the inter-
changed views of our Minister and the Ei gisk
Foreign Secretary suggested by the coDcealed
