The Morning Post additionally asserts that
the American Government is strongly oppos-
ed to the Fenians, and will do all in its power
to defeat them. 1t says President johnson
and Secretary Seward are animated by the
most friendly sentiments towards England,
and the latter has communicated Fenian
movements to the British Cabinet, and Meth
er the public nor the Government will readily
forget Mr.. Stewards honorable and amicable
conduct.
The Daily News thinks the Fenian move
ment is likely to settle in a beneficial way the
relations between the United States and Ire
land, and that the political relation between
England and Ireland are likely to be far better
understood than they have ever yet been.

The Times says Frankfort advices mention
that the meeting of American bond holders.
secretly called there by Mr.. Lancer, New
York banker, was largely attended. Mr. Lam
Ger said he had not come to borrow. His
countrymen were competent and provided for
the wants of the Government, but to make
some communication about present facts and
future prospects. The Secretary of the Treas
ury, however, desired him to do SO during his
stay in Europe. He stated that as large i'm
portations were required for the South, even a
larger revenue from customs was more proba-
BILE than he had stated Congress would also
probably at its next session put export duties on
cotton, tobacco &c, by which an additional
revenue of sixty million dollars would be rails
ed. He also said it was the intention of the
Secretary to take up special payment as soon
as possible, with reduction of the paper cur
reiicy next spring. The meeting expressed
great doubts whether export or large import
duties would answer the purpose. The views
on this subject being of an entirely opposite
character in Europe, where export duties are
abolished, and import duties renewed to the
lowest ports. Above all, the advantage was
urged of setting aside certain revenues for the
gradual extinction of the paper currency. a
