New YORK, April 1.-THE steamship
China from Liverpool 25th via Queenstown
26th has arrived here. Advices are three
days later.
In the House of Lords Russell laid on the
table notification from Mr.. Adams of the
intention of the American Government to
terminate the reciprocity treaty and con-
vention relating to armed forces on the lakes,
said treaty would terminate twelve months
from the day the receipt of the notice was
acknowledged. He admitted the acts COM
mitted on the lakes fully justified the Amer
lean Government in the steps it has taken
with regard to reciprocity. He trusted it
might be renewed with certain modifica-
tions; also that arrangements be made for
limited armament for police service on
the lakes. He trusted the present pacific
relations between the two Governments
would be done in England to interrupt
them. He, however, regretted that re-
marks had been made in the House
of Commons calculated to excite an un-
favorable feeling in America, and concluded
by declaring that England had not acted
wrongfully in any way towards America,
and reiterating his hopes for continued
peace. He said Sir f. Bruce, the new Min
lister, would sail Saturday, and he believed
the dignity and honor of the country would
be safe in his hands.
In the Commons the Marquis of Harding
ton moved vote for the fortification bill,
including 950,000 as part of the $1,000 re-
quired for Quebec. A long debate ensued.
Harrington explained that the estimate for
the Quebec Notifications was 9200000. 1t
was necessary, now that the United States
had become great military power, to
place Canada in state Of defense, although
the Government had not the slightes ex-
pectation that the United States contem-
plated an attack.
Bontenick objected to the Government
scheme, and moved the omission of the
item for Quebec from the estimates.
The merits of the question were debated
by General Peel, Oderly, D'Israli, Busy,
Cardwell and Others, who supported the
rate.
Bright and Lowe were the principal
speakers against the measure.
Palmerston denied that there was any
danger of war with America. Their rela-
tions were friendly. The Government had
simply proceeded according to the practice
of all countries.
The amendment was rejected by 275 to
40.
Continental politics are unimportant.
