The Peace Conference between President

commissioners Messrs. Hunter, stephens and

The London Globe Of the 10Th, is fully con-
vinced that the peace negotiations were an ut
ter failure, and that the war enters on o new
term, lboth parties being determined to put
everything on the arbitrament of the sword.
The Star Of the 18th, believes the conference
was entered upon in good faith, both parties
meeting entirely for discussion and interchange
of views. w. y. i Fl .-.ss-t ..,,ss,r ',ill

negotiations having been found possible, de-
monstrates with what rapid strides the Ameri-
can people have been advancing towards the
idea ofpeace. That happy contingency may

The Times thinks that thus far there is not
thepleasts sign of any real movement in the
direction of peace. The Americans, It says
are tine slaves of an idea. . Their dreams
OF powerful confederation amounts almost to
monomania. So long as that idea stands in
its pedestal, the war must rage on, and there
is no SYMPTOMS of its early overthrow.
The Army and Navy Gazette thinks the
conference only marks new sphaze in the
conflict, and makes the boundary line between
the belligerents broader and deeper, and rem.
ders peace, it fears, impossible, until one party
or the other have won the fight. 81 ~ n
Ia the House of Commons on the 18th, Mr..
Watkin complained that the government was
allowing the reciprocity treaty to be set aside
without the slightest attempt to avoid it by
negotiations. He also complained that an
intercepted letter had been published without
explanation, stating that Mr.. Lincon had him
self signed an order for breaking the block
aRde at Mobile, while the American ambassador
was constantly complaining of British subjects
doing so. He moved for the papers.
Mr.. Layard said there was no papers to pro-
duce. 'as'i9gt1i g 'es15oa ss1ai 9sy 81. ~ /.
