srECULATGoNs OF THE ENGLISH JOURNALS

English statesmen for the Premiership and east lis

cal and economical knowledge. in eloquence he is
the nrsf man OF the liberal party and has right to
seryoA the country well. he is ffty-sx years old
and has spent the prime of his life and used the
pest OF his nowers in official work, He conld not
be expected to serve under Lord Granville: and
though he might well afford to hold office under Lord
Russell or Lord Clarendon, vet the appointment of
either of those statesmen would undoubtedly be held
it would probably be meant, to imply distrust Of
his fitness for the highest service of the state We
are far from denying that Mr.. Gladstone may have
given grounds for such distrust and we have some
times been tempted to wish that portion of his

solid though less brilliant character but such ms he

The Mexican Question.
AN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. INSTRUCTIONS TO MR..
The rumOr concerning the United States and
France, sent to the London Times by its New y ork
comment in England takes new phase. The fol-
lowing statement is made prominently by the London
DdiIy Ne'rS, of October 10Th
THE story published in this country that Mr.. Sew
ard had sent an ultimatum to Paris, declaring that
President johnson would not permit the despatch of
more French troops to Mexico has at length dwn-
died to the statement which Is not Improbable that
the American Secretary of State had written to Mr..
Bigeow. expressing the earnest desire Of the United
and all the world, but intimating that it Is feared
Congress will demand extreme measures If additional
troops are sent to Mexico
On this subject the Paris Patrie says:
The Cabinet of Washington, being uneasy on ac-
count of the project attributed to France of recruit
ing in Egypt and sending to Mexico new corps of
black troops, has submitted to the Imperial Govern
ment in the most unreseryed terms the objections
which such measure might give rise to, but the
communication of the American Secretary bearing
exclusively upon this particular fact necessarily
abstaned from all reflections upon French interven-
ton, properly so called. This communication is,
moreover now unimportant, because the plan which
for instant the tapls has since been given
up"
The London Morning Post says:
Tits mentioned that few days since Mr.. BigeIow
had an interview with NJ Drouyn De FHuys on the
Mexican question, when the explanations given by
the former were deemed satisfactory
THE REBEL COTTON LoAN-MEETING OF THE BOND
HOLDERS.
An adjourned meeting of the holders Of the Rebel
cotton loan held London on tlelSth of OctO-
Der, for the purpose of receiving report from the
a ProTo Wa G oceue the ebs Mr.
J. NJ. Chamberlain submitted the report, which was
designed to inform the bondholders of the steps which
had been taken to place their interests firm and
legal basis. In the course of long correspondence
with various persons the committee ascertained from
Messr Schroeder Co., that the amount of bonds in
circulation at present was e, 2,4lS,SOO.
The committee had thought 1t their duty to ascer
tain precisely the legal status OF the
and therefore had submitted case to Mr.. Fleming,
Queens counsel, and report of the United States,
against Prilqeau. Mr. Fleming was requested to con,
agents of the loan, and whether any and what
could be adopted to force them to disclose what funds
if any, they had on hand belonging to the late gov
ernment, and to compel their application in part
liquidation of the clai ms of the bondholders.
Mr.. Fleming gave long and elaborate opinion, en-
tering fully into the doctrine OF State Rights and
gung that if the Confederate States had not lost their
existence as independent States before the contrac
ton Of the loan, and he thinks not there is no ground
which the original validity can be successfully
called in question. If his view Is correct then the
United States having taken the property of the Con-
fderate States subject to the charge of the oan that
which has become the property of the United States
continues liable to the charge. He has no doubt that
if the contractor has any property or funds forwarded
by the Confederate Governmental meet any Liabilities
on account of the loan that the contractor is liable
to the contributors and that 1t would be prudent TO
file bill in equity against the contractor.
On this opinion the committee remark that the
opinion of Mr. Fleming on the case leaves no doubt
that later either the United States or the
States which formed the Confederation, will recog
nize and pay the loan.
After some desutory conversation the report was
received, but not adopted, and the meeting stands
adjourned until the 18th of January next.
