factory.
SATURDAY EV'NG, June 16.-The action
of the American Government towards the
Fenans in the United States gives general
satisfaction.
| The London Times to-day eulogises the
Washington Government, and says it would
be impossible to eXaggerate the good faith,
| the friendship, the sincerity and the regard
| for mutual obligations which have prompt
| ed these energetic and decisive measures.
| The American Government has acted in
manner which even excludes anything that
could reasonably have been expected from
the most friendly nation. The article then
expresses qualification that such distn-
gIished officers as Generals Grant and
Meade should hay been sent to the scene,
and says these en- rgetic acts of genuine
friendship will be long cordially remem-
bered. The Fenians are almost entitled to
thanks for having given the Americans an
occasion for displaying their friendshipand
good feeling.

tion by Saxony that Austria and Bavaria
be requested to adopt Immediately such
measures as were necesSitated by the Prus-
| sian invasion.
