LONDON, Jan. 8.-Nearly all the journals of
this city have editorial comments this mornino
on the subject of the resolution recently adopt
ed by the United States House of Representa-
dves on equeston of citizenship. The abate-
mene of the British claims and the acceptance
of the American view as expressed in Presi-
dent Johnson'sanuual message, are urged with
! singular unanimity. i94

cent success of the rebels in Chi ma the imperi-

ceived by the Minister OF Foreign Affairs from

rope as a pledge of peace. The faltering man
ner in which Baron Won Goltz was received on
the same day as Minister of Prussia and the
