LONDON, July 29.-The act passed. Ny
Congress for the protection OF American
citizens abroad is unfavorabiy criticizeo
by the English press. Although itspas-
sage does not appear to excite surprise
or anger, these journals affect to con-
slider that it is bill of partisan meas
ures, and gotten up for effect on the
elections; but they think that it VIII
not promote the success of the American
negotiations with foreign powers 10 Sc
cure the establishment of principles OF
nationality.
PARIS, July 29.-The Corps Legislatif
closed its session yesterday.
LONDON, July 29.-The Times says
the passage of the American citizen act
will surprise no one. 1t was to be ex-
pected that the majority of the United
States Congress would make, through
such measure as this, q direct bid for
the Irish vote in the coming election
There is nothing in the general princi,
pie of the bill for England to deny OF
oppose. Irishmen who have taken out
their naturalization papers in the
United States may properly use Ameri,
can passports while travelling in
Europe, or serve in the armies of the
United States, even against Great
Britain, SO long as their new citizenship
is bona fide qualification made in &C
cordance with the American naturaliza
ton laws. Nothing can be said but
that the real purpose of the Fenian ii
protected by the new citizenship thu:
conferred on him to make war upon the
Queen of England in her realm, but
here they must be treated as subjects
gSilty of treason. Aliens and natives
are on the same footing in such case
The denial Of jury mediate
"lingua" in the trial of the
Jacamal Packet prisoners was
right because the trial of such case al
that depended on international laws
The evidence obtained in the United
States against those persons to prove
that they were members of the Fenian
Brotherhood was merely collateral
The real crime charged against these
men was committed ON British territory
The Times even accepts the rule that
naturalized citizen of the United States
may come to England with IMMUNITY
after plotting against the Queen il
America, if he come peaceably.

received any monies belonging to the
Government of the United States.
