Minister Motley Presents His Gre
dentIaTs to the Court of st. James
To-day.
AspIendId Banquet to Gen. Dix.

Splendid Banquet to Gen. Dix.
NEW YORK, June 2.
The Rerald's London special says:
Mr., Motley, 1t is Understood, to day
addressed letter to Lord Clarendon,
announcing his arrival in London, and
officially requesting the appointment
of a day for the presentation of his cre-
dentials. AS the Prince OF Wales holds
a leyee to-day, tomorrow has been
named as the most convenient time for
the Ministerial introduction.
Mr.. Moran, the U. S. Charge d AJ-
fairs, attended the levee, and was pre-
sented.
The burden of the newspaper article
published here to.days on the subject
Of Mr.. Motley's arrival, is generally to
the effect that the writers find In his
speech in Liverpool an indication of
the spirit of the obstruction given to him
by President Grant.
The Pail Mall Gazette says that Amer
lea has backed down before British
pluck, and that under theHa circum-
stances the arrival OF the new minister
is OF slight Importance, and the best
result they anticipated from Mr.. Mot
ley's mission, Is that his duties will
afford him sufficient leisure to execute
his literary works.
The HerdLd's special says a splendid
banquet was given to Gen. Dix to. night,
between three and four hundred per-
sons we're present. Washburne the
Generals successor Burlingame and
Bullock of Mass, were present.
Mr.. Cowden, of New York, presided.
Gen. Dix, in response to the toast of
his health, delivered an eloquent
speech, thanking tho assembly for the
mpliments paid him. He reviewed
the past progress and spoke of pros
poets for the future of their common
country, alluding to the completion of
the Pacific Railroad said it realizes
of Columbus by opening the Western
passage from Europe to the Indies, In
The present little more is needed to
complete the work. After alluding to
the ambition OF the American people
the General said: 1--WE may trust in
Providence for the continuance of our
national prosperity, If in our inter~
to those rules of international rights,
and the obligations which have receiv-
ed the sanction of the civilized world,
demanding only that the same maxtms
of reciprocal justice shall be sacred
ly respected by others that the
as a common pathway, and that ma
tions shall be free from all pretensions
of superiority or arbitrary control. In
relation to France, he said there existed
between America and France from the
earliest period in our history, bond
which should never be torn. France
came to our aid at a trying period in
the infancy of the country, and among
the very throes of national CESSATION.
She rendered essential service to WASH
ington by the swords of her soldiers,
Rochamb!an and Count De Grassie,
while Destangue, Truxton and Paul
Jones, at sea unsheathed their swords
In the cause of independence.
Speeches were subsequently made by
Messrs. Burlingame, Washburne, Bull
lock and others.
