Ihe AIahama Correspondenec

WASHINGTON, December 22.-Mr.
Fish, on May 18th, wrote Mr.. Motley
that the Government, in rejecting the
recent Convention, abandoned neither
its own claims nor those Of its citi-
gems, nor the hope of an early, salts
factory and friendly settlement of the
questions pending between the two
Governments. Upon one point che
President, Senate and an oYerWhelm-
ingl mass of the people are con-
vinced, viz: That the Convention,
from its character or terms, or from
the time of its negotiation, or from
the circumstances attending Its pegO-
tions, would not have afforded real,
substantial satisfaction to the people.
1t would not have proved hearty,
cordial settlement of the pending ne
gotiations, but would have left feel
ing of dissatisfaction, inconsistent
with the rel ations which the President
desires to have firmly cstablised be-
tween two great nations of common
language, or In common language and
objects, in the advancement of the
civilization of the age. The Presl-
dent believes the rejection of the con-
/ vention to have been in the interest
/ Of peace and In the direction Of a
more perfect and cordial friendship
/ between the two countries, and Ia
/ this belief he fully approved the ae-
/ ton of the Senate. That action is
/ quite recent, and has been the cause
/ of some excitement aud popular
discussion on both sides of the
Atlantic, aud, it Is possible,
I of some little disappointment;
- - % ~ Enylnnd Tha
tone Of the press and proclaimed
opinion of sone public men, in each
country, suggest that the present Is
the most hopeful moment to enter
| upon renewed discussion OF either oi
the objections to the lately proposed
convention. or the basis OF renewed
negotiation. A suspension OF the
discussion Of these questions for a
short time will allow the subsidence
Of the excitement growing out of the
negotiation or rejection OF the treaty
and will enable the two Governments
to approach moro readily solution O
their great differences, but in commu
nicating with Lord Clarendon you
will be particular to assure him tha
the desire on our part is that tht
suspension be limited to the shortest
possible time consistent with Its OBJ
ject.
The President hopes Her Majesty
Government will view the proprietl
of the suspension in the same light il
which he proposes it as wholly IN tn
interest and solely with the view t,
