SIR SAMUEL BAKERS AFRICAN EXPEDITION
THE HOUSE OF COMMoNs-Co- OPERATION
THE FINE ARTS.
tFRoN OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
LONDON, April H. 1859.
Sir Samuel Bakers expedition up the Nile for the
extirpation of the slave trade, lately announced is
to be very genuine thing He goes under com
mission from the Viceroy Of Egypt, who furnishes
men and material and authority without limit Sir
Samuel is created Paeha with absolute jurisdlc-
ton over the e-trading regions. He is to have
300 troops under hiscommand, with steamers and
other fit transportation. What he expects to do may
be Judged from what he has himself written on the
subject in his last book the Nile Tributaries Of Abys-
sinia lie there declared in his usual forcible way
his conviction that the horrible traffic might be
completely destroyed IL may be wondered how Sir
Samuel contrived 10 convert the Viceroy TO his
views since it is by the conniyance of tho Viceroy
that the trade has hitherto been carried on.
Perhaps the answer is to be found in some
Interior objects of the expedition. Its eff
forts will not be confined to the terri
tories of Egypt, The sources of the trade lilo
beyond that the White Nile and throughout
Abyssinia Those countries to be not only puri-
fed but occupied and annexed to Egypt which has
long coveted them. Nor has the great explorer lost
sight of his former projects Destroying the various
depots Of the slave dealers ~ lie advances he will
push steadily till he reaches the Albert Nyanza

MR.. CONWAY AND THE PAIL MALL GAZETTE

the following letter from Mr.. Conway:
SIR: May l. without undertaking the advocacy OF the
American charges against England, respond to your
challenge far IL institutes parallel between the
attitude Of the United States toward spain In the matter
Cuba and that of England toward the United states IN
the matter OF the Southern Confederacyt
The gravamen OF the American charge 10, that their
Government having passed Into the hands OF new Ad-
minstratIon. and thereupon rebellion having broken
out that rebellion conceded beigerent rights by
England without waiting for the arrival or representa-
lions OF the American Minister then his way 70 this
country. That. IL IL charged hasty recognition,
and indicated unfriendly annus toward the United
States.
The other case is that though the Instruction in Cuba
had acquired imposing dimensions, the American Govern
ment not only awaited the arrival OF the Spanish Min
iser but yet recognized either the begerency or
the Independence of Cuba But the House OF Representa-
tves, you say, has expressed It's sympathy with Cuba.
and that Is hostility to Spain. OF course 1t Isl and the
House Of Representatives has perfect right TO express
its sympathy with any cause and ts dislike OF any GOV
eminent But IL must not profess that such expressions
consistent with friendship AS understand it, the
English Government claims 70 have done nothing un:
friendly TO America. do not learn that the House or
Representatives has dsowned its detestat0n OF that
miserable combination OF expressions in Cuba which the
Provisional Government Of SPAN. In their soeude con-
cernlug monarch has not as yet even promised to
