LoSDoN. May 25.-It rs ascertained tna. he
rumors Of an alliance between France ing

LONDON. May 24.-The journals this MORN

The Tines concludes that Mr.. Motley will
make no fresh overtures IN regard 10 The Ala

10 England. The deadlock might excite ap-
prehension but for the fact that the Americans

from their sentimental grievances.

organ In New York IN sapport OF Its position,
and says whatever wrong happened through
the neutrality proclamation was purely accI-

cool commuDings with conscience on both
sides and let the alleged in iuries be measured
and appraised before the proper tribunal. That
course will open the way for the settle

that the Americans have discovered it.

hitherto existed between the two assemblies,
the steps that have been taken towards re-.
union, and the mutual ad vantage to be derived
from reunion OF the two bodies. This will
probably be the last time, he said, that the
assemblies will be called upon to interchange
elNiltles, inasmuch as in the future they will
both be one. This remark elected spontaneous
applause He proceeded 10 eRlarge upon the
benefits OF reunion, and was frequently inter-
rupted with applause.
Rev. DIR. Musgrave followed in the same
vein. He WAS happy to be present as q dele.

present as simple commissioner of the united
bodies OF the great Presbyterian Church of
