tlon Of Pais Of 1856 aboiishins prvateering.
Earl Cowper thought the refusal Of tie United

Its reputation by Great Britain.
The Earl OF Malmesbury denounced tho conycn.
tlon and quoted the opinions pronounced against
it by the late Earl OF Derby and Sir G. Cornwall
Lewis.
The refusal OF the American government to ad-
here to the agreement made 1t worthless. He
sharply criticised the Prussans for their disregard
Of private property and their outrageous requist-
lions during the late war.
Earl Granville declared that 1t was not within the
power or England to repudiate treaty which had
been signed by all the great Powers Of Europe.
THE PURCHASE SYSTEM AND THE TORIES.
At Q caucus to-day OF the tory members OF the
House of Lords 1T decided to oppose the aboli-
ton OF the purchase system IN the army. and to
accept the Ballot bill. The position OF the govern
ment Is extremely unstable.
