The Treaty in England.

gratifying account Of the general readiness OF
the British people tc accept and aequiesce in
the new treaty. lie says in the Tribune
.. A few loungers in the clubs, few inyet-
crate partisans of the c1nfcderacy, a single
weekly journal, and one old man in the
House of Lords, mortified by the abandon
ment of his own mischieyous policy, make
up the party Of opposition to the treaty
believe the people Of England are on the
other side" lie does not believe that the
dissatisfaction of Canada will have much in
iuenco in England, but says the treaty VII
stand on it's merits as settlement of the
Alabama dispute In the conversations he
had on the subject with ministers and mem
bers of Parliament, the Canadian part OF
the treaty was only once alluded to. lie
was asked whether Gen. Butler would be
content-not whether Canada would be con-
tent. and though English statesmen would
make any reasonable effort to insure her
satisfaction, he is positive they will not
sacrifice the Alabama treaty to secure re-
vision of the fishery treaty. He adds
suppose It Is scarcely necessary t. say that
the Alabama clause is regarded 10 England
as d surrender to us of all that We have ever
claimed. Nobody attempts to hide that fact.
On the other hand, they look upon our taclt
abandonment; of the claim on account of the
recognition of confederate bclliserenee by
England as an important concession. Per
hars ! may be permitted To add that the
concession. if it be one, is believed IN Eng
land 20 be due to the resolution of the Presi-
dent. and that one member of the Cabinet
spoke to me with much warmth of the sin
cerity which the President had manifested
throughout the negotiations.
In the conversations above mentioned vari-
GUS other interesting things were said, some
