quis of Salisbury asked IT, in view of the evident dislike
of Canadians TO the Treaty of Washington, the Gov
eminent intended TO press its ratification before the l2h
OF June.
The Earl Of Iauderdale quoted the report by the Az

ton into the surreptous means by which IL had peeh oD
tanned for publication Hence 1t should be submitted 10
Parliament 1t was impossible to anticipate the decision
Of the Senate Lord Granville declined TO pledge the
Government to refusal to ratfy the Treaty before

Earl Grey said that diplomacy was impossible IL II
