mansion or Secretary Fish. The invaders felt
they had foemen worthy Of their forks, and
cautious sparring marked this round as the
former. On the I'd of March the Commission
ers entered the field for themselves, ''claret"
was drawn in abundance, Chateau LATTE at
that. On the 4th Of March again the Britishers
led of spiritedly; they had called up Sir John A.
Macdonald and Sir Stafford Northcoke as re-
serves, and were determined to 60 in heavily.
On this day for the first time the
white cloth was removed and the diplo-
matte dice were thrown for two hours
on. the green baize. It were a pity to go
through all the bouts seriatim. Not content
with attacking the Commissioners the lords
from Britain had attempted the lives of lead
ing Senators outside the champion American
i've. We shall take up the eleventh round as
sample of the rest The field was taken by
General Grant in person and the White House
was the scene of action. Thirty-six gladiators
entered the festive arena. Who shall picture
the scene and who recount the wonders of
the naenu? 'Clams," said Senator Williams.

A cold sweat stood upon Sir John A. Mac

blow at the fishery question, he felt certain.
Sir Stafford Northcote had just thrown out a
feeler to General Schenck about the Fenians,
when Justice Nelson passed over plate, with
the significant remark, potatoes d rIrland-
ise." The Englishmen were gradually re-
covering their equanimity when the climax
was reached-this was ''bore's head" en-
surprise. By nimble turn of Attorney
General Hoar's fingers, 1t divided in, two

cred. The Britishers rushed home discounted.
This struggle has been going on ever since.

TsLEesAMs TO THE NEW Yoax HERALD.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 81 1871.
His Majesty the Gear Alexander has taken pains
to confer q little further additional mark OF the
imperial favor on Prince GortchakOn by granting
him fresh and hereditary honor.
The Emperor announces that he has conferred
upon the Prince and hs heirs the Cross OF the
Legion OF Honor, as q mark OF his satisfaction at
the settlement by the Prince OF the Eixlne ques-
tion. with vast honor to Russia in the London Con-
ference.
Prince Gortcnakon also receives the title OF Serene
Highness, thus placing him almost an equal with
the members OF the royal family In rank.
The Emperor Alexander has manifested the most
lively regard for Prince G0rtchak0r personally
since the issue OF his famous circular OF October 81
(N Sl 1870, addressed to tine British government on
the subject OF the navigation Of the Black Cea and
the revision OF the Treaty of Parts OF 1855.
This feeling has been encouraged In the mind OF
his Majesty by recent comments botn OF the Rus
sian and English PRESS the subject OF the states
manship OF GOrtchakon during this late and very
serious crisis in the affairs OF the nation.
The Aosco,o Gazette writing again on the
Eastern question: says that .'Russa does not deny
the force OF treaties She does not set her will above
them, and the G0rchakofr note Is no precedent for
any party bound by treaty to violate 1t at pleasure.
On the contrary, Ru STA alone has adhered 10 the
conditions OF the Paris treaty in the strctest manner
and has thus set good example"
The Russian Exchange Gazette does not doubt
but that the issue Of the Gortchakor note was pre-
ceded by the very strctest scrutiny into Its proba
BILE consequence; the despatch is considered most
solemn and dignlied one. and II needs be viii be
supported by Russla's military power. which was
also taken into consideration beforehand.
The Russian government was also pleased at the
comments OF the London press on the effects Of the
note particularly when the tory organ, the Standard
sald:'Russia has got all she desired and disguise
1t as he may, Lord Granville mas eaten the big words
OF November And when the London Post added;
"Russia has obtained all she asked for and that at
q time when the Western Powers are sensiby weak
ened. The means will once more DO afforded to
her Of renewing her aggressive policy against Tur.

TEleGaAMs TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

LONDON, March 81, 1871.
My report Of the proceedings OF the British
Parliamentary session during the sitting yesterday
evening and today prepared for trans mission to the
HERALD by cable telegram is OF quite an interest
ing character and important besdes:-
have TO announce that in the House of Commons
last evening" after the HERALD despatch had been
forwarded, Sir Charles Dike in continuation OF mis-
remarks upon Russa's repudiation OF the treaty of
1885, submitted motion expressive Of regret on
the part of the House that the British government
accepted the proposition for the holding of the late
conference"
Mr. Gilpin concurred both In the remarks and
motion OF Sir Charles Dixie. He asserted that '1t
was not the mission OF England to preserve the
peace Of Europe and advocate q general disarma-
ment"
Lord George Manners continued the attack upon
the Ministers who were defended by Sir Robert
Peel.
After having been severely castgated by the Min
iseralists, Sir Charles Dixie finally withdrew his
motion.
During the session Of the House OF Commons this
evening Mr.. Cochrane conservative moved that
sin the opinion Of the House her MaJestys govern
ment In view Of the existing state Of tranquility in
Europe, should urge Prussia to moderate the terms
OF peace she required Of France"
Mr.. Cochrane said the mere indemnity exacted for
the expenses Of the was equal in amount to one
sixth OF the entire capital Of France and added that
'by her lack OF sympathy with France, England had
lost firm ally without gaining another"
MIR. Peter Hoare conservative seconded the mo-
tion saying that "the payment Of the indemnity to
Germany imposed an additional burden OF fourteen
millions yearly on the French revenues"
Mr. Gladstone replied that "England's conduct was
applauded by all Europe. France was in the wrong
as regards the immediate cause Of the war and
Germany was right, though the latter was not free
of blame IN the affair OF the Duohies. England had
applauded the efforts made for German unity.nt
The Premier said that he regretted the revea-
tions concerning the so.caed Benedetti treaty, and
defended Lord Granvle's policy Of neutrality, and
his course in securing the neutrality OF other
Powers, He tMr. Gladstone believed that 'through
the efforts OF the noble Lord Granville Prussia had
already moderated her TERMS" Mr.. Gladstone urged
the nopport OF the motion, and It with
drawn without further debate.
