sion.

to-day views with mixed feeling the
appointment Of the Commission. The
settlement OF one tangible grievance, it
says, is desirable, but unhappily treaty
ha, already been rejected by the Amer
lean Senate, indicating but slight
desire on the part of America to re-
move the ground Of difference between
the two countries. When the principle
of the Alabama claims is determined
individual claims will be easily ad-
justed. The Times adds that the tone
of the American discussion must change
in all respects if good feeling is to be
restored between America and England.

depends entirely upon the temper OF
the French Assembly towards the Prus-
sian demands as regards the cesson of
territory, a money indemnity and the
dismantling OF the French fortresses on
the border Of Germany.
