time the NJ oitration counsel have preserved the
siTic.est silence, Lot only with regard 20 the

The prospect OF success or failure. This day "
the Grst occasion on which both sides thought II
nicG'e The highly-important fact that AZ the
meeting Of the court on Thursday business will
nave reaehsd such state that the srbitrators
val 6e an POSITION, and are expected, 20 give
a positive decision altogether in favor Of the
preservation of the treaty. All the representa-
lives on whom. called to-day are in excellent
spirits, and did not hesitate TO express the cont
cent expectation that the result OF the sitting
Thursd y would be satisfactory. Doubtless
therefore, both governments have disco vered
some common ground OF agreement. The bust

that there Is little doubt but IL will en-
able tie court, after having replied 70 the

upon tie questions at issue. The Queens mes
sengers brought dispatches to Lcrd renterden
this morning corresponding in importance 20
those which the American agent received OF.
SATURDAY., and which were at once communi-
Gated TO the English government. During the
early part Of the day the representatives Of the
two coGaIcies visited each other, and 80 far
agreed up the business to be brought before
