visiting that vessel were presented to
him. The Emperor Don Pedro visited
the Russian flagship, and was received

After the arrival here of Prince Iva.
kura and the Embassy of which he is
chief, it became apparent that the in-
structions they had received from their
Government were not fully used to the
requirements Of the new order OF things,
and it was determined to ask for further
instructions from home. The return Of
Governor Ito from Japan will remove
any difficulty now in the way Of max
ing the treaty with Japan as liberal as
our Government desires. Governor Ito
is the bearer of most liberal instruc-
tions from his Government.

The action OF the British Ministry
in laying before Parliament the CORES
pondence between the two Governments
relative to the Alabama claim contro.
versy, would seem to invite similar pro-
ceeding on the part of this Government,

can be prepared, give to the press the
dispatches bearing on the pending svp-
Elemental article, with it's exact text as
appended by the Senate, which has not
