refuted, and on the others Judgment will be
| passed when CataCazy has full liberty TO pre-.

| on CatacaZy before he renders his version of the
unpleasant tftair. The tone of the whole note
is that of studied nsolcncc. 1t is certain that
| Gortschakof has lost his temper and is eXceS
sively annoyed. Notwithstanding the express
sions of continued amity there is decided cool
| ness in the relations of the two nations.
