KING JoHANNEz TREATY CLAIM FOR CALL ON
ar0ETtN a-. ENGLAND.
The King of Abyssinia, in making his ap-
peal to the Queen of Great Britain relies on,
or reverts to, an African right to do so as it
existed previous to Her Majesty's war against
Theodorus, holding perhaps, the theory that
the relations between the countries reverted to
their original condition after the conclusion of
the latest trouble ct Magdala.
The diplomatic facts which afford reason for
this point of view are as follows:-In the year
1848 Mr. Plowden was sent from England to
Massowah with commission as British Consul
in Abyssinia. In some twelve months time he
concluded treaty of commerce with one Of
the Abyssinian rulers, who is described in the
paper as His Majesty of Abyssinia. In this
treaty His Majesty of Abyssinia undertook to
do very many things for the advancement Of
British commerce with Abyssinia, and Queen
Victoria undertook to do just as much for
Abyssinian commerce with England.
This treaty bears date November 2, 1849. 1t
was not, however, laid before Parliament un til
the month of June, 1852.

General Sir E. Russell, the Queens Resident
at Alden, thus - r-,-o
