The Herald special from Geneva, 18th,
says another very long day has been
passed by the. agents and counsel of the
two contracting powers. From an early
hour this morning, they have been en-
gagged in q long consultation. Last
night, the Americans had arranged some
pleasant excursions; with an early start
this morning; but at late hour, both
sides received important dispatches,
which caused q postponement of the
trip. Shortly before 10 o'clock, Sir
Ropdell Palmer visited Mr.. Evarts. and
reported. Atalater hour this afternoon,
Evarts had long consultation with the
British counsel, at the Hotel des Ber-
gues. In fact, the British agent and
American counsel have been fully occu-
pied not only in seeing each other, but
IN receiving and forwarding long de-
spatches. 1t is evident that unless the
counsel on both sides come to some
agreement tonight, acting upon instruo-
tions of their Governments, the court
will again meet on Wednesday, pro
forn'd. and be requested once more to
adjourn. In the: event, IL will not 10
surpriaing to- hear of an adjournment
for several days; because the agents of
both parties find that the interval of one
day does not give sufficient time for the
transmission OF telegraphic dispatches,
and In this respect, the Americans are OF
greater disadvantage. as their oommu-
nications must be sent to London and
then. to Washington. Both Govern
ments receive the beat of assistance from
the Swiss and French telegraph direc.
tors. It is not improbable that an ad-
journment will enable one or both sides
to surrender sheir ground. or consent to
certain notifications, which could not
have been done before, without exposing
themselves to o charge of having given
way to the dictation of opposite sides.
1t is very evident that efforts are being
made to adjourn until next week, in
hopes that Granville and Fish may in
the meantime arrive at some understand.
