COMMENTS ON THE MESSAGE.

LONDON Dec S.--The Times, in an editorial COM
,ncnting on the message of President Arthur, says
The languishing condition Of the American mercantile
marine is undoubtedly due TO the indirect effect or pro-
tecOn but President Arthur only discovers in 1t reason
for that this branch OF enterprise also has not
been proteced and suggesting that the omission De
repaired tits difficult to how protection can be APP
ped 10 the carrying trade except In the shape OF b0un
ties which WILL however have All advantage as the Pro
teconsts may think of handcappng the foreigner and
absorbing some part of the surplus revenue.
The Daily Neacs in a leading article this morning,
says:
The European Powers have no desire to meddle with
affairs on the American Continent but II is very remote
from meddng for them TO agree together that the
Panama Canal is completed, no war ships shall go
through il in time Of war, and that II shall never DC
closed by any hostile feet against peaceful carg0es
which ii hoped will find their from Europe to the
western Of the American Continent and 10 our
own Australian colonies by that route
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. s.-The NOroe Vremyd ex-
presses indignation at the reference in President
Arthur's message to the representations made by
the United States Government TO Russia on the sub
iect of the Jews 1t says that President Arthur has
departed from the principles OF the American policy
of noninterference in the affairs of foreign cOun-
fries and il remarks that the message does not re-
fer TO England's treatment of Ireland 1t further
saws that President Arthur recently repeled inter
ference in regard to the Panama Canal, but yet
allow himself to Judge Russian affairs, which he
does not understand.
