with a resume of the British foreign

1t must be stated al the outset p"
the note continued, that this govern

upon the Hay Pauncefote treaty, or
upon the Clayton Bulwer treaty. but 1t
is not considered necessary at pres

In Sir Edward Grey's communica-

the canal act infringes on what he
holds TO isw Great fsrfta3aps tres ~

could not have taken cognizance Of
the presidents proclamation fixing the
