GREAT BRITAIN.
LONDO ?. , 1 Jnne 2.—Mr, , Motley, it is
' •
understood, to-day addressed a letter to
Lord Clarendon, Informing him of his
.
arrival in London and officially reptest
, ing the appointment of a day for the
presentation of his credentials. As the
Prince of Wales holds a levee to-day,
Us-morrow has been named as the more
fitting time for the Ministerial intro
duction. •
Mr. Moran, the United States Charge
d'Affeirs, attended the levee Mid was
presented.
The burden of the newspaper articles
published here to-day on the subject of
Mr. Motley's arrival, is generally to the
effect that the writers find in his speech
in Liverpool an indication - of the spirit
-,.... of the instructions given to him by
President Grant.
The , Pali' Mall Gazette boasts that
-- America has backed down before British
pluck, and that under v these circum
stances the arrival of the new Minister
is of great importance, and the best re
• suit they anticipate from Mr. Motley's
e mission is that his datiea will afford
him sufficient leisure to prosecute his
historical studies. , ,
Lorepon, June I.—The S ta r publishes
a highly complimentary article, in which
it says the character of Mr. Motley is in
' itself a sufficient indication that:the Uni
ted States will treat the pending subject
'• honorably, while the presence of Mr.
Bright in the English Cabinet, with Mr.
`c.Gladstone at the bead of the Ministry,
• constitute an equally sufficient guaran
tee that• England loves peace and that a
determination to do justice animates the
MI nlblry. -
The Telegraph thinks that Mr. Motley
will, for the , present, devote 'himself to
the discharge of the ordinary duties of
his office; and that in that capacity be
may consolidate that cordial alliance
which ought to exist between the two
countries. It will be a reproach to Eng
lish politicians and journals , if:for the
sake of pandering to populailirejudice
they throw difficulties ih the way of the
mission of good will and peace which
'. Mr. Motley declares he comes to carry
: • Out, oven to the end.
~-4`be Times understands no new de
,r mend has been addressed. to England.
,-; Ur. Motley enters upon his duties with
-1 out any prospect of controversy, but at
the same time says the English gO7ern
, meet should-examine any new propos
:. aLs and see - at they promiee a just and
equitable solution. If the neutrality
proclamation is -made the subject of
. grievance, we are bound to listen to the
' arguments addressed, though , it is im
• • possible . any good purpose would be
'' served by raising inch discussion.
Notwithstanding the tone. of the Dan
t • don press, says .. the New York-Herald
i ' special, have good authority for saying
~.., that not one of the newspapers have re
ceived the slightest hint or indication of
,•, Mr. Motley's instructions, which I am as
, sured willin the end be found thoroughly
g r . dignified and in firm American tone.
The proceedings in the House of Com
- irons, last-evening, in regard to Canada
and other -British Colonies in North
America., were very interesting. Sir
iatrry, Vetdey, member for Backing
' hatn,ringsired what• the policy of the
GovernmenrWould be toward the Amer
' loan Colonies. I • . - '
i
Mr. Monsell, Under Secretary for the
•1 Colonial Department, replied at length.
While he-deeltned to enter on the gen- ,
eral eUbjeetnf the Colonial Policy of th e
Gkwernmeht, .he Intlipated that part of 1
s. that policy was to throw the cost of self- 1
,c -- defence on each Colony. Mdasures to
-, that end .had' been 'partially taken and
! would - be extended next year. He had
;.- n6' ,. tioubt the arrangement for tho cession
of the Hudson Bay„Company Territory
, would receive the y ratification of the
,i Canadian 41overnment. The question
4 was not one of purcbase only, but also of
f
development, colonization and civilizat„

Lion; which bad hitherto ' been virtually;

the coucluaion of the Postmaster Gen
eral'a reply, the subject was dropped.
,Mr. Moore moved that a special com
mittee be appointed to inquire into the
treatment of untried Irish political prisi,
oners. Mr. Fortescue, Secretary for Ire,
land, . believed complaints made of ill
1 treatment of these prisoners were
exaggerated, but thought the pol
Utical prisoners awaiting their trial
should be held under the supervision
of Government officers and net kept in
county jails. After remarks irom
Messrs. Gray and Maguire, condemning
the present system of holding untried
prisoners in confinement; ;the house di
vided on the motion and refused to ap
point a Committee by a. vote of twenty
against eighty-four...
The Times, reviewing ' the eones
pondence between - the English - and
American governments in the Alabama
claims, &c., says: "Although we were
well well aware of the frankness and de
+ sire for a good understanding which
I characterized two successive British
governments, we know not the lengths
to which conciliation was carried
or how completely it was their
own propositions, their own acts, which
the Americans repudiated through their
Senate.. When we compare the exacting
and critical spirit of America with the
Iconceding temper of England, and come
to consider that all that was yielded was
insufficient to prevent any: treaty,
we deSpaired of the success of any nego
tiation in which England had a due re
gard for her own rights and honor."
A special from Paris says: A splendid
farewell American banquet was given to
General Dix at the Grand Hotel to.ni„tht.
Between three and four hundred per
sous wnte4tactient. Mr. Washburne, the
General's sucleTr, Mr; Burlingame
and. -Mr. Bullo k; of Massackiuceets,
were guests. Mr. Cowdin.of New York,
presided. General Dix. in response to
the toast of his health,.delivered an elo
quent speech, thanking the assembly
for the compliment paid him. He re
viewed the past progress and referred to
the future prospects of their common
Country. Alluding to the completion of
the Union. Pacific. Railtoad, he said it
• realized the Prephilit's dream, and the
great thought of Columbus, by opening
western passage from Europe to the
Indies. In the present century little
more is needed to complete the work.
After alluding to the ambition of the
American people, the General said: We
may trust in Providence for the continu
ance of our national prosperity, if in
our intercourse with foreign States we
conform to those rules of Interna
tional rights and obligations - which
hate received the sanction of the
civilized world, demanding only that
the same maxims of reciprocal
justice shall be sacredly respected
by others, that the high seas shall be re
cognized as a common pathway, and that
nations shall be free from all pretences
of superiority or arbitrary control. In
relation to France, he said there existed
between America and France from the
earliest' period a strong tond of affiance,
which should never be broken. France
came to our aid at a trying period in the
infamy of our country, and during the
very throes of national gestation
she rendered essential aid to Wash
ington by the swords of her sol- -
diens, Rocbambeau and Count De Grazie,
while D'Estainge Truston and Paul
Jones at sea unsheathed their swords in
the cause of independence. Owing to
this, misunderstandings between the two
countries for nearly a century have been
few, unimportant and brief in duration,
leaving no rankling feeling or resent
ments behind. After an eloquentlribute
to the•generosity of Napoleon, and worth
and virtue of the Empress, Gen. Dix re
ferred' to the qualifications of his succes
sor, Mr. Washburee.
Speeches were subsequently made by
Messrs Burlingame, W ashburne, Bullock
and others.

MINISTER MAII ON.
A statement has recently appeared t
information at the State Departut
allows almost conclusively that the
izillan and Argentine authorities, who
control the L 3 Plata below Asuncion,
! intercepted Minister M'Mahon'a dis
patches; that M'Mahon was at Asuncion
on the Ist of April, and after that-he
ascended the river and joined Lopez.
There is good authority for stating the
only information upon this subject pos-,
messed by the Department of State is - that
intelligence reached Rio Janerlo on the
7th of April, of the arrival at Asuncion
of the United States Minister resident to
Paraguay. One account received there
reads as follows: z✓fhe American Minis
ter has escaped from Lopez and is now
under the protection of the Brazilian
authorities in Asuncion."
CONVICT LABOR QUESTION.
It is claimed that the State of Penn-
sylvania has the right to authorize the
manufacture of cigars by .convict labor
era, and this subject has been officially
presented to the Internal Revenue Bu
reau. No decision has yet been ren
dered, but as far as can ,be ascertained
the ruling will be against the claim, for
the reason that if cigars could be thus
manufactured without paving tax, the
distillation of 'whisky might be con-
41neted on the same plan, and the Gov
kernment by this means would be de
prived of a very a large amount of rev
*made.

FROM an Atlanta. (Georgia) dispatch of=
the 29th we learn that Miss Penelope' Ad
kins, daughter of the late Senator Adkins;
publishes an appeal for justice, in which,
speaking of the reports in relation to her
father, she says:
"I hurl back the infamous charges al
leged against my deceased father. 'The
charges consist altogether of vague ru
mors, and if those who make them have
proof. of dissolute conduct against him
sufficient to justify murder for personal
causes;-• let it be produced: They are
well aware that.no private injury to his
assassin caused his murder. They know
av,d feel it in their heats that he was
killed on account of his politics alone,
solely because he was a-Republican. The
murderers are well known and' can be
named, yet no step his been taken to
bring them to justice. I have no recourse
but to appeal to the people of Georgia
and of the nation for retribution upon
them and their secret clan of assassins.
Such an appeal .I he.reby solemnly make."
