Bkrun, Dec. 16. Although the newspapers are disposed to let bygones be bygones, and to discuss improvements in foreign relations, there are many protests against the Government’s concealment of facts.

He adds that as far as is known the system of press inspiration will continue iu the future as hitherto. Nkw York, Dec. 15.
