[REUTERS TELEGRAMS.] London, January 1.
The cargo of frozen meat, brought by the steamship Europa, which left Melbourne on October 31, was examined to-day, and found to be in excellent condition, the refrigerating apparatus having worked well during the whole voyage. It has transpired that, in the course of the negotiations which have been proceeding in Paris between the British and French Commissioners regarding the pioposed new commercial treaty, M. 6ambetta finally offered certain abatements on the duties proposed to be levied on British woollens and cottons. The reductions were, however, deemed by the English delegates to be inadequate, and Sir Charles Dilke has, in consequence, returned to London. His colleague (Mr Cross), however, remains to discuss certain technical details of the French proposals. In consequence of the phase which the ti-eaty negotiation? have assumed, it is now generally believed that it is hopeless to look for an agreement beiug arrived at between Eugland and France.
