The settlement of these questions, which have engaged the attention of the statesmen of both countries for alengthly period, should ho received with equal gratification hy the colonies. The amour propre of so susceptible a people as the French, was wounded in a great pleasure hy the impatience of the people in Australia, whose want of diplomacy caused an amount of irritation, that created a strain in the relations between England and France, already endangered by affairs in Egypt, and made the ultimate conclusion of the negotiations more difficult of attainment.
