THE VENEZURLAN IMBROGLIO.
Reater has certainly been very liberal In the length of his message dated London, the 21st June, received here about 445 p.m. yesterday. We fully expected to find the contradiction of the report about the confilet in the debateable territory on the borders of "British Gulass and Venezuela. It was of American origin, and that alone was sufficient to throw doubt on it. At the same time it is possible that this Venezuelan trouble may, at any moment, come, to a head in the form of a conflict between the contending parties on the disputed fronder. Such a conflict may be in its origin purely accidental. On the other hand it may be deliberately provoked by angry Venezue lans, or by filibustering Americans. By Americans, we mean subjects of the
