SIR JULIAN'S ANSWER.

A great deal of sympathy is felt for, Deacon, not only by the members of the American colony, but by the authorities, which is evinced by the fact that he was not taken to prison, but allowed to pays the night in his room at the hotel. It is generally believed that he will not remain long In custody. It is reported that United States Minister Feld has reken an active Interest in his casa and is doing all he can for him.

One report of the affair says that Deacon had gone up to Pal, but returned suddenly and went Desight to his wife's room. Mrs. Deacon, t Lappeurs, had no idea, that her husband would return on. Rumor has it that Deacon's unexpected return was caused by an anonymous letter and to have been written by a jealous

woman,

On all bands and for many reasons, it will be at once recognised what a valuable reform this constitutes in the political relations between this Crown Colony and the Home Government. It removen a deteriorating morst influence to which hencurable and distinguished Colonial officials have been hitherto exposed, in their compulsory utterance of a dictated opinion utterly at variance with their convictions and at which their consciences revolted. It makes it unnecessary to attempt to dismiminate between official voter that are free and official votes that are forced. A Governor and the members of his Executive Council may now call their souls their own and hald up their heads among honest men.

In 'consequence of this, and gives a recital of the obligation imposed upon the North American Company in return for the sealing privilege, that they should be allowed to take a limited number of seals, contrary to the claim of Great Britain, that sealing should be absolutely prohibited on both sides, and submits terms of agreement on this basis,
