Mr. Gladstone on Thursday requested Sir H. Bulwer to with-

draw his notice to call attention to recent negotiations with America. The Government of Washington "thought it desirable that some interval should elapse, in reference to the state of feeling in that country, before any negotiations on the subject should be resumed. He was inclined to think that it was their duty to con- cur in that sentiment of the Government of the United States." Sir H. Bulwer did not concur in Mr. Gladstone's view, being evidently desirous to press his own, which is, that negotiation should be re-opened, and re-opened at Washington ; but he of . course withdrew, in deference to Government. It is stated in America that Mr. Motley has had a long interview with the Premier, the result of which was unsatisfactory.
