A London special, dated May 22, says i "The English papers continue to discuss the Treaty of Washington and the supplementary article thereto with undiminished interest. Their editorials are generally inspired by a desire to preveut a failure of the arbitration and save the treaty. An article, in a contrary sense, in the Pall Mall Gazette, to-night, says that the whole drift of feeling and opinion in England justifies it in saying that tbe worst thing to do with the treaty is to save it. 4 Saving the treaty, (it says) ' means offense and humiliation to America or England, or both nations. It means a renewal and not an abatement of the ill feeling which it was intended to allay. How to save the treaty means who shall eat the leek, or whether means cannot be invested whereby both parties shall agree to eat it in each other's presence. The American papers appear to exclaim against the adoption of the supplementary article Here there is only ene opinion, and its ac

ceptance would be discreditable and dangerous. Both people would be pacified and content at once If the treaty and the negotiations connected therewith were dropped as an irremediable blunder for which the two Governaients are alone to blame. That is the proper fate ot tbe treaty, and the only safe and peaceful way of disposing of it.' The last Carlist band in Lerda, Spain, numbering three hundred, surrendered Wednesday.
