An Enelith View of the Hesnage.
London, Feb. 1. The Stati
says: "i'resident Cleveland s mes
sage appears to bo wise and states
manlike. As the law stands, it i
quite clear that a large sum could
not be borrowed in Europe, for
there is doubt respecting the presi
dent s jtouity to contract to pay
gold. This would be fatal to any
projected loan. Money can al
ways be had at a price, but tho
government of the United States
cannot act a8 if it were bankrupt,

tho present congress does not
act, it is greatly feared that it will
be too late to appeal to the new
congress, for before it can bo called
together a crisis will probably
have occurred."
