England Accepts American Naturalization View

—LORD STANLY, in the name of the English Government, has made the important announcement that England is ready to accept the American view of naturalization. Heretofore England, like all the European monarchies, has refused to recognize the citizenship of naturalized Americans, and maintained that one born within the limits of the realm remained subject to its laws forever. Hereafter England is willing to abandon, as Prussia and the South-German States have just done, in the treaties concluded with the United States, all claims upon Englishmen who have become American citizens.
