progress of the Commissioners of this Country and
the United States of America, appointed to decide
on the respelive claims made by the individuals of
the two countries, are happily removed.

The Government of the United States have
agreed to pay a specific sum to the British Govern-
ment, which we understand to be z 00,0001.,
and which is to satisfy' all the old long pending
claims by British Subjeas on the Individuals of that
Country. 'British Claimants havo how, therefore,
to apply for restitution to their owQ,Government.
The American Claimants, also, for, the captures by
British Cruizers are, by the present: adjustment, al_
lowed to proceed as provided by the last Commer-
cial Treaty between the two Countries, and justice
will therefore be rendered them, on duly,substan-
tiating their losses.
The demand made by British SubjeCts on the
United States was above a million sterling. As
that Government( is now released by paying only
two hundred thousand pounds, it is conceived that
the bargain is very favourable to America'.
