Washington, Sept. 90,
We yesterday paid visit to the
Board of Commissioners for de,ermiu-
ing Claims under the Spanish treaty.
They are handsomely accommodated
IN apartments prepared for them in the
building lately temporarily occupied
by Congress. Most Of the gentleoen
OF the bag from distance have return,
ed hoRe, the Arguments on the contes-
ted points being sppoini,d 10 take place
al a future sitting of the Court. Be-
side these gentlemen, there are Others
who are extensively engaged as agents
for claimants. Among these we OBJ
served yesterday Gen. John Mason,
Mr. Caldwell, cad MIR. John Law, act
lag IN That capacity.
The Court. as il may be truly called,
having SO many important points of
law, rs well as fact, to decide, has been
enSa ged, since the 10th inst. in the
examination Of memorials, with a view
10 the reception of them for examiua.

ieet, as we understand it. a decision
favorable to the principle of the claim,
aid leaving The evidence in support of

~ be conceived how Eoauy, AID how
difficult questions present themselves
ut the threshold OF this investigation.
The most diilieull, aud perhaps the
most importaat as II their effect on the
claims. are those which grow out Of in.
surance. We neatd eno2gh yesterday,
in u few minutes, 10 convince US that
very many claims will be preferred
which mus iney ably be- rejected

ted on the FIRST blush.
Tie Board vii! rise this week. II is
expected, after examining ali memoir
ais presented previous TO The 18th in t.
They will then adjourn for a time TO
give further opportunity TO the claim

of the present session, we will endeay

count Of the proceedings which have
occurred, and are now taking place.
