CLAIMS UNDER THE SPANISH
TREATY.

The New York Evening Post Of Mon
day says, letter received this morning,
from source that can be implicitly relied
upon, contains the following interesting
and important information respecting Anne
rican claims under the Spanish treaty, as
determined upon by the commissioners.
1st. The commissioners under the Spa
nish treaty, in session at Washington, have
determined that claims orig mating in con-
tract with the government of Spain. or the
colonies, for supplies furnished, do no'
constitute claim under the treaty.
end. All claim. arising on account OF
ssels captured by French priyateers. car
ried into Spanish ports, and afterwards
condemned by French tribunal, sitting
in French territory, are rejected.
3rd. They have rejected all claims for
seizures made by French authorities at St.
Sebastiaps, and other ports in the South OF
Spain.
4tb. They have also rejected all claims
for consequential damages.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

| Among the petitions presented this
morning were several by MIR. Stewart,
from the citizens Of the state of Penn
sylvania, praying for the aid of Con
gress towards the improvement of the
navigation of the Potomac, also, a me
mortal from certain citizens of Dorches-
ter, Mass. against the passage ola bank
rupt law:
| Mr.. johnson, of KY. from the com.
mittee on the Post Office and Post
Roads, reported unfavorably upon the
petition of Erastus Granger; which re-
port was, on motion of Mr. Conckling
laid on the table.
| Mr.. Cannon rose to call the attention
Of the house to a resolution submitted
by him some weeks ago, and now lying
on the table. 1t would be recollected,
he said that, on the reduction of the
army by Congress at the last session,
different organic alton had been given
to it by the Senate than was proposed
by large majority ofthe house-which
change. he believed, would not have re
ceived the sanction of a majority of the
house, bat for the lateness of the period
at which the bill, with this amendment,
was returned from the Senate The
difference of the expense of maintain
ing the military establishment as at
present organized, Mr.. C. said, was
| vastly greater than it would have been
if otherwise organized He had, for
the information of the House, made an
estimate, not only Of the amount of pub
lie money which would be saved by re-
organizing of the army, but also of the
probable number Of officers that would
be discharged if the army should be
re-organlzed according to the resolu
ton which he had moved, and now
meant to call up. Mr.. G. here proceed
ed to state that, should Congress pursue
the course which he proposed, the total
number of officers of each grade disban-
ded, including both Infantry and Artil-
lery, and excluding the General Staff,
would be-

of D.500 each per annum.

officers over the number which would
be necessary when the army was pro-
perly organized. The whole amount
per annum saved by this rs-organiza-.
ton, would be D. 42S, 247 &c, leaving out
of view the reduction of the General
Staff, which, if included bya proper
tionate reduction, or that fixed on by
the House last session, would augment
