WAsnINGroN, June l6.-Our readers will pc
ruse with interest the correspondence which we
this day present TO them, between Mr.. Secretary
Clay and Baron De Krudener by which it will APP
pear that claims of American citizens, amounting
TO more than two hundred and fifty thousand rou-
bies, originating az far back 1907, have been
finally liquidated and paid by the Russian Govern
ment. Its circumstance OF particular grathca-
ton that this act of justice springs directly from the
Emperor, who personally examined the claims,
and overruled the previous decision Of his tri
bunals against them. That examination he was
Induced to make, in consequence Of representations
made by MIR. Clay TO the Baron Mattz, and by
Mr.. Middleton to the Russian Ministry. An
rangcnent was made between The late Baron de
Tuyl and MIR Clay, by which another claim of an
American citizen, amounting L. considerable
sum, was admitted and paid by the Russian Gov
! ernuient. We allude 10 the of the Pearl.
While on the subject Of American claims on TO-
reign Governments, we cannot pass by the fact
that Mr. Wheaton has recently obtained from the
Government of Denmark satisfaction for one class
sand dollars. Aud, il the whole amount Of Amer
can claims OH that Government has not yet been
obtained, we are persuaded that the delay Is as
cribabe 1.-THE condition oil its finances, rather than
to any want Of a sense of justice.
We wish that could add that other foreign
Powers, from which American citizens have been
long seeking, throug n their Government, Just in
demnity, had manifested the Just disposition
with the Emperor of Russia and King of Denmark.
We cannot hut hope that the crcum .tances which
have hitherto delayed the satisfaction which is DUE
will yield to OF justice, and the ,pect
which belong, TO ths United States. We shall be
most happy to be able To announce such AN issue
Of ouf negotiations with those Powers. Nat. int.
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and the Rail-
fo'dd.-These two great undertakings, which
ought to travel on tremendously together, it there
be room Tor both, seem 10 be in some danger Of
coming in collision. Nay, we may say, they ha We
already come in collision, and the spark has been
struck out. We refer by this figure to the tenn
per shown by our Baltimore friends, at measure
winch has been found necessary to protect the un-
doubted rights OF the Canal Company from being
iniringed upon by the agents of the Rail Road
Company, so as to subject the former - inconveni-
ence, at least III tracing the route of the Canal.
The general facts of the are these: In the
latter part OF the week before the last Information
reached the city, through various channels, that
agents of the Rail Road Company were busy en-
gagged inpurchasng land titles to the difficult pass
es along the Potomac, and suminoning juries to
condemn those which could not be otherwise
OF anticipating the Canal Company in its operations
This fact was formally confirmed by resolutions
passed at public meeting in Cumberland, and for
wsrded to this City, inviting the immediate inter-
POSITION Of the Canal Company, to prevent further
proceedingsof this nature, which, if they had no
other effect would at least tens to throw doub; up
on the prior right of the Canal Company TO pur-
chase or procure the condemnation of such ground
as might be necessary for the site OF the Canal
upon receiving this information, measures were
promptly taken by the agents of the Company to
arrest these proceedings, by obtaining the services
OF an eminent professional gentleman to proceed to
! ashington County, upon whose application, after
ascertaining the actual necessity for it, inunc-
ton was granted against the Rail Road Company.
and Its agents, to stay these proceedings and, also,
directing the Sheriifs of Frederick, Washington,
and Ailegany counties, to refrain from summoaing
jnries TO condemn lands &c. Sc. Here, for the
present, the matter rests. Its a source of regret
that the suspicion of hostility to the Canal arising
from the first nfor nation of these proceedings,
should md any continuation in the tone of the

Jens'ce legal proceeding The friends of the Canal
