were materially lowered in consequence.
The Times and other papers State as pos

House on the 9th of March. On the 9Th, the
following took place in the House Of Lords:
DISPUTE WITH AMERICA.
The Earl Of Mountcashell said, he rose to
nat question to the noble Visconnt opposite,
respecting some information which had it APP

which was of great importance to this country.
That intelligence. he understood. had created
great sensation in the city. aud Fad caused a
fall in the price of the public funds. He al

Maesty's Ministers! 1t was not his inten.
