received the udmatum Of the government of Grsat Br

the Senate for ratification and that all the dsulss a,A
disputes growing out Of division of that territory
would be amicably arranged in less than sixty days
These reports have had favorable effect upon the stock
market and In connection with news from the army Of
occupation the Rio Grande have doubt produced
the improvement in prices but hardly reconcile
such an advance to such cause. It d possible Mr. Pa

these, the two governments would approach each
