In connection with this matter special ccrespon-
dent reiterates that after the American Minister, Alb
bott Lawrence had clearly demonstrated tothe Bri-
tish from their own archives that they had title

these points were injudicously abandoned by Secre-
tary Clayton in his treaty with Sir H. Buwer. The
publication Of Mr. Lawrence's despatch on the sub

formerly confined their operations, for the most
part, to Rochester Syracuse and some other favored
portions of this State; but at last the Empire City
itself has yielded to them. "Cataline is at the
gates" or, rather, the Amazons are within the
walls, and it seems that, having once got into pos
session, they determined not to surrender their
advantageous position. Mrs. Boomer Of Lin aud
