DEMAND FOR DAMAGES AT GREYTowN.-
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune writes:
''Lord Napier came here with four or
five millions of claims against our Govern
ment for the destruction of alleged property
of British subjects at the bombardment of
Greytown. Two weeks before the late
Administration went out M. sartiges pre-
ferred similar demands on behalf of French
subjects, requesting Mr. Marcy to leave
them open for adjustment by his successor;
but he prepared a reply which is regarded
as conclusive against our liability, and Lord
Napier, feeling its force and bearing upon
England in its application to Copenhagen
and Canton, will withhold his intended
reclamations."
