crisis. The o. s. Sloop-of-war -Wyan-
dotte had arrived at Calliao, with dispatches
for our minister, instructiDg him to demand
settlement of the claims growing out of
the seizure of the ships Lizzie Thompson
and Georgiana, and provisions for the
settlement OF all outstanding claims of our
citizens. Some delay has been experienced,

to force before the demands would be
complied with. In case Of non compliance
