e from Washington says that formal demar
. has bsen made upon the Spanish Governmc
o for the surrender of the Stonewall. OF cours
'r no answer has yet been received. The ma
Of ter goes to Spain for decision.

Is British press, ii is not the intention OF o
u Government to abandon, or in any way abat
ie the demand upon England for damages to o
commerce by the Anglo-rebel pirates.
The disbanding of a portion Of the army
no evidence of cowardly policy. Enoul
will be retained to enforce any demands up
IS. foreign Governments, and, if necessary, t
u. veterans mustered out can easily be summo
ne ed back to the field

a have already been taken for the enforceme
Mt of the Monroe doctrine, and notification serv
nd upon Napoleon that, since we have settled Q
lis own family affairs, we will not submit to l

it. |neighbor, Mexico, and plain intimation Civ
ty. that Napoleon must not only send no me
IN. troops into Mexico, but must withdraw t
- French and Austrian troops now there, a
81 leave the people of Mexico to decide for the
- selves whether they will have an empire o.
republic. Otherwise it will be our duty to {
let that the republicans have fair play.
