Mr. Adams IN bringing the respective claims
OF the two Governments to a settlement-but
to'ascertain the opinion prevailing in England
concerning American finances. Such pur-
pose would strongly attest the pacific DISPOSE

SPAIN AND SOUTH AMERICA ie-.
The Times says the general wish of leading
people in Liverpool seems to be, that England
should, in conjunction with France and Amer

likely TO be adopted in London, Manchester,
Glasgow, and other trading centres.

conduct of Spain must soon occupy the atten-.

America. Spain must be taught that the
