W4sHrS0ToS, June s.-A formal demand
has been made upon the spanish Govern
ment for the surrend sr Of she rebel ram
stonewsll. OF course 10 answer has vet
been received. The matter goes ahead for

Notwithstanding the indications Of the
British press, It is not the intention Of our
GOvernmeat 70 abandon or in any way ahats
the demand upon Great Britain for DANA
gos done 70 cur eommerce by Anrlo-rebel
pirates. The disbandinG Of q portion Of The
army is no evidence Of eOwardiy policy.

mands on foreign governments, and, il nee
