LIVERPOOL, Saturday evening, Nov. H.
The pirate Shenandoah has been handed over
to the American Consulate and the Captain
and crew have been engaged to take her to
New Y 1ork.
1t is reported that Italy was about to reduce
her army considerably.
LONDON, Nov. PA supplement to the
London Gazette contains further additional
correspondence between Messrs. Adams and
Russell relative to the departure of cruisers
for the rebels from England. Russell repeats

pare to be old that the United States will abate
no jot of its demands, and will reserve the
right Of enforcing them. But still, when the

bind the two nations together the memories of
war fade into the past, there will be little dis.

will yet be done to bring the dispute to an early
practical settlement, for it IS one which can in
no other way be disposed OF. 1t would be an
eternal disgrace if both governments should
