LATER FROM THE ATLANTIC SIDE.
Indemnity from England.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE State D'rart.
ment received by last steamer from Europe
important dispatches from our Minister to Eng.
land. There is q strong reason to believe tnat
England will back down from her position on
the pirate Aiubamd and at once agree to quiet
and agreeable adjustment Of the question in
dispute. The temper of the last dispatch from
tho State Department, which emanatcd from
the President himself. was calculated to open
the eyes of the English Government. A gen.
tleman writing from England to gentleman in
this city by the last mai, remarks that the
Queen is our friend, and sho would not allow
Mr.. Russell to take any position that will cause
an estrange,ncnt between the two Governments.
