FROM WA 2HINGTON,
A Prompt and Full Payment of nj
Claims demanded.

A Prompt and Full Payment of all
Claims Demanded.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The Times Wash
ington special says, in regard to our affairs
with England, growing out of the depre-
dations during the late war of the priva-
teers Alabama and Shenandoah: Mr..
Adams, our Minister to the Court OF ST..
james, was some time since instructed to
make peremptory demand for indemnity
for the loss sustained by our commercial
interests. To this demand Mr.. Adams re-
ceived an evasive reply. He was immedi-
ately instructed to repeat the same. He
did so, but no definite response has yet
been received, but the tone of the English
newspapers recently received indicates that
these renewed and persistent demands have
not been without effect. The British Gov
ernment Is now putting out feelers in their
various organs, showing their disposition
In the matter. From these it appears that
they are willing to submit the claims to
arbitration or to Board of National Com
missioners. Our Government will accept
no arrangement of this sort, but will insist
on prompt and full payment Ofthe claims.
This Is our ultimatum, as contained In the
instructions under which Mr.. Adams is now
acting.
Our Mexican ReIRtiOns-The French
10 EVacuate immediately.
The attitude of the Government toward
Mexico, and the condition of affairs in that
country as previously communicated to
you, is fully confirmed. The French Gov
ernment have asked for delay of the time
for the withdrawal of the first instalment
of their troops until the 1st of January.
If the time is granted it will waive the
time allowed for the removal of the remain
ing detachments and remove all substan-
TALLY at the same time. To this our Gov
ernment has not assented, but insists that
the withdrawal shall commence at once
and proceed as rapidly as possible. In case
of anarchy our Government will sustain
the JuareZ Government, and in considera
ton of services rendered Lower Cali
fornia and the northern portions OF Sinaola
and Chihuahua will be ceded to the United
States. 1t is no part of the agreement yet
made that the United States Is to guarantee
the claims of France against Mexico, though
such course may yet appear expedient
and proper, in which case the Government
Of this country will not hesitate to take the
responsibility. The main point sought is
TO enforce the Monroe doctrine by remov-
ing European Intervention from Mexican
lffairs and securing to that country stable
Republican form of government. The re-
'pOnsibility of this undertaking has been
ully discussed by the Cabinet, and the de-
,ision has been unanimously arrived at that
the time has come for the energetic course
indicated in the proceedings above fore
'hadowed. These proceedings have now
raken definite form and shape, and have
entered so far into prosecution as to be be-
yond recall.
