" YORK, Oct. 24.-The Times Washington

NEw YORK. Oct 24-The Times Washington
special says;
In regard to our affairs with England growing
out of the depredations during the late war OF the
privateers Alabama and Shenandoah Mr.. Adams
our minister to the court OF st. james was some
time since instructed TO make permptory demand
for indemnity for the loss sustained by our COM
mercaI interests To this demand r.Adams
ceived an evasive reply. He was Immediately
instructed to repeat the demand. He did so but
no definite response has yet been received; but
the tone of the English newspapers recently re-
ccivcd indicates that these renewed and perss-
tent demands have not beeD without effect
The British government Is now putting out feel
ers in their various organs showing their dlspo-
sition in the matter. From these 1t appears
that they are willing to put the claims TO arbl-
tration or to award of national commissioners.
Our government will accept no arrangement OF
this sort but will insist a prompt and full
eavment of the claims This is our alternative
as contained in instructions under which Mr..
Adams is now acting.
The Times Washington special says:
The attitude of this government toward MeAi-
co and condition of affairs in that country
previously communicated TO you is fully confirm
ed.
The French government here asked for a de-
lay of the time for the withdrawal of the first in
staIlmcnt of their troops until the 1st of Jan
uary with the promise that If this time is granted
it will wave the time allowed for the removal of
the remaining detachments and remove all sub
stantiallv at time. To this our government
has not assented but insists that the Withdrawal
shall commence at once and proceed vigorous
" as possible. In case of anarchy our govern
ment will sustain the Juarex government and, in
consideration of services rendered, Lower Cal
ifOrnia and the northern portions OF SInaioa and
Chihiuha will be ceeded to the United States.
1t is no part of the agreement yet made that tho
United States is to guarantee the claims of France
against Mexico; though such 4 course may yet ap-
pear expedeut and proper in which the govern
ment of this country viii hesitate TO take the
sponsibility. The main point sought is to enforce
the Monroe doctrine by removing European inter
vention from Mexican affairs and securing to that
country stable, republican form of government
The responsibility Of this undertaking has been fully
discussed by the cabinet and the decision has been
unanimously arrived at that the time has come Tor
the energetic action in the proceedings above fore
shadowed These proceedings have now taken def
mite form and shape and have entered far into
execution as to he beyond recall.
