NEW YORK, March 3.-AccOrding
70 Washington correspondents, the
claims set up by Great Britain
for damages sustained by the property
Of Englishmen in the United States
during the war Of the rebellion, and
those Of Canada for injuries sustained
by her citizens during the several
Fenian raids upon her border, will, in
all probability, be insisted upon and
urged in mitigation, at least, of the
Alabama bill. 1t is even intimated
that the total damages from these
sources on the English side will run
up an amount considerably larger
than the total on ours.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The eX-
pulsiOn of Casanova from Havana re-
calls the fact that in the spring of 1869
Consul Hall wrote to the Department
of State that Casanova was connected
with a fillibustering expedition as its
commander. He was released, and
the Consul secured for him a passport
to leave the island. Casanova some
weeks ago procured a passport from
this Government, and returned to
Cuba under the preteXt of attending
to business affairs, but, it is alleged,
with other intentions, which were
made known to the Department Of
State. The subject of this recent ex-
pulsiOn from Havana will, however,
be Investigated.

scored Disraeli, as Shakespeare's lean
apOthecary, whose poverty and not
his will dro ye him to such resources.

jOurnment Of the debate, but Disraeli
and Gladstone both protested against
closing the debate, which caused the
motion to be defeated.
