PROGRESS MADE ny TILE JOINT CoAIAus.
SION.
Tho large and splendid party given by
Earl Dc Grey to the most distinguished
persons IN Washington, both native and
loreign, Is regarded not only as showing
n generous and friendly disposition, but
expressive Of tho approaching conclusion
Of the work Of the Joint High Commis.
sion. and as indicating that the British
portion of It will soon leave this county
for their home, the party last night being
In the nature Of a farewell entertainment
Although the points for asettlement Of
the questions In dispute are agreed upon,
they have not yet been reduced to treaty
or convention form. There is no doubt
that the High Commission have agreed
on the Alabama and other similar claims,
leaving their adjudication and award to
commission otJurists. The question Of
the ownership oil the Island Of Sun Juap
will, probably be submitted TO the arbi.
tration Of some Of the friendly powers.
All the Commissioners, while scrupu.
lously guarding the right and honor Of
their respective countries, have from the
first day Of their meeting shown a dispO.
sltion to accommodate their differences
and TO arrive at such conclusions as will
&c generally satisfactory to the great na.
