FROM WARRINGTON,

Among the Warrington special despatches
to the Boston Advertiser of yesterday were
| the following: &
The SENTIMENT OF THE HOUSE UPON THE
| ALABAMA CLAIMS. a
The Representatives who have been wish
| ing for several days to take the sense of the
House upon the relations of thia government
with Great Britain, and the Withdrawal Of
the claims for indirect damages, succeeded
this morning, and obtained decisive ex-
preston of the confidence Of the House in
the administration and in Its position upon
the International questions just now in dis
pute. The occasion of the action was SIM
pie motion to concur in the Senate resolu-
tions for printing ten thousand copies Of the
American case at Geneva, which Mr.. Cox
tried to extend by making it include the
Fish Granville correspondence, the British
ease and all other documents bearing ON the
subject. General Banks sustained the Sen.
ate resolution in the face of flaming speech
by the ex-Fenian, Roberts, provoking sug-
gestions by Mr.. Cox, and jeer from General
Butler, who wanted to know what wAs the
use of printing "gone case" The vote Of
| the House at the close of the ten minutes
lively and running debate was very decisive
in favor of General Banks position, and
equally strong, though rot so directly ex-
pressed, against any agitation or sensation
alism over the treaty of Washington and the
matter Of consequential damages.
| GOVERNOR CURTIN AND THE CINCINNATI
| CONVENTION.
Several days ago q few friends of Cover
nor Curtin united in despatch to him at St.
Petersburg, protesting against his accepting
any nomination from the Cincinnati conven-
| 40 dea In ho offi hat a
movement at Cincinnati was inimieal to the
republican party, and those who participated
in it would only lend their influence and
names to the democracy. 1t further stated
that the Cincinnati movement was inaugu-
rated by free-traders, and would naturally
initiate against the interests of Pennsylvania.
Governor Curtin, rs one of the recognized
leaders of the republican party, could not n.
low his name to be used against the party,
especially in connection with the free-trade
movement. The despatch was signed BY
Colonel j. w. Forney, George w. Child,
A. j. Drexel, Daniel Dougherty and several
other prominent Philadelphians, personal
friends of Governor Curtis. No reply has
been received from Mr.. Curtin, but few
days previous to the sending Of this despatch,
Colonel A. X. Mcclure received letter
from Governor Curtin, wherein he states that
his friends are at liberty to use his name for
whatever purpose they may deem necessary
| to secure reform in the administration Of
affairs, at the Cincinnati convention or else
where. 1t il probable that Mcclure will
cause the letter to be read At the convention.
Colonel Mcclure asserts that Curtis comes
home to oppose Grants denomination and re-
election.
