reason to believe that the British Govern
ment is prepared to consent to allow the
arbitration of the Alabama claims to pro-

Alabama claims, expresses the opinion that
in case England should renounce the Treaty
Of Washington, the United States would
take 10 immediate action in consequence.
bnt would insist on the right hitherto
claimed for American seanen 70 fish IN

meet with no opposition from England.

to Granviles note is expected to reach Lon
