HI .Iii JO The ?lnaSMMI Claims Correspondence avTome of UM Dispatches of Secretary J Fl?fc-The Negotiations Transferred to Washington-How the Matter Stands at Present. -nc '{''?"President Grant on Wednesday last sent to Me Senate copies of the correspondence between ?Ute United States and Great Britain concerning ^ie Alabama claims since the rejection of the Claims convention by the Senate. The most lm lt fact la the documents is the assent of the i Government to the transfer of the negotia? te Washington. A letter appears m the correspondence from Secretary Fish, la which he .takes much stronger ground against England than has been generally represented. The docu? ment covers over one hundred pages of fools? cap. We subjoin abstracts of the correspond? ance: tnST IHK TREATY MAm? BY REVERDY JOHNSON 2!'" .WAS REJECTEI'. M? Jo a letter to Mr. Motley, dated May 15,1869, Mr. Fish aaya that the government, m rejecting the ?invention, abandons neither its claims nor the har* of a speedy settlement. He explains that the .Ctlon of the Senate waa influenced by the unani? mity of pnblic opinion against the acceptance of .ta? proposals of England. He disclaims any dis .owtesy to England, and Instances the conven .tinnof Mar 12, ISCA as a precedent. The unanl moos beber o? our citizens isas that the accept? ance ol the convention would? not be conducive ?? peace between the two countries. lu view or ale irritated state of public feeUng, he advises ?the discussion be suspended for a short time, thia suspension should be limited to the short? est possible period consistent with its object. o: rn? RECOGNITION OF BELLIGERENCY. When the question ls again i?ken up, England U asked to Insert la the negotiaUsjHme^agree Xnent between the two governments den nmg HLftlr respective duties and rights as neutrals lu Ease the other government became involved In a war with a third power. The absence of such an Sagreement has been one of the principal canses P? the rejection of the claims convention, and Its reception by both coan fries would no doubt lead ita becoming a public law or the civilized world, e President, while he recognized England's st to denne its relations to the rebels la so far Hs interests were affected by the conflict, could see nothing which justified it m granting them feeUtereney. Great Britain, of all the countries wmoh did the same thing, was the only one which supplemented lt with acts causing direct damage *?tte United states. TB?BttTB Or TBS NEGOTIATIONS TO WASHINGTON. Jib. Fbh, on the 29th of September, instructs - Mr. Motley to notify her Majesty's Government that he hopes the discussion will hereafter be conducted at Washington, where any proposi t/?? they have to make and any views they have Se offer will be received and carefoily considered BT th*President, with a purpose to reach an ami? cable adjustment u* her Majesty's government gdisposed to meet this government m a fair it, and te lend a just ear to the statement of grievances of which the government and cit 1 %tAfl of the United States complain. ' *V _ COOLING OFF I ^?Ee says to Mr. Motley that when he left on his aiafl?on the moment was thought not to be the heat hopeful to enter upon renewed discussion i f negotiation with tho Government of Great maia. The President is now Inclined to be? ere that sufficient time has elapsed to allow i ihslaeace of emotions of excitement or lrrka DJ NO HUBBY. "Mr. ptah then gives a history of the acts and ?rente welch have so much disturbed the other? wise amicable relations of the two governments, ?and naya although the United States are anxious for a settlement on a liberal and comprehensive basis of an the questions which now Interfere with the entirely cordial relations which they ?asir? to exist between the two governments, they do not now propose or desire to set any Mme mr this settlement; on the contrary, they prefer to have that question, and also the more Impertan; question of the means and method or fSnovmg the causes or complaint, of restoring the ntucn-deslred relations of perfect cordiality, jipo;I>a preventing of the probability of lute ques? tions m tte future, to the consideration of her Majesty's Government. They will, however, be TftiitT whenever her Majesty's Government shall mas} the proper time has come for a renewal of BegoUatioas, to entertain any proposition which that government shall think proper to present, a$d to apply to such proposition their earnest ?Sd sincere wishes and endeavors for a solution honorable and satisfactory to both countries.

THE S3??ISH KBPLY-JOHN BULL MCLINES TO m. BUBB ANY NEW PROPOSITIONS. Here follows a long letter from Lord Clarendon to Mr. Thornton, the Britsh Minister at Washing? ton, dated November 6th, acknowledging the let? ter from Mr. Fish, reciting at length the state? ments set forth by the latter. Lord Clarendon's fetter concludes as follows: ^?er Majesty's'Government had hoped that, by the conventlonAwhlch, under the instructions of hie/ government and with their full and deliberate escurren ce, Mr. Reverdy Johnson signed with ms on the 14th of January or the present year, all tan correspondeuce between the tigo "govern? ments had oeen brought to an end, and that all matters m dispute would be referred fer a settle ?mi a dispassionate tribunal. With a view tqisat result her Majesty's Government had, in some degree, departed from their deliberate con? victions and antlared resolves. They agreed to the mode of settlement proposed by the United Stales Government, which was more than once irvine course of that negotiation modified to anet the wishes of that government, but they did snwlfllngiy, because they thought the restoration ora good understanding between Great Britain and the United Stated might well be purchased by concessions, kept within bounds, and not incon? sistent with the honor of this country, nsf Majesty's Government learned with deep concern that the Senate of the United States, in the exercise of the powers unquestionably con? ferred upon lt hy the constitution, repudiated the aejs M the government under whose authority tte convention was concluded, and by rejecting it had left open the whole controversy between the two countries, and had indefinitely prolonged the unoarttinty attendant upon such a state of JB?*MaJesvy'8 Government regret no less sin Cfl-eJy'tnat the President or the United States con enrs with the Senate In dlapprovtng that treaty; bte, their reget wonld In seme degree be dimin fcftfrvl rf Mr. Fish had been authorized to indicate seine other means of adjuring the questions be? tween the two countries, which, as long as they remain open, cannot be favorable to a cordial ?ed understanding be .ween them. Thia, however, Mr. Fsh has not been empower? ed to do; bnt he expresses the readiness of the President to consider any proposal emanating from this country. It ls obvious, however and Mr. Pish will probably on reflection admit, tba ber Majesty's Government cannot make any nen proposition or run the nsk of another unsuccess? ful negotiation until they have Information more ?lear than that which ls contained in Mr. Fish's dispatch respecting the basis upon which the Gov? ernment er the United States woul<*. uc disposed to nogotiate. J But her Majesty's Government fully agree with Mr. Fish in considering that it would be desirable to turn the difficulties which have arisen between the two governments to good account by making the solution ot them subservient to the adoption, as between themselves, in the first instance, of such changes in the rules of public law os may prevent the recurrence between nations that may concur in them of similar difficulties hereafter. -COMMERCIAL NEWS.

The Timi ^mf obvious reason ls, that " ls a niore rellaljll-> ^nd -"^^SBB?SHi^^^rar more effectual rem - edy than any other. Those who have tried it, kuow that it cured them: those who have not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends, and al! know that what lt docs once it does alwavs-that it never fails through tiny Vault or neglect of Us composition. Wc have thousands upon thousands of the certifi? cates of their remarkable cures of the following complaints, but such cures are known In every neighborhood, and wc need not publish them. Adaptetl to all ages and condit ions in all climates; containing neither calomel or any deleterious drug, they may be taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take, while being purely vegetable no harm can arise from rncir use in any quantity. They operate by their powerful Influence on the Internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate lt Into healthy action-remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, ami other organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, such derangements as are the first orlgin'of disease. Minute directions are given In the wrapper on the box. for thc following complaints, which these PIUS rapidly cure: For DYSPEPSIA or INDIGESTION, LISTLESSNESS LANGLOH and Loss of APPETITE, they should be taken moderately to stimulate thc stomach and restore tts healthy tone and action. For LIVER COMPLAINT and Its various svnipJ toms, Hu.lors ll KAUAI II E, MIK HEADACHE, JAUN? DICE or (?REEN SICKNESS, mn ors Cone and BILIOUS FEVERS, they should be judiciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased action or remove tfie obstructions which cause it. For DYSENTERY or DIARRUIEA, but one mild dose ls generally required. . For RHEUMATISM, GOUT, GRAVEL, PALPITATION OF THE HEART, PAIN IN THE SIDE, RACK and LUNGS, they should bc continuously taken, as re? quired, to change the diseased action of the sys? tem. Wlthj-such change those complaints dis? appear. For DROPSY and DROPSICAL SWELLINGS they should bc taken in large and frequent doses tc produce the effect of a drastic purge*. For SUPPRESSION a large dose should be taker as lt produces the desired effect by sympathy. As a DINNER PILL, take one or two PILLS to pro mote digestion and relieve thc stomach. An occasional dose stimulates thc stomach anc bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite and Invigorates the system. Hence it ls often ad vantageous where no serleus derangement exists One who feels tolerably well, often finds that t dose of these PILLS makes him feel decidedly bet ter, from their cleansing and renovating effect ot the digestive apparatus.
