Claims will bo preferred on both sides, so:ue of which will be admitted, while others will bo challênged in whole or in part, and will then becorue the subject of nogotiatiou. We have, indeed, seen it statcd within these few days, that it is the business of Eriglish statesineii to see that we are not placed uudorthe 'penance' of haviDg claims urgod upon us that we canuot admit.
