The N. Y. Courier of Saturday has the following paragraph:
We learn by special telegraph from Washington that there is nothing in our difficulty with Portugal to excite serious apprehensions. Portugal offers to pay all claims of American citizens, excepting that for the loss of the General Armstrong, and this she at last consents to refer to any arbitrator our Government may choose to appoint. She originally proposed to submit to arbitration the claims she now volunteers to pay.
In demanding his passports under these circumstances, Mr. Clay must have felt constrained to act in strict accordance with the exact letter of his instructions, and perhaps withal under a keen sense of certain indignities of which he had been the subject. Nevertheless all difficulties now admit of diplomatic arrangement, and it is confidently believed that the matter will be speedily and amicably settled.
