The “Old Spanish Settlement Claims.” — Congress,: at its last session, passed an act creating a commission (the Register and Re- eeiver at Natchitoches, La,) to examine and report on sugh of the “old settlement claims” to lands in what has been known ‘as “the neutral territory,’’ since the year 1819, when Spain relinquished all her claims to lands within Louisians, and ceded the Floridas.
