The President, José Maria Montealegre, expressed himself most anxious to co-operate with the Minister; but more than a fortnight’s delay occurred, in consequence of the post of Minister of Foreign Relations becoming vacant by the resignation of Senor Don Jesus Ximenes, and no perton being found willing enough to take the situation, no doubt because this question of American claims was in dispute.

PATCHEN—THE MARE AGAIN TRI- UMPHANT, ETC. The Union Course, Long Island, witnessed yesterday another spirited contest between the acknowledged Queen of the Trotting Turf, Flora Temple, and the almost equally celebrated Jersey stallion George M. Patchen. Ik will be remembered those renowned trotting horses bave met on several occasions before to contend for the superiority of the trotting turf. On the first oc- tion the match remained undecided in consequence of darkness putting astop to the proceedings. In their two next engagements, of one mile and two mile heats, on the Union Course, Lorg Island, the little bay mare won the former and the stallion the latter race, thus leaving the question of absolute superiority undecided. Next matched to trot at Philadelphia, at the same distances and under the same conditions, Flora Temple won the one mile heat race in clever style, and the second race at the distance was also awarded to her in conse. uence of the new owner of Patchen, Mr, Waltermire, of is city, who hed purchased ler just previous to the race, refusing to start him again after wi the first’ heat and losing the second, im gonsequenes * lie, enrenetat and totous proceed: © Philadelphia roughs, who } ted his ms having a fair unity of showing is good qualities.

It, however, was not endorsed by Mr. Hall, whether by accident or design we are unable to state, and on at Rochester, by Mr. MeMapn’s bankers, disbonored by Mr. Hail. As Mr mace all his matches of Flora against Patchen with D.

Mr. Waltermire refused to recognise this check, | as he was only responsible for the engagemeats of Patch en since he came into his pomsessicn, and consequently he placed bis part of the stakes ($250) on the present match to the hands of the Judges, who called upon Mr. MeMana todo the same. Eventually the money was duly deposited.
