The Dibect Claims. — The reports of Messrs Cohen and Young, appointed by the Board of Trade to examine the claims contained in the American case, have just freen published. The total claims, amounting to 17,763,710 dols., will, the Commissioners consider, be amply met by 8,039,685 dols. The report of the Commissioners appointed by the Admiralty to examine the claims for expenses incurred by the United Statea Navy in pursuit of the Confederate cruisers concludes that the greater part of the claim of 7,080,478 dols. is inadmissible, and that if Great Britain were held liable for the four Confederate cruisers, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Shenandoah, the amount could not exceed 1,509,300 dols— for the Alabama only 1,427,685 dole., and the Florida only 81,615 dols.
