NEW YORK, March 27. – Private advices from London of the
15th state that Mr. Field and other leading gentlemen and capitalists

the afternoon of the 21st inst, and that the prospect of a satisfactory
termination of negotiations with the Government in regard to raising the
necessary capital to secure the proposed new cable were very encouraging. Mr. Field confidently expected to return to
New York with assurances of the earnest co-operation of the British Government
