The New York Chamber of Commerce has passed
resolutions stating that the destruction of the ship
Brilliant by the Confederate steamer Alabama is a
crime against humanity. The Chamber of Com-
merce has not failed to notice the change in British
sentiments, transforming a friendly nation into a
Power the nature of whose neutrality is shown by
its permitting ships to go forth, and armaments to
' follow them, for the work of plundering and de-
stroying American vessels, thus encouraging upon
the high seas an offence against neutral rights,
upon the plea of which, in the case of the Trent,
England threatened to plunge the American govern-
ment into war. The Chamber has heard with
amazement that other vessels are fitting out in
British ports to continue the work of destruction
begun by the Alabama. It is the duty of the
Chamber of Commerce to warn British merchants
that a repetition of such acts as burning the Brilliant
by vessels fitted out in England, and manned
by British seamen, cannot fail to produce wide-
spread exasperation in America. The Chamber
therefore invokes the influence of all men who
value peace and goodwill among all nations, to pre-
vent the departure of other vessels of the same
character from their ports, and thus avoid the
calamity of war.

The resolutions close by declaring that it is the
desire and interest of Americans to cherish and
maintain sentiments of amity with England.

Copies of the resolutions are to be forwarded to
the Board of Trade in London.
