THE 'UNITED STATES AND ENGLAND.

(From the Daily New.)
A L'ONTIMPOILiIIt published yesterday the fol.
lowing announcement :
Ten Ustrin Swirl AND ENOLAND.—It is reported in
good quarters that within the lest few days Mr. Adams has,
by =press orders from President Johns" celled on our
government in perwaptory terms for a settlement of the
American claims for hems =stained by Amino= citizens
through the depredations of the Alabama and consorts. It
is also elated that Mr. Bruce's reporte from Washington are
to the effect that President Johnson's tone is quite different
from Mr. Lincoln's, sad that he anticipates great difficulty
in remaining on friendly terms with the Yankees.
Most persons are aware, from the discussions
which have taken place in Parliament and else- '
where, that the Government of the United States '
considers that it has claims upon England for the
damage done by the Alabama, and that our own
Government is of a contrary opinion. The ques-
tion will come on for adjustment some day in the
ordinary manner, and we do not know that it
might not be considered now as well as
at any other time. As a matter of fact,
however, President JoitinioN has done nothing
whatever to justify the statement of our contain-
pceary : the question stands at this moment jest
where President Lueoouzo left it. It will be re-
membered that on the 9th of March, Lord ROBIRT
CZCIL asked the Government whether the Cabinet
of Washington was pressing its claims on
account of the depredations of the Alabama and
her consorts, and was told that it was not doing so.
On that occasion we stated that the question rested
where it was left by Mr. Szwann's published
despatch of October, 1863. Since then the depre-
dations of the Shenandoah have been made the
subject of representations to our Government :
those representations were made by order of Pre-
sident LINCOLN, and, far from being of an un-
friendly nature, they brought out more plainly
than before the amicable disposition of both govern-
ments. There is now good reason to hope that
Mr. SHWAILD will soon be restored to the duties of
his dliarbnent, and should that expectation be
realised, he will find these claims on England in
the situation in which he left them, President
JOHNSON having reserved them for his treatment.
