Mr.. Lowrey shows that the Alabama and
Florida originally sailed from British ports
were manned by English law-breakers, and
are still the property of English owners, and
he adds:
1t is fair question for judicial and profess
sional consideration, whether, in addition to
the criminal proceedings given by the For
eign Enlistment act, the owners of the Jacob
Bell may not have their action for damages
against Fawcett, Preston 4 co, OF Liverpool.
the owners of the Florida; and the owners of
the Brilliant, and other vessels destroyed by
the Alabama, their respective actions against
Messrs. Laird of Brkenhead, the reputed
owners of that vessel.
The New York Evening Post, in whose col
umns we have found the material for the fore
going, refers to the depredations of the Ala
bama on British property destroyed in Ameri-
can vessels, and the supposed interest Eng
land would have in putting an end to such a
depreciation, and comes TO the conclusion that
the presence of the Alabama in the waters
most trayersed by vessels passing between
this continent and Europe, is tar more advan-
tageous than prejudicial to British commerce.
John Bull, says the Post, SIS good at keeping
accounts, and after footing up all that is lost
to him by the piracies of the Alabama, he
finds that it is more than made up TO him by
the shipments of American goods in British
vessels, to protect them from the robberies of
Semmes. At present British vessels are re-
garded as the only ones perfectly safe--the
Alabama captures and burns our ships with
everything on board, British or American
and this induces both British and American
merchants TO send their goods in British YES
