LONDON, May 26.-Several journals deny
| the rumors as to renewal of the demands
| by the United States Government for the
depredations of the Alabama, and say the
matter rests where Lincoln left it. Sir j
Walsh will question Lord Palmerston on
the subject tonight in Parliament. =,
The London Owl says: The question OF
indemnity for losses by the Alabama's dep
relations has reached an unpleasant point
In reply to the Washington Government
the British Cabinet has intimated that it is
not intended to pay these demands, and
that international law is on its side. The
rejoinder from Washington alludes to COM
pulsion. The Owl calls for firm Joint ac-
tion by England and France in defense OF
public laws. rtr
The statements of this eccentric courier
have recently proved far less reliable than
they used to be. ,u fa.
The Paris Moniteur of the oath publishes
an article confirming the revocation of the
order limiting the stay of Federal vessels in
foreign ports to "a hours, and says that
France has also announced that she will
hasten to raise all other restrictions as soon
rs the Washington Cabinet shall cease to
exercise an exceptional right which its
quality as belligerent power enables it to
claim on sea towards neutrals. The Moni-
teur then reverts to the fully satisfactory
assurances of Mr.. Lincoln some days before
his death, and adds: The latest news from
America affords reason To- believe that Mr..
johnson intends to follow the wise policy
of his predecessor. ... y
The London Stars city article says: In
the course of the panic on the 22d and 23d
in Paris and the French provincial towns
as to the intentions of the United States
Government in relation to Mexico consid-
cradle orders for cotton were rapidly trans
mitted to England, in the belief that war
with the United States was not improba-
BILE. The reassuring articles which have
since appeared in the French journals have
had the effect OF putting stop to the un-
reasonable panic.
