INDEMNIFY DEMANDED.
The World announces that the Memorial
DiplOmatique, May Il, announces the i'm
Portant fact that Mr.. johnson, through the
American Minister at London, has required /
of England prompt indemnity for. losses of
American citizens caused by the Alabama,
aud other rebel cruisers built and equipped
IN English ports since the beginning of the
war. The memorial adds that this de-
mand has been msde several times by the
United States, but its justice has never
been conceded by the British Governments,
which has rested It's refusal upon opinions
given by the law officers of the crown. Mr..
Lincoln has, nevertheless, persisted in this
demand, renewing it short time before
his death. And Mr.. johnson, far from
abandoning the demand, has renewed it,
asserting it with moro vigor and energy
than ever. In the opinion Of the memorial
this question, which uptO the present time
has not seemed to be serious and pressing,
now threatens, perhaps, a conflict between
the two nations, the English Cabinet hav-
ing before it accounts amounting to many
million pounds sterling. and it seeming to
be certain that the Federal Government
will not modify its demands. Such is the
point which matters have actually reached.
The memorial adds that the English Gov
ernment will hardly persist in negative
which would be followed By the grSSest
consequences. hri iii ----L- tI-is new sac-
ri6ce to peace, after having made
SO many heroic sacrifices for the same end
during the past four years.
The Madrid Epocs, of May 18Th, urges
the President to sustain the claim of the
United States, and says we are of opinion
with the memorial diPIomatiqs, because
apart from the justice of the American de-
mands they are uttered by powerful State
and the Cabinet of St. James will always be
found disposed to make heroic sacrifices in
any conflict of equal with equal, reserving
the terrors of its traditional pride for diff
culties with nations of inferior strength.
