of the Shenandoah, and announces, that for the
damages caused by such cruisers. his Govern.
ment cannot avoid entailing the responsibilit.

whether the law officers OF The Crown correctly
interpreted 4 British statute.
Earl Russell couieuds that The Queens GOV

arbitration. The aeIds Used by him are "a IO,-

guardians of its honor. They cannot admit they

ever, ready TO consent 10 appointment OF a Com
mittee, to which shall be referred all claims
arising during the late civil war, which the two
Powers shall agree to refer to the Committee
The reply Of Mr.. Adams, dated the 18th of
September, is very serious in its tone. Mr..
Adams considers there is now no dispute as to
the fact that the recognition of the South IS
belligerents, was such an act IS was never done
by one nation toward another in s-stste o fami,v
He charges the British Government with having
acted without knowledge and on mere presump-
ton in assuming that the evidence OF the block
sde of the Southern ports was imperfect. The
blockade, he says, was in consequence, not cause,
Of British policy. and thinks the only excuse for
the British Government is that its conduct was
precipitate. He then intimltes it the doctrines
and practices OF the British Government are al
lowed TO become the rule, the United States will
not be the greatest losers thereby. ". Adams
appears to think the proposal of Earl Russell to
refer the questions in dispute TO a Convention
will be accepted by the United States Govern
ment.
