arrested. All the stolen papers were recov-

I FROM EUROPE
New York, Nov 20-The steamship City
of London, with Liverpool dates of Nov. s
and Queenstown of the 9th, arrived. The
pirate Shenandoah arrived in the Mersey on
the 9th, and surrendered to the guardship
Donegal and is now in the hands of the naval
authorities.
Capt. Waddel states that the first informa-
ton received of the close of the war was on
the 30th of August, from the British war yes
sci Barracontu, and that he Immediately CON
signed his guns to the hold, and cleared for
Liverpool.
The Daily News says Americans may be
inclined to say it was only fitting that her end
should. be as British as her origin; but the
News cannot help asking how the Shenan-
doah has been able to pursue her course with
out the least interruption from the American
navy. Can it be possible that the expectation
of recovering compensation for losses result
ing from her depredations, from England,
ma,le the American Government less eager
for her capture? If it should come to that
conclusion, it would be one of the strongest
practical arguments against the admission of
such liabilities against England.
1t is stated that Waddel sent letter to
Earl Russel, of which the contents are un-
known. The captain and crew remained on
the Shenandoah
The Star says the vessel will be claimed by
America, and there is no reason for refusing
the request
The Times says the personal liabilities of
the Captain give rise to perplexing circum-
stances, but strict justice will be done by the
tribunals.
Earl Russell as Premier and Lord Claren-
don rs Minister of Foreign Affairs, were in
stalled into Office No material changes will
probably be made till February
Liverpool, Nov. 9.-The Captain and crew
of the pirate Shenandoah have been released
on parole.
1t is believed the matter will cause no Sc
rious difficulty. There is no other news of
any serious Importance

In the foreign files by the City of London
it is announced that Capt Waddcll, Of the
Shenandoah, on taking pilot off Liverpool,
asked if the American war had ceased
The London Times says the temperance
of the Shenandoah in British waters at the
present juncture is an untowMd and unwel-
come event. 1t is fortunate that in this in
stance nothing practically turns on the origi
nal equipment of the ship thus placed in our
hands. Although built and manned in fraud
Of the neutrality laws, there was no proof at
the time of her sailing to Justify her detcn-
ton. On every principle of law she belongs
to the Government which has succeeded to
the rights and property of the Confederate
Government The most serious question is
concerning the officers and crew.
1t is to be greatly regretted that the ship
ever came back to England
The Times says the work of proving that
he did not know of the end of the war at the
time he destroyed the whalcships, rests with
Captain Waddell. It says that neither he nor
his crew can, under any circumstances, be
given over to the United States. The crirps
of which they really stand accused, supposing
them to have wiIully ignored the termination
of hostilites, is that of piracy and on this
charge it is possible they may be apprehenl-
ell and tried before an English court of justice.
The Liverpool Post says when Capt Wad,
dell heard the real news, Or suspected that
what he was told was true, he put about his
ship and ran for Lisbon not knowing wha. in
depreciation the British Government might
put upon his conduct He entered the Ia
gus, paid off his crew and put new crew on,

he never encountered British or American
