GREAT BRITAIN.
In the House of Commons, on the 11th
inst, the question as to whether the gov
ernment hsd resolved TO withdraw bellig-
erent rights from the South, Of which
notice had been given by Mr.. White, was
not put.
The Morning Star assumes, from Mr..
White having been requested to postpone
his question, tbst the question is under the
consideration of the Cabinet, and observes
Though the withdrawal of belligerent rights
is no mere sentimental action, it would
have the effect of shutting Australian ports
to the Shenandoah and those of the West
Indies to the StOnewsll, the only two privs-
teers now siost; it wsuld tend to expedite
the period when the Government Of the
Union viii raise the blockade and permit
free trade with the South.
The Morning Post, in an editorial on the
same subject, says: Mr.. White postponed
his question in the absence Of Lord Palm
erston, but it is unqestionsbly one to which
an answer must speedily begiven.
The Post says it is impossible to avoid
the conclusion that the Confederate Gov
ernment has ceased 10 exist. The South
ceases to be 8 belligerent when it no longer
possesses the means of prosecuting the
war, and Is it has already made sn sd-
mission to that effect in the original con-
versstion between Johnston snc Sherman,
no cause for complaint will be given if
neutral powers endorse the confession.
The Daily News notices, as among the
most pleasing features of the recent intel
ligenee from America, the improved feeling
of the citizens Of the United States towards
England. There are evidences of this on
every hand, but it is especially visible in
the altered tone of their most represents
tive newspapers. 1t claims that circum-
stances have not only improved the views
and temper of American citizens but have
contributed to place English character and
motives in q true light. In addition to this
the Morning Herald gives rumor that
Sir +. Bruce complains Of the difficulty of
maintaining friendly relations with the
Washington Government, and thst Mr..
Adams has presented the claims for losses
by the Alsbams-
The DsiIy News of the 18th, referring
to the above statement by the Herald, says
Most persons are aware that the Govern
ment of the United States considers it has
claims upon England for damages doneby
the Alabama, and that our Government Is
of the contrary opinion. The question
will come up for adjustment, some day, in
the ordinary manner, and we do not know
that it might not be considered now IS well
IS at any other time. President johnson,
however, has done nothing. Tbs question
az present stands where Mr.. Lincoln left 1t.
The depredations of the Shenandoah
have alec been made the subject of repre-
septstions to the Government. Those rep
reservations were made by the order OF Mr..
Lincoln, and SO far from being Of an un-
friendly nature, they have brought cut
more plainly than before the smicsble dis
position of both government. 1t is hoped
thst Mr.. Seward will soon be restored to
,b,. duties of his department, and he will
,Di 1 A o,t those claims on England 10 the
situation in Shich he left them, President
johnson having reserved them for his
treatment.
