GREAT BRITAIN.-The English papers gen.
orally have articles on correspondence be-
tween the American minister and Earl Rus
sell, just published, and regard 1t as most
important.
The London Times says it is the most i'm
portant discussion in reference to the rights
and duties of the neutrals that has been
carried on for many years between the rep
resentatives of two great maratime powers.
The Times can hardly doubt that Earl Rus
sells proposal for a commission will ulti-
mately be accepted as the most satisfactory
method of adjusting outstanding claims be-
tween the two nations. No foreign SOW
ereign or state could have entered into all
details of each specific claim and counter
claim, for it must not be forgotten that we
too have long bills against the United
States for damages incurred by British sub
jects during the war. Still less could we
have consented, as Earl Russell says, to sub
nit the bona tides of our Government, or the
legal competency of our law officers to the
judgment of any foreign government The
best if not the only solution of the Difficult
ty, therefore, was that suggested by Earl
Russell, and we earnestly hope it will be
the means for the termination of a eOntrO-
versy, which, but for the forbearance shown
by both parties, would certainly have led to
a rupture between Great Britain and the
United States. The candid and friendly
notes of argument, 50 elaborately conducted
by Earl Russell and Minister Adams, justi-
iies this expectation.
The Times winds up its article by point
ing to the Fenian movement in America as
threatening a breach of the foreign enlist
ment act, and shows that this helps us to
look at such proceedings from the American
point of view, and will help our critics to
look at them from our point of view. In the
meantime let us agree to differ amicably,
and not allow a transient feeling of jealousy
or resentment to prejudice the permanent
settlement of question in which all mari
time nations are equally concerned.
The Times in another article contends
that England has greater reason to COM
plain of Americas position ds a neutral one
in the Fenian movement, than ever Ameri-
ca has had in regard to Englands attitude
towards the South, inasmuch as the Fenian
plot was formed in America, by American
citizens, although the conspiratOrs may have
been mostly of Irish extraction.
The Times, however, admits that the
American Government has acted in regard
to movements of Fenians with all honora-
bic openess, notwithstanding the secret
plots of its citizens.
The Morning Post thinks Earl Russell's
proposition to the American Government
will most probably be accepted.
The Daily News says it is clear that the
disruption of the question is exhausted.
The British minister distinctly declares the
question is, had her Majesty's Government
acted in good faith and honestly, and if this
be so the public will agree with foreign
ministers it can't be entertained, or refers
TO any potentate whatever. The Daily
News continues If it be absolutely neces-
sary to British honor that claims be met by
a sample negative, Parliament and people
must maintain positive hopes, however,
that the good sense of modern statesmen
may before long find solution for Difficult
ties which may be serious, but are surely
not irreparable.
The Times of the 18th inst. contains the
following official statement: In order to
guard against any misunderstanding, we
are requested to restate what the proposal
of Earl Russell was to the American Gov
ernment it was conveyed in the following
words: Her Majesty's Government is
ready to consent to the appointment of a
| Commission, to which shall be referred all
the claims arising during the late civil war,
which two powers shall agree to refer
to the Commissioners, these concluding
words limit the subject of reference, and
would be inconsistent with the position ta-
ken by Her Majesty's Government, and the
argument which induced it to decline ar
bitTation to decide the claims for losses by
the Alabama and other vessels of the same
character to be brought before the commits
sion for decision. 1t must be understood
therefore, that if any such commission were
agreed on these losses would be excluded
from its jurisdiction.
The London Herald congratulates Ear
Russell upon the tone and spirit of his dis
patches to the American minister.
AT an extraordinary meeting of the stock
holders of the Atlantic Telegraph Company
held in London on the 18th instant, the res
olutions adopted at the meeting in Angus
were rescinded, and it was unanimously re
solved to increase the capital to 81. 900 .OOt
sterling by the creation of one hundred anC
sixty thousand new shares at e5 each, sucI
shares having a preference dividend of
per cent In the terms of this resolution
the board of directors of the company forth
with issued prospectus inviting subscrip
tlons for l,200 of the above new shares.
1t was stated at the meeting that the cabl,
on board the Great Eastern, and also tn,
submerged portion, had lately been testet
and found to be in perfect condition. Al
abated confidence is evinced in the pros
