Great BTitain-In the House of Com
mons on the 20 b ult., Sir g. Walsh asked
Lord Palmerston whether the government
had received from the United States auy
formal official demand for compensation
to American subjects for losses sustained
by the Alabama, or any other confederate
cruiser alleged to have been shipped In
British ports. Lord Palmerston said cor
respondence had been going on for some
time between the two governments on the
prizes taken by the Alabama and other
vessels of the same kind. There had been
received within the last few days, further
correspondence on the subject through Mr..
Adams, but there had not yet been time to
reply to it. He might add that in that
correspondence, in which each govern.
ment had stated its views of the case, the
question had been discussed in the most
friendly and amicable terms.
Mr.. Baxter asked Lord Palmerston
whether in looking at the changed aspect
of affairs in America her Msiesty's govern.
ment either separately or in convention or
in conjunction with that of the United
States would consider the propriety of
sending squadron to the coast of Cuba
to efectually terminate the slave trade.
Lord Palmerston said that twelve months
ago the government invited the govern
ment of the United States to participate
in Its measures on the west coast of Africa,
but difficulties arose on account of neu.
trails belligerent rights which could not
be overcome, but in the present altered
state of things her Msjssty's government
bad renewed the application to the United
States, stating that their cruisers employed
in that service would be received with
every privilege and courtesy which be-
longed to friendly nation, and that for
mer difficulties no longer existed. No
representation has been made as TO CO.
operation in the Cuba coast, but if thew
assented to CO operate in the African coast
he had no doubt they would also cordially
CO operate in the coast of Cuba.
The London Times, in au editorial,
trusts there is nothing in the Alabama
affair which need cause approximations of
rupture either now or at any future time.
The American commercial marine it is true,
has indeed suffered, but such a calamity
must be expected when a maratime and
trading State enters into a contest with
another.
The London News hopes that if Presi-
dent johnson does not give up the claim,
he will 5000 prefer it, SO that one way or
the other the matter may be brought to
settlement. 1t adds: Lord Palmerstou's
reply last night was very uusatisfactory.-
1t would have been very easy to say that
formal aud official demand had been
made by the United States Government, or
that it had not. The News trusts some
member of Parliament will insist upon
reply, whether definite demand has been
made for indemnify, and if any new in.
IDENTITIES have been made since President
Johnson's accession to power, and it adds,
1--WE have not the slightest doubt "a to the
inevitable reply"
The correspondent of the London Post
says:
The correspondence can lead only to one
result, namely, refusal on our part to the |
Americans for losses occasioned by the
chances of war.
The news of the capture of JEFF. Davis
created some sensation and anxiety, and |
the hope was generally expressed that he
would be treated in no vindictive spirit |
The Confederate loan has fallen fat.
The London Times city article says:
The Scotis's news caused considerable |
anxiety. Politically it was considered
favorable.
The possibility of a dispute with Mexico,
EnglRDd or France, on demand for exlra.
ditiOn in the event of JEFF. Davis escape,
has been eXtinguished, but the public will
await with extreme interest the news as to
the spirit in which it is likely to be dealt
with, not merely from its bearing on the
few remaining years of the life Of an indi>
vidual, but because of the effect it must
have on the national reputation for true
greatness. Those however, who know the
American character best, and who are
al !
they are amongst the most placable people
| in the world, have little fear of the result
The London Index, before the news was
received of the capture of Mr.. Davis, con-
tinued to uphold the rebellion ard talked
of q new war in Texas, Louisiana and
Arkansas, caused by the government of
President johnson driving the Southern
people into extremities.
The Bank of Eugland on the 26th re-
duced it's rate of discount from Al 10 per

The Paris correspondent of the Times
says the Patrie very narrowly escaped
warning for having published alarming
news about recruiting in the United States

raj Bose, and will not be enlarged with
any exceptional mission whatever and
have no other powers than those held by
his predecessor.
The Paris Constitutional says: ave
