The London News says that it should not
be forgotten that the claims made BY Spain
against the American government, under
similar circumstances, were only settled by
treaty, and that those made bv PORTUGAL
furnished material for arguments which
lasted more than thirty years. y If powers,
such as Spain and Portugal, in like eireum-
stances, feel themselves bound to perpetuate
discussion until they obtain some sort of
settlement, it is not probable the United
States of America will follow different
course Assuredly Lord RusselPs refusal to
refer matters now in dispute will not settle
them.

1t IS just possible that to avaid the payment
OF Jew hundred thousands or a million of
money we may base our opposition on a prin-
cIpie so untenable as to cause us when cases
are reversed, when Americans are neutrals
and we ourselves are belligerents to suffer
terribly IN person, and we don't apprehend
war for war in these days could not arise out
OF this business, but something nearly as
bad may arise in the future when the prac-
tice we have defended may be turned against |
US IN way that is hideous even to surmise. |
The Liverpool Post SAYS the manner in |
which the London press have reviewed the |
Adams-Russell dispatches does not promise |
success to the English view of the Alabama |
question. Lord Russell did not appear to be
aware that the United States had retreated |
from the position taken up by- Mr. Quineey
Adams in the Portugal business. 1t is pos
sible he may yet be brought to admit that
alterations made in American laws in con-
sequence of the discussion with Portugal
are consOnant to justice, and that being be-
hind the Americans in this matter we must
take the consequence
The London Star says that Earl Russell,
in his anxiety to save the maritime powers
from the responsibility for injury which
their subjects may unauthorizedly cause to
he belllgerent, has taken up very DANGEROUS
grounds for the maritime powers when thevI
nay in turn be sufferers by such acts.
Whatever view may be taken of the inius-
Ice OF the claims in regard TO the Alabama,
We trust no British statesman will fall into
he grIeYous blunder of placing our com
nerce at the mercy of desperaloes who
nay issue from neutral ports during some
f our future wars. -. gr..a
Does Lord Russell really mean TO control ,
hat power of England. He is unequal to !
top such an outrage as the issuing of the a
henandoah from the port of London to be- .
ONE a priyateer, after having had arms q
upplied, to be on the high seas. Earl Rms :
ell deserves all credit for his industry in :
ndeavOring to quiet the mouth of Mr.. Ad- :
ms by quoting what his grandfather said !
nd did fifty years ago, but at the same time u
he security of our commerce in the present a
ay is subject of greater importance to the
eOple of England. @
