THE ALABAMA CASE.
The Posts special says some interesting facts
have become known within day or two in re-
gard to the diplomacy used by our Govern
ment IN the Alabama case. The former posi-
tion of the British Ministry was to propose
first, an arbitration about the lawful response
bility of England on account of the Alabama
depredations; second, joint commission to
decide upon the case themselves arising out OF
those depredations. Secretary Seward ac-
cepted these propositions, but added a third
point, that an arbiter should decide whether
England was right in recognizing the South
ern States as belligerents. The British Minis
try not acceding to this last proposition, Mr..
Seward now valves it, but declines any sort of
arbitration, saying that the appointment by
England and the United States of joint COM
mission should be equivalent to the acknowl-
edgement of the formers injustice toward the
United States in recognizing the South as
belligerent power, and that there is no neces
slty for an arbitration previous to the appoint
ment of a commission. There seems to be a
deadlock existing between the governments
just at the present. 1t is said at the State De
partment that Minister johnson has received
no instructions to settle this question upon q
basis other than the one offered to the English
