In the British House of Commons, on
the 9th, Mr.. Shaw LIE Fevre, member for
Reading, called up the question Of the
Alabama claims, and made long and elo-
quent speech, urging the settlement of
this question On the plan proposed by the
American Government. Lord Stanley
praised the pacific tone of Mr.. LIE Fevre,
and warmly complimented Mr.. Adams for
the spirit he had displayed. He affirmed
the readiness of the British Government
to submit all points at issue to arbitration
save the one involving the right of Great
Britain to recognize the Southern States
as belligerents. Mr.. Forster Thought Mr.
Stewards views of the question of the
recognition of the Ala bama claims de-
served better treatment and more careful
consideration, as being, perhaps, views
that were right and sensible. John Stuart
Mill advised the appointment of a mixed
commission for the proper adjustment of
the question. Mr.. Gladstone doubted if
reparation for the Alabama depredations
was due the United States; but thought it
right the question should be referred to a
commission. He closed with an assertion
that the feeling between the two countries
sperfectly friendly, and that England will
sustain a fair and honorable adjustment.
In commenting on these proceedings, the
London Times says the debate must con-
vince the United States that the govern
ment of England wishes to settle the law
in this case in the American sense, and the
failure of Great Britain to refer the claims
to arbitration is due to no desire to shun
her just obligations. Mr.. Seward has only
to meet Lord Stanley in like spirit to end
tbs misunderstanding.
