London, Sept. l4.-The Press of this city
yariousIy comment upon the recent speech at
Challons. The following words were used by
the Emperor on that occasion: al Will say
nothing more, as the public prints are sure to
draw prophesies of war however moderate ny
words are"
The Times has long editorial on johnson,
the American Minister, and says that he has a
carte blanche from his government to settle
the Alabama claims. The case of itself pre-
sents but little trouble, the only difficulty is
the reluctance of the American government
TO settle the difficulty growing out of the
war rerentments. No American statesman
ever believed that the Ala, escaped with the
connivance of Great Britain. There might
be aquestion as to an inadequate law, making
England answersble, but this could be easily
settled. The real grievance of the United
States was in the differences in the civil war
and the willingness of Great Britain to see the
Union destroyed. Of this the Americans were
conscious all the time and remember il keenly
now. They think we should have an active
sympathy with the North and that the Con-
federacy, based on Human slavery, should at
once have been condemned, that the Republi-
can party was the true friend of England, and
that IL was wrong ever to doubt the success of
the Federal arms. After all, the anger of the
Americans was due to their consciousness of
England's want of sympathy in their hour of
peril, but this anger, even If right, has been
enough INDUCED. Seward has refused hand
some offer which should be credited to Eng
land, but he now cuts the past adrift and the
thing is as good as settled. Legal points will
not stand In the way. The only thing to as
certain is the responsibility of England 70 fix
the proper indemnity
