| Vhere is a good deal of talk about the
! Alabama treaty question. The foreign
! diplomats have expressed some surprise
that Reverdy Johnson should have
agreed uniformed to such terms as he
has proposed. There is no likelihood
that Mr.. Seward will consent to the
arrangement, and the administration,
"a whole, is so far as can be ascertain
ed, more opposed to it than Seward him
self. The plan appears to be for one
American and two British Commission
ers. Seward will not say much about
the matter, but it is given out from the
White House that Reverdy Johnson
has waived the question about England's
responsibility for recognizing the South
ern Confcderacy. Saturdays steamer
will carry out farther instructions to
our Minister.
