The Herald's Washington dispatch states
that it is ascertained that the instructions
of Reverdy johnson were not particularly
strong regarding the Alabama claims. He
was merely directed to pursue the same
course as his predecessor on that question:,
but was more fully instructed regarding
the American doctrine of eXpatriation. 1t
is believed that the President and Secre-
tary Seward authorized him to negotiate
treaty as to the rights of naturalized c1tl-
zens, similar to that lately agreed upon
between Prussia and the United States.
