Lalrsl's Letter about the Alabama
Opinions Of the London Press. .
LONDON, May 2S.-The letter of Mr..
Laird that the building of the Alabama
was done in way of business and free of
conceslment. 1t was known TO the gov
ernment and public and within the knowl-
edge Of the American Minister. That the
vessel was meant for war purposes and in
tended for the use of the Confederate gov.
eminent WAS notorious No haste or se-
| crecy was observed in any Of the opera
iions. Had there been any thing illegal
in abe building or fitting of the ship, am,
pie opportunities occurred for the govern.
menl 10 seize her. The officers OF the
custom-house we're informed on the 2lst Of
July that she was ready for sea aud might
leave at any hour. No attempt
was made 10 detain her, though Pa, s-More
and others made stiidayits that the men
were enlisted TO serve on her. He takes
the ground that the contract entered into
for the building Of the ship was not at
variance with the laws Of England, the
opinion Of the English people, and the
practice of foreign nations. and quotes the
written opinion of Mr.. Vemplay aud cir
Hugh Cairns, of February, 1868, in which
they allege in support of their position
that the Alabama left Binkerhead unsrms
ed, and went TO Azores, TO which men and
arms bad been sent from other ports.
The Standard says of Laird's letter that
il is clear charge Of negligence against
the government, but whatever Englsnd's
offence may have been il is outdone a hun
dred fold by the wilful and wanton offenses
of the United States against England, and !
any settlement will leave heavy balance
against the United States. Englands obi
gatiCRJ we're broken for the North as well
as the South. The Americans were equally
guilty of breach of international obliga-
ton IN the case of the Caroline and in the
case of the Fenian drilling and org 4siza-
tions.
The Star thinks Laird's letter aggrayates
the action of the British government Be-
sides the general obligation of the govern
ment TO prevent all risk from the issuiDg
forth of the Alabams, the ship was known as
destined TO pry on American commerce.
Further obligations are raised by the
fact that the Alabama was built and pierced
for guns TO accommodate a war crew, facts
reported by British custom officers, as also /
that she was really intended for war pur-
poses. This knowledge obviously devolyed |
upon the government the duty of making
foreign enlistment act go as far as possible in |
rsse. There isgood resson 70 suspect the act |
