Americans in language of affection and
admiration. The 1attery with which
the Americans have been besmeared is
the cause ofthe existing menacing atti-
tude; no man with English blood in his
veins could deal with SUMMERS speech
in such feeble and unmanly strain.
America is deceived by the belief
that England meekly endures the
insult and will humbly submit
to chastisement, and all but
committed itself by the message ad-
dressed to such a nation as England,
which could but answer the challenge
offered by America. II rspembers plain
facts of war and cannot be humbugged
into the belief that the bulk of the Eng
Iish people approved of the subjugatlon
fof the South. Such assertions make the
Americans believe that England, by
telling lies, wishes to escape a thrash
inc. We were never guilty of mean
ness in denying the sympathy we enter
tanned in order to escape the displeasure
of the successful party. The educated
classes who sympathized with the South
are q nation, in which the masses are
only followers.

learned that the rumor Of al alliance
between France, England and Spain
against the United States is without
foundation.
PARIS, May 25.-Dispatches from Mar
settles report that there has been much

tions. Large crowds paraded the streets

LONDON, May 25.-The Times of to-
day, in view of the approaching arrival
of Mr. Motley, the newly appointed
Amer ican Minister, concludes, that Mr..
Motley will make no fresh overtures on
the Alabama claims, as no new proposals
have been offered to England. The
dead lock OIL the question would excite
no apprehension but for the fact that
the Americans display no disposition to
divide the material from the sentimental
grievance. 1t says whatever wrong
may have happened owing to the neu-
trality proclamation was purely acct
dental, and asserts resoluteiy that in
order to maintain claims arising from
Alabama depredations as identical with
all wrongful captures, it cannot per-
nit TO be erased from the category the
fact that such demands are made on the
ground that an unfriendly spirit pre-
coded the escape of the depredator
The demand for an atonement Of nm
friendliness is of another character and
can he resisted on the ground that
Whatsoever direction the British sym
pathizers took The Government cannot
be held accountable.
On such point tribunal will Ger
tainly separate one from the Other
Let no instruction, of sympathy, but
settled reflection aud cool communings
of conscience, settle the question, aud
on both sides let the alleged inquiries be
measures, aud appraised by proper TIL
bunals. That course maysOpen a way
for a settlement of difficulties, and we
shall he rejoiced to find the Americans
have discovered it.
LONDON, May 25.r-The Times this
morning, in an editorial on the French
elections, says that the chief cities re-
pudiate the idea OF an Empire. 4 re-
vival of political activity will be the
result, which condemns personal gov
eminent, and the restoration of Parlia-
mentary Government may cOuciliate the
existing feeling. BY such means only
can the Emperor expect to mitigate an
opposition which has not yet become
anti-dynaStic.
