England.

LONDON, June 5.-Thc moderate speech Of
Lord Clarendon in the House of Lords last night
upon the Alabama claims treaty ELECTED the
following comments from the press:
The Times referring to the claims of Americans,
says considering the readyconcessions OF
England, we wonder the latter got off SO well.
The rejection of the treaty was more a lucky
chance than the result of the firmness of any
body engaged in behalf OF Great Britain.
The Standard says: negotiations for the
Alabama treaty failed because America never
intended them to succeed. If England
now says that it is her duty to renew her
efforts for peaceful settlement it is without
hope. Our honest desire for such settlement
will not be appreciated but y small section
of the American people. In the mentime, until
| the details of Motley's mission are known, we
| should fold our hands and limit our compli-
ments to him as great historian" tr l.5'aa
| The Star says Americans can no longer doubt
| our willingness to do them right, or our deter
mination to preserve our national character and
| credit. -
