By Atlantic Cable.
LONDON May 24.-The papers OF this morn
ing contain striking articles with d view OF the
approaching arrival of Mr.. Motley, the newly
appointed American Minister to the Court OF st.
James. The Times, a Gladstone paper, con-
cludes that Mr.. Motley will make no fresh
overtures on the Alabama claims,
no new proposals have been offered to
England. The deadlock or the ques-
tiOn would excite no apprehension but
from the fact that the Americans display no
disposition to divide the material from the SEN
timental grievances, and it quotes a notorious
anti-American organ of New York in support of
the position. II says that whatever wrong may
have happened owing to the neutrality procla-
nation of the Queen was purely accidental, and
asserts resolutely that in order TO maintain the
claims arising from the Alabama depredations,
as identical with other wrongful captures, it
cannot permit TO be erased from the category
the fact that such demands are made on
the ground that unfriendly spirit pre-
ceded the escape of the depreciation. The
demand for atonement of unfriendiness is OF
another character, and can be resisted on the
ground that whatever direction the British sym
pathies took, the Government cannot be held
accountable. On such point international
tribunal will certainly separate the one from the
other. Let no misdirection of sympathy, but
settled reflection and cool communinss OF con-
science settle the questions and on both sides
let the alleged injuries be measured and ap-
praised by the proper tribunals. That course
may open a way for a settlement OF the difficult
ties, and we shall be rejoiced TO find that the
Americans have discovered it.
The Star (Bright's organ) takes up the theme
of the recent speech of Mr., Forster, Liberal
member of Parliament, and epdesyors to show
that the neutrality proclamation was real
| benefit TO the North. 1t assails Mr. Sumner for
endeavoriug to endanger the peace between the
two countries, and argues that while general
society in England favored the South, the
laboring classes undoubtedly sympathiled with
| the American Government Ii further de-
| clares that general opinion may probably
| be uufaVorable to the Irish Church BILL but is
| certainly opposed to an ample and statesmauike
| settlement of the Irish land question, which is
| sure to be the next great act OF the Government,
| and will be established in despite OF such feel
| ing 1t therefore believes that il is mpolitiC on
| the part of American statesmen to spurn the
! friendly offer OF few millions Tor the purpose
| of claiming fabulous damages for the futile
| atfronts of the foilcd and abashed upper ten
| thousand.
The Standard Ca Tory organ) bitterly assails
! guage O affection and admiration. The taJtery
! with which Americans have been besmearedis the
cause OF the existing menacing attitude. No
man with English blood in his veins could deal
with Mr.. 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 the chastise-
ment, and all but committed itself by the
| message addressed TO such nation as England,
! which could but answer the challenge uttered by
| America 1t remembers the plain facts OF the
| war, and cannot be humbuSged into the belief
that the bulk Of the English people approved OF
| the subiugation of the South. Such assertions
make Americans believe that England by telling
| lies wishes TO escape % thrashng We were never
! guilty of meannoss in denying the sympathes
! we entertained in order to escape the displea-
1 sure of the successful party of the educated
| classes who sympathZed with the South. We
| are a nation in which the masses are only fol-
| This MORNINGS Quotations.
