LONDON, June 4.-ln the House Of Lords,
this evening, Sir Statiord de Radcliffe moved
for copy Of ell the Alabama treaty. he said
the government had shown the greatest con-
ciliation in it's desire TO maintain peace, and
trusted that when negotiations we're resumed
between the two countries ealmer spirit than
that which succeeded Mr.. Summers speech
would show its influence. He hoped that me-
gotiations would place their relations upon a
satisfactory footing, and all would rejoice il
that end could be attained by the able man
whom all loved.
Lord Clarendon regretted the unavoidable
delay in furnishing the papers called for. He
traced the history Of negotiations. and said
that the House Of Commons was not entitled
to assume that the majority Of the Senate and
people Of the United States supported MIR.
Summers demand. he believed that without
intervention the sympathetic feelings and good
sense Of America would ultimately prevail. The
friendly feelings of the United States were re-
ciprocated. He would shrink fro no sacrifice
to maintain peace, but the national honor must
be maintained. he was not aware OF the nature
ofMr. Motley's instructions, but he hoped what
had occurred would promote and not hinder
negotiations, as the terms that England was viii
ling to accord or must refuse were well known.
LONDON, June 5.-The temperate speech Of
Lord Clarendon, in the House Of Lords, last
evening, on the subject Of the Alabama treaty,
elected the following comments from the Lon
don journals, this morning:
The Standard says "Negotiations for the
Alabama treaty failed because America never
intended them to succeed. II ENGLAND now
admits that it is her duty to renew her efforts
for peaceful settlement, it is withc ut hope.
Our honest desire for such settlement will
not be appreciated but by small section Of
the American people. Meantime, until the
details Of Motley's mission are known, We
should fold our hands aud limit our eompli-
ments to him as,a great historian"
The Star says Americans can no longer
doubt our willingness to do them right, OF our
determination to preserve our national char
sctes and credit"
The Post says new attempt for the settle
ment ofthe Alabama claims must come from
America, and hopes that due precaution vii |
be taken to secure England against accepting
treaty almost with humility, which will be
rejected at last with contumely.
The Standard, after attrbuting arrogance
and greed to America, slys: "No English min
lister ever had to make any explanation 30 hu-
miliahng as that winch Lord Clarendon had
uttered in the House Of Lords. However con-
scious Of the sincerity Of his motives and the
initiation to be obliged to treat, in the conven-
tional phrases OF diplomacy, with country
that has actsd as the United States did il the
Alabama case" s.S
The Telegraph ministerial organ) says
"From what has transpired in the House of
Lords last night, Minister Motley can ascer-
tain what hopes there are to reopen negotia-
. tons, end he will see that, IN the opinion Of
Enghshmen, the country has gone far enough.
What he may solicit with success, he can find
in the articles Of the rejected convention; and
what is hopeless even to suggest, he can find
in Senator Summers speech
