The London Press on MIR. Motiey's Mission.
The London Times OF the 1st inst. says:-We do
not presume to anticipate Mr. Motley's comm unica
tons but there is probably substantial truth in the
statement tina. his instructions very widely dif-
fercnt from the tenor OF Mr.. Summers speech. Such
Is the opinion OF the American press, and for deh-
mite Information on the subject we may refer the
reader to the letter from the United States which we
publish to-day. The effect produced In England by
the rejection Of the treaty and the speech which ac
companed it has produced q more cautious
If not more friendly demeanor on the
part of the Americans. It Is justly observed
that, though fortnight ago they were
declaring that Mr.. Sumner expressed with perfect
accuracy the national opinion hrs speech Is all
but repudlated. We are told that Mr.. Motley's IN
structIons are to be generally friendly with the
British government, and 10 avoid anything that may
compromise the relations between the two countries
t IL furthermore sald that he VIII not take the lni
tiative IN reopening tue Alabama controversy, but
that n our government make proposals he VIII be
prepared to maintain the American view, chief
feature OF which is that England committed wrong
iu act Ia the neutrality proclamation. We
are not informed what practical Injury the
American government attributes to the proclama-
tion or how far II considers Us pecuniarlly liable.
IL may be that II the neutrality proclamation came
into question the difference between Mr.. Sumner
| and the Presidents government would prove TO be
only one OF degree But for the present. as,we under
stand, no new demand has been addressed TO Us,
and Mr.. Motley Will enter on his duties without tue
prospect OF any immediate controversy. II this be
| the Intention OF the American government the
course to be taken by our own Is obvious We have
| done all that our own Judgment suggested or that
| was suggested 10 us by the American government,
| for the examination OF the Alabama claims We
| have concluded treaty 10 which every original

dispute placed In regular train for settlement;

Power which rejected IL TO show IN what IT was de-
ncent aud to invite consideration TO any new pro-
ject All that be expected Of our government IL
that II shall be ready 10 examine any new proposals
| which may be made aud 10 consider whether they
| really promise more just and equitable solution
than that arrived at last autumn. III II be true that
| the neutrality proclamation is made grievance OF
