Bright and Gladstone are In receipt
of letters daily, from persons offering
a reeommencement of the Reform
i League agitation, but they discOunte-
nance the movement at present, and
express the belief that the Lords will
! recede at the last moment from their
opposition to the will of the people,
though a compromise is effected in
the pOstponement of the date of dis
establishment to January 1872. by
laying in aElump, the sum of half
million pounds In lieu of private do

interest to be computed at fourteen
years purchase.
The following letter has been circu-
lated privately among the known pro-

SIR: In view of probable failure
! of the Irish Church bill, through the
/ opposition of the House of Lords to
! the Government, the Commons and
! the country, you are requested to in
! form the Secretary of the Reform
League whether you are willing that
your name shall be used in the event
of a defeat of that measure, to pub
1 the best constitutional method Of
getting rid Of this obstruction to leg
islation. based upon the expressed
will of the people. "
LONDON, July 9.-The Times re-
CARDS the postponement of the debate
on the Alabama claims with satisfac-
ton. Their introduction at the pres
ent moment would serve no good
| "a Ic, 90 ff -
ness with respect to the subjects on
both sides neccssitates an interval of
| considerable period before it is re-
sumed. The debate could only be
| useful if Parliament disapproved of
the conduct of the Ministry, or
wished to instruct it in regard to
/ future negotiations, but there is no
| dissatisfaction.
The only charge against Lords
| Stanley and Clarendon is that they
were too yielding, but the Commons
were not likely to advise the with
drawal Of the concessions made, nor
were they prepared to lay down
plan for future negotiations, and
anticipations of such results from dis
cussion were most imprudcnt.
Another reason for declining dis
cussion is a due regard for the ma
| tional dignity, which forbids our APP
preaching the Government on these
questions. Public opinion is unani-
nous on this point. The late treaty
was virtually American, for it was
made, altered. and re-altered by
/ Seward and johnson. 1t was re-
jected as much through party antipa-
| thies as from discomfort with it's pro-
visions. 1t was probably fOredoOmed,
aud, whatever its provisions might
/ have been, in all likelihood would
have met the same fate. England is
ready to listen to any proposals from
| America; out to display desire to
| receive them favorably would tend to
increase. not lessen, the demand
/ When Mr.. Motley considers the feel
| ing of America is such that treaty
| consistent with the tenor Of England 5
views will satisfy Americans, he may
address the Government for a re
newal of nego -iatiOns. Only such
treaty will have a chance of accept
apce.
Nothing more is desired than to
live in peace with a kindred nation,
but now less disposition exists TO
sacrifice the interests and dignity of
the country to any unjust pretentions.
! The public will not approve of any
| eagerness to negotiate, which seemss
| to forbOde weakness when the time
| for negotiation comes. The preva-
| lence of the more moderate views of
America Is gratifying, and it IS to be
hoped that the question Of the
| Queens neutrality proclamation,
which has dropped out of sight, will
| be tacitly abandoned. This favorable
! change IS owing to the discovery that
| England will not concede beyond
certain point, aud this resolution Is
not likely to be shaken.
The Star is glad the Alabama dis
cussion has been postponed. The
| American resentment against Eng
land is likely to become weaker, and
| her desire 20 reduce the burden of the
public debt stronger The best the
ory for both countries is to hold their
peace, for while no general discussion
| can simplify matters, the new House
! of Commons evidently preferred to
! leave the responsibility on the Gov
ernment, and the Star thinks the
country will approve It's present self
| restraInt.
