LONDON May 1.-Sumner's speech creates intense
excitement in political circles here. At Cabinet meet
ing the subject was informally discussed. Bright de-
cared embarrassment which its publication produced
served Eng land very properly, but be agreed not to
consent to entertain terms of settlement foreshadoweu
by Sumner. Lord Clarendon expressed the belief that
actual negotiations of the subject in progress between
the two countries OF far less extreme character
than supposed. The present administration eager
for lasting continuance of friendly relations with the
United States Gladstone profesSed to have good as
surances from reliable quarters that the recent eec
ton of the Alabama treaty by the American Senate,
was purely political movement aud that the present
administration will endeayor to settle the Alabama
question on liberal terms. Outside tone of the Eng
lish people is anti-American, and more so in conse
quence of having read oE partial publication Of
Summers argument.
The London Star asserts that Summers demands are
new and startling, and must be regarded merely as
ley. That gentleman will stand in a very different po-
siton from that occupied by Johnson Motey's re-
lection as American Minister at St. James is threat
ened is case his instructions merely coincide with the
expressions Of Summers demands, which are utterly
and her Majesty's ministers must be care
full in entertaining them.
The Lo1don Times breathes forth the spirit of war
in defence of the treaty. claiming that Summers money
estimate of damages is porentious and erroneous add
ing that although his address is worthy of attentive
no contrtion or humiliation should
either be expressed or endured by England for if sides
were taken the would be prejudiced against her,
and any project of equitable settlement would be
defeated.
The Standard, tory organ, exhibits spirit of de-
ance towards the American people, and will resist to
the last any captuation by England This position is
by the Liverpool Post, which says that
England cannot afford quarrel, large or small with
America.
