SUSPENSION OF THE MORNING HERALD
THE CUNARD STEAMERS AND THE MAILS.
IRON OUR own CORRESPONDENT
LONDON, Years Day-The appearance of the
new Alabama dispatches has produced a plentiful
crop of rumoFs to the actual condition of the nego
tiatiOns. Such mere Tumors need not repeat,
but have one statement authority that ought to
be good. Lord Clarendon, 1t is affirmed, has made
proposition or suggestion to the American Govern
ment looking to the separation of the Alabama ques
ton from the other matters in dispute between the
two countries, with view to its immediate settle
ment How he means 10 settle ii have not heard.
nor do think it Of great consequence to find out,
since the proposition is not one which Mr.. Fish will
be likely to entertain. The maneuver is rather that
of clever attorney than of a skillful diplomatist.
and is much better adapted for effect
the minds of the English public than for acceptance
by our Secretary of State. No doubt Lord Claren-
don would be only too happy TO make concessions III
the Alabama matter-cOncessiOns which he well
knows will have TO be made sooner or laer-fOr the
sake of avoiding concessions on points which
are more doubtful, or, at any rate, more
Obstnately contested at present by the British
Government Then, having the Alabama well
out of the way, he would find il comparatively
easy to resist the American demands for further
dress-demands which Mr. Seward pressed steadily
after repeated refusals demands which even the
Johnson Convention recognized subjects for arbi
tration and which Lord Clarendon can have no hope
of escaping except by such stratagem as he has
embodied in his latest proposal.
The Alabama is certainly entitled TO be called the
Flying Dutchman of diplomacy. Her appariton on
what was only last week, clear horizon, is as
sudden, and as unwelcOme aud even omnous as
it used to be when the ship itself was dscerned by
some peaceful merchantmen at sea- The recent cor
respondence seems to be published apropos of nothing
IN particular. 1t is published here because it was
published in America; or, as one journal remarks,
because it is inconsistent with the dignity of this
Government that its correspondence should be given
to the British people by foreign journals. Precisely
why Mr. Fish printed it is not understood here, since
it does not cover any completed stage of the pending
negotiations.
However. being printed 1t has had its proper share
Of comment public and pTiyats Having duly read
