GERMANY'S TERMS.
Herald special Report from
London.
TELEGRAM TO the NEW YOaX HERALD.

LONDON Feb. 8, 1871.
Your correspondent is able to state that
although the report which is current here of
the terms demanded by the German empire as
the conditions of peace with France are des-
titute OF official authority, there are good
reasons for believing that they are substan-
TALLY correct
THE TERMs-ALaAog AND PART OF LORRAINE.
The following are the conditions which,
after mature consideration, meet with the
approval of the German authorities -
First-The cession of the whole of Asace
and sixty German square miles of Lorraine,
which consists of 437 square miles, including
the fortress of Metz.
Sec0nd-The payment of the sum of one and
one-half millard francs for the expenses Of
the war, thirty Millions for captured German
ships, and forty millions as indemnity for the
losses sustained by German workmen, clerks
and small indus.rials who have been expelled
from France.
ThirG-A certain rente OF few millions to
be paid for limited time to the Germans who
have been crippled or manned or made or
phans by the war;

The Alabama Claims Bili-ssJ0hn Bull,s'
Lessons in Modern History.


In anticipation Of the speedy verifcatiou of
the highly important intelligence which is con-
tanned in our special cable telegram from Lon
don, to tho effect that Qneen Victoria has
appointed royal commission to proceed to
Washington for the purpose of settling the
Alabama claims account, we have compiled
and publish to-day complete statement of
the American bill of particulars for damages
inflicted on our ocean MAXINE and commerce
by that privateer and her consorts during
the period eff our civil war. This exhibit
is accompanied by brief history of the
Cabinet policy which the government Of Great
Britain observed in the case from the moment
OF Lord John Russell's Ministerial concession
of ''belIigerent rights" to the JEFF Davis gov
ernment, on the 9Th Of Nay, 1861, to the occa-
sion OF the hosting of the Palmetto flag in
Princes Dock. Liverpool, next morning, and
thence to the display of Semmes' ensign on the
Alabama, the career and work of the pirate,
and her final destruction by the Kear sarge.
This special HERALD enterprise will enable
the English commissioners to understand
particularly as it appears accompanied
by plain statements Of the main features Of
the arguments which have been already used
by Mr.. Seward, az Secretary of State, Senator
Summer and the American people at large on
the subject of the English payment Of the
account. 1t is intimated that England has a
bill Of "set-off," TO some extent, against the
American charges. This will, we doubt not,
be calmly considered by President Grant.
Perhaps its amount will be more than covered
by Senator Summers prospective differences
Of the many collateral charges which may arise
or account cf the almost total loss OF our mer-
chant marine through the action OF the Ala
bama and Florida At the date of the latest
footing up the American bill came to one hum
dred and ten millions OF dollars. With the legal
| interest and Senator Summers little drlbiets
added we think that the Anglo-American

respectable little sum against Mr.. John Bulls

Queen Victoria ON tho Affairs Of the Con,
tinent.
Yesterday the British Parliament was for
mally opened. The situation was peculiar.
Great Britain had not found herself in circum-
stances so exceptionable in many years. 1t
was natural, therefore, that much was ex-
pected from the Queens speech. Tn another
place in this days HERALD we reproduce the
Queens speech in full. 1t is not bad speech
as things go, and among the royal and impe-
rial and presidential speeches Of the time it is
entitled to respectable place. In another
column We treat Of the relations of Great
Britain with the United States, and OF the
speech from the Throne in relation to the
same. Satisfactory as the British sentiment
toward che United States seems to be the reIa-
tions Of Great Britain toward. the Continent
and this Franco German war are not less so.
The Queen tells US why she. could not prevent
the war, or make an end Of it when it had
begun. But she does not forget to remind us
that the British government has done much to
hinder complications and prevent war from
spreading on the Continent. We all know
how Great Britain made an effective point at
the commencement of the war by securing tho
neutrality Of Belgium, Holland and Luxem-
bourg. The firmness Of Great Britain at the
commencement of the war was fair in the
fullest sense; but it Is also fair to say that it
killed France. The Queen tells us that she
was anxious to recognize the Government of
National Defence, but could not. She recog-
nizes the restoration of the German empire,
and hopes for good results in the interests of
Germany and the European system. She
speaks of the value OF treaties, and without
blaming Russia or claiming any victory in the
Conference the hope is strongly expressed
that the result of the deliberations in the Con-
ference will be in favor of order and peace
Queen Victoria is kindly woman. We are
not unwilling to echo her good wishes
America and Great Britain reconciIed, and
Great Britain at peace with Europe, how can
there be war?

NapOIeOn's PrOcla natiCD.

Except the mere announcement Of its
Issuance we have nothing concerning the pro-
clamation Of Napoleon to the French people
in reference to the elections in France. The
document will De received with great interest
everywhere. Whether beaten at the polls or
not. Napoleon hes large number of adherents
in France who will doubtless give heed to all
that the prisoner at Wilhelmsh1he has to say
on the political situation. 1t is not likely that
Napoleon will resign himself to a crownless
future. A man who has welded almost
absolute power for twenty years seldom rests
content to end his days in powerless obscurity.
We may, therefore, bearing in mind his ambi-
ton, set it down as certain that Napoleon
desires to ascend the throne of France and
will leave nothing undone to achieve his end.
| The proclamation he has issued may be the
| entering wedge to second coup dkt0t, which
win overwhelm republicans and Orleansts
alike. or it may bepar. Of sk.lful political
game which the Emperor and Bismarck arc
playing. We shall today, doubtless, receive
the text of the latest Napoleonio idea, and
may, perhaps, be able to discover in il some
clue to the future policy of the Bonaparte
dynasty.

he 81. Domingo Expedifion-nears Cor
cerning Its Safety.

The United States steamship Tennessee, hav-
Domingo, accompanied by several prominent
Journalists, sailed from this port on January
L. She was due at st. Domingo about the
18th or 2Gth Of January, eight or nine days
being the usual length of the voyage. Had
she arrived punctually the news could have
been carried, in two or three days more to the
nearest telegraphic station on the island of
Cuba, and have been forwarded here at
least week ago But neither has her arrival
been telegraphed from Havana nor has any
report reached US that she has been seen or
spoken by any passing vessel. A rumor which
can be traced to no reliable source, that the
Tennessee had foundered at sea and that her
passengers, officers and crew had ali persisted,
caused great excitement in Washington and
in New York day before yesterday. Ii has
been pronounced, however, cruel hoax.
What really creates serious appreh ensons--to
be relieved only by authentic news of the safety
of the Tennessee-is the delay in receiving any
news of her at all, when it is remembered that
the stanchest ship, with the bravest and
most skilful commander, is exposed to dread
full peril in the mighticst ocean current
known-the Mexican Gulf Stream-that
immense Atlantic whirlpool, tie birthplace
OF the hurricanes which have 80 often and 60
furiously swept through the straits of Florida
and along our Southern coasts, causing innu-
merable shipwrecks. II is nevertheless an
encouraging fact that the Tennessee was as
admirably fitted as possible to weather the
worst storms of the Calf Stream. If it
be true as we have heard THAI a change
was made in her machinery before she
left, which some believed would lessen
her speed, the poor headway she may
therefore have made may account for her non-
arrival. Her shaft may have broken or she
may havo been disabled by some other acci-
dent Al all events, there is no sufficient rea-
son as yet to despair OF the safety of the ST.
Domingo expedition.

and the closest relations of friendship with the
United States. For the last twenty years or SC
she has been Power on the European Continent
only through her entente cordiale with France
Now the prostration of France and the newly
risen and portentous Power of the German
empire to England makes a close alliance
with the United States necessity, looking to
future contingencies. The bulk of the vast
trade, meantime, between Europe and America
Is between England and the United States.
Upon this trade now hangs the British consti-
tuition. War for six months between John
Bull and Brother Jonathan would precipitate
| French revolution in England and in Ireland.
AS 1t is, the masses Of the British people are
pushing for American ins itutions, and th ere is
no escape for tae British aristocracy except
through the closest relations of harmony with
the United States. Yet, again, her Majesty's
North American territories, under the New
DOMINION, stretching alongside our own from
the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocear, are evidently
intended as future important British balance
OF power on this Continent. But this balance
can be established only through the consent of
the United States, and to secure this consent
the equivalents of the happiest accord between
the two nations must be established.
This 'joint High Commission" at Washing
ton on American affairs may be ranked with
conference of all the great Powers on Euro
pean affairs. Anticipating a complete settle
ment of all the difficulties pending between
the two countries in this Washington Confer
ence, as in our northeastern and northwestern
boundary treaties, we may mark 1t as the
opening of new career to England and to
the United States In generous rivalry they
will only fight for the commercial supremacy
OF the seas; and the United States, England
and Russia, by land and sea, will have work
enough before them in developing their vast
domains, which sweep around the northern
circuit of the globe. Germany will regulate
the European Continent in behalf of peace
The United States, under the new compact of
peace and amity with ENGLAND, will hold
Russia on the seas and in China to terms of
peace. At the same time, step by step, we
may look for q revolution in Great Britain and
Ireland, which will only end in breaking mp
the feudal system and in making the land
open to all the people as we have it here
Gladstone and the English liberals are moving
though cautiously, in this direction; but the
most important movement they have yet con-
ceived for the peaceful liberation OF the British
empire and its people from their feudal sys-
tenn is that of this 'joint High Commission"
looking to the settlement of all existing dis
putes, and to a complete and comprehensive
entente c0rdjals with the United States. The
Anglo-rebel pirate Alabama thus comes in as
great peacemaker. And what does this
hitherto ominous word Alabama signify? 1t
means ''Here we rest"
