‘TELEGRAPHIC NEWS, The English Debate on the Alabama Claims. French Opposition Vote in Defeat of the Government. ENGLAND. ‘The Alabama Claims Debate—Specch of Mr. Shaw Lefevre. Loxpon, March 8, 1868, In the House of Commons on Friday night, on the ‘Order of the day for going into Committee of Supply, ‘Mr. Shaw Lefevre, in rising to call attention to the failure of negotiations with the United States gov- ernment for arbitration of the Alabama claims, said that in bringing forward this important subject he trusted it would not be supposed that he desired to take a course which would embarrass the future ne- Gotlations of the noble lord, the Foreign Secretary, in his diplomatic correspondence with the govern- Ment of the United States, or which would add to the complications already existing between ‘the United States and this country. It seemed to him and to others, howeves, that some ‘good might arise from the discussion of the subject, if it were con- ‘ducted with candor and a due sense of Tesponsi- bility. He would not ask the House to follow him through a long statement, but there were certain ‘facta and dates with which he must trouble the House. The earnest cause of complaint on the part of the United States government arose out of her Majesty's proclamation of neutrality, which was iasued May 12, 1861, on the advice of the law officers of the Crown. The fall of Fort Sumter took place on the 14th of April, and was generally considered to be the commencement of the civil war. Long before ‘that, however, seven of the Confederate States had Tade great preparations for war, and had virtually separated from the Northern States, The fall of Fort Sumter was followed two days afterwards by the Proclamation of President Lincoln calling out 75,000 men. That was followed by & proclamation from the Confederate States calling out 30,000 men, and invit- }ng privateers to apply for lettersof marque, The next day President Lincoln proclaimed the blockade of the Southern coast, and announced his intention to treat the crews of the privateers as pirates. These reached this country on the 3d of May, and on 6 4th they were published in the London 7imes, @lthough it was not till the 10th that an official Copy reached the Foreign OMice. On the 6th of May her Majesty’s government announced in this House that they should recognize the South as belligerents, and on the 13th of May, as he had stated, the prolama- tion of neutrality was issued by the government. The actual blockade was enforced by the North along the Coast by the end of April; and from {that day for- ‘ward there were in the Prize Courts numerous cases of English vessels captured during the blockade, ‘and of vessels of the Southern States captured on ‘the high seas. It was not until some time afterward that the Southern flag made its appearance. It was the custom of the American government to talk as i all the vessels which carried the Confederate flag had their origin in this country; but there were four cases of Confederate men-of-war, or privateers, Which sailed from Southern porta before any one ‘Was built in this country. The first, it 1s believed, ‘was & vessel caljed the Sumter, which escaped from New Orleans, and which, after capturing several Prizes off Cuba;,put into Trinity on the 29th of July, 1861, That Was the first instance in which the Confederate flag had been recognized by the government of this country. Another vessel—the Nashville—also duly commissioned in a Southern Port, afterwards sailed on a cruise of destruction, and put into English ports at various times. It was not until the following year that any complaint was made of a vessel being built and equipped in our ports. In the course of the winter of 1861-2 the Confederate government sent over here a staff of naval officers with instructions to buy or build ves- sels of war, their main object being to embroil us ‘with the North. They also raised a considerable loan, out of the proceeds of which these vessels were to be paid for. In due course the Oreta, or Florida, ‘was completed by Messrs. Miller 4 Co., of Liver- pool. The American Minister having made a com- Plaint in respect to this vessel inquiries were made, and the Collector of Customs, a gentleman who seemed on all occasions to have been casily mis!e4, asserted his belief that she was intended for the Itallan Govérnment. She cleared for Palermo, but she sailed direct for Nassau, there underwent some judicial investigation; then obtained a portion of her armament and ran the blockade into Mobile, whence in due time she sailed as a vessel of war, burning and destroying every federal she fell in with. In his complaints of the doings of that vessel Mr. Adams pointed out that another vessel was being built in thé Messrs. Laird’s yard also for the Confederates. ‘The Collector of Customs, on being consulted about that vessel, reported that she was obviously intended for war purposes, that her owners did not deny it, but that they refused to say for whom. On the 2ist of July, 1862, aMdavits were obtained by the American Consul throwing light upon her intentions. Among these was one from Passmore, who stated that he had been told by Captain Bullock, who engaged him, that the vessel was intended to fight the North. These affidavits the next day (the 22d) .were also ‘sent to the Foreign Omce by Mr. Adams, and on the 234 the solicitor to the American government, Mr. Syramey, on calling at the Foreign Office was in- formed by Mr. Layard that the papers had been sent the 22 to the law officers. The honorable and fearned member for Richmond (Sir R. Palmer, then Attorney General) had on a previous occasion told them that they only reached jim on the 28th. During that interval they appear to have been left with the Queen's Advocate, who, according to the routine of the office, would have given his opinion and sent them on to the Attorney General. Unfor- tunately at that very moment the then Queen’s Advocate was suffering from a severe malady, from which it was to be feared he never would recover; and the result was that long delay. That fact hitherto had not been stated tn this House, chiefly through the kind reserve of the honor- able and learned member for Richmond; but as ina conversation between Lord Russell and Mr, Adams, reported in the American oficial correspondence, the delay was attributed to that cause, and as {t was wel) known in the States, there was no longer any reason for the reserve, On the 28th the papers reached the Attorney General, who at once gave his opinion, and orders were sent the next day to stop the vessel. On the next day, unfortunately, before the order arrived or was executed, the builders got wind of it and the Alabama got away by a strategem, under the pretence of a trial trip, without a clear- ance and with a party of ladies and music on board, but not without great suspicion of treachery, the cause of which he belleved was freely spoken of tn Liverpool. She went to Port Lynas, near Beaumaris, where she received part of her crew, and then sailed to the Azores, where she was met by another vessel, from which she obtained the rest of her men and armament. When it was dis- covered that she had escaped orders were sent to Queenstown and Nassau to detain her; but she avoided those ports, and when she put into a British port in Jamaica she was received as a properly com- missioned vessel of war, From that time to the end of her career she never put into a Southern port; but she frequently received hospitality, sometimes ofa demonstrative character, in British ports. She burned all of her prizes, which she constantly decoyed by flying British colors. Her crew was fof the most part English; some of her officers were English, and she was paid for by money raised in England on the chance of the success of the South, Her function was not to fight, but to burn and to destroy and run away. She was a kind of firebrand, lighting the sea with bonfires of different merchant vessels. The damage she did was enormous. The like of such an enterprise had never before been known, and was scarcely possible until steam had given such a great advantage to such vessels over merchantmen, which wore of the most part sailing vessela. The name of that vessel, her cruise, her bonfires, her English origin and connection he regretted, and the cheers of that House he also regretted when an honorable member boasted of his connection with her, and said he wouid rather be the builder of her than make the speeches which the honasable member for Rochdale had made, (Hear, hear.) All these had entered deep into the hearts of the Ameri- can peop'e, and had done untold mischief in raising ili feeling between them and us. (Hear, hear.) He supposed there were few now who would not look upon all those who were connected with that vessel ag among the greatest malefactors of the age. Un- fortunately, they were never brought before a crimi- Bai tribunal; and it was, perhaps, on account of their immunity that other similar attempts were made— some successful, others not so, He need not recall to the memory of the House the case of the iron-clad rams also built by Messrs. Laird. The gov- ernment by that time had learned that tf they foilowed the, strict line they had pur- sued in the case of the Alabama, viz., of insisting upon strict evidence to connect the vessel with the South and disregarding the surrounding circumstances of violent suspicion, the vessels would get away. In the case of the rams the gov- ernment overstepped the line of the law and de- tained them on their own responsibility, pending further inquiries. It would be recollected that Lord Cairns made a flerce attack upon the government, and onlyfailed by six votes in defeating them. Was there @ member of this House, he wondered, who did not wish that the same course had been pursued in the case of the Alabama? Another vessel, called the Pampero, was also seized at Glasgow, and was condemned in the courts there. At the close of the war she was restored to her owners, who responded to that act of kindness by immediately rushing into another similar enter- prise, and under the name of the Tornado that ves- se! had done her best to complicate our relations with Spain. Two other vessels, however, escaped without, as far as he could learn, any information or complaint having been made by the American Minis- ter. They were the Georgia and the Sea King, after- wards the Shenandoah. Both these vessels sailed by stealth from our ports, met other vessels bringing guns and men to them somewhere beyond our juria- diction, and then started on the same errand as the Alabama. In the case of the last vessel he should mention that a letter from the American Minis- ter at London to his own government showed that there was much.to be sald on the other side of the question as to the negligence of the American authorities. He complained in his letter that he was not yet Informed of the where- abouts of the federal cruisers, and sald if he had been he might have been able to stop the vessel, as he knew what was going on at Liverpool. The ves- sels he had named constituted for a long intervai the cruising force, he believed, of the Confederate navy, except, perhaps, two or three coasting privateers or some floating batteries which never left their ports. Of these six vessels four escaped from our ports. The damage done by them was very great. They captured or burned upwards of two hundred mer- chant vessels, with cargoes valued at about £3,000,000. A considerable portion of that loss, however, fell upon English insur- ance ‘companies, Another portion fell in the same way, owing to the enhancement of the price of oll and other commodities destroyed. But the damage to the Americans was not measured only by the loss of these vessels; their commerce fled their flags, freights rose so high in consequence of the rate of insurance that their vessels could not get them; large numbers of their vessels were so!d either really cr collusively to us to be registered under our flag. What they lost we gained. In two years the foreign commerce of America, carried under their flag, fell to about one-third of what it was before, while that under our flag doubled, This, pernaps, not unnaturally raised a suspftion in the minds of the people in the North that the ship build- ers and ship owners of Liverpool were not even disinterested in the ald which they gave to the slave owning South. Those only who travelled in America since the war could, he believed, appre- ciate the harm which had been done b; by the cases which he mentiened, or the extent to which ill fecl- ing had been roused in that country. At the same time he did not wish to ex: te or alarm on this subject, for he did not t that war would ever arise out of the matter. He believed that it was the feeling and desire of most all classes in this country and in America to see this pehseenne brought to proper, amicable conclusion, and t only question was how that best could be done, and what should be the of the arbitration. He would next refer to the man- ner in which einkcommacy, had dealt with tt. The first ition of the belligerent rights and Mr. Adams arrived in this of the Southerners: . country—which they miist ali regret he would shortly quit—on the very day the proclamation of neutrality was issued. His first task appears to have been to communicate with Lord Russell, and he expressed regret that the British government had decided to issue that proclamation, which at once the surgent States into belligerents, Lord Russel! re; ye that the proclamation was due to the advice of the law officers of the Crown, and that in recog- nizing the insurgent States as Sat At no opinion was ¢: on the m of the war. Mr, Adams, while stating his readiness to assent to that view under other circumstances, inti- mated that the act appeared to be a little more rapid than the occasion ually called for. At a subse- quent period Mr. Adams tested in conversation against the course pursu but in the diplomatic communications no offical despatch between the two countries referring to the fact of the it was to be found until a very recent period, although in the letters from Secretary Seward to Mr. Adams there is abundant reference to this matter. Such was not the case in regard to the Confederate cruisers. No sooner was it known that the Alabama had escaped and was burning American vessels than Mr. Adams made a claim against our government for compen- sation for the damage. He founded his claim on the remissness of our government permitting her escape, but he said mmang of the question of recognition in connection with {t. This was in November, 1863, Complaint was also made that ‘we allowed this vessel to enter our portsand that we did not amend our laws when we found them defec- tive in October, 1863, Further tnformation having been received of the number of vessels burned by the cruisers the correspondence on that point was re- sumed; and in the course of that correspondence Mr. Adams for the first time offered arbitration to the British government. But nothing was said about the pre jon of bell! nt rights, the complaint being ined solely to t e remissness of the government! in not maintaining the neutrality they pro’ and in not putting the Foreign Ent ent act in force and thereby preventing those vessels ieaving British ports, On that occasion he did not find that Lord Rns- sell took notice of this offer of arbitration. The noble lord simply met the claim of Mr. Adams and denied its justice. From that time the claims lay dormant for nearly two hag at and when they were renewed, in the case of the last vessel, the question of bellig- erency was then for the first time brought forward. In the course of the correspondence Lord Russeli ad- verted to the claims made by Portugal {n 1824, and pointed out how similar they were to those now made by the federal government on England; and he also pointed out that the United States took the saine line of defense then as England did now. The noble Lord then adverted to the a of arbitration, and observed that he could not consent to submit to the arbitration of any foreign government the two ints—whether the British government had acted with due diligence in maintaining the neutrality they had proctaimed and whether the law officers of the crown had properly interpreted the Forelgn Enlistment act, neither of which questions could be submitted to a foreign arbi- tration with any regard to the dignity of this country. With this the correspondence closed for some period; but President Johnson, in his message to Congress in 1865, observed that the accordance of belligerent rights to the insurgent States was unprecedented, and expressed regret that Great Britain had declined arbitration on the subject. President Johnson's message, December, 1365, says “the formal accordance of belligerent rights to the insurgent States was unprecedented, and has not been justified by the issue. But in the system of neutrality pursued by the powers which made that concession there was a marked difference. British ships nanned by British subjects and prepared for receiving British armaments, sailed from the ports of Great Britain to make war on the American com- merce, under the shelter of a commission from the insurgent States, These, once escaped from British ports, ever afterwards entered them in any part of the world, to refit and to renew their depredations, The consequences of this conduct were most disastrous to the States then in rebellion, increasing their desolation and misery by the prolongation of a civil contest, It had, moreover, the effect to a great extent to drive the American flag from the sea, and to transfer much of our shipping and our commerce to the very Power whose subjects had created the necessity of such a change. e sincere desire for peace by which I am actuated led me to approve the fans already made to submit the questions which ad thus arisen between, the countries to arbitration. These questions are of such moment that they must have commanded the attention of the great Powers, and are so interwoven with the peace and Interests of every one of them as to have insured an im- artial decision. 1 regret to inform you that reat Britain declined the arbitrament.” The United States did not preret the subject as an impeachment of the good faith of a Power which was professing the most friendly dispositions, but as in- volving questions of public law, of which the settie- ment ia essential to the peace ‘of nations; and thou: rh yparation to their injured citizens would nave ntally followed in a decision against Great Britain, such compensation was not their pri- mary object. They had a higher motive. It was in the interest of peace and justice to establish important principles of international law. | Ti ‘ound on which the British Minister rests his justification is substantially that the municipal law of a Sin ES Cat a a RR SE a Nace a cae a a a ta RL ted 8 Rae nc cate ac ie vacate ene i ace INTs abiin naan Saas th Le ee NEW YORK HERALD, MUNDAY, MAKUH 9, 1868. which he alluded were fore autumn of 1865, When Parliament met in 1866 Derby stated in another piace ‘that he Lord Russell an jection the course taken by the late one two meinbers hav! discussion came on tt would elicit so stroi Pression of disapproval of arbitration thal consultation with his friends, and especially w! honorable member from Bradford, he thought it better not to progress with it, feeling confident that the subject must come on again at some future time, and in the meantime it was not wise to commit the house too strongly inst it. If anything at that time seemed more improbable than even household suff- rage coming from a conservative government it was that they should offer arbitration for the settlement of the Alabama claims, (A laugh.) Their whole atti- tude in their speeches during the war seemed to render it im) ible. But it seemed that office brought with great change and sense of respon- sibility which was wanting before. Perhaps, also, the two changes with respect to reform and to the mode of looking at American questions were not so unconnected with one another as might at first a) pear. The hostility of certain ‘ties in this country to the federal cause was due mainly to adi of its institutions, to an instinct that in the success of the North was involved the success of ponelar government. it was the homage paid to the of American institutions. On the success of the North there followed an immediate necessity for an advance towards democracy here, and it was only right that it should be accompanied by a very differ- ent tone towards America. He had no desire to taunt the honorabie members with either one charge or the other. He rejoiced in both, They were bot eq beneficial to the count aa to the honorable members opposite; but it was right that in estimating our resent ition we should bear this change in mind. The rst srupiom of this change was to be found re- corded in Mr. Adams’ account of hfs first interview with the new Foreign Minister. Mr. Adams, writing to Mr. Seward, July 12, 1866, speaking of this first in- terview with Lord tanley, says:—His lordship, welcoming me, remarked that he presumed his sen- timents toward the United States had been long well known to me, He had always favored the cultivation of friendly relations with us, (The telegraph wires were interrupted at this poiat, and nothing further was received at the time of going to press.)

William Kriel, a butcher, seized his wife by the throat, threw her violently upon the floor, and drawing a six barreled revolver fired, the ball entering just above the left ear, causing her death almost instantly. Kriel then placed the pistol to his own head and fired, the ball glancing and inflicting a slight wound. At this moment the sister of Mrs, Kriei entered the sperraee whereupon Kriel again discharged the pistol at nisown head and ran, but was captured after a short chase. The cause ass! for the crime was that Mrs. Kriel, having received inhuman treatment at the hands of her husband, had gone to live temporartiy with her mother. Krie! met her at her mother's residence yesterday, and yocoming enraged with ber killed her. MISSOURI. A Prizo Fighi Strapged Between MeCoole and Alien. St. Louis, Math 8, 1868, Allen and Pickett, two English pugilists, gave a sparring exhibition here Saturday night, at which McCoole had a set to with Allen, during which the latter hit the former nine times in the face. After the exhibition a number of the fancy adjourned to Looney's saloon, where the mat- ter was talked over and bets feely offered that Allen could whip McCoole. They were immediateiy taken by McCoole and his friends, and a match was ar- ranged for $1,000 a side, and $300 put up on the spot. The contest will be fought on the 17th of March within fifty miles of St, Louis, Many of McCoole'’s backers in the Coburn match strongly protested against the arrange- ment with Allen, and some charge that it was got up in the interest of Coburn in the hope that Mc- Coole might be disabled in some way and prevented from ‘appearing in the great battle in May. Much ex- citement aas existed among the fancy to-day, and it is said to-night that McCoole has deen prevailed upon by his friends and backers to withdraw the match with Allen for the present. But he will challenge him to fight for $2,000 or upwards one of three months his battle with Coburn. + A fire in Carondelet, six miles below the city, on Saturday night. destroyed scvera! thonsana doltars’ worth of property.
