The following special despatches to the Heap have been received from our corre- ‘spondent in the capital of Great Britain :— Lonpon, Feb. 5, 1872. The Loudon Times discusses the subject of the Alabama claims and the relations of Eng- land towards the United States editorially to- day. The writer of the Times’ article says:—“‘The Treaty of Washington has become inoperative for the reason that itis not based ona per- fect understanding between the signatory parties. It is with the utmost reluctance that ‘we contemplate the possibility that the refer- ence of this question to an Arbitration Court will come to nothing and that there will re- main nothing of the expectations thus raised ofa successful issue of the case.” The London Times adds :—‘‘ England must be extremely moderate. A satisfactory anewor from Washington, excluding the American claim for indirect damages from the vase cannot be anticipated, andthe misunder- standing which will thus be definitively established batween Great Britain and the United States can have no sequel but an abandonment of the idea of reference for , whitration.” THE QUEENS SPEECH TO PARLIAMENT. Lonpoy, Feb. 5, 1872. ‘The Queen's speech to Parliament in its refer- ence to the Alabama claims is short, friendly and general. The London News says the Queen in her speech on the opening of Parliament to-mor- row will express a wish that the arbitration tribunal at Geneva may be able to pro- ceed with its duties ‘‘ona basis acceptable to the English government and nation.” A bill for the abolition of the Polynesian coolle slave trade will be introduced in Parlia- ment, | OPINIONS OF THE ENGLISH PRESS, Provocation to the National Excitement. Lonpon, Feb. 5, 1872. ‘The London Times, in its editorial leader of Satur- flay, uses the following language:— “We repudiate &he coastruotion which has been put upon the Treaty of Washington in the American case, and must fwithdraw from arbitration if this construction is Ansisted on. But this point rectified, we are ready ‘to stand loyally by the treaty.” The “ Weeklies” For War aud Against. PERPETUAL MENACE. The London weekly papers, most of which went ‘to press on Thursday or Friday, about the time the | Murry of indignation in the Americar case culml- mated, were savage and bellicose, especially the Sat- wurday Review. The weeklies generally took the @round that “the United States preferred to have no settiement, and wished to hola these Alabama claims as a perpetual menace for political uses.” More Calm After Reflecti ‘The tone of the city press on the Alabama claims @uestion has slightly moderated to-day. li the | journals took forward to the Queen’s speech to Par- lament to-morrow for @ positive announcement of the stand taken by the English government with | gegard to tne American case. { Net Hopeful, and Doubtlul of a Settlement. The London Times to-day 1s afraid that the attempt to soive the Alabama difficulty may prove abortive, and hopes a failure will not excite bitter feelings tn America. The same tone pervades the articles of the | majortty of the other morning journais of tne city co-day. American Propagandism of the Case of the Republic. The London Times complains editorially this morning that the American case has been trans: | ated Into the Continental languages and scattered broadcast over Earope, and says, ‘If the intention isto make retraction impossible no method could be onosen which could prove more effective.” “Our expectation of a successful issue,” continues the London Times, ‘18 extremely moderate. We do not give up all hope; but a misunderstanding once deing established there can be no sequel other than the abandonment of all reference of the claims toa board of arbitration.” Reason and Logic from an Aristocratic Sourre. The London Post of this murning thinks “it will be time enough when the United States refuse to ‘withdraw their demand for indirect damages to de- cide upon future action, Menaces now are un- Gracious,” Extra Parliamentary Opinion ef Indirect Damage. Ata banquet of liberals held at Lambeth to-night Hon, Peter John Locke King, member of Parliament for East Surrey, presided, Mr. William McArthar, member of Partiament for Lambeth, made a speech, in which he referred to the Alabama case, and said “he scorned the claims of tne United States government for indirect dam- ages.” Mr, McArthur is a mercnant, largely engaged in the Austra'ian wade, having houses m Sydney and Melbourne. He served as Sherif’ of London and Middlesex. He is son of the late Rev. John McAr- thur, a Wesleyan minister in Londonderry, Ireland, and a firm supporter of the Wesleyan cause. THE FEELING IN FRANCE. Watched with Auxiety. Paris, Feb. 5, 1872. Great interest is felt here In the discussion of the Alabama claims now going on in England, and the result is awaiteu with much anxiety, THE FEELING IN WASHINGTON. President Grant on the Situation—He Shrinks from the Idea of War—Has Seen Enough of It—Our Prospects in a Fight—England’s Commerce at Our Mercy—Our Ports De- fensible—Possible Accommodation— Schenck in the Dark—Bout- well Calls It a Job— Butler Disappointed. ‘The tenor of the Henap’s despatch of yesteraay in regard to tne Geneva Conference complications is abundantly confirmed. Up to this morning nothing had Leen heard from Minister Schenck of really great moment, but to-day advices were re- ceived from him by the State Department. Mr. Schenok says that the attacks of the nglish news- papers on the American case, and especially on the claim for consequential damages, were INSTIGATED BY THE GLADSTONE GOVERNMENT to forestall the tory attack on the Treaty of Wash- ington upon the opening of Parltament. In this he has already been anticipated by these despatches, and it 1s plain from them, as well as General Schenck’s advices, that Mr. Gladstone, fearing that the tories might point to the American demands as evidence that the English liberal administration nad been overreached and England betrayed, gave notice through his organs that tno American view is not assented to by him, and in this way has endeavored to prevent any movement looking to a vote of want of confidence; but General Schenck indicates a much more tmportant view of this action, and one which completely disposes of the rumors put in circulation by interested persons, to the effect that tne English press has been used as the ve- hicle of @ grand stock-jobbing enterprise. ‘This is that the tribunal, not being in session and the members, unlike jurymen, not betng prevented trom reading the newspapers, the arbitrators cannot fall to be INFLUENCED TO OUR PREJUDICE by the English cry out of indignation against the American argument, Generat Schenck re- ports that in English official circles it is not considered that the affair concerns the American government at all. In this he has been completely hoodwinked, and he standa in the becullar attitude of @ Minister who has neither been used by the English government nor our own as the medium of communication; and so, unless the State Department here puts a very unjust in- terpretation upon his reports of the English view of the situation, he could not be expected to know that the discussion had not been confned to the newspapers, and had been the subject of anxtous conferences BETWEEN THE TWO GOVERNMENTS, 7% The news has made @ profound sensation here, and already active Congressmen were on the alert to take advantage of the occason. General Butler waited patiently throughout’ the trial contest over the drawing of seats to get in a resolution asking the President if any official information had been received by our government on tne subject, but he is now uncertain whether he wili introduce it, as the exigency which seemed to require a resolution of inquiry seems to have passed, Everywhere in the capital the question was the subject of conver- sation, but the only remarkable opinion was that of Mr. Secretary Boutwell, fresh from nis Syndicate experiences, who pronounced THE WHOLB THING A JOB. The Presiden: adheres to his original determina- tion, He said that he saw no occasion for anxtety. He had been thinking very seriously upon the sub- Ject, and was desirous of an accommodation. But his mind was clear upon the subject. We had made up our case, and it was for the tribunal at Geneva to deciae upon its merits. He called attention to the singular fact first published in yesterday's HERALD, that the English had asked our representatives wo consider the Confederate loan as a proper claim; yets ‘ SAID THE PRESIDENT, here were claims which were in direct violation of an especial amendment to the constitution, and which could not be patd without violation of our fundamental law. We had shown no excitement when @ claim was made which was in many re- spects an indignity, an outrage upon our national honor, and why should England show temper when we presented & case which was reaily only the case of one side, ana did not impose upon England the change of a law. 48 FOR WAR the President had no concern. He did not think there was the least danger of war. He had not read the despatches of Schenck, but there certainly would be @ ground of compromise when the mater was talked over. As to war, he shrank from it, He had never seen any war which was in any way agreeable—which was not unspeakable pain. He had been through the Mexican war, and did bis duty as well as he knew how. He had seen as much of war as any man in America perhaps, ana he knew what it meant, and had NO FEAR OF BEING WHIRLED INTO IT, As to our defences, there was no ground for anxiety. To be sure we had no such navy as England, but there was not a por on the Atlantic, and perhaps on the Pacific, that could not be made inaccessible to a hos- tile fleet in three weeks. By our torpedo system alone we could protect them. As to any naval en- gagements, while aamitting that in a pitched naval battle like those seen In Nelson's duys we could not expect to be anytning like a match for tne Englisn navy, we had ENGLAND'S COMMERCE BEFORE US and no commerce of our own to lose, So that, ina naval point of view alone—the strongest part of the ee | engusn atrencth—therq waa ng reason for unoasl « ness, while as to a land attack we were in no danger. Even if we were whipped tn a contest, which could aot occur, England would lose more in whipping us than we would in being defeated. AS to the suggestion to withdraw OUR CASR FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, and mention a gross sum which would be acce;ted 1m Ite of all other claims, @ suggestion that he had heard as being acceptable to the English autbort- les, itshould be remembered that we did make such a proposition in the discussions of une Com- mussion, but it was rejected; so that the present Situation ‘is wholly the taultof England, At the same time the President said that, while standing directly where . TUK HONOR AND DIGNITY OF THE REPUBLIC compelied him, and naving no anxiety whatever, noone was more anxious to do all that could be done to satusfy the English and allay any excite- ment. When the case was known wo the English People, he felt sure thts excitement would die away; that it would not last more than afew days, To thisend, as one that would be in the interest of peace and civilization and the happiness of two great nations, he would do everything that could be done with honor, and that the best means of doing 80 were the subject of his constant thoughts, Sir Johu Rose Moving in the Matter. It ts stated that several days ago Sir John Rose telegraphed to a banking house in New York, with which he has business relations, briefly alluding to the Treaty of Washington in the tone of the London press, and urging modidogton gf the American aiatement of ihe case as being absolutely necessary to a pacification of the Briush people and the support of the Mintatry; and it is further said that the subasance of this telegram has been com- MQupicated to certain parties in this city with a view to effect the destrea object. THE FE:LING IN ‘A SCOTIA. Tho Violent Tone of the Enalivh Press Con- demned. Hauirax, N. 8, Feb. 5, 1872, ‘The intimation of the English press of tne inten- tion of the British government to repudiate the ‘Treaty of Washington excites grave comments here, It is betevea that such @ violent course would be almost @ certain signal for war. The English gov- ernment, it is thought, will, therefore, pause before consenting to follow public opinion so far as to take so decisive astep. The merchants of Halifax are deeply interested in the treaty. THE WAR OBY IN ENGLAND. To THE EpiToR OF THE HERALD:— War with England! Glad of tt. Will give me a chance to pay off an old grudge on account of jneir inhumanity and savage treatment to prisoners of war during the American Revolution, in which my father for seven years participated in many of the most prominent battles, witnessing and suffering their barbarous treatment to prisoners, My father’s account to me when @ child is still fresh in my memory, although Iam more than three score and ten. {have ever since felt indignant and desirous of seeing them whipped so that they will stay whipped, Iwas anxious to participate with two elder brothers in the war of 1812 and 1814, but was too young. I sent three sons to fight against tne Southern rebellion, instigated and encouraged by England, believing her the joint enemy, and that whipping the rebels was equivalent to defeating the wicked schemes of John Bull. Your morning’s paver has the ring of the right metal on the subject. But if Jonnny Bull knows his own interest he will not go to war with Uucle Sam, If he should try another hand I would like to take part, [ have very Root oe to surrender up my right to an inheritage nere, Lhope, fora vetter one, and T feel quite willing to goin detence of my country tor the benefit of those I leave behiud me. W. H. FIFTY THOUSAND IRISHMEN READY FOR A PIGHT.

RAILROAD IN BROOKLYN. pning of Atlantic Avenue Tu 1. The proposition of an underground railroad i® again being agitated in Brookiyn. The matter has been taken bold of by some capitalists, who have employed an engineer to estimate upon the cost and feasibility of their plans. A delegation of these gentlemen called upon Mayor Poweit yesterday, and they discussed ‘the project over at length, ‘tne Mayor fully concurred with their views. ‘They proposed to reopen the Atlantic avenue tunnel, which runs from tne Atlantic street ferry up to Boerum street. From that point they proposed to construct a depressed road, which is to runto East New York. lt is proposed to con- struct an underground road under Flatbush avenue, and this road is to ranto Prospect Park, and them connect with an overland road. The boats are to run on the South ferry so as accommodate the trains on the road. The road ts te be used for freight between tne hours of eleven P. M. and five o'clock A, M., and for pas- sengers during the day. The cost of the Atlantic street road, from the South ferry to East New York, 1s estimated at $125,000. Where tt ts strictly under ground the cost is estimated at $200,000 a mile. It 1s claimed that a road of this Kind will greatly en- nance the value of the real estate of the ctty. The Sa i pe ee Atlantic street prope owners would, of course, oppose the opening of the Atlantic avenue tunnel, as they have paid coasideraple to have it closed.
