But the several replies of Mr Adams amply defended that efair, From the re- ‘plies and from the official documents reierred to in thom it would appear that in the year 1850 the United Staves had brought to the point of settiement ® long-standing claim against Portugal for the de- ‘struction of the American armed bmg General -Armstrong, in the harbor of Fayal, in the year 1814, They were, at the same time, pressing some other ‘claims against Portugal, and were conducting a “correspondence with the Portuguese Legation at Washington, ,rowing out of the seizure of a Portu- guese siaver. The Portuguese government, as aa ollset Lo these claims of the United staves, revived “some BX¢LODEO CLAIMS’ OF PORTCGAL AGAINST THE UNITED STATES, for alleged violation of neutraitty, that had slum- vered for nearly thirty years, A lengthy correspond- ence with Portugal, Wiicu 18 next sumuarized, ana that they were unlike those now pressed by the United Staves upon Great Britain, Nevertneless, the principles involved Were recognized by both governamenis, Article 6 0: the ‘Lreaty of Washington lays down ine rules waich should govern ueutrals, and articie 7 contains provisions as tv compensation in case gue diligence is not. given vy ihe neutral to revent fitting out, armug or equipping *belligerents.” The legal definition of ‘«lue ailigence” 1g given from Story, Str Wiliasn Jones und other writers on civil law, ancient and modern, aod also by Lora Granviile and Sir Roundell Palmer im Geostes during the war of the reveluion, Kur the United States Go not agree with the ofictal deLnivions of the lal- ter.

Understanding the words in this sense, the Unlied States find them adentical with the wearure of duty which Great Britain had previously admitted, The United States, in further prosecution of their Case, analyze the several clauses of the Washington Treaty and show that the neutral was bound to de- tain any vessel fitted out, in whole or in part, 3p 114 ports to prey upon the commerce of tne bel- lugerents, And the United States regard THIS DUTY a8 ONE THAT EXISTED BY THE LAW OF NATIONS Pict to tne Treaty of Washington; but it is aamit- din the treaty that for tue purpose of the present age this rule 13 tu be taken a3 having the force of ublic law during the Southern rebellion.

Again and again his attention was called to specific acts, but he invari- abty refased to interfere, ‘this partiality of brivain towards the revels was lasting and reguiar through- out the war. Sritish municipal statute nized international law was dard of neutral =duty; and rules of ovideace of the English common law were applied to the complaints made in behalf of the United States, iu striking contrast to the frienuiiness of coastruction, the alacrity of decision and the ease of proof in the interest of the insur. gents. Tne charges against the British government contained in Mr, Fish’s imstrucitons of seplember 26, 1862, are fully sustained ana corroborated by the evidence adduced irom the lips and wriuings of brit. ish ministers and statesmen, BRITISH MINISTERS WINKING AT VIOLATIONS OF NEUTRAL'TY, Learned counse} elther advised that the wrongs commited did not constitute violations of the ma- nicipal law, or else gave sanction to artful devices of deoeit to cover up such Violations of jaw, and tae mgen’s Ministers excused themselves by alleged efects in the municipal law of the country, while the Queen’s government itself, including tne omnipotent Parliament, which might have setiled these questions ia an hour by appropriat legisiation, Bal with folded arms, as if unmindiu of its international obliga- tions, and suffered slup after ship to be constructed in 118 ports to wage war on the United States, And when the United States government called the at- tention of the British government to those defects of law and the remedy, the Jatver retusea to comply. Mr. Fish, therelore, concluded that the negiigence of the officers 1 the british goverament was and inexcusavie, and that the proofs of re- sponsible pegiigence in this matter are 80 clear that no room remains for devate on that point, and it should be taken for granted in all future negotiations with Great Briain Uur goverument next recapitulates tne nustile acts tolerated in British ports, and so counects them as to throw suspicion upon the acts of British officials toward rebel cru.sers, They snow at least an abne- gation of all auigeuce to prevent the acts com- plained of, and throw the burden of proof upon Great Britain to show that these acts coutu not have been prevented, ‘Those ucts, ina general way, are known to ail the readers of the HERALD, ana ueed not be recited here. They have been reierrea to iso 1D @ previous part of this article, IN SUMMING UP THIS PART OF THE EV!DBNC B on the claims tne Uslted states government very pointedly say:— Mt the recognition of belligerency by @ neutrat in favor of an organized insurrection authorizes a so-called government of insurrecuionists to issue commissions, which are to protect vessels that may have violated the sovereignty of the neutral irom examination, inquiry or pauishment by te neutral authorines wnen again within their jurisdiction, the United States and other nations here repre- sented must hold themselves at liberty in futare to conform to such measure of duty in chat respect as may be indicatea by this tribanal. If Georgias, Alabamas, Floridas and Shenandoahs May be allowed to go out from neatrai ports witn- out violations of international duty to prey upon tne commerce of imendiy nations; if it be no offence to recruit men for them and to send the recruits to join them tn Alars, Bermudas, Bahamas and Lau- Tels, the United States, as a neutra!, wiil be relieved When otner States are @t war, from'a great part of the dificu'ties they encounter 1n watching a long lune of coast. It will depend upon the Tribunal of Arbitration to saw whether any or all of these precedents are to be sanctioned and are to stand for future guidance. The conduct ofthe British government is next contrasted with that ol the governments of France, Portuga), The Netherlands, Russia, Prussa, Brazil and other countries, 80 that standing side py side witn them and gheirs her conduct and acts become more perfidivus and reprenensivle than they would appear standing alone. In the opening conterence of the Joint High Com- Mission relating to the Alabama claims, the Ameri- can Commissioners stated the navure of the demands of che United states. They said that there were “ex. tensive direct lo-ses in the capture and destruc- von of @ large number of vessels with their cargoes, and in the HEAVY NATIONAL EXPENDITURES in the pursuit of the cruisers ana indirect injury in the transfer of alarze part of tne American com- Mercial marine to the British flag,}in the ennanced payments of insurance, in the prolongation of the War and in the addition of a large sum to the cost of the war and the suppression ot the rebellion.’ They further said that the amount of the direct lossses to individuals ‘which nad thus far been presented amvunted to about four. teen millions of dotiars without interest, which amount was liable vo be greatly increase by claims which had not ueen p: esented;” and that the indi- rect joss to te government ‘in the pursuit of cruisers could easily oe ascertained by certificates of government accounting olticers.” They aaded that ‘an the hove of an amicable settlement, no estimate was made ol the indirect losses, without prejudice, however, to the rigtit of indemnification on their ac- count in the event of no such setilement being made"? Tne British Commissioners declined to make the | “amica «le settlement’ wiich was proposed on part of the United States, The Joint Hign Co mission then entered into negottations which Tesulied In ap agreement “in order to remove and adjust all complaints and claims on part of the United States, and to provide for {hi | speedy setilemeat of such claims,’ that ali ihe clans “growing out of the acts committed by tie several vessels which have given rise to the cialins generically known as the Alabama claims,” stouid | be relerred to this Triounat of Arbirration. It wus | further agreed tnat this tribunal, should it find tnat Great Britain had, by any act or omission, fat!ed to julfil any of the duties set tortn in the rules ia the sixth article of the treaty, or recoznized by princi. | pies of iniernational law noc inconsistent with such rules, might then “proceed to award a sum in uross | to be puid by Great Britain to the United States ior all the claims referred to it.” CLASSIFICATION OF CLAIMS, The Claims, as stated by tne American Co! sioners, nay ve Classified as follows:— First—Tue ciaims for direct losses growing ou! of the destruction of vessels and their cargoes by tie insurgent cruisers. Second— (he national expenditures in the pursuit | of those crnisers, | the | nis. Third—The | 88 in the transfer of the American commercial marine to the Britisn flag, sourti—The enhanced payments of insurance. PS h—The prvioagavon of the war anu the ad- dition of a large sum to the cost of the war and tie suppression of the rebellion. So far a- these various losses and expenditures grew out of the acts committed oy the several crut ers, the Uaited States are entitled to ask compensa- tion and remuueraiion thereior vefore tis fribu- nal of Arbitration. ‘The claims ior direct losses growing out of the destruction of vessels and their cargoes may be further subdivided, to wit:— First—Claims for destruction of vessels and property of the United States, Secund—Claims for the destruction of vessels and property under the flag of the United States, Third—Ciaims for damages or injuries to persons growing out of the destruction of each class of Vessels. Jn volume seven of the documentary evidence presented by the United States the tribunal will find ample data for oetermuntiig the amount of damage Waicn sivuid be awarded In consequence of the in- Juries inflicted by reason ol the destruction of ves- seis oF property, Whether of tne governinent or of private persons, NMENT VESSELS DESTROYED s—those under the charge of the Treasury Department aud those in charge of tne Navy Departiuent. The tribanal of Arbitration will Dnd in volume seven detailed statements of this Class Of losses, certified by the Secretary of the Navy or by the secretary of the Treasury, as the case may be. The United States reserve, however, as LO this and as to all other classes of claims, tne right Lo present furtner claims and further evidence Jn supvort of these anu such furtner clams for the consideration of Unis tribunal; aud aiso similar rights a9 to all Classes Of claims, in case this tri- bunal shalt determine not to award a sum in gross to the United States.

The United dtates.onty ask a reasonabie notice, giving them suficient Opportunity to pro. duce Hem, If Js impossible at Pants for the United States to present to the tribanal @ detaied statement of the damages or injuries to persous growing out Of the destruction of each class of vessels. Every vessel had 118 officers and its crew, who were enti- ted to the protection of tne flag of tne United States and to be included ip the estimate of any sum Wiieb the trivugal way see fit to award. It wili oot be aifficult, from the data whieh are tur- nished, to agcertain te names and the tonnage of the different vesseis destroyed, and w lorm an es- timate of the namber of hardy but beipless seamen Who were thus deprived of their means of subsi ance, and to determine What aggregate sum it woul be just to place in the hands of the United States on that account. It cannot pe less than bun- dreds of thousands, and possibly milliuns of dollars. LOSSES BY COMMERCIAL MARINE TRANSFERS, Our government then quotes from Mr. Cobden's speech before Parliament in 1864, in which he gave details Of the losses causea merely by the transfer Of United Staves veusels to the Brien fag, and ‘which was supstantially Seeempaentes in ‘Senator Edmund's address in tne United States Sen- ate on jay, and pi in the HERALD yes- terday. Accoridiag to Mr. Cobden there were trus- between Years 1868 and inclusive, 782 vessels of tonnage of 436,460 tous. In 1864, 106 vessels, Were transferred, with an agsre- gate tonnage of 92,052 tons, Witn the reservations already stated, the United States preseat the amount, so lar as 16 nas come to their knowledge, of the enhancea payments of in- surance, caused by the acts of the insurgent cruts- ers, All of these cruisers came from England; and should the trivugal fud Great Britain responsible for the injuries caused by their acts, it cunnot be dented that the war risk was the result of their despatch from britian ports, The amount of this injury, 80 far as yet Known to tne United States, ap- pears in volume 7, It 18 impossibie for the United States to determine, 1t18 perhaps impossivie for any one to estimate with accuracy, the vast injury which these cruisers caused in prolonging the war. The great exertions which were made in the months of April, May and June, 1863, to secure urms and ammunition for immediate use in Richmond have already been noted. Letter followed letter in rapid succession, urging Waiker to forward the desired articies without delay. The energetic measures which Walker took tu obtain Coal to enable him to comply with his instructions have been commented on, Tne insurrection was at that moment gathering itself up for a blow which ‘Was intended to be final and decisive. This govern- Ment next recite the decisive battles under Grant and Hooker ana Sherman and Meade, which broke the back vone of ihe rebeilion, The 4th day ot July, 1863, saw tne aggressive force on land of the ‘insurrection crusted. From that aay its oniy hope lay ta prolonging a defence unul, by the coutinuance of the permitted viola- Uons of British neutrality by the insurgents, the United States should become involved in a war with Great Britain, The insurgents had at that time good reason to look for that result ‘Tie Flort- da, the Alabama and the Georgian nad ieit British ports for the purpose ol carrying on war aainst the United States, and were, nevertheless, recelved with unusual honors and hospitality 1 all the coio- nial ports of Great Britain, Only ten days belore the battle of Gettysburg the judge who presided at the trial of the Alexandra had instructed the jury that no law or duty of Great Britain bad been vio+ luted in the construction aad despatch of tne Ala- bam. About three months before that time ler Majesty’s government had decived that they would not recommend Parliament to enaci a more effec- tive law lor tne preservation of neutrality. Laird was CONSTRUCTING THE RAMS IN LIVERPOOL, under the existing interpretation o! the Jaw, and tne British government was refusing to mteriere with him, The Chancellor of the xchequer, tive days before the battle of Gettysburg, had declared in the House of Commons, speaking not indi vidually, but im the piural, ‘We do not veileve thas the restoration of the Aine Union by force 18 attamable.” Under these circumstances the insurgents made great exertions to keep the Florida, the Alabama and the Georgia afloat, and to stimulate their oficers and crews to renewed destruction ot the cominerce of the United states, They counted, not without reason, upon inflaming poptlar passion in the United states by the conunu- ance Oo! these acts until the people shonid foree the government into a retaliation upon Great Britain, the real author of their in pursuance of this policy they withdrew their inititary forces within the lines of Richmond and pow ea money into Bul- lock’s hands to keep afioat anv increase bis Brinsh Dnilt navy, and to send It into the most distant seas in pursuit of the merchant marine of te United States, Thus the tribunal will see that aiter the battle of Gettysburg the offensive operations of the mesur- gents were conducted only at sea through tie cruisers, and, observing that the war was prolonged for that purpose, will be alle to determ whether Great Britain ought notin equity to nburse 10 the United States the expenses entaiied upon them, On ail these points evidence is presented whica will enable the triuna! to usceriain and acteraime the amount of the several losses and injuries com- plained of. Tothe amount thus showa should be ‘added Interest apon the claims to tue day when the award 1s payable by ihe ierms of the Treaty— Damely, tweive months after the date of the award, The usual Jegal rate of interest in the city of New York, where most of the claims of inaividuais are held, 1s seven per cent per annum, In some of the States it is greater; in few ol the n less. ‘The United States make a claim for interest at thatrate. The computation of the interest should be made from an average dav to be determined. The United States suggest the lat day of July, 1863, as the most equit- able day. They earnestiy hope inat the uibanal will exercise the power conferred upon it to AWARD A SUM IN GROSS to be paid by Great Brita to the United States, Tho injuries of wien the United Sta complain were committed many vears sin The original Wrongs to the suiferers by the acts of the msurgent 5 cruisers have been increased by the delay In making | reparation, It will ve unjust to impose further deiay and the expense of presenting ciaims to another tribunal, if the evidence which the United States tave the honor to present for the consideration of these arvitrators shall prove toe sufiicient to enable them to determine what BUM tn gross Would be a just compensation to the United Staies for the Injuries anu losses of which they complain. Above ull it is in the highest interest of the two great Powers which appear at tats bar that the causes of diiference which have been heretnbefore | set lorth should be speedtiy ana forever set at rest.

To the Mariner, no matter from what port he hails or where bound—whether navigating mid-ocean or entering home or toreign port—the Herald Almanac will prove a safe and unerring guide to avoid all recently discovered and re- ported dangers. Under the head of “Mariner's Guide” is collated the “Notices to Mariners” issued during the year 1871 from the Trinity House, Admiralty, London; the Hy- drographic Ofice, Washington, and the various Navigation Boards throughout the world, specially published in the Herald, from whose columns the “Guide” has veen com- piled, The warnings, directions and information therein contained will make the Herald Almanac almost as indispen- sable to the pilot and the mariner as tne ebart, the sextant and the compass.
