TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, June 4, 1872. In the House of Lords this evening there was a full attendance of peers, and the galleries were erowded. '" Bari Russell moved his long impending address to fthe Queen, praying Her Majesty to cause instruc- ns to be given to her representatives to retire mi the Board of Arbitration at Geneva if the Claims for indirect damages are not withdrawn by the government of the United States. Earl Busselt Spoke at great length in sup- port of his motion. He reviewed the events of the war in the United States and the circumstances of the escape of the Ala- ama, and discussed the subsequent negotiations. ‘The government, he said, should remember that England never admifted the justice of the indirect elaims. What was the meaning of this delay, this mystery, this hesitation? The nation was In the same state of uncertainty as when the treaty was ratified. The honor of the government required that it should speak plainly. ft should say to the United States, withdraw the in- ‘ireot olaims or no arbitration. There was no form Df extravagance which was not to be found in the Américan cage. He held the English negotlators responsible. Ho contrasted the conduct of the British government in relinquishing the Fenian flaims with that of the American government in Avancing its indirect claims. This country must el humiliated by the manner in which the nego- tlators had mismanaged the business. He compli- ented the Canadians on the loyal spirit in which hey had acted on the treaty, and concluded as fol- lows:—“The nation must show, as it has before, that it 1s jealous of the honor of the British Crown. ft must treat the United States as tt treated them in the Trent case." (Cheers.) Earl Granville followed. He defended the right of the American government to place its own con- struction on the Treaty of Washington and to intro- duce the indirect claims. The only way to escape from the consequences of the opposite: taterpreta- tions put upon the treaty by the two governments ‘was through # supplemental articfe, and of this the government had availed itseir, therefore Earl Rus- sella proposition ft not touch the peint at Issue, ‘elended the Commissioners 7, nogotlated the treaty, those who acted f United States as well as those who acted for Great Britain, It Was afl very weil to pick holes ina treaty which when first published was gener- ally approved, The British Commissioners belleved the indirect claims would be withdrawn, and they believed that the American Commissioners had 80 admitted. The aspersions on the government and the Commissioners were unfonnded and unjust. He rebuked Earl Russell for his allusion to the Trent affair, declaring that it would be the cause of incal- culable ll-feeling. Should the Treaty of ashington fail, an event by no means vertain, England would stand the better for having exhausted the means of removing the misunderstanding. The government had been legally advised that the supplemental article was amply sufficient, If their lordships arrogated to themselves the treaty-making power they would jhave an enormons responsibility. If they required the President of the United States to do that which Mr, Pjsraeli said in his Manchester speech was im- {possible for hi 0, they would destroy all année of & belie: He Wahied Welt lord. ships that there was no géod, but much harm in irritating expressions and resolutions. } Earl Grey remarked that if the negotiations pro- ceeded as at present the country would be com- maitted to any mistake the government made. * Lord Denman thought their lordships were need- iy alarmed. Even if the indirect claims were passed, he doubted whether the Commons would pay the bilh "Sg ss : The Earl of Derby disclaimed party feeling on this question, He had been told that he should be carefal not to offend the Americans. He could conceive of no poorer compll- ment to the Americans than the apprehension ta frank, plain statement might bea cause of fence. (Cheers.) He did not want to quarrel or break off negotiators. He wanted to know where they stood. The negotiations were either unable 0 see what wos plain to everybody or had deter- mined to make atreaty with their eyesshut. If ithe understanding is clear that the indirect claims @re excluded, why are they not excluded in plain Agrmp, (Cheers)... = BMtk ne ty "ne inal of keabertey régretted that Lord Gran- ‘ville had constituted himself an American advo- ate. He seemed to be under the impression that the House had determined that the treaty should fas, and the real object and spirit of his speech fas its defence, He itiust know that words ‘whereby the indirect claims would be directly with- ‘drawn could be inserted in the treaty with the con- ent of the American government. ¢.The Marquis of Salisbury regretted that Earl “Granville ghonld throw the responsibility on the fh Joint Commissioners. He particularly alluded 0 the selection the government had made of Com- ‘mi asioners for Great Britain, and hinted that they shad been overmatched by the astute Yankees. He mnfessed he had no very active regard for the ‘treaty, and declared his unimitigated hostility to the indirect claims. He ridiculed the idea that the ‘Americans, if they felt they ought to withdraw the direct claims, would not plainly do so, The debate was continued by the Earl of Malmes- bury in favor of the motion and the Marquis of inpbt igaines Re En eR te + Lord WEsTBURY announced that he would vote ‘with the government, because if the motion of Earl Russell prevailed it would kill the Supplemental cle and destroy all that had already been done. ‘The Earl of RoseBERRY said he should follow the ‘example of Lord Westbury, believing that the mo- ‘tion would crush any tendency on the part of tho Dplted states to give way. ; Lord Cairns supported the motion. He did not think it would endanger cordial relations with ‘America. He assailed with bitterness the treaty, ‘the negotiations and the government. He was re- {peatedly interrupted by Lords Granville and Ar- gyle. The debate became quite exciting, and there ‘Were some lively scenes. ‘The Lord Chancellor moved an adjournment, and ‘Earl Granville, supporting the motion, character- tized the speech of Lord Cairns as the speech of an advocate. After some confusion the motion to adjourn was tived by the vote of 8 to 125, { Am adjournment was again moved, this time ‘anti Thursday, which was agreed to, and the sit- /tlng closed at ten o'clock A. M. ' THE QUESTION IN WASHINGTON. nnn Cabinet Despatch to Minister Schenok—Granville Not Unreasonable—Indirect Claims Still a Difficulty—What Mr. Fish Says of His Com- munications with Minister Thornton, Wasninaton, June 4, 1972, After the Cabinet meeting to-day a despatch wont to Minister Schenck reiterating the tele- graphic statements of our position with respect to the supplementary article, and intimating that the British suggestion the Geneva Tribunal, with a view to a better under- standing of the article, was not unreasonable, and that our government ts willing to bring about the adjournment of the arbitrators in either of the two ways pointed out in Lord Granville’s com- munication of last Saturday; that is by a forma; treaty concluded at Washington before our Senate adjourns, or by @ joint application to be presented by the agents of the two parties to the arbitration. An important point in this connection is the wish of our government to adjourn the arbitration without first submitting the printed or written ar- gument required by the fifth article of the Treaty of Washington, but the necessity of action on our side to reserve our argument till a later meeting is ob- viated by the pledge of the British Cabinet to Parliament not to proceed any further at Geneva till the indirect claims are withdrawn, As these claims are not to be withdrawn till the Senate's article becomes a treaty, and as that treaty cannot be made till the article is discussed and ex- piained by mail communication, the United States already possesses the desired privilege of withhold- ing its preliminary argument with a view to eventu- alities, It ts understood by our government that if the British government should fail to enforce upon us any change iu the proposed article of the treaty, it will at last consent to accept the new treaty in the Senate’s own words, and to agree upon its mean- ing by an exchange of notes, in connection with the whole correspondence of the two governments, both before and after the Supplemental Treaty. These will supply the definition and limitation that Lord Granville is so anxious to impose upon the broadly stated proposition of the Senate. Secretary Fish in his despatch regreta that in the conversations held between themselves, Sir Ed- ward Thornton should have received from him any impression strongly enough to transmit It to Lon- don, there to be repeated to General Schenck. that he was ofopinion that the Senate's article was capable of improvement. His position with regard to that article is such that he could not with any show of consistency have consented that the British representative should receive from him any impression that he was in the least dissatisfed with either the lan- guage or the spirit of the Senate reselution which embodied the agreement the President was recom- mended to make with Great Britain. On the con- trary, he is anxious to place himself squarely with the Senate and. the President in presenting the modified article os the uttermost con- cession to save the material interests that have been persistently urged upon the administration is entitled to regard, so far as they could be regarded without abatement of the dig- nityand honor of the country. The friends of Mr. Fish say that he stands as strongly as ever by our first case, but anxiety to save the treaty, to save the example and establish a principle of international arbitration, and to concede some- thing to the actual commercial and financial feeling of the country, induced him to seek @ fair equivalent for the original demand. This equivalent he considers to be gained to both sides in the supplementary treaty abso by Great Britain and amended by ourselves, and if {t were left tohim he would not consent to any modifica- tion of the intent and meaning placed here upon the supplemental article... The pending” dimcuity arises from the failure of the gmended article to contain Lord Granville's definition of that constitntes indirect claims, and the British apprehension of the result of such an omission is that some of our claims, that are to be put to rest as indirect may re- appear as within the scope of direct losses, or, failing that, that we may find it to our Interest, in future changes of circumstances, to so enlarge the area of indirect damages, in the ab- sence of an acknowledged definition, as to make the observance of neutral obligations of no pecunt- ary consequence when measured against the profits of privateering and tho supplanting of a rival's maritime commerce.

Jules Favre in Protest Against the Tariff Tax on Raw Materials, Cabinet Discrimination Against British and Bel- gian Intereste—The Commercial Ques- tion Approaching a Crisis. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Paris, June 4, 1872, Telegrams from Versailles report that in the Legislative Assembly this afternoon M. Jules Favre made a powerful speech against the tax on raw materials. He pronounced it fatal to French trade and French manufactures, unproductive as a source of revenue and objectionable in a diplomatic sense, because it will allenate foreign Powers, The Difficult Points of the Tariff Tax Crisis. It has been frequently anticipated of late that the commercial policy which President Thiers ia de- termined to insist on for France ts likely to assume @ very decided political interest. France has com mercial treaties with Spain, Austria, Sweden and Switzerland, which do not expire for KeVeral years, Again, one which it has entered into with Portugal remains in force until the hens 1879, and Germany, in virtue of the ‘favored nation” clause inserted just lately jn th aty of Frankfort, can enjoy all the Priv 8 Site treaty for the noxt seven yours.

Kia which was held on thes a Neprseentaliin would be made to M. de Rémusat on the subject. Here the parliamentary affairs tended to prevent the action. The attitude which the Thiers govern- ment now proposes to take in the Chamber in this matter is original. In reply to the very natural curiosity of the Assembly as to how the duties are to be levied on raw materials, even if they are voted, M. Thiers replies, “Leave that to me; all you have to do is to vote me the power of obtaining the seventy millions from this source. I will undertake to levy that amount.”’ It seems that the clause which the President relies upon to enable him to escape the obligations imposed upon the country by these treaties is the one permitting the levying of compensatory duties. In his opinion these are fiscal d tic pnd £9 not come under the pites of the treaty, being duties which the govern- ént hag a right to raise for its own internal rev- enue purposes. The financial element in the French Chamber is the strongest it contains. There are many men of sound business capacity in the As- sembly who already resist to some purpose the tariff scheme, and of the Paris press nearly all the feading journals express their opposition to the government policy in very decided terms, ENGLAND.

Captain Colvocoresses, of the Navy, Murdered and Robbed in the Streets of Bridgeport. ESCAPE OF THE MURDERERS. Brivarrort, Conn., June 4, 1872. One of the most cold-blooded murders that have ever taken place in this part of the country oo- curred last night in this city. Captain George M. Golvocoresses, a retired naval officer, and member of the Retiring Board of the United States Navy, came down from his home, in Litchfield, Conn., on the Naugatuck train last evening, reaching Bridge- port at about nine o'clock. He went immediately down to the boat and secured a passage for New York, taking his stateroom key with him. He then came up town from the steamboat dock, called at the Sterling House and inquired if it was too late for supper. He was told that it was, and he went out, going, it is supposed, to some saloon in the neighborhood. He subsequently returned to the hotel and conversed with the landlord and clerk, and finally left, at about half-past ten, on his way to the boat. He carried with him an umbrella, @ cane and a small satchel, which latter he guarded with extreme care, keeping it constantly with him‘ and even taking. it to the water closet instead of leaving it at the office, as is usual. Between half-past ten and eleven the policeman detailed at the steamboat dock heard a pistol shot in the direction of Clinton street, which runs from Main street to Water, and through which Captain Colvecoresses passed on his way to the boat. Run- ning in the direction of the sound, the policeman came upon the unfortunate man just as he breathed his last. He had a fearful wound from a bullet in the lower left breast, and ® cut from some sharp instrument over the right hip. His sword cane, which he had evidently drawn, was bent nearly double, and the case was shattered in pieces, showing that he had made an effort for his life when assailed. Near him was found a large single-barrelled pistol, evidently the instrument of the murder. His satchel was missing and his watch was also. gone, showing that robbery was the object of the murder. The body was immediately taken to the station house and a jury of citizens empanelied, who ex- amined into the facts in the case and brought in a verdict, at half-past one, of murder by some person or persons unknown. Mr. James E. Dunham, Coun- climan Kiefer and other members of the Common Council, which had just adjourned, acted on the jury, many of them being personal friends and ac- quatintances of the unfortunate gentleman, who was well known here. The followtng 1s tho verdict of the Coroner's jury :— The undersigned jurors being duly — empan- “and sworn to inguire of the “cause and of the death of @ body, supposed to be Captain George M. death was sudden and untimely, and tho cause and manner of which was unknown, having viewed the body of said deceased and considered tho evidence given to us, do, on our oaths, say that said deceased came to his death by'a pistolor gunshot wound tn his lower left breast. by some person or persons to the jury, unknown, at about eleven o'clock P.

The horse pistol which was und near the scene of the tragedy, a bex of caps tied up in a piece of cloth and other traces will, It is hoped, lead to the detection of the murderers. Every effort that can be made will be, and the police are untiring in their endeavors, The utmost horror was occasioned throughout the city by the announcement of the murder this morning, and many friends of the unhappy man have visited the remains at the station house. The family of the deceased has been telegraphed, and bis Wife and daughters are hourly expected.

Colvocoresses, the victim of this foul murder, was born in Greece, and came to this country when pate oung. He was appointed to the navy from Vermbnt in February, 1832, and attached to the frigate United States in the Mediterranean squadron. He was promoted to passed midshipman June 23, 1838, and served on va- rious ships till 1861, when he was commissioned Commander, commanding the sloop Saratoga, of the blockading squadron, till 1864, and the sloop St. Mary’s, of the Pacitic squadron, from 1865 to (866, He was retired with the rank of captain in 1867, Captain Colvocoresses was a gallant and deserv- ing officer, and took an active part in the late war of the rebellion, receiving a large amount of prize money from various captures in which he particl- pated. He wasa man of about sixty years of age, was a gentleman of agreeable manners, and was reatly esteemed and respected by a wide circle of ‘lends and acquaintances the country over. He hasagson in the navy an acting ensign. Mayor Goodsell, of Bridgeport, this morning telegraphed to Secretary Robeson of the Navy informing him of the murder of Captain Colvocoresses.

Soon after assembling this morning the Fresiding Elder stated the motion submitted by counsel for Dr. Huston previous to adjournment last week, namely, to quash all further proceedings and let the matter go before the General Conference for final adjudication, on the ground that the prose- cution had utterly failed to sustain their case, had been considered and denied, and that the investi- gation would now proceed. It ts said an offer was then made by Dr. Huston’s counsel to submit the case as it now stood, on the ground of the vague and indefinite character of the re- maining charges.

Wasurnaton, June 4, 1872:. Greeley’s Frionds Using Sumner's Speech. Arrangements were completed to-day by the Greeley Campaign Committee to circulate 80,000 copies of Sumner's last speech, at Philadelphia, on. Thursday, Speoulations on Wilson's Chances for the Vice Presidency. ‘The hope here in administration circies 1s that Senator Wiison may receive the nomination of the Philadelphia Convention for the Vico Presidency. Ithas been known for'some time past that the President gave Senator Wilson his preference for the nomination with him on the Presiden- tial ticket, and the personal friends, of both parties have. been zealousy en- gaged in promoting tho Senator's chances for this nomination, The reason of the President's sympathy, however, did not transpire until to-day. The nomination of Wilson for the Vice Presidency is not only believed to be a popular card with the working class, but if elected would create a vacancy in the Senate from Massachusetts; ang 80 strong is the belief that that vacancy is to occur that there are already two candidates for the position—Georgo 8. Boutwell, Secretary of the Treasury, and Henry L. Dawes, chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means. The President is confident. that Boutwell would be chosen, and that would leave him free to appoint a new Secretary of the Treasury, a freedom which Grant desires above all else to enjoy. The House and the Tariff Bill—Adjourn- ing for the Philadelphia Convention. The House to day showed signs of a single pur- posee-the passage of the conference report on the Revenue bill. General Butler originated a pleasant Play upon the name of Fish in connection with a resolution of the New England Fish and Salt Deai- ers’ Association, asking legislation to carry into effect the provisions of the Washington Treaty re- lating to the fisheries. He alluded, too, tu the.fact that the fish dealer ig the fish catchers’ natural enemy as a point against the resolution, The Revenue biil report finally arrived, and Mr. Dawes explained its provisions in answer to inquiries of different members, After an hour's debate the previous question was seconded, and the report was adopted without a division and with less than ten dissenting votes. The Houso then, at two P. M., adjourned tilk Friday, in order ta give the members a chance to go to the Philadel phia Convention and be back in time to receive and act on the remaining appropriation bills from the Senate. The adjournment was made with the understanding that the House shall meet to-mor- row at eleven“o’clock, and no business is to be done, except to allow the Speaker to sign the Revenue bill, The bill will then go to the Presi- dent, and probably be signed to-morrow. Tho Tobacco Interegt and the Tax Bille A Stupid Omission, In arranging the dctatls of the Revenue Tax bill tobacco, has oe 9 fhe ghict ob. ie interests of the rménious Actfor Plug and cutting manufacturers clashed, the former asking for a uniform rate and the other that the old tax—viz., sixteen cents for cutting and thirty-two cents for plug tobacco—should be maintained. The House, under the direction of the Ways and Means Committee, agreed to a uniform rate of twenty cents tax. This was amended in the Senate by in- serting twenty-four cents. The Conference Com- Mittee on the bill fixed it at twenty cents, and it was 80 announced to both houses, To-day a watchful manufacturer in the plag in- terest called on the Clerk of the Senate Financo Committee to see that the tobacco clause had been inserted in accordance with the views of the com- mittee. The bill had not been ordered printed, and the original copy, he was told, was at the Glove office, in which paper of this morning the bill was printed mextenso. A careful examination disclosed the re- markable fact that the important clause had been altogether omitted. The plug man rushed back to the Senate,and Senator Johnston, of Virginia, had barely time before the bill was acted on to notify the Chairman of the Finance Committee, Mr. Sherman, of the omission, The same thing was done in the House, at the suggestion of Mr. Kerr and others, and he mistake rectified. This is regarded here a3 an utrageous piece of negligence, and will probably be the subject of inquiry.” Maio LG Admiral Polo Deciarés the Stedmor Edgar Stewart a Filebustero. Admiral Polo, the Spanish Minisic#, has filed at the State Department the declaration, sup- ported by o& number of affidavits, that the steamer Edgar Stewart, which cleared from New London and was recently men- aced at Kingston, Jamaica, is filibuster, and engaged in furnishing arms and munitions of war to the Cuban insurgents. The Stewart cleared for Key West, a port which she never touched, and when iirst heard from after leaving New London was at Kingston, having been compelled to go into that port in consequence of dissatisfaction among her crew. The panish Minister alleges that it was known then that she had been guilty of violating our Navigation laws, and was not entitled to proceed to sea; that tho protection given by a United States war vessel under the circumstances 1s equivalent to the gov- suet giding rich petting | &n expedition against aPower with which we braless ape se ay relation, and calls upon the United Stateg to full its treaty stipulations, Thg Treasury Department has been notifed of the matter, and collectors of customs will be in- structed to detain the Stewart should she enter any of our ‘ports. It has been reported that since the Stewart left Kingston she has successfully Janded @ cargo of arms and munitions of war on the south coast of Cuba, The Navy Department has not received @ word from the commander of the Wyoming, who was ordered to protect the Stewart, and the impression fs that an officer was put on board and ordered to bring the vessel to Key West, and may have been overpowered. The report of Commander Davis is anxiously looked for, a8 the present understanding of the case is not regarded here as cre‘itable to our government. Public Documents fn the War Depart- ment. John Coburn, Chairman of the Mouse Military Committee, visited the War Departinent to-day, and gave the archives his personal examination. He is satified that all the important papers are there, and that the statements made that valuable documents are missing is wholly untrue. The com- mittee will be ready to report regarding the Buell records on Friday or Saturday. The North Pacific Survey.
