Foregn News..-By the Chhia. THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. A supplement to the London Gazctto con. Lins further additional correspondenc,: be ween Messrs. Adams and Russell, rel ative to ie departure of cruisers for the rebels from ngland. Russell repeats the argument that 2e British Government acted upon precedent, nd supplies memorandum shown- that steps ,ere taken to pro,.-ent and punish breaches of eutrality. Every representation of the Ameri an Minister was considered immediately, ab8 .ferred, wien uecessary, to the law officers rithout delay, HE ACrIoN OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT FORES1HADOWED. It i.a impossible for the Ameican Go"-rn 3ent to abandon the claims for the depreda ions of the Alabama, but it is quite possible or a Government to yield nothing yet do othing. We must prepare to be told that he United States wIl abate no jot of its de aands, and will reserve the right of enforcing hem. But, still, when the temper of thepeo le is calmed, when commerce has had time'to enew the links which bind the two nations ogethei, when the memories of war fade into he past, there will be little disposition to weil on unfortunate but inevitable casualities. [London Tiynes, Nov. 11. DISGRACE TO BOTH COUNTRIES IF WAR SHOULD RESULT FROM THE DIFFERENCES. We confidently dismiss the supposition tha he Alabama claims can become -a direct cause f war between the two countries, but trust hat something will yet be done to bring the ispute to an early practical settlement, for it one which can in no other way be disposed f. It would be an eternal disgrace if both rovernments should confess themselves unable > find any but a violent solution of their dif -rences ; but there is a state of nominal peace rhich has many of the disadvantages of war. {London Yew, Nov. 11. THE SHENANDOAH. The liberation of the captain and crew of he Shenandoah is said to have been uncondi ional, the British Government being of opin mn that there are no legal grounds upoin which aey could be detained. IBERATION OF THE CREW-THE MEN PAID OFF. We are informed that the order for parole 'as received by Captain Paynter, of the Don gal, early in the afternoon, and that immedi tely after it was communicated to Captain Vaddell. Captain Waddell then came ashore, nd had an interview with someSoutherbgen emen, aPer which he returned to his ship nd paid off a-d discharged the crew. At 7 'cluck, the men left the Shenandoah in the 'ock Ferry Company's steamer Bee, and at o'clock, they were landed upon the George's anding-stage. But few spectators wero pre nt to witness the arrival of the crew so re owned for their exploits, owing doubtless to ie fact that their parole was not known even ) themselves until a short time before their tnding. Each of them brought on shore a trge quantity of luggage, and they appeared have no lack of money-facts which appear I to attest that their long cruise has net been nrewarded. The news of their arrival soon pread, and crowds of persons collectivg on ie stage formed themselves into groups around ae sailors and endeavored to draw them into onversation. These attempts, however, rare y succeeded, and when they did, it 'was evi~ at that the men spoke rather to evade curi sity than to satisfy it. The men, indeed, ap. eared to be themselves quite in the dark as >their position, and though under the im ression that they had done witkh th;e Shenan oab for good, and all appeared to labor under fear of committing themselves or their offi ers by some rash statement. Some of them agerly questioned the bystanders as to what be English people though t of the Shenandoah, nd two or three of them expressed the great. st surprise that the officers of that vessel bould even have been suspected of pursuing bieir work of destruction with a k-nowledge of be termination of the war. The men, though xhibiting a marked reticence on matters con ected with the discipline of the ship, speak ~eely of the circumstances which led the bhenandoah to terminate her privateering areer, namely, the meeting with the shr'p ~arracouta, which the crew are unanimousa in lleging as the first source through which re able information was received of the termina ion of the war. Many of the crew of the Shenandoah arc iverpool men, and these immediately on be ~g landed drove off to then homes. The men eclare that they are at perfect liberty to dc that they choose, and that their discharge is neonditional. At all events, they have been aid off in A merican dollars, and many of them ti, no dloubt, to-day, be on their way to then parts of the country. [Lirerpool Courier, Nor. 938 CAPT. wA)DEL.L'5 LETTER TO EARL RUSSELL. Captain Waddell, in a letter to Earl Rus ull which is published says: "In obediedee to orders,*I found myself in be Arctic and Ochotsk Seas, far removed -om the ordinary channels of commerce, and 1 consequence of this awkward circumstance was engaged in acts of war until the 28th ol une. I was ignorant of the reverses suffered y the Confederates, and the total obliteration the Government under which I acted. I eccived the first intelligence of the downfall f the Oonfederate cause on the 2d of August, com the British bark Barracouta, and desis ed immediately from further acts of war un iI could communicate with a European port, nd learn if the intelligence was true. I could ot have been sensible that the tales told by Loerican ships were true but merely upon be statement of a British captain I diligently onght for a precedent in law-writers for gui ince in the future control, management, and .nal disposal of the vessel, but found none. 'inding the authority questionable under -hich I acted, I immediately ceased cruising nd shaped her course for the Atlantic. I id not feel justified in destroying the vessel, ut, on the contrary, thought the ship should evert to the American Government. I, there >re, sought Liverpool to learn the news, and without foundation, to surrender the ship, rith the guns, stores and apparel complete, >the British Government, for such disposi ion as it should deem proper." Captain Waddell, the commander of the henandoah, states that the last vessel he poke was the Barracouta, from Liverpool for an Francisco, from which he learned that nme South was really and truly defeated. On ais he at once stowed away his guns and am munition in the hnle, and stem-od for Liver pool, stopping at no other port. On arriving near the port he took a pilot on board, and finding the news of the defeat of the Confed eracy confirmed beyond all doubt, he desired him to take the Shenandoah alongside a man of-war, if there was one in the river. The ex-cruiser was in consequence placed along side the Donegal, and a crew from that vessel placed in charge of her, some customs officers also being in charge with them. Immediate ly after the surrender, Captain Wade1, his officers and crew came on shore. As she came up the river, the Shenandoah excited great attention, the sight of the Confederate ensign she carried being a novelty. As soon as the necessary fornalities were coucluded, it was believed she would be handed over to the United States Government. According to variou.s reports, Captain Waddell was more than once told while cruising in the Pa cific of the termination of the war, but as his informants were the crews of the Northern vessels lie destroyed, he refused to give cfed en,ce to the statement. The crew of the Shen aTtdoab, it is said, suffered much from hunger and three are reported to have died from star, vation. THE VESSEL SURRENDERED TO THE 'NITED STATES kUiHORITIs. The Shenandoah was surrendered (o the American Consul on the 10th, who took for-t mal possession, and placed her under Captain Freeman and a crew of his own selection, tor I convey. the ship to New York. T11E NEW MINISTRY-SPEECa OF EARL RUSSELL. Earl Russell attended the Lord Mayor's banquet on the 5th. In a speech, he paid a tribute to the memory of P almerst-on. Ad verting to the last reconstruction of the Cabi net, he said he had received the fullest sup port from his colleagues, with the remark on its policy that he trusted the country would allo,W time to consider the course they ought to pursue, and he should abide bytbe princi ples of his life. The Government deemed it their duty to consalt the wishes of the people, and it would be for Parliament to consider how far those were based on justice. He thanked God the Am erican war was over, and he trusted the republic, now freed from the sin of slavery, would go on and prosper for centuries to come. OIN'IONS OF THE PREsS. The reception of Russell at the banquet was a practical reply to the detraction which had lately pursued the government. Russell's language could only be used by men who feel the important measures expected of them, and are willing to encourage the hope. fLoredon Daily Neix, t h The effect of the speech was rather an en couragement to the cause to reform. [London Star 1Ith. A Good Precedent. The published determination of the Clerk, Mr. McPheison. not to place the names of the members elect from the Southern States on the roll of the House of Representatives in Congress, has brought to light through the Cincinnat' Commercial a similar incident in Congressional history. From this incident in the historical records of the House, we learn that on the 2d of December, 1889, at the opening of the 26th Congress, Hugh Garland, clerk of the 26th Congress, refused to call the names of the members from New Jersey, because the seats of all the members of that State were contested. For three days there was an excited and wild debate, the House being bo0th unorganized and disorderly. On the fourth dlay, the clerk was directed to call the roll again-, and commencing with Maine, had proceeded according to the geographical situation of the States as far as New Jersey, Iand was about to say that he would not call the names of members of that State, when John Quincy Adams, who bad not had any thing to say about the controversy up to that moment, suddenly took the floor and said. "I rise to interrupt the clerk." Instantly there was profound silence in the ball and Mr. Adams said: "We degrade and disgrace our constituents and the country because the clerk of-the House the mere clerk whom we employ 'tid whose existence depends upon our will, usurps the throne and sets us, the represenm tatives and vicegere'nts of the whole Ameri can people, 'at defiinOe and holds them in contempt. Arnd what is this clerk of yours ? Is he to suspend by his mere negative the functions of Government and put an end to this Congress? lIe refuses to call thme roll. It is in your power to compel him to call it, if he will not do it. v.ohntarily. (Here Mr. Adams was interrupted by a member, who said he was authorized to say that compulsion -could not reach the clerk, who had avowed Jthat he would resign rather than call the State ~Nw Jersey.) Well, sir, let him resign," continued Mr. Adams, "and we may possibly discover some way by which we can get along without the aid of his all-powerful tal ents, learnling and genius." ir. Adams submitted a motion to require of the clerk to call the roll for the State of New Jersey, and there was a general out-cry of "How shall the question be put ?" All knew the clerk would not put it. Mr. A dams said "I intend to put the question myself.". T hat solved the dimculty. Richard flarn weli Rhett, of South Carolina, sprang upon a desk, and moved that the HIon. John Qincy Adams, of' Massachusetts, take the chair, ss presiding~ officer, and officiate until the House be or ganized by the election of its constitutional officers. Thc miotion was put and carried. Mr. Adams was escorted to the chair. New Jersey was called and the House organized. We trust that if Mr. McPherson should prove to be refra'tory, and according to his avowed purpose endeavor to usurp the throne, there will be manhood and patriotism enough found among the conservatives of the [louse to follow the precedent set by Mr. Adams.

Mr. Editor: Never before in the history of our State has the plar.ting mind of the coun tyy been so exercised as at the present. 'Fach neighbor is inquiring of his still further offi neighbor, "How do you propose regulating labor on your plantation rext year?" This one propotes to interest the labo~rer by giving him a proportion of the crop ; that one thinks as "money made the mare go," it wil! be the only effectual stimulus to the freed-men, and hence propdses to pay iihonthly. I advocate neither of these plans, but prefer a mixture of the two, which simply means to pay in money for the'quantity harvested. For instance, for each bale of cottom (400 pounds), each bushel of corn,- peas, or small grain, for each gallon of syrup, and pounI or hundred pounds of fodder, I propose prying so much, the aggregate bt.g divided pro rata amongz the hands, who will in the contract be rated -is full, three-quarters, or half hands. Medical attendance and all other plantation expenses to be furnished by the master, but deductions to be made at the expence 'of the laborer, such as loss of time from any other cause than that created by the master, fines imposed and boarding of children. IEvic tion" and discharges to be within the power of the iaster at all times for disobedience, idleness, or impude'nce. .Stock will be raised by a servant not coun ted.a field hand, whose pay will depend upon the flock or herd, and the number of' polnds of pork butchered. In a similar way is poultry to be grrwn. No employee wiH be allowed to raise chickens or cuftiva-te a patch for himself, and by no means to own a dog. With these explanatory iterns, Mr. Editor, I give you below my contract fo a plantation or farm working seven hands. Of course the same would answer in form and primeple fo - any number of hnrfds: FORM OF CoNTRAcT. - This agreement, made and entered into this the first day of January, 1866, between John Snith-6nthe 6o part and sundry' freed mein on the othe- Vatt, %itnesseth : That've (freedmen), whose names are here unto attached, do agree and bind ourselves to labor faithfully for one year for the aforesaid John Smith, obeying all his orders, consuiting defending and protnoting all the interests of his plantation, and rendering-it, by our indus try, as productive and the ensuing crop as abundant as possible. That we will be obe dient, humble,. civil and-ofte to hirtself, his family, or agent; and for violation of these1 pledges render ourselves liable-to the punish ments, or eit-her of them, mentionedbefow. In consideration of the service above speci fied, I, John Smith, do agree to house com fortably, feed liberally, and furnish medical attendance for the aforesaid freedmen, deduc ting, however, from their wages 50 cents per day for each day lost by one of the laborers from sickness, or any other cause, except that created by me. I further agree to board and lodge the chil dren (non-workers) of the aforesaid freedmen at a monthly expense of $2 each, and at'the end of the year to'pay the field hands, stock rinder and pultry woman as follows : The feld hands, for each bale of cotton (400-i pounds), $10 ; for each bushel of corn or peas, 20 cents; for each -hundred pounds of' fodder,, 20 cents ; for each gallo.n of syrup, 10 cents; for harvesting sr.all grain, 5 cents per bushel; these amounts to be aggregated and divided amongst the freedmen as rated below, each! full hand receiving one seventh ~6f the wtiole net amnount. The stock-minder will receive for each lamb or calf added to the flock or herd . during the year, 25 cents, and 1 cent per pound.for earli and every pound of pork btitchered in the fall of 1866. The pQuItry woman will be paid 5 cents for each. head of poultry grow'n. Any or all the freedmen parties to this con tract may be fined a sum not ordeeding $1 for- each offence, for idierness, -inpudence, dis obedience, or for maltreating the stock or the J. plantation, and for -repeated offences .may -be discharged at my. discretion, apjeal being granted in case of a discharge to a Magistrate or: thre District Judge-oss of time occisioned by the appeal chargeable to the offender. All expenses incurred by :reason of law regulating labor, approval of contracts, taxes of freedmen, and boarding the (non-workers)~ chldi'eh, will, be deducted fr<jna the wages oft each freedmen as he may be severally liable.

SPEAKER CoLFAX.-Washington, November 22.-The speech of ex-Speaker (3olfax here,1 -equiring new tests from the South, does not meet with President Johnson's approval.

Workmen in 'the lake tunnel at Chicago, 'orty feet below the bottonm of the lake, can car the engines and padd!c wheeles <f thet tamers passing ovcrhead. The following are extracts from a letter written by a distinguished gentleman : First-Brazil is, in my opinion, a most suit able and desirable country for Southern raised people. Its Government is a tild monarchy, well and evenly administered. The rights of persons and property are sacredly respected, and when invaded, as speedily vindicated as any%rhere'Tn the world. Second-Tbe climate of many portions of the empire is very fine-the thermomet,r ranging from 30 to 59. Mu"h of the country is mountainous, and the supply of water is very fine, fresh freesto'ne. Third-There are large tracts of nim proved lands, much of which is vastly rich., and penetrated by good, and in many cases, ravigable rivers. Fourth-:The country produces sugI&, cot on, rice, tobacco, coffee, hides, horns, talow, medicinal plants, and fine rosewood. The province or Pernamb ico raises cotton, sugar, rice. Bahia"produces sugar and coffee. R o Janerio the woods, coffee and medicinal pignts. The Rio Grande is the great district for hidtS, horns, tallow, etc., Many of the minerals arc found in the St. Paul's province, where are ituate,I the diamond, gold and silver rnines. A railroad has been constructed, penetrating the country froithe great city of Rio Janeire to the city of St. Paul's, a distance of 150 t( 170 miles. ~The city of Rio Janeiro in 185, had a population of 500,000. St. Paul's 80, 000. The latter has greatly inareased in the last five years. Fifth-I would prefer a settlement on tho. St. Francisco River, orin the province of St. Paul's. Both are rich and healthy countriep. and accessible. The one is in the interior, the other from seventy to bi4hty tallis froe. the coast. There 'are other very desirabli districts wfich hold out strong inducement. for settlement. There are large tractau f ver -- fine lands in Rio Janeiro, suitable for cottoi and especially far coffee, which is the great staple of the country, the empire having ex ported as much as 3,500,000 bags in a year. Qoffee-is very easily raised. The third year after it is plted it produces a fair yield, ar. then progresses, increasing in proportion from year to year. There are fair producing trees fifty years old. . The nett revenue from1 each hand was, *heni left Rio Janeiro, couI; ted it from four to six dollars. Sixth-Emigrants should take with them a plain, strong, light clothing, including boots, hats and shoes, to last thew a year, also son:c furnittre. Seventh-The Government grants four hundred acres of land to actual settlers. Som wheat and Indian cornis r.i[ed in the cour. try. But the arrow-root, banana and orang? yield so abundantly that they furnishi larg supplies for food. The arrow-root is a a mirable article *for use. The price ofA'eci riages from five to'seven cents per pound. Eighth-The entire population in 1 56 wa about seven millions and a half; of 'thes. four millions, were free whites, three million,; were slaves, and five hundred thousand were free uegroes. Ninth-The writ of habeas corpus-trial by. jury, ieligious freeeom of speech and tl press, are all guaraiteed by the ConstitutioP. ani-practically prevail..
