Thc- English paper.- generally have ai ticles on the correspondence between Mr. Adams, the American Minister, and Earl Russell, just published, and regard it as most important. jfeThc London Ti aes says that it is the most important discussion in ref? ranee to the rights and duties of neutrals that has been carried on for many years betweo the representatives of two great maritime Tower's. The Tones can hardly doubt that Earl Russell's proposal for a commis? sion will ultimately be accepted as the most satisfactory method of adjusting toe out? standing claims between che two nations. No foreign sovereign nor State could have entered mto all the details of each specific claim and counter claim; for ii must not bc forgotten that we, too, have long biils against the United States for damages in? curred by Drix iah subjects during the war. Still less"could we have consented, us Earl Russell points ont, to submit the bona files of our Government <>r the Legal comp? tency of our law officers to the judgment of any foreign Government. The best, if not the only, soluti >n of the difficulty, therefore, was that suggested by Earl Russell, audwc earnestly hope it will bo the means for the | termination of a controversy which, but for j the forbearance shown by both parties, would certainly "nave led t - a rapture be- j tw.-.'n Great Britain and the United States, j The candid and friendly tone of argument ! so elaborately conducted by Earl Russell ; anti His as? er Adams justin-. . this especia- : tien. Th; Tir.?es winds up its article by point? ing to ihe*Fcnian movement in America as greatening a breach of ^tue ^ Foreign as to look at such proceedings from | an American point of view, and will help our critics t? look at them from our point < i view. In the meantime, let us i agree differ amicably, and not allow a | tranisent feeling of jealousy or resentment to prejudice the permanent settlement of s, i question in which all the maritime nations ! .ire equally concerned. Thy Ti?ies, in au ither article, contends j that if Englan ' che -? s t ? bi angry or ir.- ; considerate, she would have greaterreasen ? to complain of America's position r.s. a ; neutral IE thc Fenian movement than ever \ America has had in regard zo England's attitude towards tho South, inasmuch as thc- Fenian n! : was formed in America, by : American citizens, although the c< ..spirt- ? tors aiay have been mostly of Irish extrae- : tion The Tones, li iwever, admits that the ' Am. rican Government Las acted in regard : to movements of the Fenians with all . honorable openness, notwithstanding tho secret filibustering plots < .: its citizens. ; The London Post thinks that Earl Rus- : si b's proposition to the American Govern- ; ment vdh most probably be accepted. The. London Neics savs : "it is clear thu: the discussion of the qnestioa. is ex? hausted. The British Minister has dis? tinctly declared that the question is 'Has 1 her Maj .-?ty's Government act- d w ith good faith and honesty ?' and if this be .-o, the public will agree with the Foreign Minister that it cannot be entertained or referred to any potentate or i-ody whatever." The N?ics continues: "If it be absolutely ne? cessary to British honor and dignity"that the claims bo met by a simple negative. Parliament and tho people must maintain that position." It hopes, however, that tie goc-l st. ti--.: of modern statesmen may be? t?rt long find a resolution. The Loudon Stn:', (Mr. Bright's paper,. - it G ?tober 12. says: It would be difficult t overrate thc im? portance of thc correspondence between .cari Russell and Mr. Adams, which last night was published in a supplement zo thc Loud- O-azette. The correspondence, al? though generally courteous, is not unfre . ?r.e..t'y -.barp and caustic, especially on tin side of Mr. Adams. Mr. Adams during the continuance of the wai- Lad a task to fulfil such a? has seldom fallen to the lot o: any minister. He endured tin disagreea? ble incidents of his position with a most her 'ic fortitude, which will earn for ltira in history a place not unworthy of his illus? trious ancestors. Wich a man less calm, les.- canable of p-;-ro< iving the enormous ev;'.s cf v war with Engli nd. less ; ssureel of tin ultimate triumph of his country's cans . and therefore less disposed to await thc correcting influence of time to remove many of the prejudices which clamored a - nnd him, it is not saying too much i - hazard the assertion that "peace w >nld have been impossibh . Thc -eh. tiona which Mr. Li...-.-in made of the European representa? tives of the republic in its s. ason of trial is an th r proof or' thc unfailing sagacity ??hieb distinguishe 1 thai gr< a* patriot. We could have wished -ha' the conclusion :<. ii tuc Government has pome had ?...so explicit? ttated that the W!J.?I.- poo pb could Lave nc ?ifficultyin understand? ing i Lt full fore* and effect of thc prone -. 1 commission. Is the Government, while re? fusing an arbitration, willing ?> refer tlie claim? concerning r?:t Alabama to a j- -in; ? i i.im.-?ion < f English and American sub jects? Orare we t<> accept the refusal to make reparation anti compensation for tko captures made by the Alabama as absolute, and is the commission merely to be en? trusted with the subsidiary claims, con? cerning which neither the British nor the American people car .-oin. straw? We un? derstand the latter to be the decision of the Government-that is, that so far as regards claims concerning prizes, blockade runners, compensation to British subjects injured bv tue operations of the armies, ami such like, 't' which a great number have ac? cumulated, the Government proposes that these should be referred to a joint commis? sion, but that the claims of the United States with regard to the depredations of the Alabama, and even all proposals ot ar? bitration on this question between the two nations, are positively repudiated. The London Herald, (Lord Derby's or- j gan. i of September 12, says: The Government of thc United States must have the best reason just at present for wishing to remain at peace with the world outside of ii. Considering the im? mense difficulty o? the task which lies be? fore it : that it is called upon to staunch the "rounds of a nation still bleeding and sore from the results of a conflict unprece? dented in modern times for its fierceness ; to calm the still seething elements of dis? cord, which threaten, on the one hand, to prevent the reconstruction of a State so violently dislocated and rent asunder: on the other hand, to substitute tor the war ?d' sections a more furious war of race, which will heap horror upo:, horror ; considering, too, that the resource- of the country have been already, to all appearance, taxed to their uttermost, so that their emly chance o? recovery seems to ho in long years of peace, we can well understand that Mr. ? Johnson and Iiis advisers are prepared to sec the ir faces mos* firmly against any aug- , gestions of fresh war with foreign nations, i We can believe that they are prepared to discountenance any absurd raid into Cana- I da, or descent upon Ireland, by the crazy men cabed Fenians, i r any crusade iii Mexico in behalf of a lost cause. It has needed ali their strength co get the better, ! in four years' ".var. of a minority of their citizens, array? d in arms against their ? Government: to challenge just now, with ; any chance of success, the power of a first j class G ivernmont. such, as that of France or Eugland. would be impossible. It is to . their interest to live not only at peace, but ? on good terms with these countries. The European Powers on their side are willing, j us far as Lu them hes, i > give every oppor tunity to America to carry out hordes-', tinies in the way that pleases her best, to ! leave her undisturbed to the de velopment of a restored polity wich may seem t?? them but a poor reward in itself for the im- ' meuse sacrifices that have been made iu its \ assertion by arms. This being so. we ihLii; it much to be re? gretted that any r. mnant of iii feeling should be ^ti'd kept up between the English ' and American G ?verni tents by the prolon- , gation of such a corresnondom e as that on , the subject of the Alabama and lier con? sorts. This correspondence is needlessly irritating, andean lead to no good result. Every American statesman of education must know perfectly well that no English minist vs could listen to a claim so ill found? ed, wc might sav M> insulting, as that pf compensation tobe paid by this country for the depredations of these cruisers. The thing is simply r it of the question. AU the batteries of Mr. Adams might be pointed against the Foreign Officefor years, without any prospect cf forcing it to a sur? render on such a challenge. We had hoped that the whole of this tedious business was done with : that when Federals and Confederates had agreed to bury the hatchet, even Lord Russell am' Mr. Adams might have smoked the pipe of peace together. We were sadly disap? pointed by the issue of last night's izette. A correspondence of a truly formidable nature was before us. Sot content, it stems, with despatches of the ordinary dimensions, the rival diplomatists have been pelting one another with treatises, j We ca1, n.it but think tba; it would have been far mort- dignified in our Foreign Secretary to have bri? fly stated th? im I possibility ol acceding to such demands, i than to have gone into so lengthened and ' wearisome an effort to rebut them, only to wind up with so weak and humiliating a , coneliision as tlmt .' Her Majesty's Govern? ment are willing to consent to the appoint? ment of a commission"' to consider and do ' termin? upon thc claims arising between the two Governments luring the late civil 1 war. We cannot conceive that any good , could arise from the labors o? such a com : mission. It Ls to be honed that the United States Government will not avail itself of i theft? ra,iiiii.- opportunity to r -open the hun ?ri d v( ?ed questions which it were to I be wished on all hands might nowbesuf ; fared to sleep. Mr. Adams lia- made known ;t>e proposition, and awaits instruc ! lions. We. too, a'.taii this news with much j apprehension. W< darenoi say what effect I upon the temp.; of this country, what dis? astrous disturbance ol the present friendly relations between. England and America, j may not result from the deliberate attempt I to appraise th? losses- caused by thu con ! federate cruisers, and exact payment for them at our han.':-. Fins, however, is thc contingency for which 1.' rd Russell has b. en pr? paring us. Bi B. DeS AXJSSTJRE ATTORNEY AT LAW COMMISSIONER ft EQUITY. Mr.ss::s.
