In the House of Commons on tbs 26th ult.,
Sir J. VVaise asked Iiord Palmerston Whether

States any formal official demand for compensa
tion to American subjects (ot losses, sbsUined
by the Alabama, or any other Confederate cru
isers alleged to have been equipped in British
ports. '- -''; -t .
Lord Palmerston said correspondence had ,
been going on for some time between the two
governments on the prizes takeu , by the Ala
bama, and ether vessels of the saiue ki'ndL Theie
bad been received within the last, fcjw days

4 'A. COliMESrS OF il E ENiLISU PiiESS,
The Loudju Times in au editorial; tn ists that
there is nothing in the Alabama afFatr which
need cause apprehensions ofrupture, either now,
or at any future time.-1 1 The American qommer- "
cial marine .has, indeed, fuUered ; bud such a .
calamity must, be expected when a njaritime
and trading State enters into a coatcst with an'
energetic and activq enemy. It is With a cleir
conscience that the-government, which declined .
everyjjnvitation to interfere in the wareven by
olfers", of. mediation, riow stands on ,. its legal
rights and refuses to "make any-compensation
where it has done no wrong. ': f
The' London Daily News hopes that i ' Presi
dent ; Johnson does not intend to giv up thr '
claim he will soon prefer it, so that oncj wajy or
the other the matter may be brought to settle
ment. It adds Lord Palmersturs reply last
night was very unsatisfactory. It woald fxif
been very easy to say that a formal and ofQcial
demand had been made by the United: States
government, or ; that it bad not. The NtutM
trusts that some member of Parliamentjwill ii
sist upon knowing whether a definite demand
has been made far indemnity, and whethenany
new demands have been made since President
Johnson's accession to power, and : it fdds-. .
"We'have not the slightest doubt as tol tk in

f The London Myrning pott says that Kbt-ctr-respondenee
can lead to "only one resuli, name- '
ly : -Unconditional refusal on oar par$ to in
demnify the Americans for the losses occasioned
by the chances of war. '" ;
The "London Tivvs, in another editorial on
these claims, says that aNot a tingle precedent
can be " produeed we believe, for the' allowance
of a similar claim under; similar circumstances,
and no rule of natural justice enjoins ust to pay
for" the mischief done by the Alabama! The
Times questions whether the American govern
ment did their duty with adequate vigor gainst
these privateers,' and says that It was doubt
