The English Pursuit Of The Alabama

It was currently reportad, on 'Chauge at Liverpool on Wednesday afternoon tast in a few dayu oae of the fasteat screw ateamers aflöat would leavo a Bfitish port on s cruise after the Alabama. - This new steainer ha3 been purohased and is being fitted out at the solé expense of two first clas8 $uglish hous.es - one iü Iotidon and the other in this toWn-botü af whoai havo suffered heavily in coosequenge of the depredations of the famoua Confedérate cruiaer. T-he new vessel, it is expected, will steam three or foui' knots faseer tlian the Alabama ever eould do, beside being mueh stronger, and, wheu ariaed, carrying guns of sueh a calibre and coüstruction that the chances of the Alábanla beiug able to cope with her will be hopeless. She will be cominanded by a man who has alreaay gained much notenety in connection with ocean navigation, and in whom Captain Semmcs will find a foe worthy of his steel." The missiou of thi new steamei-, while it will be chiefly to hunf and catch the Alabama, will also be directed against the other Confedérate cruisers - Georgia, Florida, Rappahannock (shculd the latter go to sea) and Tuscaloosa. Already two barks bave lelt England with coals for the " new comer," whioh will be discharged rt one or two ports where this vessel will make her rendezvous. This steamer of course will act in conjunction with the federal cruiser now on the lookout for the Alabama. We may here repeat that this action on the part of British merchants is proinpted by heavy combined and personal loases in the destruetiou of neutral goods in American bottoms, and also from the fact that hitherto all tho efforts of the Federal navy to capture the Ala bama have been fruitlcss. The Manchester Examiner aks, "Can this be another Confedérale dodge ?" L,:L" The respective adrninislrations at Washington and Richmond are just dow agreed in one respect, at least. - A captured dispateh from the Richmond War Office to one of the commanding generáis, says: "So you see we can prolong the war and that is what ye want to do. The enemy does not want it to end vet either. We vvill be accomodating. - We are pinched now, and suffer mucb, hut relief is naar at hand." When wil! the people of the North awako to the fact that tbe adrninistratinn at Washington "does not want the war to end yet," - that it is prolqnging it for purtisan purposes it hesitates at no cost of treaiure and blood ?
