LONDON, SATURDAY, 138. 8.

Hex Maiwrrr's government have lost no time in
presenting Parliament with ample materials for a
review of the policy they have pursued as a neutral
power in their relations with the government of the

United States, from the commencement of the
civil war to the present date. Last evening, six
sets of papers were, by command of her Majesty,
presented to both Houses of Parliament These
papers comprise—No.l, " Correspondence relating
to the Civil War in the United States of North
America," beginning with a despatch dated Nov.
12, 1860, from Lord Lyons, announcing the elec-
tion of Mr. Lincoln as President, the consequent
dissatisfaction in the Southern States, and ap-
prehensions of danger to the Union, and concluding
with a despatch dated Feb. 1, 1862, from Earl
Russell to Lord Lyous, enclosing a copy of the
instructions issued (and published in the London
Gazette of Jan. 31) for the preservation of neu-
trality in all plums within British jurisdiction.
No. 2 (a " Blue-book" properly so called, and
running to 367 pages) is entitled " Extract of
a Despatch from her Majesty's Minister
at Washington, dated December 6, 1861, enclosing
Papers relating to Foreign Affairs, laid before the
Congress of the United States at. the Opening of
the Session in 186 L" This "enclosure" is of a very
miscellaneous character, embracing as it does in-
structions and despatches from Mr. Seward to
repreeentativesof the United States accredited to the
governments of Great Britain, France, Belgium,
Prumia, Russia, Austria, Italy, Spain, Rome,
Denmark, Turkey, Egypt, Holland, Sweden, Por-
tupl, Switzerland, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala,
Nicaragua, Venezuela, Chili, the Hawaiian
Islands, and Japan. Those addressed to Mr.
Adams, in London, and to Mr. Dayton, in Paris,
discover an uneasy feeling on the part of the
American government as to the recognition of the
Southern States as "belligerents," a certain sus-
ceptibility as to the concerted action of the British
and French ministers at Washington, yet a con-
stant disposition withal to maintain the most
friendly relations with the British government
No. 3 is in some respects the most important
batch of correspondence, since it relates "to thell
overtures addressed to the contending parties in
the United States, with a view to their adhesion to
the principles of maritime law as laid down by the
Congress of Paris in 1856." These negotiations, as
our readers will remember, had reached the point
of a Couveutiun being drawn up for the signature
of the government of the United States, adhering
to the principles laid down by the Congress of
Paris. Mr. Adams and Mr. Dayton, however,
were instructed to break off the negotiations alto-
gether, in consequence of • declaration proposed
by Earl Russell to be made upon signing the Con-
vention, to the effect that her Majesty did not
intend thereby to undertake any engagement which
should have any bearing, direct or indirect, on
the internal differences prevailing in the United
States.
No. 4 comprises an episodical correspondence re-
specting the withdrawal by the government of the
United States of Mr. Bunch's exequatur as her
Majesty's Consul at Charleston. The Federal
government had taken offence at Mr. Bunch's
having, together with his French colleague, according
to instructions from her Majesty's government,
and in pursuance of an agreement between the
British and French governments, communicated to
"the persona exercising authority in the so-called
CLufederate States the desire of those governments
that the second, third, and fourth articles of the
Declaration of Paris should be observed by those
States in the prosecution of the hostilities in which
they were engaged."
No. 6 contains the Correspondence respecting the
Trent affair, and No. 6 the Correspondence (45
despatches in all !) relating to the Nashville and
Tusesrora at Southampton.
The bare description of these Blue-books enables
the reader to form some idea of the constant danger
of ignition which the American civil war has brought
as near to ourselves as a neutral State as if no
broad Atlantic lay between us and the burning
house be) oud.
From the tint, and throughout the diplomatic
4'..ns to which these documents relate, the

language of the British government is friendly,
frank, and firm, entirely dispassionate and disinte-
rested. Ou receipt of Lord Lyons' despatch, inti-
mating apprehensions of disunion, Lord J. Rus-
sell expresses the "concern of her Majesty's go-
vernment." In January, 1861, be instructs Lord
Lyons, iu the event of being asked advice by Mr.
Lincoln's cabinet, to reply that he is " not autho-
rised to give any advice, nor will her Majesty's
government do so, unless both parties should apply
to her Majesty fur counsel." In February, 1861,
the policy of her Majesty's government, "in the
event of Mr. Lincoln raising questions with Great
Britain," is laid down in the following clear and
emphatic terms :

LORD .1. ZUSSILL TO LORD LYONS.

Foreign-aloe, Feb. 70,1861.

The success or failure of Mr. Sevrard's plans to prevent
the disruption of the North American Union is a matter of
deep interest to her Majesty's government. But they can
only expect and hope. They are not called upon, nor would
they be acting prudently were they to obtrude their advice
on the diaaentient parties in the Uuited States. Supposing,
however, that Mr. Lincoln, acting under bad advice, should
endeavour to provide excitement for the public mind by
raising questiona with (treat Britain, her Majesty's govern-
ment feel no hesitation as to the policy they would purses
They would, in the first place, be very forbearing. They
would show by their acts how highly they valor the rein-
lima of peace and amity with the United Steam. But
they would take care to let the government which multi-
plied provocations and sought for quarrels understand that
their forbearance sprung from the consciousness of strength,
and not from the timidity of weakness. They would warn
• government which was making political capital out of
blu►tering demonstrations that our patience might be tried
too far. If this toes is taken when necessary, and only when
escessary, I have ao foam that the American liap.bliu will
seek a quarrel with • nation sprung from the same parents,
and united by language as well as by ties of kindred and •
long period of friendly intercom's.
