LONDON, FRIDAY, DEC. 2, 1864.

Earl RUSSELL has proved the truth of the saying
that there are none so deaf as those who will not
hear. His answer to the Minister of the Confede-
rate States appears much more like the address of
one who has made up his mind not to be convinced
than that of one who replies after mature conside-
ration to the urgent entreaties and well-grounded
arguments of his correspondents. When we look
at the Confederate Manifesto we are struck with its
moderation of tone and its energy of purpose. It
spaks the language of men who are resolved to do
or die, but at the same time do not intend to per■
severe any longer than absolutely necessary in the
prosecution of a erupt and exterminating war. In
nothing is there a greater difference d;s'inguishable
between the belligerent States of North America
than in the tone and temper that prevail in the op-
posite sides. Whereas the Federals are always
boasting of their own doings in an arrogant manner,
end bidding defiance to the world at large, the
Cmfederatcs, nn the contrary, seem anxious to set
tletnselves right with the witnessing nations, and
to absolve themselves of any share of blame in the
origin or persistent continuance of the war. In a
manly and straightforward style they now declare
that they earnestly desire peace, if compat:bie with
the retention of their just and inalienable rights.
The signal successes with which their warlike
efforts have been crowned finable them to make this
declaration without giving cause to any one to affirm
