LONDON, MONDAY, OCT. 17, 1864.

Mr. GLADSTONE'S remarks at Manchester were
characterised by much the same tone which
distinguished his speeches at Liverpool. It not
b ing the first time that the right hon. gentleman
had spoken publicly in Manchester, he was
enabled to draw a comparison between the past
and the present, which was alike instructive and
interesting. He truly stated that the years of
progress, of suffering, which had since: passed had
given them all much valuable experience, and
exhibited to them in its true light the character o!
their country and countrymen. In no better place
could the Chancellor of the EKchelaer have made
this remark than in Manchester, the centre of the
district in which so much suffering has been
nobly borne and well endured. In taking
a retrospective glance at the period which
had passed since he last addressed them, Mr.
GLADSTONE expatiated upon the great change
that had taken place in the discussion of our
fureign policy. In past days this was confined
to the periods when any particular instance arose,
bat now all that refers or relates to other lands ere
constantly considered by the Legislature, the press,
and the people. It was a happy ea pression of the
right hon. gentleman's that we have now no
i‘ natural enemy," In olden days it was the fashion
to consider that this country must have some spe-
cial and particular antagonist—some nation that
was to be regarded in the light of a deter•
mined foe ; but the spread of enlighten-
ment and the interchange of communica-
tions hive done great things in the way of
effecting a change in this important particular.
A Minister of the Crown holding a responsible po-
sition in the councils of his Soveteign can hardly
announce a more cheering fact than that we are at
peace and likely to continue on good terms with
other countries of the world. Mr. GLADSTONE'S
remarks were in a general sense. He did not touch
upon the particulars of recent events in the north
of Europe, bat it cannot be said that the last two
years have witnessed the successful government in
effecting what he rightly says ought to be our aim
and end in the communications that we have with
other countries, " that they should adopt for their
standing guidance of conduct the principle of re.
ecting the rights of one another." With respect

the American war the Chancellor of the Es-
chcquer deckred that they held that we had
no right to interfere with the Americans
settling their own affairs, but he gave it as his own
opinion that " he had always had great doubts as to
the probability of reducing to subjection any large
portion of a country that manifests a determined
disposition, to separate." The tight hon. geitleman
d the perspicuity to declare this some time ago,
when he said that JEFFERSON DAVIS had made the
South a nation, and Succeeding
events have fully
borne out the validity of his opinion. Most far-
sighted observers of foreign Policy have come round
to this view of the question by this time, whatever
their desires as to the result may be, and this cons
viction serves to increase the feeling of regret at the
great sufferings that have been so needlessly inflicted
here in England, end to a far greater extent in
Americi. Mr. GLADSTONE'S concluding remarks
upon the dieress that has occurred in the northern
districts were very effective. He truly said that
the recollection of the last three years is as worthy
