LoADON, THURSDAY, NOV. 6, 1862.

We are bound in justice to notice that one Ameri-
can Minister at least has made his country's apology
for the outrage by the gunboat Montgomery on the
British ship Blanche, in Spanish waters. We trust
we shall soon have to announce that Mr. ADAMS,
here, has followed his example, by making an
apology and something more, tothe British Govern-
ment. The Spanish Government, it will be seen,
made up their mind to demand the punishment
oft he offending officer; a demand we hope they will
not ; but the American Minister intervenes
with a complete disavowal of the act. This is not
enough for Spain. The officer who did not
know better than to hoard a British ship
aground in Spanish waters, and on which
a Spanish officer had hoisted the Spanish flag as
a signal of protection, and then to insult the
Spanish officer personally, and burn the ship. The
officer who could do this ought to be excluded
from the naval service of any civilised State. Eng-
laod will also have a claim for dismissal for the
insui,t to her flag on a merchant vessel, carrying
nothing' contraband of war, and the destruction
of the property. The owners of the vessel must
of course be fully indemnified. We observe
that at last instructions to American naval
captains to act in conformity to the law
of nations have been issued from their
Admiralty. One of them is, " that under no
circumstances are they to seize any vessel within
the waters of a friendly nation." As the order
bears date the 18th of August, we might save sup-
posed the commander of the Montgomery was ac-
quainted with it. That, however, is, in this case,
no business of ours. It is for our Government to
insist, for its own reasons, an apology and resti-
tution.

There are indications that Mr. COBDEN'S appeal
will be responded to, and that the collection of
contributions to support Lancashire out of work
will be both national and systematic. The fact is
becoming but too obvious, that, according to all
reasonable calculation, the distress will become
deeper every month, almost every day, while the
'owl means will as rapidly become less and unable
to meet it. There is no likelihood, no. possibility,
indeed, of a speedy supply of cotton, and what is
now in hand can be sold only at a price which few
manufacturers can venture to give. The running
of 'sills will become exceptional, and for the com-
pletion of special orders. With the present rela-
tion of prices between the raw cotton and the manu-
factured article, it would be folly to go on produc-
ing.. Better spend in direct relief what must cer-
tainly be lost. We have thus the prospect of a
vast population already out of work, and subsisting
on a pittance "barely sufficient to keep body and
soul together'—of their number being augmented
every week from the ranks of the smaller num-
ber, about
one-fourth, of the unemployed, and
of the partially employed all these, by
the exhaustion of their savings, being thrown
more and more upon parish or charitable re-
lief for mere RNA*
t
the very large aumeuence ; while, at the same time
built their mine end ea " r
of. manufacturers who have
with borrowed carried on their business largely

be almost impoverished
themselves by the cessation a that business. The
prospect is therefore one
of
certainly large and cer-
tainly growing distress.
The only course
is that which Mr.ri

which we are thankful to is

the

to make the relief national. There are namely,
but two
ways of doing this—we must either resort to
theconsolidated fund, or to a really national sub.
scription. The objections to the first have
been taught us by the Irish famine. The
national treasury ought to be the last
