LONDOINT, TVEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1865.

MR. SEWARD apparently is not satisfied with the
experience and consequences of a four years' war.
He has gained some knowledge of the sufferings
and expenses entailed by civil discord, but that is
not enough for him, and he is now anxious to ex-
tend his acquaintance with military tactics by pro-
voking hostilities with Europe. His colleagues
may be wisest—his countrymen may be reluctant
to add to their 'national debt, or rather to begin a
new one before they have devised some means of
settling the old. Some calmer and more prudent
persons may also suggest that it is well to be off
with the old enemy as well as the old love before
you begin with a new one, and that while the
condition of the Southern States is so unsettled
and unsatisfactory it would be indiscreet to turn
the onus of the Union in another quarter. The
embers of discontent and disaffection are still
smouldering, and it only needs the outbreak of war
in another direction to rekindle the fiery independ-
ence and resistance to Federal authority. There
are still thousands of men trained to bear arms in
- the South who would easily find a leader to take
advantage of the North being off guard, and weak-
cned by a fresh contest with a superior instead of
perhaps an inferior force.

Mr. SEWARD, too, foresees these drawbacks to
his favouriteamusement, but he is eager at all events I 4
to have the chance in reserve, and he has sent a de-
spatch to the American Ambassador in France, in- ,
timating that the United States Government has
left itself at liberty to deal with the Mexican ques-
tion at a suitable opportunity. The completeness
and suddenness of the Northern triumph, due
rather to the unexpected collapse of the South than
to any superiority of Northern arms, has naturally
increased the characteristic self-confidence of the
Union Statesmen. The supineness and timidity of
the English policy, and the manifest fear which
exists in our Foreign-office of offending or thwart-
ing the supreme power at Washington, has not
served to moderate their pretensions. But Mr.
SEWARD seems to forget that he is not dealing with
Earl RUSSELL and his vacillating, half-hearted
Cabinet. lle is dealing with a ruler who, though
naturally unwilling to recognise the Confederacy
against the express declaration of this country, is
not in the habit of withdrawing from any course
upon which he has decided at the dictation of
another. The conquest of Mexico has not indeed
been very popular with the French people,
but the EMPEROR is so far committed to it
that he will not be likely to surrender
the Mexican Empire, which is so far under his pro-
tection, for fear of the Federal bayonets. There
has long been said to be a good deal of hostile feel-
ing between the French and the Federal troops on
the Mexican frontier, and it is now reported to be
on the increase. It is also said, though this rumour
requires confirmation, that orders have been issued
from Matamoras to prepare accoutrements for
35,000 Imperial troops, owing to a similar number
of Federal troops having been concentrated at
Brownsville and the vicinity.
The Federal Government has still the task of
preserving internal order on its hands, for we learn
that Governor BgowNLow has requested General
THOMAS to send troops into Tennessee to preserve
order during the elections. The Shenandoah is
still continuing her depredations on Federal com-
merce, the captain refusing to believe the news of
the conclusion of the war. There are enough
of
.
disturbing elements in the American atmosphere
just now to prevent anything like a return of con_
fidence or tranquillity.

Lord MALMESBCRY and Mr. GLADSTONE have
had a passage at arms concerning some remarks
which the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of
the Exchequer made at Liverpool during his recent
canvas there. Mr. GLADSTONE has clearly the worst
of it in this affair, and his endeavours to extricate
himself from the awkward position into which he
has placed himself by his exaggerated language are
quite unsuccessful. The disputed point is about
some remarks made by Mr. GLADSTONE respecting
the course pursued by the DERBY Government when
last in office; and Lord INIALMESBURY very appro-
priately takes him to task for his assertions, vihich
are not founded on fact. Doubtless, it was a
moment of great temptation to the Chancellor of
the Exchequer when he addressed his large audience
at Liverpool, and he could not resist the desire he
felt to do something to damage his opponents. He
had just sustained a signal defeat ; indeed, the most
memorable reverse of the election, and, thrown back
iA Lifs attempt to gam' his election ac Oxford, he
