matter, yet-from general feeling that war with
America was impossible and consequently need not
be thought about. The Manchester men speak of
the "interest" being so great as to overcome all
diplomatic difficulties; and are now setting going
public meetings in the country, to promote friend
illness. And so the case stands.
News from the Continent there is none Of impor-
lance. The Emperor of Russia is at Warsaw, and
the Italian question in the same suspense as the
American one. Under these circumstances, shall
al my letter with what second-rate and domestic

have something more important to talk about
One result Of the Paris Congress excited
smart debate in the Lords few days since. 1t
seeIus that we have agreed to give up our old En-
gsh claim of a right to seize the goods OF enemies
in the ships OF neutras. series OF resolutions
were moved against the surrender Lord Derby
made violent speech; a hundred Peers followed
him, but Government triumphed. Pitt, Mansfield
and Canning were all summoned by the enthu-
siastc Earl to testify from the world OF spirits to
the ndignity thus done u.s. 1t was pronounced
symptOm of decline gratifying to Russia, delight
country, however, seems to have made up its
mind to il, as change which we have not the
power, even if we had the wish, to avert. But so
lar, Lord Derby is right, that it is an important
event In it's way to see any ancient claim come to
an end once for all, to see the death Of anything
which our ancestors stuck to as part Of their
rights on our favOrite element. What would old
John Selden have said-prince of jurists and Ia
BILE takers? Derby's speech was envened by
some capital hits at the Duke of Argyle,
and between these Lords there is no love lost
Argyle 10 provoking peer-from his "cockey'
eef efficiency and the brisk, dOgmatc air Of his
clever little face and his neat little fgure-bOth
the more conspicuous from his yellow gold locks,
which make his head shine in crowd like bea-
con-light. He happened to mistake an allusion OF
Derby's to Granville for an allusiOn to himself
which gave D. capital opportunity Of hitting at
hie eqotsm. In presence vivacity, and oratorical
force the head Of the Stanleys 10 far beyond tho
head of the Campbes; but the latter is on the
Liberal or winning side, is adored in Scotland for
his sbyterisnism, and married to daughter OF
the Duke of Sutherland. His connections are Of
the highest Wing kind, therefore, and he must

q great part If you read the debate Of which
am speaking, you will see Lord Hardwicke de-
clariDg that in the event of war with America
we should have Americas privateers-a DECLARE
ton calculated to startle good people here, who
think all such wickedness done away with, and
who see every day some traces of the softening
influences now brought to bear on war, a.
shown in the Russian one. This Lord Hard
wicke 10 q rich Tory peer-a captain in the navy
--selfsatsfed, somewhat pOmpOus, and very
ordinary man in brains. Naval men did not IKE
him when he had ship in the Mediterranean last,
hear. In this same debate, the Tories again con
demned the peace ss humiliating and tainted
Clarendon with signing the protocol about the
Belgian Press. Clarendon replied that what be
signed only referred to certain prints appearing
without printers name, recommending assass-
nation &c, enemies Of true liberty" &c, &c.
But he has not yet heard the last of that protocol
which "sticks in the gizzard" Of people here, and
helps to produce that uncertainty as to the future
which distinguishes public feeling We are in q
hind of misty doubt as to what is really the ten
dency Of foreign politics. Italy s agtated, Aus
tria suspicious Prussia neutral and dubious, and
we in England don't know what our Government
IL going to do about any of them. The Tories ac
cuse Pam of moving the Italian question just as
Liberal trick, without any serious intentions.
Manchester Through The Star, it's organ pooh
pools intervention there and in my opinion, we
shall soon see as one result of it all, reaction
against continental politics altogether, and return
to the old nsuar doctrine that il is not business
to NEEDLE with them more than avoid. A
remarkable speech Of Lord Stanleys, SOME weeks
since, pointed this way. And it is certainly extra
ordinary shat while we ts& and write so much of
Sardinia, the Principalities, &c, we don't half
attack Anglo-SsxOn or colonial questions or even
pressing domestic ones. Ii was only after beng
