ENGLISH FEELING.

7, 10 observable that in all discussions OF American
matters before the 7eope Of England, the ror Popuh
is decidedly for The preservation of The most irenoy
re a,iuns between The two countries. Every remark
in their pubc speeches. which hcondenns an approach
10 hosliIiiies and upods the policy OF constant a.y
is invariably greeted With hears and cheers in
The House of Commons, Mr.. D'IsRAELI has recently
delivered sentiments Of this cast which were receiver
as usual with demonstrations Of applause. lhe tFu'"
anpears to be, that English statesmen are just begin
ing to comprehend Alright the nature Of out govern
men and the power Of its position, while JOHN BULL
ins,inc,s have long ago informed him that the United
States is not the country pick further quarrels WIN
The popun. breath is in advance Of Statesmen and
dn,oma,ists and is now forcing the leaders Of the
government to embrace its blunt but correct appre
cialion Of the Importance and greatness OF ihe Amef'
can people. 81
We extract brief passage ortypo from D'IsRAELl
sneech to show how eminent English gentlemen are
bu inst coming 10 see the truth it is on our side oi
the Atlantic and how awkardy they still stumble IN
their conjec,ures regarding us =:
"Iwish that the House off ldmmons would take
or r1rrsc pr,1it, qaeey
standings with country between which nnu ourselves
there ought to be such constant sympathy and snct
cordial alliance Sir il is impossible 10 suppose ina
the recruiting or the mode in which 1t was
especaly after the apologies which were olierea ny
the Government can really be The cause OF misunaof
standing which has unhappily occurred. l want u
know why the United States Governments even ao,
hitting their cause to be good one Is so prompt y
not eager 10 insist upon immediate separation u
will be we'll if we take this opportunity 40 not meal
This evening but before these great questions are se
Iled-of arriving definite result upon l'is point
1t wnnld be wise if England Would at la.t recognise
that The United States like all the great countries u
Luropc, haze pOlicy.''
How refreshngIy gracious the admission!
Now hear him on the Monroe doctrine, which ne
calls i" the doctrine of isolation |! !"
For my own part, look on all that has happened
with regard to Tie enlistment ques,un, as inuiraiVe
of The iistrust which prevails in The United states
and which has its origin in the conviction l'a' Inc
pocy of this country is hostile To the legitimate us
velopment of their ~ wer. 1t is my opinion That all
that America has fairly right 10 expect she may
obtain, without injury 10 Europe or 10 Englhnu III
parlicuar and that it is the buslness OF statesman
10 recurnse The necessity uf nn increase IN hrs power
and ut The same time to make her understand ll"l sNe
will most surely accomplish oil the objects sue pr"
poses to herself ny recognising those prnriples o'
International law which in civilized comm"niles
have always heen VI held and TO impress upon her
that, instead of Wanting that she will build her great
ness on the Monroe dUcrine which Is ihasdoc'Iine o
isolation she should seek 10 attain it by driefrh9 10
the pubic Law of Europe, and by allowing ner aesi

policy which all nations (which have great oes'lhes
to accomplish have invariably recognised.
