ST.. JOINS, N. F., Aug 20-The steamship
Canada, from Liverpool Aug, TO- and Queens
town llth was intercepted by the news yacht
off Cape Race at 430 yesterday afternoon.
American affairs still claim undivided atten-
ton.
The London Times, in an editorial, takes
the recent speech OF Mr.. Vallandigham of
Ohio, as an evidence OF the charges that will
be brought against Mr.. Lincoln, it the south is
successful. 1t says that only victory by
which the stain of Manassas may be effaced,
and the south induced to come to terms, can
secure the president from the consequences OF
having begun the civil war.
The London Globe observes with regard to
the blockade question, that the blockade is a
right of war, but by what right, whether Of
war or peace can congress empower the eX
ecutive TO desist from the blockade and sub
stitute the levyng of fiscal duties on goods
about to be landed in territories where tina:
executive can afford no protection to them
from further execution or speculation IN any
shape.
The Shipping Gazette complains that the
blockadng squadron on the coast OF America
appears de ter,nined to interrupt marine COM
merce in defiance of the best understood max
inns of international law, and at the risk of
collision with the forces OF a maritime power.
The London Post, in an editorial on the
blockade question, says If unfortunately,
England should be compelled to DRIFT into the
quarrel, the blame will not rest with England,
but with a government which has endeavored
to accomplish tine ruin of innocent commerce
m order to enforce the validity OF blockade
whiclfit is manitestly incompetent to main
tain.
The Times of the 10th, remarks that the
Americans of the north even take pleasure in
the sensation caused by their recent unparal-
leled defeat. Another letter from Mr.. Russell
says that he having acquired further intorma-
ton respecting the fight, has come to the iol-
lowing conclusion -
"There was not a bayonet charge made by
the federal infantry during the day. There
was not a charge OF any kind made by the con
federate cavalry upon any regiment OF the
enemy until they broke. There was not
hand to hand encounter between any regi.
ments, not battery charged or taken by the
tederalists There were 10 masked batteries
in play by the cOniederates. There was no
annihilation of rebel horse by the Zouaves, or
others. A volley fired by one battalion, emp.
tied three saddles among body OF horse who
approached at some distance, and the infantry
which per formed the execution then retired,
and there were no. desperate struggles, except
by those who wanted to get away"
He then alludes to the approach of the on
federates towards Washington. He says the
Uuionists troops were complaining of nothing
having been paid them, and that about 10000
three months men had left or were about eav
ing.
The Daily News warmly defends the north
ern army from malignant attacks on account
Of the retreat from Manassas, and the esti
mates formed of the hurried flight OF mere
panic stricken mob OF camp followers, and eu-
logizes the gallantry of the Union troops. In
the same article the News says the aim Of the
south is to extend and perpetuate slavery.
Barnaloshome, member OF parliament, in
speech to his constituents said he believed the
American quarrel more attributable to the
Morrill, tariff than to the slave. He hoped
reaction would take place in England If
Worcestershire was pinched there would be
great distress, and he could not foresee to
what issue this unfortunate fratricdal strus
gle would ultimately end. England's only
course was to calmly await the result, aud
abide by the policy of non Intervention.
