A AREMoNs7RANCEFR FROM THE THUNDERER.
The London Times of Jnue eth expostulatea
United States, deprecating the attitude as.
snmed By them towards England for her con-
nivanee at the rebellion Of our shareholders.
TIE give the editorial IN full:
"Surely We have some reason to expostu-
late with our knsmen acroEs the Atlantic for
the trueulent tone they have assumed towards
this country. What have we done? How
have We mlsbehaVed ourselves? 7: Why ara we
to be sco1ded and threatened and warned !?
Wherefore this attack? At tlrst few Drop
ping shots Bplashed with some violence In our
own columns, then Volley WAS suddenly dis.
eharged ut us from the Louvre hotel In Paris,
and now comes q complete salvo Of shctted
guns from all the. Northern press. England
is to be mnde Wat upon II she should but
move q finger. Federal America II to join
with France and destroy us f. VIC shsu1d but
east shadow of.a ship upon the waters Of the
South.
.tt'n England persists In regarding the prlya-
tee1s Of the South as merely helltgerents, It
would seem that in such case the North will
be inclined to consider this as " "1nanuesting
an irsane disposition to give aid or comfort to
the rebel states;" and u such case they say

thunderbolts of var That would not cease
till every power In Europe is involved" !"

tafnly is remarkable that the three most des-
potfc European powers, Prussia, Austria aud
Russia, have hastened to express their sympa.
thy with our internal trouh1es;n in Q amoment
Of tranquility we should have deprecated the
suggestion that Russia has evidently well
remembered the American sympathIes shown
to her during the Crinssn 1war;'. but now,
when the hand Of afliction Is heavy upon this
great nation, which sprang from our loins and
Rlorited us BY its strength, We would 1nther
suffer ZONE w1oDg than handy words Of prov
ocation:. We would only ask what is our
offence e?-what have We done to deserve this
fierce iryectfye7
$50 far rs We can judge at present It Is we
only who have causes Of complaint, If We
choose to urge them. An the Northern news-
papers have been trumpeting forth two facts
which, # true, are certainly not creditable to
our professions Of neutrality. It Is said that
the Canadians have given aregfment to the
York has supplied rifle corps Of Eng.ishmen
to fight the battle Of the Union. II the gen
nemen at Washington will remember their
own conduct some time since, when IN ioiu-
dicious attempt was made to obtain few
score oftroops In the United States for war
against q despotic and encroaching power--if
they will call to mind how hardly they bore
upon us In that moment Of our embarzass-
meDt and how severely they insisted upon the
full punishment Of the fault committed b7
one Of our subordinates, they will then, we
think, see how much more friendly and con.
eiderate has been our silence under 80 serious
breach oflnternational law. We have heard
ror Of any proclamation to these mcrcenaries.
Like all men who shed blood in cause with
which they have no natural connection, espe-
c1ally when they take that stronger aud richer
side to which extraneous aid Is not of abso-
lutte necessity, these foreign 1egfons find no
are likely to receive more maledictions than
blessings from home; but we have prose
cuted no American Consul In the courts Of
Canada, and We have threatened to send away
no American Minister from London. When
ne were ct war with Russia, America supplied
our enemy with war steamers so SYSTEMATICALLY
that one Of them, In which the Russian
Plenipotentiary lately disported himself in
the China seas, Wes ramed the FAmerica'
Now If We had been inclined to follow such
m example, ne might, very likely, have got
agood price Tor fleet Of Steamers from the
suthern CoDfederacy, and might have found
such occupation for the Northern navy that
there would have been no danger Of cotton
famine in Lancashire. AL this We might have
done, and much more, and If we had done 1t
ne might have provoked some such language
OF menace ss that now held, although We could
not even then have been accused Of doing
more than returning evil for evil But VIC, OF
hpH.e 1F+ %k,5,r
We have returned good for evil. We have not
only made forma! proclamations against all
interference in this melancholy conflict, but
We have addressed ourselves In good faith and
with hearty good will to the prevention Of

British flag flies shall give shelter to the

Or shall aiC them to dispose Of their prizes or

If we could heal 1t by word, that word would
be spoken with entire unantmity throughout
these islands; but as We do not hope that this

ANOTHER ENGLISH RELoNSTRAECE.

tone upon the subject OF our American dis

ment- The Star, it will be remembered. Is
the organ Of the Liberals, who, until lately,
haFe taken views, siDgularly inconsistent with
their name, of the rights and privileges of our
slave rebellion. The Star holds the following
langnage:
