Of course, be unbounded. II in treating Of American

Lords nor out of regard fer any real or supposed
English interest. 1t simply executed the orders Of

Times during the past week, we may, therefore,
infer that Lord PalmsTston s about TO 'scede from
the extremely hostile attitude be had assumed I'LL
now against the United States. m Of its to-day
Leaders, Tie Times, which Tor months lad ex-
alted the aggressive powers of tho SecessOnst5 aud
expatsted upon the inability Of the United States to
cope with them, feels quite sure of the military
superiority Of the North. That ths change Of tone
is dictated by the master, becomes quite evident
from the circumstance that other influential papers,
known to be connected with Palmerssoa, nave
simultaneously veered round. Que Of them, The
Economist, gives rather broad hiEt 10 the public
opmion-mougsrs that the time has conc for " care
