ment is gradually changing from its original par
TALLY for the rebel States. The Government is yet

not open in its hostility as it was before the arri-
val OF Mr., Adams, whose letters leave no room to
doubt that the Ministry had once determined upon
recognizing the Southern Confederacy, and they
were endeavoring to precpitate such action before
the arrival of our new Minister.
In the interview which Mr.. Adams had with Lord
John Russell the former very distinctly expressed
the belief that the British Government had such a
purpose and charged the British Ministry with a
want of common diplomatic courtesy in attempting
to decide on so vital question before aOrdiDg an
opportunity to the Adm nStration of explaining the
position in which the Government of the country
PLACED. the object of the rebels and the power
of the Government to suppress the rebellion.

British Minister the injustice of recognizing the
bells, and TO warn him that this Government would
not permit the interference of any for ign govern
ment to prevent the subjugaon of the rebel States
of the Union.
