The Position of England.

The New York World shows that England In,

claims:
All this being true, what had we right to ex
pect from England but sympathy and moral aid! And
what do we get AFTER internible calculations about
cotton, we have the British government coOlly in
ssting that the present putting down of rebellion il

we have grave determination that the rebellious
States shall be treated belligerents; we have a
captous and unjust Interpretation of the attitude OF
this government on the subject of prTateering; we
have Civilizations over the supposed Impending fail.

of English ships fitted out to hover around our
coast and watch our blockade.

There is no principle whatever in the contest
only mere sectional struggle for ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Lord JOHN RUSSELL says:
Even if the Southern States should be consider
ed to be in the condition of rebels, it is in the &C.
cordance with the law of nations that we should
recognize their authority to place cruisers upon the
high seas"
Losing sight of the wide human interest involved
in our great crisis several papers also seize the op
portunIty to vent old Spite The Dublin NeuS sug-
gests:
THE blockade may lead to a collision with the
United States ships of war, and very probably John
Bull may not be unwilling to seize the present OPP
portunity of wping off old scores.n
The Westminster ReUeip reminds it readers:
1.-The outrage at Greytown, and the insult At San
Juan, are still fresh in our memories
The Edi1lgbtrg echoes the sentiment, though E1ore
moderately, and, anticipating the success Of the
rebels hopes that:
'The seVering of the Union into two parts will
beget in both of them stronger sense of the obli>
cations of international law and greater respect
for their neghbors" y!
The London Morning Herald comes out openly,
and with refreshing disregard of all cant about
abolition, declares:
If cotton is not to be got by fair means we
must not scruple to use foul means, or the daily
bread of four or five millions of the working popu-
lation will be stopped" %. -

These calculations are all from official sources.
Thus it appears that if the existing war were to
cost the South one hundred millions of dollars per
annum. il would not amount TO one half the sum Of
which the South has been annually plundered by
the North; an amount which probably not one MAJ
in ten thousand at the Southhas ever even thought
Of and all of which will be preserved to the South
by thu existing war.
IF (ssys Mr.. KettelD we take the aggregate of
these items, for ten years only, the result is the
enormous sum of two billions, three hundred and
fifteen millions, and allowing twenty per cent of
the sum only the aggregate of the fifty previous
years the amount is two thousand seven hundred
and seventy millions of dollars earned at the South
and added to Northern accumulation.
anybody is at loss to explain why the North is
waging the present war, we can tell them: 1t is
not for the Union, the Constitution the laws, nor
the star-spangled banner, but the sum of money
contained in the above items:
