PABIs, Friday, Oct. Is, lS6I.-If we Ensy Judge oi
the feeling agaiuss the North among the commercial
people Of England, BY that manifested bv the Eng

terrible indeed. No SANDER is too absurd TO be
told, none too gross TO be believed Whether from,
commercial rivalry, from the menacing growth. or
irom what they call the impertneuce of the Yankee
race we seem to have friends left in this parties
ular elsss of the Esglish people. Not that they
love the South or slavery but they are furious at
the idea that the North should even attempt to avert
the threatened rupture of the great Republic and
VII De stll more furious il the North be successful
Inc doctrine Of free trade which ENGLAND ia forcin
on all Europe and which she has failed To force on
the United states, has turned away the sympathies
OF the commercial classes from the race TO which
they are aled by blood and directed them into nav
and strange channels The Morrill, tariff falling
upon EngLsh commerce at moment when France
was opening her ports 10 the same commerce foru-
ed contrast too striking for even E0glish tsnacity
anc to-day We see the unnatural and unusual spec-
taele OF Frenchmen and Englishmen joining in
common depreciation ef America and her institu-
tions.
Among the least apocryphaI of the stories which
are repeated here IN English and French CONNER
cla circles Is one to the effect that the Southern
COniederaey has sold to Eagish SPECTATORS at
price so low, for cash in advance as to render the
RISK not TOO great, the cotton the Confederacy now
holds IN It hands, and which is to be handed over
to the English owners Of it through the first port
Wnlch the national navy opens. The Southern Con-
federaey thus hopes to obtain money to carry on |
the war indefinitely it remains to be seen wheth>
er the National Government viii overlook such /
fraudulent operation
1t ls reported that in the long report which
Prince Napoleon has made to the Emperor and bis
cabinet on American affairs the Prince while shoW
ing throughout strong sympathy for the North
snu tne cause OF the Union yet expresses ths Opi0

that sooner Or later The separation must be rscoqaE

peror Of what be considered to be the chances Of
success of the South The fact is now notoriouz

nat the government journals have become more
