EARL EUssELL's SPEECH ON ENGLANDs POLICY IN

TIE WAR.
from the London Times, Oct III
The conclusion Lord Russell draws Is the only obscure
part OF his speech. That conclusion is that il il the
duty OF TINS country to see whether this sangunay con-
test cannot be put an end TO- IL cannot be duty to
do anything impossible, and presume, therefore, lord
Russeu must by ohich England may hope
dudtn this OBJECT What those means cannot
guess. We have no right wish, perhaps no power to
nterpose force; and, as for persuasion, We seem to
have every reason for thinking that is the very
last voice TO which America would listen. STILL
these words were probably not spoken at random,
and we are sure the whole country will agree with
Lord Russell that, II 1t is in our power TO put
an end to tho civil war in America we ought Ger
tanly TO do so, though believe there are Just as
many who will entirely withhold their belief from
the superstition Lord Russell may expect with the
perfect confidence tho verdict Of posterty as to the in
ternal changes in the direction Of ole alton liberty and
freedom OF commerce which he had large share in
Introducing His foreign policy commands the approba
ton OF his contemporaries but II is possible that in u
ture times its reputation may suffer by application to
it of his principles. Why shond the iaissez faiye
policy-the doctrine of tho abstinence Of government
from any interference with Its subects-be restricted
merely to that relation and not extended the relations
between government and government That our govern
ment should act for the purpose OF obtaining for
foreign countries is considered highly
May not The time come when IL will be considered still
more crcditabc Tor government to mind its bss
ness, leaving its neighbors to manage theirs as they

The Attorney General observed In his spcech-Sir vii
liam next referred TO the subject of the foreign policy
the words employed by Earl Russell at tho banquet in
Newcastle On the previous evening With reference to the
American war Earl Russell had observed that nothing but
mischief would appear to be possible from continuance
of that war; The sword did not bind IL sundercd aud
II seemed to tic next to impossible to imagine that in
the event of or the other of those states being

consequence which should either resemble tho original
Union or which should have in itself either tho elements
OF advantage or durability II must be the wish of every
one that that unfortunate struggle might early
close and that boodshed in those countries might cease
B hat struggle hat an aspect rather important 10 US il,
It's 6d'7ng uIon The and industry especially If tie

without hazardng any prediction to look this grea, evil
full in the face and to consider the possibilities Of the
coming winter without great aar-at least anxiety II
was to be hoped however, that overriding Providence
might bring about events the circumstances of which W.
were at present unable TO discern or predict.

10 enter port contrary to proclamation Of which they
may not have heard or if they did which was unsut

Charleston, Wilmington and Beaufort are 10 be under
blockade and not under blockade tho same time and
at the caprice Of the federal or OF those who
do their bidding, England may well at once reverse
her policy and acknowledge once the validity Of
paper biockades.
