II portion OF the manufacturing interests
Of England require an uninterrupted supply Of
cotton, they require equally as we'll, disposal
of their manufactured articles But England
Is not wholly engaged ia the manufacture Of
cotton goods In fact, this branch of her
manufacture is but small compared with other
branches Of her manufacture, and as the a.
mount produced exceeds the home demand, it
must be exported. America forns the great
reservoir that swallows up the surplus Of Eng
lanes manufacture, giving in exchange therefor,
her breadstulfs and her money And as Eng
land is largely devoted TO manufacture, her soil
does not produce sufficient of the former for
home consumption. America has a surplus for
which England gladly exchanges her manufac.
tured goods. Now as the breadstufs come
from the north and as it is the north only that
can make the change Odvontageously TO Eng
land, England cannot well engage in a war a
ganst the north or adopt policy which will
bring this exchange to an end.
But the most weighty argument Of all, is ths
almost certain course France would pursue j
England should adopt such policy. Already
are the eyes Of all England turned with suspi
cion aud misgiving upon the gigantic prepara
ton which France has been making for somt
grand expedition, which, on account Of its be
ing unknown to her, only adds a terror TO sus
picion England has cause to fear France Sc
long as a Napoleon is on the throne, and vel
does she know that she deserves retrSution al
the hands of the French for her treatment oil
their idOzed emperor Napoleon the first. The
victory in which she participated at Waterloo
was in one sense a glorious one, but 10 view oil
the growing Importance of the French nation
the present incumbent of its throne, and It's
ponderous but highly trained and effective
army, England remembers it with misgving
Already the English press turns its eye towards
the army Of Napoleon the third, aud inquiries
"Whnt can it meaD unless it be to invade Eng.
land and retrieve the defeat at Waterloo" The
fact that there is another navy even more nu-
merous and effective than her own, that she is
now no longer the lord of the sea, is in itself
sufficient to cause England to deliberate careful
ly before she adopts any course which will be
sure to bring down upon her the colossal arm
Of France. But when this is coupled with the
other considerations which have mentioned
it is perfectly plain that England cannot parti.
cipate in the present struggle without jeopardi.
zing her best interests. Even at best she would
have to engage in war with two of the most
powerful nations on the globe at the same time,
which from their situation aud her own acknowl.
edged incomptency, is not to be expected. 1t
becomes evident then, that the SoutherD Con-
federacy will not be recognized by England un-
til it has proved Itself capable of sustaining its
position. O. C. P.
