FOREIGN SENTIMENT ON AMERICAN

I
lean quarrel and as a consequence European
politicians are moro carefully considering
their own duty, and coming to wiser oonclu.
sions than have sometimes been apprehended
In speaking Of tho blockade. the London
Post, which is the organ Of the British Cabi
net, says
" n the bl,ctadc be Intellectual, neutral commerc,
VIII co'naruisel suffer little injury; if ciieciual tb'
Fri principles Of Jl5ho aw tef rs Net We must obet
rM good grace, however dsagrecabc the rcs,ri,t,r
may be Tor one great staple Of British industry and Brit
ish wealth"
That is, vessels Of all nations will run in
and out Of southern ports, unless the block
ade is effectual to prevent il. This implies
no interference with the blockade by force
but otherwise, entire respect to il by foreign
governments. If it is broken, it will be
through the neglect of our hlockading ships,
or the ingenuity and good luck Of the masters
of merchant ships who run it successfully.
Lord Derby, the leader of the opposition

The London Times C. The Thundercr.") OF
August II, indicates that it has At last ar
rived at the opinion which has been aeld by
Northern statesmen in this country for some
months to wit, that the continuance Of the
war another year (long enough to break up
the cotton crop,) will destroy the cotton
monopoly Of the South, and ruin slavery
or course the inference is that Great Britain
is not to interfere to preserve the cotton
trade in America. Indeed the Times saws
that Z" national predictions or political ia.

the fate Of American eottonocracy is 70 be

furnish cotton at the cheapest rate, aud with
the " greatest regularity" (the blackade will
prevent that she will lose the British mar
