4 News OF the Battle Of Bull Run was
received on Sunday. the 4th, and caused
lIa profound sensation. Northern Amer.
cans were much depressed, and the South.
erners correspondingly elated. There was
, almost collision in the Liverpool News,
room. Mr.. Russeli's letter to tho Times
was conired to graphic details Of the
rout of the Northern Army. He calls II
q cowsrdly rout-a miserable, causelesa
1 pafiic, and disgracefnl to men in uniform
/ not soldiers. 81 - '''''g'
i The Times, editorially, says the victory
i was q complete one. The Union army
j lost all their military honor, and wishes i,
could find something to congratulate either
victors or vsnquished, bat says nothing
but what must stimulate the evil passions
of both combstsnts.
I The Daily News denounces the Times
criticism, but says nothing happened which
was not anticipated as possible.
j All Journals think the event has closed
!, the door to compromise, and must embit.
|, ter aud prolong the struggle.
, A Paris letter says that the success oi
the Southerners powerfully operated on
the Parisisn opinion in favor Of the Sc
cessionists.
On the last day Of the session Of Par.
| lament Lord Palmerston expressed bis
, views. and said II the blockading feet
!; should allow any vessel TO enter any
, blockaded port on paying dulles, ffuHo
that moment the blockade was raised. 4
, belligerent may seal up port. but when
be let's single vessel in, his right ID

Parliament closed on the 9Th. The
Queens speech was read. It says our
foreign relations are friendly and satisfac
. tory, and trusts there is no danger of the
: peace Of Europe. She has determined
, in common with the other powers Of Eu'
/ rope. to observe . strict neutrality be-
. tween the contendiug parties. g
