England mus. have Cotton.

From the London correspondence may 1871
of the New York Herald, we make the sab.
joined extract, merely to show the views thai
are now enforced upon the Northern mind
The object of the writer is to urge upon the
mercenary Yankees the necessity of a vigor-
ous prosecu jon of the war, or total annihila-
ticn inevitably awaits them. A more blood.
thirsty composition 1t is almost impossible to
conceive of yet it may be there is some sar-
casm in its conclusions, after all:
The Queens proclamation has been issued,
and in entire good faith all loyal subjects Of
her Majesty are enloined not TO join either Of
the beliigereuts, and they are assured if they
do so their Government will not interfere in
their behalf in the event of their vessels be-
ing captured or themselves made prisoners
So far so good.
Ifthe war is protraeted even a twelve
mon tin and the crop of cotton put in jeopardy
or greatly curtaiied, there Will be walIing In
Lancashire. Several Englishmsn of position
have told me that they belle yed il the supply
was one million bales short of the average, It
would produce such distress and lead to such
u eonvulsion in Manchester that the very ex-
istence OF the British empire and the throne
itself would be in danger. This Is probably
an exaggeration, but "A scant supply OF cotton
will make a financial crisis and period OF
distress and starvation that would require
vast Government aid, or there would be an
iusurrec tion OF a revolution.
TIE avert that, this Government are going to
do every thing possible to throw obstacles in
the way of President Lincoln; In other words,
| to force your Government to stop hostihties.
| You have seen the papers here up to this
| time, and how they have dealt in " bosh,
| and weak arguments against coercion :
| and, in fact, encourage the South in their re-
belion.
| You may be perfectly certain that Great
| Britain will follow up the proclama ton and
| the discussions in Parliament by every possi-
| BILE species of inference, and if nothing else
will suffice, find pretext TO declare pdr
| against the United States, to force them to
| ab andon their present ground, and acknow-
ledge the independence of the South. Cotton
| must be had at all hazards. And in the de-
| sire to sustain the South, and to break the
| Union, this Government will be seconded by
| France, who burns to obtain some foothold
| and interest il North America and the West
| Indies.
Schemes are now on foot to get financial
| aid TO the South, though with very slim pros
! poets of success. i believe this Government,
| if there We're any possible chance of doing it,
| would to-day advance ten millions to the
Sou thern Confederacy. if by so doing they
could see their way clear to either separa-
( tion of the Union, close of the war, or u full
| supply of cotton for the next two years.
| Now, you may mark my words, and you
| will find them true, Just as certain as the sun
continues to shine on you if Mr.. Lincoln s
Government, sus tanned as it Is by the twenty
millions of Northern people, does not make a
| forced march right through secession within
| four or five months, completely regardless OF
| climate, season and all other circumstances,
then John Bull will have a finger in the pie,
and the trenchman. too, and you will have
| three wars ON your hands instead of one.
| A Napoleonic stroke-a campaign like that
| which eliminated at Marengo-a sudden
| striking into the heart of the enemy's coun-
| try-is the only mode you have got to con-
| quer peace and keep out foreign interfer.
| ence.

| every national quarrel in Europe for hun
| dreds of years, and now that the United

| be begun on that side. L greatly hope l an
| mistaken in my surmises, and would be lotf
| to say one word TO encourage the South in thu
belief that they are to receive aid and asss anct
| from this side but there is Il fixed and full de
