The late news from America is causing
a very painful excitement here, where
the war is looked upon as q terrible mis-
fortune, and the battles are regarded as a
deplorable loss Of life that might have
been expended in another cause with
greater profit TO human freedom. There
does not appear TO be any strong parti
zanship in favor Of either the North OF
the South among our people; but all
wish the war was ended, and that fight

land. AS for the idea Of an armed
interference by England to stop the
civil war,--an idea that exasperates some

going on in America is delightful IA

doing. She is only too happy TO see the
] North and South tearing each other Il
: pieces--if q word of hers could stop the
! process Of devastation, beggary, and
bloodshed, she would not utter il.
