The Paris correspondent Of the London
Post ministerial, writes that though Sill
dell and Mason had not received their re-
CALL Slidell was expecting il and both he
and Mason had come to the conclusion
that their mission could do no good. In
Paris Mr.. Sldell had not held any COM
munication with the French Government
The Cabinet of the Tuilleries, from the
first, has harmonized its policy with that
of the Cabinet of st. James, and both had
long since come to the conclusion that
it is for the contending parties to invite
i,seuTaIIon II required, and not for Eng
land and France to offer mediation, how
ever much they may desire to see this
war brought to an end. To recognize the
South would be TO interfere; to depart
from that neutrality which is the policy
Of England and France toward the Uni
ted States.
Il was hoped and believed that some
event of the war might, before this, have
brought about an armistice, and that both
North and South would have called in
foreign powers, with view to reconcile
alton. But as the war goes on, the con-
tending camps become less men and more
inhuman The latest dispatches which
reached the Government of this country
do not hold out any alternative for close
of the war, but the exhaustion Of both
North and South and as the resources
of the North are known to be more ex-
tensive than those of the South, suppo-
sition on the spot gives the final victory
TO the North.
LOYALTY OF THE BRITISH wORKINGMEN.
Staley bridge is one of those second
class interior towns of England's manu-
featuring districts, where the lives and
souls of some fifteen thousand people
depend upon the spinning of cotton. To
say they must have suffered greatly
these fifteen thousand, from the with
drawal of American raw material, is
needless. But Staleybridge, either be-
cause its mill-owners have declined to
adapt their machinery to India cotton,
or because no time at all has been pre-
ferred by them TO half time, has suf-
ferred acutely from the war, and the APP
peals of its people for relief have rent
the hearts of all England, The sorrows
of Staleybridge have been only degree |
less poignant than those of Blackburn. |
A public meeting was accordingly |
called on the LIST install Staley bridge gto |
consider the necessity of petitioning her
Majesty the Queen TO take immediate
for the recognition of the
Confederate States of America" Thou
sands came. The largest hall in the
town was much more than filed, that as
many gathered without as were crowded
within The multitude is described as
almost entirely composed of working
men," The Mayor presided, and theye
calling for the immediate recognition of
the Southern Confederacy, and gentle
man TO second it, and> a gentleman TO
make speeches in behalf of it, After
some discussion, however, an amend
ment was presented and carried with
cheers, and something so near unanimity
as TO be reported as a hundred to one,
that in the opinion of the meeting, the
distress prevailing in the manufacturing
districts is mainly owing 10 the rebellion
of the Southern States against the Amer
lean Constitution" and that recognition
was not to be thought Of AS at Black
burn, so here; the capitalists desired to
inveigle working men into sympathy
with the oppressors Of labor, and were
defeated.
