sS~ With the exception of some heavy fir
lug between the outposts of both armies there
was no fighting on the Rappahanuock Mon
day. Everything was quiet, aud the terrible
conflict of Saturday is not yet renewed. Our
troops were busy removing the wounded to
the river side, lest the enemy should shell tue
city when the battle is renewed The rebels,
meantime, are actively engaged strengthening
their defences. At one time Oh Monday thew
made feint to attack Gen. Franklin's forces
but did not accomplish it,
Beyond this slight demonstration there was
no evidence of design to renew the contest
The weather continued clear and salubrious
aud the roads were again in fine condition
Since our army crossed the river they have
captured fully seven hundred prisoners-srag-
glers in the city, sharpshooters on the river
Uauk, and others taken in front of the works.

that question from all prominence in England as soon
as it bad produced its destined fruits n the division
and civil war in America, TOO significant to have
escaped the observation Of calm and dspassonate spec
tators. The only solution of Epgsh policy afforded
by her course during the present that she desires
equally the destruction of North snd South SO that she
may make The world dependent upon the cotton pro-
duetion of India for its supplies No other theory has
been suggested which at all explains aud harmonizes
the whole pGicy OF Great Britain in peace and war;
wards the American States
The supreme malevoience OF such counsel is no argu
ment against tbeixsterce for nations know no con-
science no principles no humanity, law of any kind
but their own Interests A this moment the British
Government beholds, upmoved, the terrible distress
among lis oWn manufacturers and it permit its
Owl people to suffer thus for the purpose OF working
cut the ultimate independence of Great Britain in the
production of cotton, cannot wonder that she is su
premey Indifferent to the distress of strangers These
remarks apply exclusively to the Government, and not
to the people, who, in general, sympethze with the
Southern cause and if their voice could be heard would
recognize the South tomorrow. With or without re-
cogaition however, independents is equally certain

The Policy CT England.

AS the war drags its slow length along, the British
overnmen avails itself OF every suitable occasion to
reiterae in terms explicit and emphatic to admit
of rsconstruction its positive determination not to D
ter7ene in American affairs. 1t strikes US that the
British Government might save breath and time by
saying nothing that subject. II its object is
TO dispe from the South the false hopes it entertained
on that subject may rest satisfied that the South has
long ago ceased to look for foreign intervention. ana
has learned not to put its trust 10 princes. Nor Is this
all The South, from its experience OF war, might
be disposed not much to censure Great Britain for
avoiding dire alternative which has already entailei
upor Ter an enormous national debt and national and n.
divdua distress beyond computation. But ii has be-
como painfully evident to rejecting men in the South
that the policy of Great Britain 10 this contest is i'm
partial not 80 much in friendship as in enmity that it
seeks with equal regards the mutual destruction Of
North and South ard that it refuses to interfere in this
waf simply because the is the very hing which
she has been aborng to bring about for The last thirty
years. and because peace in America is just what she
does not want till both parties are so worn out and
