pean Powers to arrest the natural course OF
events will only tend to increase the conflict
and to extend the area Of hostiities
We have no doubt that the above description
Of this document is a correct one It only re.
iterates, though perhaps in more direct and
positive terms, the sentiments expressed BY the
Secretary OF State in his former communities
tione to the European courts. AS the despatch
was forwarded to our Ministers some time about
the beginning OF September, il accounts for the
sudden cooling down Of the Intervention fever
which had again begun to manifest such viru-
lent symptoms in England. TO it we are no
doubt indebted for the haste with which
the English Secretary at War, Sir G. G.
Lewis, proceeded TO correct the impressions
conveyed by the secession speech Of his col
league, hlr. Gladstone, at Newcastle and which
threw the tory press Of England into such costa
cies. 1t probably also had its effect in determin-
ing the policy of Louis Napoleon on the Roman
question, by confirming the influence gained
over him during his retirement at Biarritz by
the clerical party, aided by the Empress He
would never have decided on maintaining the
stata quo in the Pope's territories if he had not
been convinced by Mr.. Sewards circular that
any attempt at interference in this country
would involve him in long and exha,lsting
war with us. To keep down the revolutionary
efforts which his continued occupation of Rome
must provoke, and to wage hostilitics at dis
tance of three thousand miles with deter
mined and energetic people like ours, is pros
pect that even bis adventurous spirit shrinks
from.
If, then. as there is every reason to believe,
the intentions of England and France in our re-
gard have undergone total change, it is the
firm and decided policy Of Mr.. Seward, under
the direction of our patriotic President, that has
brought it about. The European governments
have been made to feel that this is life and
death struggle with us, and that we are pre-
pared to make any sacrifices, no matter how
great rather than consent to disruption Of the
Union. Had the other members OF the admins
tration fulfilled their duties with one tithe Of
the energy, ability and patriotism with which
Mr.. Seward has discharged his, we would not
now have occasion to discuss the influences that
shape the course of those governments in regard
to our existing difficulties.
