Wilmer & SIN this European Times Of the
18th October gives the latest reports as fol-
lows:
Great importance was attached to the
meeting Of the Cabinet on Thursday. Mem
bers from all parts Of the cou ntry, even from
the con tinent, hurried to London. All tn Q
Ministers were in the metropolis bnt tn g
Premier, and he did not think it necessary
to leave his snug quarters in HAMPSHIRE
In the course of the morning, notice was
sent to each Cabinet Minister that the meet
ing was postponed. and conjecture has been
busy ever since to account for act so un-
usual.
According to one version split exists on
the American question, arising out of the
conflicting views put forth by Mr.. Gladstone
and Sir G.. G. Lewis; according to another
and more probable surmise, there is perfect
unaDimity, and THE DIFFERENTIATION RE
sPECTISG AFFAIRS IN AMERICA Is TO LET
THINGS RUN THEIR COURSE. Mr.. Gladstone
has been at some pains to explain that in
/ his now celebrated declaration that Jefferson
/ Davis and his colleagues had made nation
he did not contemplate recognition in the
sense inferred By MANY persons, and that the
future mus. DO Judged of by events as yet
undeveloped.
Why, then, was the Cabinet SUNNI oned at
this unusual time of the year, if the una
n;mity was perfect, and why was the m eet-
ing postponed within few hours Of assem-
bling? A solution to these questions has
been found in rumor that has found its
way into print. and which has at least
shade of probability to sustain it. Cabinet
secrets are very well kept. but they do
sometimes ooze out, no matter how or why.
The assumption in the present instance is,
that though the question of recognizing the
! he cir ,sta of .
contest was never entertained, yet a middle
course had been pointed out-that of sug-
costing to the belligerents a six months
armistice, which, if accepted, would stop the
present horrible butchery, and enable the
parties TO review the situation in a way like
ly to lead to peace or to compromise. The
thought was ingenious, and in the interest of
humanity, credtable, but when the PROPOSE
tion was looked at in every point of view, it
was found untepable.
In matter Of deep importance like this,
some previous consideration, before the Cab
met met, was no doubt deemed desirable.
more especially as Lord Lyons was on the
point of returning to Washington, but he is
not, it now appears, to be the bearer of any
definite policy on the part of the English
government. lie knows exactly what the
sentiments of its leading members are, and
those sentiments we presume, from the
course which has been taken, are exactly
those put forth by Sir George Cornewall
Lewis, whether in opposition 10 Mr.. Glad
stone or with his concurrence, matters not,
so long as there is no outward or visible sign
of disunion.
AS Lord Lyons arrival in America will be
contemporaneous with the announcement in
Washington that the Cabinet meeting which
was to have been held in Londan on Thurs
day was held, the Federal Government, and
indeed the entire North, will have no diff
Guilty in arriving at the conclusion that
England, throughout this unhappy contest,
is determined to preserve her attitude of
strict neutrality. The prolongation of what
many now deem hopeless contest on the
part of the North is deeply to be regretted,
but the feeling of the Government with re-
spect to neutrality is the feeling ofthe coun-
try, and will be maintained, according TO
present appearances, to the end.
PRoPHEsY OF GEN. JAoKsoN-Said the
old hero to frie nd at the Hermitage, short
time before his death:
"The abolition party Is diszoyaz organi-
cation. Its prete nded love of free dom
means nothing more or less than civil war
and dissolution of the Union. Honest men
of all parties should unite to expose their
in.en'ious anu arrest tueir progress
Time has proven that the old vetran knew
pretty nearly what he was talking about.
The ELECTION IN MIcHIGAN.-Baldwin,
Democrat, was elected in the Fifth Con-
sressional district. Sixth district in doubt. !
The Michigan Legislature will stand about
thus: Senate seventeen Republicans. fifteen
Democrats-House, fifty. eight Republicans,
