EARL RussELL's REPLY.

Foreign Office, Aug. "a, lS6l.-The un-
drrsigned has had the honor TO receive the
letter II the I4Ih inst, addressed to him BY
Messrs. Yancey, Rost and Mann, on behalf
Of the so stYled Confederate States of North
America.
The British Government do not pretend
in any wat 10 pronounce judgment upon
the questions 10 debate between the United
States and their adyersaries in North Amer
ica the British Government can only regret
that these differences have unfortunately
been submitted to the arbitrament Of arms.
Her Majesty has considered this contest as
constituting civil war, and her Majesty has,
by her royal proclamation, declared her in
,entipn 10 preserve a strict neutrality be-
tween the coutending parties IN that war.
Her Majesty will strictly perform the du-
ties which belong 10 neutral. Her Majes-
~ cannot undertake TO determine by antici-
patton What may be the issue Of the contest,
nor can she acknowledge the independence
Of the nine States which are now combined
against the President and Congress Of the
United states, until the fortune Of arms or
the mnrc peaceful mode Of negotiation shall
have more clearly determined the respective
positions Of the two belligerents.
Her Majesty can. in the meantime, only
express hope that some adjustment salts
factory 10 both parties may be come 70.
without the calamities which must ensue in
the event uf an emblttered and protracied
conflict.

The Soldiers Vote"Iowa and
PENNSYLVANIA.

The Supreme Court of Pennsyl-
vania, a majority of hich is Re-
publican, has decided on the
Philadelphia contested election
case that the soldiers vote is ille-
gal BY this decision Mr.. Ewing,
the Democratic Sheriff Of Phila::
delphia, loses his office, and Mr..
Thompson, his Republican COM
.petitor, obtains it. Ewing was
elected by the soldiers vote.
There has been, no doubt, a
great deal of fraud perpetrated
under the law authorizing SOL
diers to vote in some States. This
is the case in Iowa. Read the
accounts of which we publish
or the first page Of to-day's En-
quirer.
There is no fair expression of
the soldiers An election won in
that manner can not be consider
ed legal. 1t will be the duty of
the next House of Representa-.
tives to look into that Iowa SOL
iiers' vote, and if they discover it
fraudulent or illegal, to follow
the example set by the kepubli-
can Supreme Court in Pennsyl-
vania. Gin Eng,
