the Americans on the course Of the civil war.
Gloss it over as they might, it threatened fatal
results to the character of the American peO
pie.
The diplomatic correspondence relative to
the Emily st. Pierre is lengthy. Mr.. Adams
contends that the ship and cargo were contis-
Gated, and demands their restoration. Earl
Russell employed legal arguments against
this, contending that Capt. Williams course
could only be dealt with in prize courts of the
captors. Mr.. Adams rSjoined, and contended
that the claim for restoration of the ship
rested on the soundest principles of law and
equity. America expected a far different de-
cision, and made wise by the result, will take
precaution III future to better protect itself
Earl Russell endeavored to convince Mr.
Adams that the English government had no
power in the matter, but the latter closed by
saying that arguments had not materially

most indefinite postponement Of peace.
In the lords, Lord Brougham deplored the
continuance Of the civil strife, and its conse-
quences to Europe. He thought it impossible
for England to interfere, but expressed a hope
that the Americans would see the suicidal
character of the struggle, and come to an am
icable arrangement before they entirely lose
the respect of Europe as a nation.
In the commons, Mr.. Hope asked if gov
eminent intended to take steps to mediate
Lord Palmerston expressed deep sympathy
with the suffering operatives, and eulogized
their endurance. He wished it was In the

their relief; but interference in American af
fairs would only aggravate matters. Both

take mediatory steps when the fitting oppor
tunity arrives.
