EARL RUSSELL TO Mr.. SEWARD.

FOREIGN OFFICE, LONDON, July eS, '62.
SIa. l have left hitherto unanswered
and unnoticed the dispatch Of Mr. Sew.
ard, which Mr. Adams delivered more
than month ago. l have done SO part.
ly because the military events referred to
in it. were, in the opinion Of Her Males
ty's Government, far from being decisive,
and partly because here was no proposal
in it upon which Her Majesty's Govern
mens were called upon 10 come TO any
conclusion.
Events subsequent 10 the date Of Mr..
Stewards letter have shown that Her Ma
jcsty's Government, in their opinion up.
on the 6rst Of these points, were not mis-
taken,
Victories have been gained, reverses
have followed, positions have been reach.
ed 10 the near neighborhood of the capital
of the Confederates, and these positions
have been again abandoned.
These events have been accompanied by
great loss Of life in battle and in the hos
pitfalls, while such measures as the Con.
fscaIion bill have passed through both
Houses OF Congress, and with the proc
lamaions of Gen. Butler, at New Orleans,
bear evidence of the increasing bitterness
OF .he strife.
The approach Of ssrvile war, so much
insisted upon by Mr.. Seward in lis dis
patch, only forewarus US that another els.
ment Of destruction may be added 10 the
loss of property and waste Of in1ustrv,
which already aflicts a country, SO lately
prosperous and tranquil.
Nor on the other point to which l have
advsrted have l anything new 10 cay
From the moment that intelligence first
reached this c. untry that nine States and
several millions 0f inhsbitants Of lhe great
American Union had seeded and had
made war on the Government of Presi.
den. Lincoln. down 10 the present time,
Her Majssty's Government have pursued
a friendly. open and consistent COURSE
They have been neutral between the two
parties to civil war.
Neither the loss OF raw material, 80 NE
cessary to a great portion Of our people,
nor insult constantly heaped upon the
British name in speeches & newspapers,
nor rigor, beyond :he usual practice Of
nations. with which the Queens subjActs is
attempting to break loose from the block
ade of the Southern ports have been
treated--haye induced Her Majesty g
Government to swervs an inch from an
impartial neutrality.
At this moment they hare nothing. more
at heat than to see that consummation,
uhich the President speaks Of in his an.
swer to the Governors of eighteen States,
namely: " The bringing of this unnecessary
and injurious civH wdr to a speedy and
satisfactOry cOneluston."
AS to the coulse of opinion in this
country, the President is aware that per.
feet freedom TO comment upon all public
events is, In this country, the invariablt
practice, sanctioned by law. and approved
by the universal sense cf the nation.
