Tbs London Heratd says Mr.. GLAosroEE's words
are Of course not the mere hsp-hfzard sexpres

which he is q member. It will now be UNDERSTOOD

English Government are convinced tho tipe bts

The London G.obs says it has no authority 10
announce the day or hosr tho pognit on viii BE-
given on the part or this country, but it 10 clear
it cannot be deferred long, and 10 sry other case
there is no doubt it would be given sooner. The
sincere repugnapce to count eDancs encourage,
BY any premature act, the forpeticn Of Es inde-
psndsnt slave power, can alens account for the
delay in this instance. ''HIi .s "
Tho London Chipping Gass:ts can hardly sup.
pose that Mr.. GLApsross expressed sentiments 1t
variance with those Of his colleagues. Possibly
,, he has been premature in the ANNOUNCEMENT Of
his views. At Manchester, recently, be publicly
expressed cophiencs in the success Of the Sopth-
err cause. He is ct all events, delibersts sh4

But the truth IT,, hat the President and al hls
advisers are At their Wits end. They have Lost
all control over the course Of public aGAirs ell
they can do is to draw long bills ppon the future,
and lay out lines of policy 10 bs followed when
the present crisis is past. Hence It To-, that, in.

We do net blame him for trying to put = good
face on, aud to 'ep up appearances to the last,
but this proclamation is pats ke. 1t Is the
laug hing stock Of Europe. The bare idea of
Government, in the last stage of iucapabiity,
proclsining q coup .d'staf, to take effect thrss
months hence is more than ridiculous--it i, pitis.
BILE. Before the let OF January the Northern
States may be revolution god, or even conquered.
Of the latter there is perhaps NO great proba.
bilty, but the former is seriously threatening.

But it 10 not aformid4be document. We gather

1t may possibly produce some partial risiass, for
let any armed power pub;ish an exhortstion to the
laborng class Of any community to plumber and
mnrder, aud there will be some response. It might
happen in London, or Psris, or New York.
! That Mr.. LIEo, LN's emancipation DEGREES will
have any general effect bearing upon the Issue OF
the war, we do not, however, believe. The ne
groes have already ebupdsn'ly discovered tina. the
tender mereies o: the Fortherners ave cruelties.
The freedom which is associated with labor in the
trenches, military discipline, and frank avovsls
OF personal sbhorrence, MON mentsrily repeated,
does not commend itself to the negro n ture.-
stories of the III sueee of his tampsrinss sith the
| negroes about New Orleans. We do not thipk
that even now, when Mr.. Lixoats plays his las.
card, it will prove to ba . trump.
