Withdrawn

The excitement prevalent when the Nova

even under the Araoia's advices.
The Times thinks the news is not shown
to be wholly untrue.
In the House of 70 nmons on the 18th,
Mr. Lindsay's mOtion declared that the
Confederates have shown such determina-
tion and ability to maintain their independ-
ence, that the propriety of Offering media
tion with view of a termination OF bOstil-
ties is worthy of serious and immediate
consideration OF the government.
Mr.. Lindsay was pressed to withdraw his
motion, but be felt it bis duty to proceed.
He argued strongly in favor of it, as did
Lord A. Vane Tempest, Whiteside and
Gregory.
Mr.. Taylor and Lord Palmerston spoke
against it. The latter earnestly advised
that the question be left to the government.
In the course of his speech, he treated the
issue of the war as fOregone conclusion,
saying that the only satisfactory terminus
tion that could be anticipated was amicable
separation
This, however, he thought, would be i'm.
peded rather than facilitated by debates 10
Parliament. He contended that the ac-
acknowledgement of England would give the
North no cause of offence, but that the
present position of the contest would not
Justify the recognition of Southern indies
penderc.. He again appealed to Mr.. Lind
say to withdraw his motion, which was
finally DONE
The Times says every man can see that
the time draws near when the Government
must give it's opinion, if Mcclellan is
proved incapable OF resumiDg the offensive.
The propriety of treating the Confeder.
ates as independent may be justly discussed
in the cabinet.
The Daily Neaos and Star applaud Pals
merston's views and contend that the time
has not yet arrived for mediation.
During the debate on colonial military
expenditures in the House OF Lords The
Canadians were reproached for negligence
in not providing strong military force.
Epgsh journals attack the Orleans
Princes for the course they have pursued
with the Northern army.
TIE Princess Clothllde gave birth to 0
Prince on the 18th.
