THE SECRETARY FOR WAR ON AMERICA.
Sir G. G.. Lewis was among the guests at the
annual dinner OF the Hereiordshre Agricultural
Society on the l4th. In responding TO n toast, the
Right Hon. Baropet said, with reference - the
American war that the Government Of this country
were in the position Of having 10 choose between
two opposite coursss, namely recognition OF tue
Southern States on the one hand. ard sympaIhy or
alliance with the UnionisLe on the other. lie
Government had avoided both these extremes, aud
had pursued middle course Of strict neutrality.
II has been said complaints had been made by the
Government at Washington that the Government oi
England had not maintained strict neutrality, be-
osuso il had recognized the South u belhgerent
power. lie could not help thinking that any Impair
tial person would come 10 the cOnclusiOn that no
word Of the Engli-h language woald apply with
greater aptitude TO the Southern States than the
word bclligerent.' Looking 70 the fact Of their |
combining for the purpose OF war, 10 the number OF
men they had rased. the large armies they bad
brought into the ed the ebaliiy OF the generals by
whom those armies were commanded, and the peril
nscitv with which The contest their part had been
wazed II could not surely be denied that they de-
served the name Of bellgerent in reference to the
manner IN which they had carried on The war against
the Northern States. Hear, hearl
lie considered, therefore, that the charge against
the Government of this country OF departing from
The principle Of strict neutrality, by recognizing tie
South us belllgrrent power, was unfoGnded But
when the Government was asked to go step /
further and 10 say that the Southern States have
constituted themselves hu Independent power, tLen
n seemed TO hin thai international law would not
be OH side. Everybody who read tie accounts .
Of what War doing IN America would see that the I
war there N vet was an undecided war wagcd on |
tine part OF the Northern States for the purpose Of
restoring tho States to the condition they were in
before the began, and on the part o tie south

pendeDce.
Bu, until the war had been decided on one ,ide or
the other or until il had been fr decided in favor
OF the Southern States as 10 induce the North to
recognize their Independence, or TO prove 20 foreign
states that the contest exhausted, aud that the
Nor.hern States were unable 10 continue iJ-unt
that moment arrived IL could not be said, IN accord
ance with the established doctrines OF International
law, that the independence of the Soatbern States
had been established. lie belieyed It was the gen.
cral opInion oi the people OF this country that the
contest would issue IN tie establishments # he ince-
pendenCe ~ the South; but he gave no opinion on
thst point himself. IL cond not be said that the
Southern States had yet established de ac,o their n
dependence; and that being a matter OF notoriety
he did not think the Government OF this country /
could be charged with not recognizrg thpt inde-
poudenee. IN conclusion the night honorable gen

considerable extra outlay, which 1t WAS impossible /
