The question of European intervention in
the civil war in America is being much more
freely csnvsssed. The proceedings at
Charleston, for the alleged general deficiency
of the blockade being the excuse put forth
for such step.
The text of Earl Russels letter to the
Liverpool Ship owners Association had been
published. The letter says that "the British
Government notified Lord Lyons, when the
measure was preparing, that such plan (the
stone blockade) would seem to imply despair
of the restoration of the Union, the protested
object OF the war, for it never could be the
wish Of the United States Government to
destroy cities from which their own country
was TO derive a portion of its riches. Such
a plan could only be adopted as a measure of
revenge, and as an irremediable injury
against an enemy"
Lord Lyons was further told that "even as
a scheme of embittered and sanguinary war
such q measure could not be iustifable, It
would be plot against the commerce of all
nations, and against the free intercourse of
the Southern States with the civilized world
Lord Lyons was desired to speak in this
sense to Mr.. Seward, who, it was hoped,
would disavow the illegal projects. "Now,
however" says the letter. that the project
seems to have been carried into effect at
Charleston, Lord Lyons will be instructed to
make further representations to Mr.. Seward,
with view to prevent similar acts of de-
struction at other ports"
1t was stated that the French Minister at
Washington had been furnished with the
formal disapprobation of the French Govern
ment at the conduct of the United States
Government in choking up Charleston harbor
with stone, and that he would Join Lord
Lyons in protesting against the act.

tions of the stone blockade, and asserts that
the project of the British Government against
Boulogne, in 1904, was different thing,
having been designed to shut in hostile
feet.
The London Morning Post says that mat
ters in America are evidently approaching a
situation in which the de fdcto government
of the South may claim consideration in Eu-
rope.
Some journals say that it, in spite of the
Iemonstrances against it, other Southern
ports are served like Charleston, England
and France will have nothing left for them
TO do but to interfere.
The Liverpool Post emphatically declares
that the civil war must be stopped by media,
ton if possible, by force if necessary.
The London Daily NsDs continues boldly
TO denounce the idea of recognizing the
South, and says it is time the country should
utter its voice against it in unmistsksble
tones.

claiming the blockade of the Southern ports
inefficient will be taken by France.
