FRAScE.-Tbe Emperor's speech to the
Corps Legislatiff on the 25th was expected
with great interest under the belief that he
will say somthing important on American
Affairs. This is the time for. waiting, and
we can afford to wait quite as easily as the
North and South can afford to be looking
across the Potomac, at a cost of two million
pounds a week to each of them. II there

The London Globe editorially remarks, the
maritime powers cannot be expected to res
pect the Federal blockade, unless really eff.
fective. The commerce Of the world cannot
suffer itself to be dispoiled for an indefinite
period under mere paper blockade. As to
intervation, says the Globe, may be invited
or offered to intervene, but our great aim
must be to preserve consistency with our
own principles. .a5 r syf

marks were mainly in response to a late
speech Of Mr.. Massey al. Stafford, whose state

grievous injustice to the North. The lectu.
rer said the breaking of the blockade would
be a wicked and fiendish act, and no greater
crime could be created against any country.

The Times in neditorialo on Mr.. Summers

England has budged one step from her for
