Mr.. Massey, member of Parliament, de-
livered a speech to his constituents, at Gal
ford, in which be advocated that the Euro
pean powers should interfere to close the
struggle between the North and South by
recognizing the Confederate States and
breaking the blockade This speech attract
ed some attention. The London Times. in
an editorial upon it, says France may inter
fere if she likes. highlands true policy is
to suffer little longer and let the event
work itselfeut. It will not be long. 1t
may indeed be doubted whether our inter
/ ference would not rather retard than hasten
the desired event of opening ports for large
| supply of cotton. Let us pursue our honest
policy by standing quite aloOf
The Manchester Guardian argues, in a
somewhat similar strain, and as regards
| the cotton supply, it says it is question
how far in this direction the prevailing dis

/ whether it is not as much attributable TO
our production as to mere dearth of cotton .?
/ The factory statistics show that the shorten

! gradually extending, and in the course of
a week or two the movement Is expected to
become much more general and extensive
The London Times publishes letter
from a correspondent, calling attention to
the fact that the Federal gunboat Tuscarora
has infrnged and continues to infringe the
rules of neutrality at Southam pton, and
calling on the government no longer to
tolerate such fragrant disregard of neutral
rights.
The brig West Indian, Capt. Foote, from
Charleston, Dee. 4th, with a cargo of spirits |
turpentine, had arrived at Liverpool The |
Captain reports that the Federal blockade |
at Charleston is anything but effectual, and |
says that the stone blockade SO far from |
stopping the entrance to the port, will /
eventually deepen the shallow channel. |
The citizens of Charleston have very little |
aneasiuess on the subject.
\ 1t was represented that Charleston was |
well defended, and between that city and |
Savannah, General Lee had about 10000 /
troops.

The London Times congratulates Europe
that the military force of France now bids
fair to shrink to reasonable limits. Let it
be once understood that France has no de-
sire to distrust the tranquility of her neigh

to be surpassed in the New World.

The question of European Intervention in
the civil war in America is being much
more freely canvassed. The proceedings at
Charleston and the alleged general ineffi-
cheney Of the blockade are the excuses put
forth for such a step. The text of Earl
Russelrs letter to the Liverpool Ship-own-
ers' Association had been published. The
letter says that the British Government no.
tilted Lord Lyons when the measure was ;
preparing, that such a plan as q stone
blockade would seem to imply despair of
the Union, the protested object of the
Wat.
1t never could be the wish of the United
States 10 destroy cities from which their
own country was to derive a portion of it's

Lyons was further told that even as a
scheme of embittered and sanguiuary war,
it was such a measure as could not be iusti-
fable. II would be plot against the COM
MERGE Of all nations and against the free
intercourse Of the Southern States with the
civilized world. Lord Lyons was de-
sired to speak in this sense to Mr.. Seward
who, it was hoped, would disavow the

Washington had been furnished with the
formal disapprobatiou of the French GovS
eminent at the conduct of the United States
Government in choking up Charleston har-
Dor with stone, and that he would ioin !
Lord Lyons in protesting against the act.
The London Times continues its denun-
Citations of the stone blockade, and asserts
that the project of the British Government :
against BouIogne in 1904 was far differ
