The question Of European Intervention

more freely canVassed, The proceedings
at Charleston for the alleged general in
efficiency Of the bloeksde being the ex-
ouses put forth for such q step. The text
Of Earl RusselPs letter to the Liverpool
ship owners had been published.
The letter says that the British Govern
ment notified Lord Lyons when the measure
was preparing that such plan as the stone
blockade would seem to imply despair of the
restoration of the Union, the professed OBJ
iect Of The war, for it never esuld be the
wish Of the United States Government to
destroy cities from which their own country
was to receive portion Of its riches. Such
plan could only be adopted As q measure of
revenge, and as an irremediabls injury
against an enemy. Lord Lyons was further
HagnA ~ Il
and sanguinary war, such a measure could
not be justi6able. It would be plot against
the commerce Of all nations, and sgainsfthe
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 this lie
gal project. Now, however, says the letter,
that the project seems to have been carried
into effect at Charleston, Lord Lyons VIII be
instructed to make further representa-
tons to Mr.. Seward with . view 70 prevent
similar acts of destruction ct other ports.-

that the civil war must be stopped By medi-
alton if possible, by force If necessary.

utter it's voice against 1t in unmistakable
