constituents at so1ford, in which he advocated
that the European powers should Interfere to
close the struggle between the North and
and breaking tile blockade. This speech at
traeted some attention.
The London Times, in an editorial upon it,
says, ttLct France interfere If she likes. Eng
lands true policy is to suffer little longer,
and let the event work itself ont. It will not
be long. 1t may tie, indeed, doubtful whether
our interference would not rather retard than
hasten the desired event Of open ports and q
large supply Of cotton Let lis, then, pursue
an honest policy By Standing quite a1oof."

what similar strain, and, as regards the cotton
supply, it says: lit is question how fur in
this district the prevailing distress is due to
the civil war in America, and whether it is not
