The Question Of Intervention.
II was rightly remarked In this paper yesterday
morning that the details Of the foreign news by
the Arabia with dates to the 18th June, were much
more important than the tclegraphic summary
Published by uson Monday led us to suppose. The
New Ysrk Herald confesses this. The language
Of Sir James Walsh and Of Nr. Gregory, in de-
bate In the House Of Commons, was singuIariy
pointed ind energetic, and Lord Palmerston, in
concluding his own denuneiatkon Of Buffers infa-
nous proclamation, expressly approved the senii
,nsnts and language uttered by those two speakers
Mr. Gregory concluded with this remarkable
scnce:
"He did not appeal to his honorable friend, the
Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. to
reply 70 this question. bat he did ask The Prime
MiHistsy Of Esglaad ii he was prepared to do that
which he was convinced the Ruler " trdre and

outrage which had been perpetrated against de-
censy In the age In which we lived"

Southern Confederacy. and very able and infucn-

the compliment all the more striking The idea is
strengthened by the tenor of several editorials OF
leading journals Of Paris and London; the former,

France lead in the matter. The leading one Of
these prudential considerations being the alleged
greater popularity Of the Emperor and France with
the United States than Her Majestys Government.

We adverted day or two since to the remarks
Of both Lord Palmerston aud Earl Russell, that
there was intention of her Majesty Government
at present to intervene, thus plainly ntinating
that the time may soon come when England will
feel called on to intervene That time is undouht-
eddy when the Confederacy shall give that test Of
"force and consistency which. in the estimation
of the British Government, will afford the proof Of
nationality. The Times is Of opinion tina, this Las

than that IF an offer Of mediation may hare to
be considered by England and France" What is
that but an ARMED INTfRvEHTION1
Sir J. Walsh seems to be at least Of opinion that
the Southern Confederacy has given the proof OF
"n0nsisfency. if not Of "orce,' sufficient for
aionality He declared in his speech tina. d" all ac-
counts agreed in stating that wherever the North

entertained in the Secessionst States other feelings
than those of the most determined hostility to the
Northern States Of America. 1t would appear that
such feeling was universal"
Buffers infamous order afforded the occasion for
the latest demonstration in England; but it was
evident that the British public, Parliament, psess
and people, were ripe for il. The demonstration
from France was not stimulated by the indignation

II il now very clear that both France and Eng
