PORTLAND, Feb. 5th.-Steamer Nova Sco-
tia from Liverpool. Mr.. Mossey member Of
Parliament has delivered a speach to his con-
stituents advocating that European powers
should interfere between North and South by
recognizing the Southern Confederacy, and
breaking the blockade, which attracted some
attention. The London Times, in an editorial
upon it, says: Let France interfere il she likes,
England's true policy is to suffer little longer
and let events work themselves Quit will
not be long. 1t may indeed be doubtful wheth-
er our interference would not rather retard than
hasten the opening of the ports. Let us, then,
pursue an honest policy by standing quietly
aloof. The Manchester Meridian argues in the
same strain. The Times publishes a letter
stating that the Federal gun boat Tuscarora
has infringed the rules Of neutrality, and call
ing on the Government not longer to tolerate
such fragrant disregard of neutral rights. The
Liverpool Post emphatically declares that the
civil war must be stopped by mediation pos
sible, bv force il necessary. The London Times
continues its denunciation against the stone
blockade of Charleston.
