Our Relations With England.

The speech of Sir Rounded Palmer,
Attorney General of England will com
mand attention as an official expression
of the policy of the British Govern
ment. He holds that America has a
right to expect neutrality from Eng
land and strict compliance with inter
national law The recognition of the
rebel States as belligerents was justif
able, for certainly for the time being
they are carrying on war for them
selves and have Government. Ifthey
were not belligerents, the blockade
could not be maintained. But THEN
independence cannot be recognized, foi
they have not yet established it. In
reference at present would not benefit
the South, and would justly exasperate
the North When the Northern armies
were withdrawn, then it would be time
for recognition. There had been nc
gross er manifest injustice showed tc
British shipping by the war vessels Of
the United States, and the latter Coy
ernment had not asserted the laws o.
war more strictly than England. The
British Government had incurred some
obloquy by interfering with Influential
citizens who wished to help the South
butt would rather incur obloquy o,
even relinquish office than abrogate the
policy it had itself marked out ant
frltter away time in endeavoring to dis
turb the blockade. He then showed
the difference between lawful trade Will
belligerents and the fitting out of arme,

honorable terms. The tone of tn
speech was eminently pacific, and ii
hearers-it was delivered to the voter
of Richmond, England--endorsed il

the law, they have a right to enter. SO in

tant Gen THOMAS, makes very able re

great success attending the leasing ofaban
doned cotton plantations along the Miss
issippi river to contrabands and others
The trial was made under great disadvan
tages, in an enemy's country, nearly two
months out of season, followed by the rebel
attack on Milliken's Bend during the sum
mer, causing some of the lessees to leave
and thc fields to grow up to weeds &C.
The whole thing was done without any ex-
pense to the government, the contrabands
supporting themselves and their families.
The number of bales Of cotton raised on
these plantations will not much, if any, fall
short of 6, 900 giving to the Govern
ment the sum of $l5, 900 as revenue. The
lesees will also pay to the Quartermaster' S
Department, for mules, utensils, &c, fur
nished or found on the place, some $780,
000 The charge, in lieu of rent, is two
dollars per bale, making $16,99s. The
Governments share on some plantations
abandoned by lessees may sell for one hun
bred and fifty thousand dollars.
Many Of these plantations were leased to
white men, thus showing that cotton can be
grown by free labor, white as well as black,
successfully under favorable circumstances.

BLAIR's STATEMENT AND WEEDS RECORD.
Mr.. Blair, q member of Mr.. Lincoln's
Cabinet, says: simultaneously three
leading organs: the Chronicle at Wash
ington, boasting sort of official sanction ;
the Missouri Democrat, the ultra abolish
er Of Fremont graft at st. Louis; and the
Atlantic Monthly, which lends to the pa
rent stock at Boston all it can boast Of
literary strength and elegance, have struck
the keynote of revolution, the sheer alb
olition of State Constitutions in the region
suffering under the rod Of the rebellion.
Some months ago Thurlow Weed pub
lished letter in the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser, which closed with the
following prophecy: II desire to make
this record: fit comes to be understood
that the views and policy of Messrs. Sum-
ner, Greeley, Wendell Phillips, Ward
Beecher, &C., &C., obtain in the conduct
of the war, it will result in the destruction
of our Government and Union, and tri-
umph of Rebellion and Slavery" The
Administration has adopted their views
and is conducting the war in strict ac-
cordance with their policy, and, with sim
gular consistency, both Blair and Weed
support the Administration
