The London correspondent of the Manches-
ter Guardian, writing on the emancipation
proclamation, says he hears very general
expression of opinion that the first black out
rage will be a signal for European interview
ton in the interest of humanity.
The Times again replies to the New York
chamber of commerce touching the Alabama.
1t admits that the resentment of the north is
very natural, and the case, as seen from fed
eral point of view, claims a certain degree of
sympathy. 1t contends, however, that the
complaint againstthe British government real
ly amounts to very little, and adduces argu-
ments against them.
Among the French diplomatic correspon-
dence just published is letter from Napoleon
to Gen. Forney, in which it is confessed that
the motive for the French policy in Mexico is
desire to prevent the United States from
extending their authority southwark over the
American continent.
Bright and Scholefeld had again been
speaking in Birmingham in reference mainly
to belligerent rights, &c. Bright did not think
auy change could be made in the determine
ton of the Paris congress. He questioned
whether commercial men desired peace in
America. 1t would bring ruin to many. He
complained OF Earl Russell and Mr. Glad
stone, and bitterly denounced the Times for
misleading the public on the American ques-
ton.
Movements are on foot in Liverpool to test
public opinion by meeting to consider the
American war and the emancipation question.
A similar movement will take place in Man
oh oh &c
society is being formed.
All the Spanish ministry have resigned.

LIVERPOOL, Jan. 7.-CoTToN-The de-
mand in the early part of the week was on a
limited scale, and in anticipation that the next
account from America might be more favor
able for peace, the market became dull and
irregular, many holders submitting to re-
duction of Is. I'd. per pound from last weeks
quotations. On Wednesday, advices were re-
ceived from America announcing emancipa'
ton of the slaves in the confederate states,
and determination on the part of the north
to preserve the Union at all hazards. This,
together with favorable news from India, led
to large demand, and twenty thousand bales
were sold at an advance of Is. I'd. to IS. 4d
on the previous sales. On Thursday there
was rather less doing in consequence of the
advance in the bank rate of interest from
three to four per cent. Prices however re-
main tolerably well supported. The business
done in American has been very limited, the
prices remaining without material change from
last week.
LIVERPOOL, January .-Erening.-The
steamship Great Eastern from New York. and
the Europa from Boston, arrived to-day. Cot
ton sales to-day, 5000 bales, including 1900
bales to spectators and exporters. The

breadstuffs market is quiet and steady.
An influential deputation from the enamel
patton society waited on minister Adams,
Jan. 10th, to present a copy of the resolutions
expressing sympathy with the anti slavery
policy of Mr.. Lincoln's government. The
Rev. Baptist Noel, Jacob Bright, and others,
addressed appropriate observations to Mr..
Adams, who, in reply, expressed gratitica-
ton at proofs which were being afforded
Of friendiness of public opinion towards the
United States government. Said he felt sure
lHG representation WhlCIl III ildhC
on the subject would tend to remove the irri-
taton which might have been felt among the
people of his country. He then explained
and defended the acts and policy of the United
States, and pointed out that the legally es-
tablished government which the slaveholding
conspirators had assailed, was really fighting
in self defence, and in behalf of liberty and
human progress.
The Army and Navy Gazette says :-'End
to the war, except in mutual ruin, we can see
none. Those VINO speak of reducing the
south to the state of San Domingo, little real
ize the miseries and horrors which must befal
the south ere her bleeding carcase lies unre-
d. sistingly at the foot of armed a5oli!ionists.'
