European politics ara unimportsnt. Earl
Russell has made an important speech on
foreign affairs, at Blair Gourie, Scotland.
He referred at considerable length to
the American question. He justified
England in recognizing the Confederstes
as belligerents, and answered some Of the
impufstions brought by the people of the
North, particularly the speech Of Senator
Sumner.
He also replied to the complaint Of the
South in regard to the recognition Of the
blockade, and asserted that, although self
interest demanded that England should
break it, she prefers the course of honor,
as it would have been infamous to break it.
He showed that the Government had not
sufficient evidence against the Alabama to
detain her until after she sailed, and eX-
planned the difficulties in the way on inter
ference with such cases. He drew q line
between ordinary vessels equipped for war
purposes and steam rams, which are in
themselves formed for acts Of offence, and
might be used without ever touching Con-
federate shores. BE asserted that the Gov.
ernment was ready to do everything that
the duties Of neutrality required, every
thing that is just to friendly nation, and
such ss they would wish done to them
selves. but would not Weld one jot to the
menaces Of foreign powers.
He eomplimeuted the Federal Govern
ment and Mr.. Seward upon the fairness
with which they have discussed the mat
ters Of difference, but said there were
others, including Senator Sumner, who had
acted differently. He denounced the ef-
forts of those who sought to create trouble
between America and Europe, and with
expressions of friendship towards Ameri-
ca, asserted that all his efsrts would be to
maintain peace.
Speaking Of Poland he defended Eng
lands position and demonstrated against
that of Russia, but did not think England
should 20 to war on the subject.
As regards Mexico he thought that if the
Msxicans approved of what was being
done for them they should be allowed to
do SO.
The London Times referring to the with
drawal Of Mr.. Mason from England sug-
gests the grounds which have, probably,
prompted the Government ct Richmond to
address themselves at last wholly and ex-
clusively to France. The inference is
that the withdrawal Of Mr.. Mason is pre-
liminsry to some action on the part Of
France.
Messrs. slidell and Mason were always
associated in mems minds, and SO were,
also, the Cabinet Of Paris and London IS
regards American affairs.
The presence Of Mr.. Mason in London
typifyiDg an unsuccessful appeal to sn
Anglo French alliance has no doubt been
considered by the Confederstes as q
chance to the South. 1t appeared so to
the the two powers, and it would not be q
n after Of surprise that one Of them should
hesitate to decide what course to pursue
without the other.
Now things have changed. One Of these
powers has taken position on the Ameri-
can continent, which actually enables this
poor, harrassed, unrecognized Confedera-
cy to confer a favor. The South, 9 new
neighbor to the distant neutral State to
which Mr.. Slidell was sent two years ago,
is now a sort Of neutral ally, with com
mon antagonism to Federal power. Can
it be wonder, then, that the Confederate
politicians desire to free the French En-
peror from any shackle that may repress
his liberty Of action. The appeal of the
Confederates is to France, also as proprie-
tor Of the Mexican monarchy and a bold
challenger Of Federal supremacy on the
American continent.
The Paris Journals Memorial Diploma
tique, writing on the Polish question, de-
nounces strongly the course Of England
and Austria, and speaks in tones Of
strong hostility.
The Journal Des Debsts also points to
the possibility Of France being left to set
tie the question alone by the sword, and
points out that England and Austria would
have to pledge themselves to friendly me-
distion.
