The prospect of an armistice in America
was universally debated in England.
The Times continued to represent that the
feeling of the North in favor Of an armistice
had rapidly increased, and this was strongly
combatted by many who refused to believe in
an armistice, because it would at once neces-
state the raising of the blockade.

9Th, noticing feeling Of panic which the
peace prospects had created, seeks to modify
the financial apprehension it had raised by
arguing that it is premature to regard peace

the reconstruction Of the Union as its one
absolute consideration. However, it labors
to show that if the ports Of the South should
be absolutely thrown open by an armistice,
and flood of cotton should seriously aggra-
vate the existing pressure for money, coun-
teracting influences will be at work to prevent
the drain of money which is feared.
