Professor Goldwin Smith, in the Lon
don Daily Nel0s, controverts the opin-
ions of Manchester paper and urges that
although compromise with slave oil
gsrchy is impossible, it is possible, that
st no distant time negotiations may be
hopefully commenced with the separate
States over which the oligarchy of Rich
mond is exercising its uEurped power.
The L,sdez, the Confederate organ in
London, ridicules Blair's alleged pesce
negotiations, but does not altogether dis
credit peace rumors.
It asserts the North Is unmistakably
tired Of war, and that more rational coun-
sells are beginning to prevail. It claims
that the abandonment Of the sea coast by
the South will be an actual advantage In 8
military point of view, by increasing the
strength of its inland armies.
The badez then points out that friendship
may be restored between the North and
South, and so close an alliance formed as
to practically make a new Union. Under
such circumstances war with England or
France, Of both, would be necessity.
The Ludez contends that the United
States government is paving the way for
such 8 war. 1t says that war is reaching
such crisis that England and France
must decide to become friends Of
one of the belligerents, or fight them both,
and events are occurring which may pre-
cipitste that decision at least In the case Of
France.
The I,pdsr, in the meantime, bids the
friends of the South to be of good cheer,
and promises them shortly series Of
Agreeable surprises.
The Isdec also gives rumor, which is
alleged TO be current in political circles, OF
the intantion en- the part of the British
government to sever its connection with
canada before the termination Of the
American war, 50 that the finest province
of Great Britain may be seized without
forcing England into war.
The London Times, editorially, finds
fault with the legal opinion given by Mr..
WIN. NJ. EvRrts, as to the right Of Euro
pean creditors to recover debts in Amert-
ca on specie basis.
The Times observes that it is time that
Mr.. EEarts arrives at 8 satisfactory con-
clusion, that foreign transactions ought to
be settled according TO real and not nomi-
nal value of American currency; but the
conclusion is expressed so dodbtfully and
is fenced around with SO many limitations
that those whose interests it is to main
tain an opposite opinion, will do so.
