Ia the House of Commons on the llth
inst. the question as TO whether the Gov
ernment had resolved to withdraw bellig.
erent rights from the South, of which no.
tice bad been given by Mr.. White, was
not put.
Tue Morning. Star assumes from Mr.
White having been requested to postpone
his question that the question is mud er the
consideration of the Cabinet, and observes:
Though the withdrawal of belligereuI
rights is NO mare sentimental action, it
would have the effect OF shutting the Aus
lFsliAn pOrts % Ihe Shenandoah, and those
Of the WesttO the. StoneWall, the only two
Privsteers now ahOat. It would tend to
expedite the period when the Government
of the Union will raise the blockade and
permit free intercourse with the Southern
States"
The forming Post in an editorial on the
same subject, says: mir. White postponed
his question in the absence of Lord Pal
merstOn, but it is unquestiouably one to
which an answer must be speedily given"
The Post says: sit is impossible TO
avoid the conclusion that the Confederate
Government has ceased to exist. The
South ceases to be belligereut when it no
longer possesses the means of prosecuting
the war, and as it has already made admjs.
sion to that effect in the original conven.
ton between Johnston and Sherman, no
cause OF complaint will be given If neutral
powers iudotse the confession.
The Daily NetVs notices, as among the
most pleasing features of the recent INTEL
ligence from America, the improved feel.
ing of the citizens of the United States
toward England.
There are evidences Of this on every
hand. but they are especially visible in the
altered tone of their most representative
newspapers. Il claims that circumstances
have lot only improved the situation and
temper of American citizens, but have
contributed to place the English character
and motives in truer light.
In opposition to this the Morning. Herald
gives rumors that Sir F. Bruce complains
OF the difficulty OF maintaining friendly
relations with the Washington Govern
ment, and that Mr.. Adams has presented
csatms for Losses BY the Aiabama.
