advances the belief that Mr.. Motley will make
no fresh proposals., and asserts that the only
apprehension of disagreement as to the terms
OF settlement arises from the fact that the pol
iticians Of the United States exhibit no dispo-
sition to separate the material from the senti-
mental grievances. The Times contends that
the alleged injuries arising from the Queens
proclamation Of neutrality were purely acci-
dental, and that the British Government can
not be held responsible for the sympathies OF
the English people with the South. 1t con-
cludes: "Letno misdirection of fsympathy. but
settled reflection and cool communings OF
conscience settle the question; and on both
sides let the alleged injuries be measured and
appraised by the proper tribunals. That course
may open way for settlement Of the diff
culties, and We shall be rejoised to find that
the Americans have discovered it." The Star

trality proclamation was real benefit to the
North, and argues that, while general society
in England favored the South, the laboring
classes undoubtedly sympatbizsd with the
American Government" The Standard (high
Tory, is excessively bitter, and boldly ac-
knowledges that it sympathized with the
South, and still entertains the same feelings.
