Our chief difficulty, therefore, in this matter will be to preserve our neutrality in spite of the belligerents. If it be broken it will not be by reason of any partiality in the British Government, but by reason of the machinations of one or both of the warring factions. It is we ourselves who have the strongest possible interest in preventing our seamen from engaging in this terrible war. To America this is an internecine and fratricidal conflict. If we were to take part in it by lending ourselves to the detestable trade of Privateering it would be to us nothing less than a civil war. It would be Portsmouth against Plymouth, and the paid-off sailors of one one English ship of war against the paid-off sailors of another English ship of war. We should be Englishmen fighting each other pa the seas for a quarrel in which we have no interest. Nothing could be so discreditable and so disastrous. The Proclamation which warned all English subjects against taking part in this contest, is not like one of those formal notifications which have been sometimes issued without much expectation that they would be seriously e representatives of despotic and contteTtl obeyed.

Whether they be plundering in the name of Mr. Jefferson Davis, or fighting for high wages underwill be the flag of Mr. Lincoln, they be equally mere mercenary cutthroats, and will be utterly disavowed by their countrymen. We believe, if it should unfortunately happen that privateers should steal forth in this American quarrel 1 from English ports, that the public would see with great satisfaction the merchant who furnished the warlike stores, the shipbuilder who furnished the ship, and the captain who commanded her, all punished together as confederates. This, however, is contrary to the law of nations, and Lord Ellenborough offers to all such offenders the consolation that some time after they have been caught and hanged there will be a strong diplomatic protest delivered on their behalf.--limes.
