If it be true, as the last foreign news would lead us to anticipate, that tho British Gl:merri ment intends to pursue an equivocal or hostile policy in regard to the Southern Confederacy, we trust and believe that Mr. Lutoone's Ad ministration will do the sensible and the brave thing at once. Indeed, we know that some weeks since all the civilized Powers were ap prised that any recognition of- the rebellion optimum authinity on theenzenrlean meat would be instantly resented by the x octanes. With this notice in their possession, the encouragement extended by LortllollN RUSSELL, and his associates in the Mitaistii, to Denney Manx and the other commis sioners of the Southern rebels, now in London, looks like a premeditated limn. Hon. CRARLICS FRANCIS ADAMS, pf Mensachu. setts, the successor of Mr. Dennis at the Court of St. Series, ought to be in London by thin ; time. At any rate, he will arrive in season to i be able to state with distinctness the course of his Government in regard to the action of European Powers upon our present difficultiee. He is, of all men, singularly qualified to dis charge this duty with conscientious fidelity and unfaltering eotinige. IMF a think that it will appear that he has been author:zed to say to Lord Joan Ressets and Lord RIZMNISTON, that any attempt, directly or indirectly, officially or tosofficiatty, to treat with or to recognize the commissioners of the tractors now in arms against this Government, will be Immediately followed by a demand for his passport and by a deciarstion, in the name of the United States, that all the exequaturs granted to the British consuls and commercial agents in this country wilt be irnmediatetyferfetted and withdrawn. -However lenient or moderate the Govern. sent may have been in regard to those who have taken np arms against it in the Southern States; however it may have indulged and wafted for returning reason among the et:a spiratory, there can be no hesitation when Great Britain coma fumed, directly or indi rectly, to espouse the cause of these men. For years past it has been the pride of the Ame riean people to et:ldeate the kindest relations with the rulers of Great Britain. Ancieni feuds--have been forgotten or ignored. The remembrances of the Revolution, and of the late 4 war, by cowmen consent, have been sunk into oblivion. in the struggle which took place between England and the other allies and Russia in the Crimean war, not withstanding the ascertained friendly dis position of the .Rusaians toward our people and oar Government, the American press and the American public opinion ral lied around the banner of St. George, and wished it complete success. Indeed,tee Lon din time* abaft' and we' preelebeed, that in this country England looked as its stay and sup poit in the event of defeat. The ties between our people and the people of England have been growing so strong and so close that we seem to have become almost one family. This policy haa extinguished lauds in Ireland, and greatly contributed to adjust the long anti vexations strife between the two islands. The succisaful experiment of colonizing Australia may be attributed, in a great degree, to the, amicable relations existing between the United Statee and the British Government. In fact,. In international courtesy, whether ripen sea or land, the two Powers have rivalled each other in acts of generosity and benevo lence. But, if Great Britain ehould throw herself into the straggle ahortly to take place between the contimuted authorities in ttds country and the bad men arrayed against du ier authorities—then not only will tke ran ' force "nt , past be revived; not only will the in me tarestions of the Revolution and the ten-tecolleennin I,,,uted_ b ut late War be rasa - if:nen- 2 - die loyal people upon this hemispreire will dedicate themselves to an eternal warfare against Great Britain, wherever her flag may float, on land or sea. If, for the sake tit ,presening her commercial and manufacturing 'superiority, lierinirdsters and rulers shall forget the great moral IBIRIR involved in this struggle, then the American people will forget every other con sideration but that of undying hostility to Eng/and; If they will throw themselves upon the aide of rebellion, and repudiation, and slavery, with all their- inconceivable evils; ft they will see Northern merchants bank rupted by Southern disbonesty, and our great cities( ruined by the bad faith of traitors in arms against this Government, there is no disaster that can happen to the flag of Bug iandthat will not be applauded upon these shores. An appeal will Ins taken from the British rulers to the British people, and it that fail, it will be carried before the bar ot Chriadendom. But it will not fail. Lord dorm Renown and Lord Patereastron will die. cover that this is not a mere commercial question, not a contest between England and Ireland, or between England and France, bui One which will stir the profoundest depths 01 public opinion all over the world. Anti.tillavery reeling of England. When it iiieloubtfal what may be the policy of the British Government to the United States, at the present Crisis, it may be proper to in quire into the feeling of the British People. The House of 001111130118 by no means repre- Dents the Commons or people of the United lingdom. At present it would show a small . 'majority, were votes taken upon a party goes tip% in favor of the Government. And "rat, it may be asked, la the organization of this . Government ? The reply must be, that Cabinet Nirdaters, who govern the British Empire, in QIISOII Vicroues name, are some sixteen noblemen, end wealthy landlords, who repro cent a certain party. On the Opposition _side are other wealthy and titled aristocrats who, when their tarn comes, Will succeed the pre- Sent uthistera. Ifoither et these aristecra is sections belong to or care about the People. tithat is the popular feeling in Great Britain eaapecting the slavery question? Decidedly there is scarcely any person in the United lhigilom who has the slightest desire to back yp Siesery. Therefore, the British public Must be adverse to the Southern Confodera. tion,—if its purpose be, we will not say aim gay to reetiefeen, but to e.rtettd Slavery. A gam of Commons supporting a Ministry in taking part in favor of Slavery would not irate represent the wishes—you may even say the prejudices of the British public. If Lord Jou Roseau, a political hair-splitter, and Lord Euarearros, a party weathercock, were 13 coma Great Britain to recognition of, or alliance with, the revolted South, would Par liament sanction it ? The /douse of Lords, an eminently Gouger_ -wative body, would not sanction any such impolicy as that. The peers, who are mainly oMtnembre, would not and will not recognize Rebellion against the United States. If ever the South should actually become an inde pendent Republic, with any prospect of staid /14r, the House of Lords would acknowledge it,- at length s —never before. The ablest statesman, the most eloquent speaker, the moat powerful politician in the House of Lords, is the Earl of Dower, and We dud dim decidedly in favor of the United States, and ss decidedly against the South, except as part and parcel at our Union. We well may call the Zell of Deere We most powerful politi cian In the Lards, seeing that be - night defeat thellnishdry, on numerous questions, if he pleased, but eontents himself with having them de under bis thumb," as the saying is. Were he to defeat the Palmerston Ministry, open any general party question, no doubt Queen VioroirL would commission him to I WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE form an Administration, as in 1952 and 1858, but, no doubt, either, that he would soon be thiven from aloe by the union of all the anti- Conservative sections, as happened to l'sst in 1885, and to himself on the two occasions above mentioned. Lord DtaliT Is more poten aa master of the occasion, when 110 pleases, than ati Prime Minister with a pack of place-hunting opponents yelping at his heels. We may rest assured tharLOrd DEBBY will prevent tke Bongo of Lords irons sanctioning any Ministerial policy which would side with the South and slight the North. With this certainty 01 having one branch of the Legislature opposed to him, should he attempt such oitter-beAl policy as this, Lord PALIMILSTON would doubtless feel the inutility of endeavoring to persuade the House of Commons to stand by him, and sanction his recognition of the revolted South. Ent, sup pose that he did make the endeavor, how would he stand, and what would the result be? In the Rouse of Commons, as in the Rouse of Lords, the Conservatives are numerically the strongest party. In the. Lords, however, there are only two parties—the Conservatives and the Liberals. In the Commons there are half a dezen parties, each numerical/I , ' weaker than the Conservative section, but when united against it, a very little stronger. A very little, indeed, seeing that, in the last groat trial et strength, 'the aviator' on Mr. GLAD/Mira Budget, the Binistry carried their point Only by a majority of eighteen—a small majority, considering that there aro 658 members of Parliament. Tho^parties who usually support the Palmer ston Cabinet are : 1, The Whigs ; 2,7 be uirra-Litrerala ; 3, The Irish Members ; 4, The Peace party; and 5, The Dissenting in terest. Lot PALMERSTON, JOUR RUSSELL, and Co. ask Parliament to amaction the 1V6. 0 8 16- Son, at this time, of the Southern Confederacy, and their majority must fall. The Whip, who claim that Fox, their beetle-browed loader, abalished the Slave Trade,in 1806, would pro bably hesitate before they sanctioned ro cogniziug Slavery en masse in 1861. The ultra-Liberals are nearly all anti-slavery men, and groat readers of lc Uncle Tom's Cabin." The Irish Members, to be consistent, should oppose Slavery in all shapes. The Peace party must feel that recognition of the South might lead to a war with the North. Lastly, all over England, the greatest and most active anti-blavery men are among the Dissenters. Whatever the tWhig, ultra Liberal, and Irish Members might de, we do not think that the Peace party, (led by BRIGHT and GOSDEJS,) and the Dissenting party in the Rouse of CraiD mons would vote for PALMERSTON it he de sired Parliament to endorse his recognition of the Southern Confederacy. sow, parliamen tary parties are so nicely balanced that the withdrawal of the Peae,e party or the Dis senters would crush the present Ministry, by allowing the Opposition to outvote them on this national question. If, the Palnlerston Ministry value their continuance in office—and it is notorious:that they de—they never will run the risk of being outvoted on this question of their violating international law and national comity, by siding with the rebeltious South. We shall not further discuss this question. But we repeat, from the moat intimate ac quaintance with the feeling of England, as a nation, and of Englishmen, as Christian mem bers of society, that recognition of the Slavery principle, by siding with, or sanctioning, or coquetting with the South, would be tho roughly fan-English. Lancashire, which has 2,500,000 persons more or less interested in the cotton manufacture, might desire to see the South backed up, for the sake of its cot ton, but Lancashire is no more .

[Cortowndenos of Tho rom] WA F RRINGTON, EV 22, MI Call It what yon may, the 11MAUS by the Go. vernment of the archives of the Telegraph Com pany was 114 coup d' dtat worthy of the good astute in which the Government Is now engaged. What a mass of information, what an encyclopedia of esorets has thus been secured ! For every reason the matiagere of the telegraph have been compelled to preserve the originals of the innumerable do apAtehes, private and public, sent and received over their wires. Many a lawsuit has bean decided by the mere wording of a telegram ; many a love metal' low been consummated by the throbbing of there eleetrie nerves; but how mach treason has been flashed from one to another of the con spirators) engaged during the last four years against the peace and happiness of this Union ! Talk of 'historians ; talk of the men who shall write the history of the present straggle between a free tforernruent and its enemies; talk of the poets who shall sing in harmonious 1111100T11 the praises of the brave men who have gone oat to fight, bleed,: and die for the Union ; or of the painters who stand ready, with inspired penal, to delineate the battles Soon to be fought ; all these are as nothing compared to the happy man who, with the permission of President Luanda and Secretary Cameron, shall be introduced into the vast profound where, for years pact, the mysteries of the telegraph office have been concealed. Much has been said about the interest attached to the opening of the letters returned to the deaddetter branch of the 091101-nt Post Office Department ; but they are nothing to the new mine of interest shortly to be exposed to the public) goee, in consequence of the possession by the Government of the archive' of the Northern telegraph offices. More than one Northern traitor will tremble when he reflects upon the forthcoming alsolosure. WO doubt many pious men have been in consultation with the bOnthern conspirators, for you will recollect that communication was main tained between the North and the tioath for a long time after the Ferree of I Jeffannin Davis and his Confederates had been 10101114. These worthy people, relying upon the secrecy of the' telegraph, have doubtless signed ho nest names to their despatches. 1 wonder whether your Win. B. Reed 'may not be found among the interesting volumes seized by the U. 8. Karelia!, and now in the custody of his Majesty Uncle Simnel? How many have been sent over the lightning line by that illustrious Seceder, Robt. Tyler, formerly of Bristol, now of nowhere? Of course, ex-Calleotor Joseph B. Baker has address ad his sometime friend John enaeu, and ex Gar veyor John Hatuilton has, undoubtedly,. spoken over the wires to that distinguished patriot, James M. Mason, a large property-holder in German town, Philadelphia. What a mass of odd, wen - trio, and amusing information George N. Sanders must have sent over the telegraph ! He has un doubtedly sworn most expensive oaths, paying them himself sometimes, and char / stag them at others to the impoverished leaders whom he was inciting to ruin. Then the bankers and specula tors, who, fearing to write by mail, have adopted the electric line to be more confidential and safe— how much they have suggested and confided to their Southern companions and partners! The beat part of all this capture, however, is in the fact that it will serve to probe and prove the shmerity of many men in the free States, who are now making a sort of outside profession of dove-- UM: to the eovernment, either for the purpose of obtaining the patronage of the tiovernmout, or of securing its confidence in order to betray it to the Southern Confederacy. These men are trying to veneer over the rotten wood of their past record— to polish it with present promises, and to rely upon the fact that the decay and crime withinvill never be exposed to the public gaze. Unfortunately. for them, however, the deeeent upon the telegraph ornees will subject them to a double mutiny. They Cannot cheat two parties with this record before all men. My belief is that they are true to their original love—true to the seseding South, and therefore they cannot expect, to be tolerated In the loyal States. OCCASIONAL.

Raeraseproa, May 22 —At noon, today, en im mense liallentiflle Of enthusiastic people witnessed the ceremonies attendant on the raising of the American flag over the General Post 01110 e Build. ing. The President and hie Qabinet were seated on a platform (especially erected for their accommo dation,) together with several other distinguished gentlemen. Winona Bkinner, on behalf Of the oftloara and diorite of the department, opened the proceedings by addressing the President, saying, among other things, that they, in manifestation of their devo tion to the country, the Constitution, and the pro le/I'llo4n of the Union, had determined to rube over ihn building the glorious "stars and stripes," under which our forefathers bad fought, and under which flag they achieved our independence, and under which, it WAO now hoped, freedom would be perpetuated in all coming time. The clerks, he said, were prowl of the opportunity of testifying; to the President their fidelity and devotion to the Union, which they were determined to maintain to the end. Aud they would deem it the highest honor consistent with the occasion if he would condowend so miry the Rug to the most from which it is to float. The Praddent s baying advanced to the front platform. was entlieslasttoally greet.lci from the orowd below. The President Maid be wee very happy, on all occasions, to be the bumble instrument of for warding the very worthy objects which had just been expressed. Ile therefore took pleasure in performing th e part sashplea to lam, end, soppo alag that any extended remarks were cot expeoted from Wm, be would proceed at once to act his part. Ho then hoisted the flag by lb bawl over-hend movement, amid dosioning ohm°, accompanied by the waving of hats and of handkerchiefs by the ladies; the bands playing, in the meantime, the national anthem, " - The Scar-Spangled Banner." - The nog having been Medici to the Soh; " the three cheers and repeat" were given, tbo , pour pants of the neighboring trees, housetops, and win dows participating In the general deuronstnttion of joy. fll'ilECH OF THE 14111131DEET, The President again appeared on the front plat. form. saying It had motored to him that a few words would be appropriate to this oeoasion. Save. ral weeks ego the stars and stripes hung lankily shout their staff. all over the Union. go it vent! today, when this flag was first raised ; but this glorious breeze has unfurled it, and it now floats as it should. lib hoped the same breeze was now spreading oat our glorious flag all over the nation. The expression met with a general and enthusi astic response from the delighted multitude. SPEECH or . posrxesroit GlViltliAL BLAZE Postmaster General Blair, on behalf of the dicers and clerks of the Departments, thanked the as semblage for their presence. As the President bad said, it seemed for a time that the affections of the people for the flag had departed to one section of cur country ; bat this was a great error. The old flag is yet dear to all parts of the Union, and the people are coming forward everywhere to uphold and maintain it. It was not Imagoes of the beauty of its colors—it was not because of the stars and stripes on it: but bemuse it is immolated with all that is dear to Amortises freedom r and beeanse It is the emblem of-freedom and glory--the emblem of a popular Government, so deep in the hearte of the' nation. It Is for this r and this only, that the people are protecting it—not as a party, bemuse we have ceased to know party. [Cheers j We are no longer Democrats, Wbige, and Republican'.

Hang every one of them.] After further remarks he added : Disarm these conspirators, and these bouthern men, like you, will echo your voices in enthusiasm for the stars and stripes. As Mr Blair concluded he was lendly applauded by the multitude. Mr. Seward then responded to the impatient and oft-repeated calls for him, saying Fen.now-Crrizens : You here have known well the statesmen and orators of some of the Southern States. We have known their courage, and the courage, the spirit, and the resolution of the peo ple of ail the Southern States. But knowing all three, we knot,' two things which even they cannot do—one la to destroy Hail Volumbla, and the other is, to destroy the Stanspeogled Banner.

Other distinguished gentlemen were called for, but none advanced to address the patriotic and coe dited multitude. The baud again played the Star• pa n g e d Banner, and a number of Yokes joined in the words of the song.

The race of hietorinos, who told of battles and dynasties alone, has bean superseded by annalists ofeomprehentivenen and thought, whosejodgmant and research matte the peek what it should he—the guide of the proeeut. And so with the reporter, for local scribes who cannot f.,0 farther them an assailant or a HIM meet. ing are relies of a dead journalit.m. The reporter is the historian of to day ; and what men dank, as well as what men„ do, constitutes a legitimate branch of his duty. ROW PRIL&D6LrHIA THINKS UPON THH WAllt QUZIP It may be well, therefore, to detail the prevail lug eontimont of the city upon the limos now pre sented to Philadelphia, in common with the whole Union. And first upon the plain issue of war. Under MEI head the people Seem to be decided that government is a term which implies coercion. They believe that, in the exigency which has arisen, coercion is not simply a necessity, but a duty, which every iniptllSO of pstrioWm, yregervatien, and justice compels. Them are few, in feet, who pause to reason thus 'saintly upon the question of extinguishing this re l3ellion in blood i for they cannot forget the . .t the section which - Use delled the law MS also mantled lie flag and profaned ita honor. It is en impulse, rather than a painful duty, with the populace to Make war, and it is well that the 'seders of the people are grave and reve rend seigneurs, whose prudence is proof to hot headed wrath. The latter prefer to be scrupulous rather than vindictive, but the former are blood. thirsty and careless of means. There are many who fret that the Administration has not pushed its prudent purpose to resolve, and would, had the law no terrors, have taken long ago ponamar,- vengeance upon certain resident parties sweated of harboring traitorous aentimente and intents. The imprudence of snob finds foil in the admonl. bons of the rage and the law-abiding. The patri otiem of the two dame is equal ; the reel of the one infuses a due activity into the other, and thus the peace of the city le preserved, and the dignity of the law maintained. FROM CO'SSERVATIVE TO RADICAL '" It would be idle to assume, however, that any 'considerable portion of the people maintain their wonted calmness at this atlas. The people have felt the insult to their Government more than any `Private grievance, and thus it is that all party feeds have been submeTged In the strong loVe of - the nation. Politicians by profession look pain• fully at this single-mindedness, and some there are -who would make of the war an avenue to private profit. There are John Hooke today, who would ory " beef," and soulless folk would turn the ra tions of the volunteers into cash for their purses. But more remarked than any single change of sentiment ban been that from conservatism to radicalism. In this matter the defection of the South has ef fected more with the Northern mind than all the ravings of pseudo philanthropy for the last twenty years. Philadelphia, which from ite position, was always at least as much of Southern as of Northern feeling, counts among the late oonrerts to roaloolirm come of Ito etouncitom oitizene. Let the safety of the South consult with its fanaticism for an embittered North is not more hardy than flog, and fog all iliSpeatd, in t h .ea tittioe of civil struggle, to be of haif•way mind. FRAM AND SCIttPLEB SHAKE UO A prevailing topic of goasip hag recently been the attilude of the Boropean Bowen toward the disaffected States. Resent advisee from the Bast have made the timorous fearful, and oast upon this contest, in the estimation of all, a more formidable hoe. But the mats of citizens seem to believe that Buglbh gatemen, who may wish from our division to seek their natural aggraisti/xement, will be over rated by the people of Britain, whose sympethies with the North and ~itl, freedom They seem; likewise, to conoliade that if matters ahould grow complicated, and this issue become a double, or even a triple one, the republic is a match for all enemies. he far as we have observed, the people seem to be unanimous for the maintenance of the Southern blockade, be the consequences whet they may, _ °H 11 ate IN 16A11.15 TO Plecin.vrios.

The people suprae the uttnort indignation at rub rumors, and threats, not loud but deep s ere muttered against the sorlsorad portairatair of contract frauds. There la also much dieaffeotion espreared'with regard to the arrangement' of the committee having charge of the fond for the wives of voice tears. We can find few who have received any min of money from thie committee, and its inef ficiency .acme to be generally admitted.
