English Sentiment On The American Blockade

The I3altimor# correspondent of the New York Herald says : " A letter f'roin a mcmber of the British Parliament was recoivcd by a gentleman in this city, a few days ago, which I have beea pertnitted to read. Parliament will meet on the 20th of this montli, and the writer gays thero is no doubt that the (juestions arising out of the present unhappy condition of America will be frecly diseussed in that body. He s&ys the agents of the Confedérate governineut in London have caused to be priuted aud scut to each niember of Pariaraent a pamphiet of eight pagea " On the blockade of the Southeru Ports," in which the ground is taken that the blockade is not and never has been effective, and supported by alleged facts, which, if true, establish that position. The writer of that letter thinks that this and other efforts of the Confedérate agents thero will add weight to the dispositina which already prevaiis among a inajority of the members of Parliament to take such action as will iuduco the English governmeut, in connection with the governmeiits of Franee and Spain, to open tlic eptton ports of the South. He says the English newspapers have not told half the distress aud sulfering thero exista in England, uot alone among the wofking people, but also among other classes, resulting trom a want of cotton and consequent stopping of mauufactories. He says that when Parliament weets th voice of the Euglish people on this subject will be so loud that no niember of that body will dare to disrogard it ; and hc thinks that if by that time the Union armies have uot achieved some decided success, and thus afforded grouuds for the )elief that the United States government will open the ports of the South to the commerce of the worid, those ports will be opened as abovc iudicated." All this shows the necessity of aeíiieving speedily some great successes, in ordtr to avoid Jiuropean complications.
