LATENT PHASE OF ENGLISH PUBLIC SENTI? MENT ON IHK ALABAMA. CLAIMS. TUE LONDON PRESS WAK BS UP AT LAST. Highly Interesting Analysis of the Pres? ?nt State of British Party Peeling. The important oable telegram to tho New York Tribune foroniuuiowing a triplo alliance of England, Franco and Spain, against the United States, seems tobe rather lightly treat? ed by the Northern press. Tho Tribune, itself, alluding to it editorially, says : "The report looks so much liko the rumor likely to bo bred even in official cirolos, by tho passion? ate anger of which tho beginnings aro so graphically traced in the letter from our Lon? don correspondent, that there may bo some reason for delaying a fall belief in it." Tho Tribune correspondent, it must be remona bored, is no mere sentimental ?crib bl er, but a cool, sagacious and experienced obaoiver of the drift of English politics and publie opin? ion; and the letter above referred to throws much light upon the rccont chango of feeling in England towards the United States, which probably led the way to tb o tri?lo alliance ne? gotiation, if Buoh indeed has taken place. We reproduce the more interesting portions of tho letter in question. An Kx plosion of Anger, fborrcppondonce cf tho NOA York Tribune.] LO?IDON, April 30.-The response- to Mr. Sunnier'? speech, delayed tor three days, has como at last with mich au exp io ,10 ti of angol? as lias not been hoard for m my a month, lt bas stirred that kind ul ra go which rises in the breast of a mau who lindi humed sudden- ' ly summoned to make a complete reparation for acts ot the guilt of whioh ho is consoious, I i but the consequences ot which he had hoped j to escape. In private, there is no limit to tho grohs epithets bestowed on Mr. Sumner. In publio he is tho object of a vind otivo denuncia? tion almost without, limits. I ?hall not think it worth while to pav much attention to the attacks of journals which we have long known as enemies. Indeed, they are comparatively j moderate. The most vehement abuse comes 1 now from some of our old friends. Hut they, ; too, must wait till I have given an account of a demonstration from another quarter. * | Among all the replies elicited by Mr. Sum- j ncr a speech, that of the Pall Mall Gazette is ( by far the most remarkable and most import- ( ant. It is, indeed, one of the most remarka- * ble articles ever printed in any newspaper. I . have said in* a formei letter that there are t three daily journals in London so con-picuous t for ability as to form a c ass by themselves. 'J hey are the Times, the Daily News and the Pall Mall Qazette. It happens also that each , 0! the three represents a distinct class. Tho ? Times speaking for that great seotion which r possesses acquired wealth-tho P.utocraoy, as \ Mr. Gold win Smith has named lt; tho Daily 8 News representing modern Liberalism, and the n ball Mail Gazette being distinctly tho organ of n tho English Oligarchy, by wbioh I mean the 0 ruling class, composed mainly of what is call- ? ed tho aristocracy, and for th) moat port pos- a Bossing pioperty in land. It is the class j, which is predominant in socio y as well as in v politics, which gives the tone to the cubs, aud v from winch officers ot the army and the ..avy ire mostly recruited. Politsoilly, und for con? venience sake, it divides itself into Liberal and Donsetvative. like that well-known New Eng? land famiiy whioh invested, us Theodore Par? lor said, ono son in each political party. Spite d all political reforms, spite of the startling muvth" pt tho tnpro rtnry?W ?ww-: ":*"-* "T, . c t is sun tue lauded aristocracy of Great Bn ain which tules Great Britain, and it ?B this I ;roat power of which the Pall Mall Guzef te, nore than any other one journal, is tbe repre- , , lentative. 1 explain this at seme length bs- " sause I want to impress upon American read- \ - irs the importance ot the declaration whijh it ms made on the Alabama question. What is this declaration ? In the first place . he Pall Mall Gazette says, frankly, it is glad 1 be speech has been made, and for two reasons : >ecause, first, it will bring home to Engl leh? nen what the American demand really amounts o-and this demand is estimated at ?500.000,000 n monet ; whioh seems to be tho only English [ H va> of estimating anything. It welcomes the tpeech, secondly, because it will strengthen .he hands of tbe government in declining to ?egotiate any further, it has hild all along ;hat Lord Stanley and Lord Clarendon ought x> have made it dear to Mr. Reverdy John- | 8 ion "that in arguing the question of recog lition he was simply wasting h's breath." Slr. Sumner has now shown what will be the ( ; on sequences of discussing the question i >f negotiation-a bill for five hundred mil- ] ions sterling damages. Hence, says the Ga? zette, "either we must acknowledge that the jivil war was as much our work aa the South's 11 md meekly accept the consequences, or we mast abandon the hope of bringing the Ameri- t ian people into a more friendly attitude toward Alis country. As even the extremest Northern 1 sympathizer will hardly go the lengths de? manded by Mr. Sumner, we may hope that the opinion of Englishmen will be practically I ! mammons in favor of the latter course." That 1 ' s, in so many words, the Gazette hopes aU Englishmen will agree to abandon the hope of Ming friends with America. . The can be but one logical cone. <tfon to mon* premise, and the F?U Mail Gazette does iot shrink from drawing it. The pith and rorpoae of its whole article, and of what is to ?e henceforth it? poiioy, are Condensed into jne cogent statement: .The paramount consideration s which should trovera the present policy of this country to? ward the United States, are the fruitlessness it further negotiations, and the necessity af being prepared tar war." It would be a total mistake to suppose that this is said hastily, or is the effect of irritation un reading Mr. Sumner's speech. I think it beyond doubt that the very able and remarkably sagaoious conductors of this journal long since resolved on this policy, and nave waited only tor a suitable occasion to do clare it. Mr. Sumner's speech furnishes the occasion. By thia declaration the Pall Mall Gazette has put itself at tbe head of a move? ment destined, I behove, to go far and do much before its end is reached. This is, in fact, the revival of that old party which longed for the destruction of the Republic by the re? bellion. Had the Pall Mall Gazette been in existence at that time, it would have been the rival of tho Time? for tba leadership of that party. Now, by a single article, it haa achieved the diet ino! ion which then it might have struggled for in vain. It takes the lead of the strong, resolute and clear-sighted party which wants a war with America. The reasons why snob a party should exist are numerous, and, to an English mind, of great weight. Commerce and letters have, in these days,, so turned the minds of men away from strife, that the majority of this, as of other civilizod nations, is dearly opposed to ?rar for ita own aake. -But thora ia always a powerful minority wbioh finds itself able to re? gard war as a thing desirable for ita own aake. A standing army ia such a manifest nuisance tl.at it o m lot but be impatient for an oppor? tunity to justify and protract it* exisUnoe. The ai my wanta a war, therefore, and ?he navy aa well. Tho ?ffleera Of both teiViceB belong to the ruling aristocracy, and'influenco it strongly. The military tone is always percepti? ble in sadety. Now. tbs army has not duce1 anv very brilliant things for a long time, And it feels the necessity of restoring its cid pres? tige; It must regain ita lost ground, or it can? not m ch longer be kept up au a nursery and as a convenient method o? pensioning upon the public the younger members Of the land? owning class., Mr. Bright long agb described the foreign policy of England-resulting 'an lt did in fr?quent wars, which made the army seem a necessity-aa "a gigantic system of ont-doo? relief for tho aristocracy." The sting ofthat tremendous sarcasm lay in its truthful? ness. M'S : : ?till stronger, per bans, is the second reason: the d?sir? ot the ruling clues tor war as a means of postponing the agitation of the sub? ject-classes tor reform and tor a ahnro of politi? cal, power. Tho, numerous .broads, .ahreadv m H de upon their old monopoly baie filled with 'Wm ijtheiwelt may. tba minds of th? real loaders *>f thia ruling class.- Tht?v despair of resisting the tendency of the ago and tho foro ? of publio opinion, lr only ordin?rv obstacles can be interposed. Bat let a war break out above sil, a war against t ie Power which both std. s regard as the symbol snd embodiment of popular rights-and tb? case is Immensely altered. So long as the war lasts, poMioal agitation must stop. The public mind can? not bo turned in that direction, and if it could, would be slow to follow the lead of aa enemy. 80 long as the war lasts, tho war will be the solo business of Parliament, and tbo administrativo and represivo power of government will bo concent tated and aug? mented. Tbe growth of what aro callod Ame? rican-that is, Democratic-id*as will bo check? ed. If a war against America should be suc? cessful, they would be put back, no man knows bow long, just as tbey would have been bad the rebellion succeeded in breaking up the Union. I always thought the aristocratic class of Great Britain logically right in sym? pathizing with tho South, and desiring the dis? solution of a republic which is a standing men? ace to every oligarchy in tho world. From their poiut of view, tliey are equally right now in preferring a war to a polioy of concession or conciliation. bt rone est of all is the reason springing trom the relation of England at this moment to the other European powers. Sho lias sunk from the rank of a first rate to a second rate oower so far, at least, as Continental affairs are con? cerned. Bismarck, in hisepigrammic way, ut? tered no more than a common opinion when, in reply to some Eoglish criticism on his policy, he said, "If I were an Abyssinian, or a Hindoo, or even an Amerioan, 1 might, per? haps, care what England thinks. But boing a European, I do not." A year or two since Matthew Arnold was bitterly reviled for tolling bis countrymen, the same humiliating truth, in language scarcely less conoise and contempt? uous. The causes of her inferiority are moro Iban one, but Luropo knows that if all other causes were removed England dare not fight while the Alabama remains a precedent, and loaves her commerce a prey to privateers issuing from neutral ports. Now a power that does not fight is no longera pow r. She may still bo summoned to European Congresses -so is Turkey. Her envoys may be listened to with an affectation of respect-so was the envoy of Greece. But the moment will oome when each country of Europe has to supnort its counsel wit 1 tho -woid. Frauco will throw hers toto one scale, Prussia hers into another, and on one side or tbe other Russia will fling hers, and probably Austria hers, and evou italy hers. But lang? land 1 England knows, and Europe knows, that in that Bupreme moment the power which j sed to Bubsidizo one-half the continent and krbt th? other, must abandon the place which .he has ceased to be able to maintain by loree. She must renounoe ber poli tied authority and melter herself bobind an impotent neutrality. There are men iu both parties, like Mr. Bright ind Loni Stanley, who look forward oontented ?r to such an hour, but the mass of Englishmen o uo';. The ruling oligarchy has here the sup? port of an undoubted majority. They do not vant to resume che old system of perpetual titer erenoo, but they want to be fr<>o to de? llaro war when interest or bonor bid them. Uouscious that they are fettered by the uuset ,led claim of America, yet resolute not to nake reparation, they seem to hayo detormin id on the only otber course which can restore o England unchecked freedom of actio,j. Th r v >roposeto fight Amenos first in order to be at iberty to figut somebody else afterward. They re not less anxious to be rid of the 1llab ima lifficnlty in order to deal with the Fenian movement, but on that I need, not dwell. V hnt ever may bo thought of the probable re ult of such a policy, it is at least intelligible nd coherent, and the existence of such a parly .fiords a sufficient explanation of the attitude .ssomod by such a tournai as tho Pall Mall lazette. We ara indeb.o l to that journal for nnounoing publicly the purp >se wliich has ong been brooded over in pi 1 vate. It is a fair raming, which wa cannot afford to n c gleet or 1ud.err.1te.

The accounts tl at reach us from tho interior of the State, with regard to tho condition of the upland cotton crop, are ?uuorally of a dis? couraging character, Tho sea island crop seems to have sustained much less injury, and in most ciaos tho planters report a fair stand. The Chester Importer save : The effect? of the cold jah'd frosts of last week have proved to bo much moro disastrous tbaD we first apprehended, .' he Btand cf cot? ton on a great many plant ttions has been en? tirely destrovod, aud tue planters aro plough? ing up and planting over again. Tho difficulty about this course, though; is the scarcity of seed. Wo have been informed of several men, who plant largelv, that nave been riding sever? al days through the country on the hunt for seed to replant their crops with, bub thus far without HiicVofs. It migat well be asked if this is a real or seeming disaster. If jottou seed cannot be procured, and the lands pre? pared for citron are planted in corn, this, which wo now regard as a istreak ot bad luck, will, before twelve month -, be regarded as a blessing in disguise. Cotton, our boisted strength, will prove in the future, as it has in the past, to be tue great eletuont of our Weak? ness. The YorkviUe Enquirer tells us: Tbc frost of last week did niore damage than waa at firm expected, though, im effroi j, so far as we hnvo learn.'d, wore con lined to cotton. A groat dial of tue cotton which had come up wa? killed. In some places it was merely thinned out to a moderato Haul, but in most cases, wo fear, so much was killed as to re? quire planting again, This is a H nous mis? fortune, as aced ts unusually scarce tins sea? son. Fortunately, tboto waa compari ively a small portion of the oroc* up it the lime of tho frost (the3J instant,) and what has since come up is looking well. There was, however, another frost on tho morning of Saturday last, which may finish tho business. A correspondent in Camdon writes us the folliwing: The stand? of cotton are not good, the cold weather having de-itroyeJ the tender plants to a considerable ox out. fte J to replant is scarce. Tho weather is still cool aud unfavorable for tho season. NORTH CAROLINA. ThaTarboro' (N. C.) Southerner says: Mournful accounts reach us from the coun? try in regard to tbe great darna <e done to ihe cotton crop by the late cold weather. A largo prop rtion of the ootto t already up Ins boen killed, and il is seriously feared that the seed iu the ground bas been so injured aa to be ut? terly worthless. Though noe too late to re? plant, yet most of our farmers are unprovided with seed. Assiduous efforts are boing ra ide to obtain a supply from other sections, bul, we learn, with indifferent success, as most of the seed has been used in planting and for com? posting. A number ot farmers are already engaged in ploughing up and planting corn. FLORIDA. The Ocala (Pla.) Banner cf the 8th instant, alluding to tho appearance nf the caterpillar in that State, says : We gavo but little credence to the report at first, thinking it m -rely a ruse to raise the price of cotton, which hud fallen trom e<gbty couts to forty cents per pound. But the state? ments of reliable gentlemeu who had seen the animal himself, and the injury he is inflicting, placo the truth ot' the matter beyond a doubt, i he pilguo is really upon us, und in such power and force as to leive but little prospect ahead of a good crop ot the Maple. Il seems that we have taken a loase of this insect, aud that be is disposed to bido by the terms nomi? nated io the bond, aud will not abate a jot or tittle of his power. - X?C Hambridge (t^^f'?i-goi Bays : The growing crops in this Hectiou, thus far, bave met with no serious inj iny from any ? source, if we except too great baste in putting the cotton seed into the ground, in apprehen- ' sion ot the caterpillar, winch last season de? stroyed all the Ute cotton. On account of the cold*spells of weather last mooth, some com? plain that their cotton has failed to come up regularly, causing a poor stand. But, all things considered, cotton is doing well, espe cialiy in the uplands. A letter to the Macon Journal and Messen? ger, from Sumter County, Georgia, Bays: The impression that our people are planting all cotton and but little corn, is a mistake. I have never belore seen the crops more equally divided. Half corn and half cotton is nearly every man's motto. Should the season be favorable, corn will be lower than it has been for ten years, lt is generally manured, and the stand never better. It is yet too early to sav much about cotton. Planting will bo gene? rally finished next week. There will not be any more land in ootton in Southwestern Geor? gia this year than there was last year. Ai ASAMA. We gather the following items from our Ala? bama exchanges : The Wilcox Vindicator says: Ootton cannot be replanted now with assur? ance of a successful orop, for if late, tue worm and the cold will out it short. Many of our planters have hundreds of acres under water, and by the time the water recedes and their landa are in a condition to replant, it will be too late for ootton. Ihe late spring this un? expected ireshet. the difficulty of labor, all combine and conspire to make oar planters gloomy. The Chester Herald says: It is almost a general complaint among the planters that their cotton is dying out as fast as it com s up. S j ver al who a Tew days ago bad a good stand of cotton, now say that they have not one-fourth of a stand. The Haynevdle Examiner says: The crop prospects in Lowndes are as bad as they could be. The rains of last week deluged us tor five days, washing the newly ploughed ground in a chocking way wherever tho land is at all rolling. Much of the lowlands will not be in a condition for work for several days yet, and even the highest is thoroughly soaked. It has caused a wei k of idleness at a very criti? cal time. It will give tho grass a start along with, the cotton. The Monroe Eagle says z Some of our farmers have abandoned the low? lands and taken to the uplands. We fear the scarcity of ootton seed will prevent araoh land from being replanted in cotton. IOOISIAlU. The Monroe (La.) Intelligencer of the 5th saya: From What'We hear of planters, tho crops <af corn and cotton have severely suffered from the continued rains. The stands of corn and ootton are but poor, and the rains . bave caused the gras? to spring up very fast, and now many of our planters, being short of hands, are expe? riencing considerable difficulty in o Moppin g out the grass. , ,.
