The greatest recoil of the measure has been against Lord John Russell personally. His speech, atoolotic and vindicatory, bf.his own course, is the'reply U y.ur. cballenge, and it proves hat he will persist in his policy to tb "bitter eni," and is even ready to dverstep tha laws n drder to avoid offence to the Washington gov ernment, j The delivery of this speech is too re rfnf nTnit m tn inform vou of Ensrlish sen timent in relation to it. The commentary of the Titnts will show that even that oosequious echo of the ministry does not accept and reiterate Lord -Russell's views, without a protest ; and should he venture to carry into execution the threat he has made of violating the law and ask ing a bill pf indemnity from Parliament, the experiment may cost bim his place, the sympa thy of the British people for us, growing strong- r every day, and in the same, ratio as their an tipathy for. the Yankees. To foster and increase ' thtse favorable dispositions, I have caused va rious publications.to be made in England on the Iopics of cotton.' slavery, the oath of allegiance, edtral fabrications, and kept np 4 a running fire hrough the English press.. Some of these pub lications shall be sent . you i by the first opportu ; nitv which presents for sending packages. rapid increase of Federal recruitment in Ireland attracted much attention,- and I deemed It ad visable to visit that country to see anything could be done to check it. ( During three we ks residence, chiefly in Dublin, wjth a visit to BeL. fast in the North of Ireland, I succeed d in un-. masking and exposing taxs enemy s battery, and Senlisted the aid of some powerful auxiliaries m - the press and pulpit to rop this crutl and cow Wily crimpiag of recruits? under pre-ext of em rplotmenton Northern railways. M.any knew the real nature of the services required of them ; U.ut many more we? e entrapped by premise of Ihih waes ; their contracU containing a clause tht they Would take the preliminary- "oath of .renunciation" on their arrivaUn America.--1 This at once would .make them subject to the ' j draft. Another drag put upon them wa the 1 cxhortaUon to the Women ; to accompany their nusoanas, as mo " -o , , , ' I so that the Yankees:now get a good deal of dross I with iheir rood 'metal.". The number of actual , recruit thus obtamea irom jjtciu F . ! I vear, up to August, cannot have exceeded twen ' 1 ty thousand able bodied men, but has probably reached that figure. . When the harvest time is ;over the Yankees hope to make a grand haul, f uut we hope their nets will tot hold. The' men I cf inteUgence, who see the drain thus made of the very tone and sinew of the -country, resist ! it from nnlicr and natriotism. -i The priests, wn are generally consc:entous and earnest noen, and who live on voluntary contrioutipns of their parishioners are also bent on arresting the ex odus. The only party favorsble to the Yankees is the silly and' mischievous clique of dema gogues who style themselves VYoung Ireland rs' of whom Gen.

Both pf these facts are fully confirmed by my friend, Dr. Girard, who speaks of your kindness to him in the most enlhusiatic terms, and he has relieved my apprehensions that, like our firifgreal leader, Calhoun, your body might prove unequal to the burden your spirit, imposes upon it. , - ' For the sake of the cauae, as well as for the sake of .those tha( love you, it is e-sential that you 'should cot overtask your strength, for every day has convinced me more and more '.that we have no Joshua to take your place and,, lead us inter Canaan, if that place were rendered vacant.

As I ventured to give counsel with reference to an important public movement, I feel bound frankly to say what I . am not warranted in em bodying in a despatch; especially sincbeing informed by Mr. B. tbarthere' were reasons and proceedings out here of which I bad not been informed.

This I think; would- have produced a most happy effects The isolatdry ac tion which has been taken has not the same wA'obt and pravitv. and has been . attributed more to -personal pique against a small minis terand to Impatience of recognition, than to the calm consciousness of strength or to delibe rate and settled policy. ; r v ,A general measure would have sown suspif v.4miii iVia ixsrn o-rot nnwers.- Each WCHlld fanrod - a ecret negotiations with the otner.

THE GREAT JOHNSON'S ISLAND PLOT A CANA- DIAN ORGANIZATION TOR WAR AQAIKST THE . UNITE 8TATSVJ LORD. XTON3 JUMPS OUT OF BED AT MIDNIGHT. v The Johnsrn'sj island plot has loomed up into a conspiracy of gigantic dimensions. Major Gene ral D'tx, who was ordered to Buffalo, N. Y., ar rived tbfra on the Inight f the 15th instant. A largo force of infantry and two batteries of artil lery were sent to JoL neon's Island on Thursday, and eight bundscd men of the 12th Ohio cavalry left Cleveland op Friday for the ama place. A report obtains is Buffalo that a tunnel had been dircivered from; the prironers' quaftrs on the island to some woods several hundred fot ds tant, and about nx hundred muskets found con cealed in it. Tipe pic t is said to have been to seize-tbe Unfttd States steamer Michigan and two of the New York Central propellers, and make A'raid upon the thirprng. Additional in formation shows! thair design to-burn aVd .Iay waste" the cities of Buffalo,' Cleveland, Detroit, and -every other town . irm Ogdensbur to Chi cago, and to obliteratVontirely tfie comooeree.bf Lake Erie. VallaudiLam, James CJay and Marshal Kane aro said to have been, the "arch- corspirators.' Reports from Sandusky saythnt everything is qu;tt in that vicinity, and that alt the preparations are made to guard against daiw ger. v Tbre were bo indications .on the "part of the rebel pri-oners at Johnson's Island of an in- tentisn,to eacare. The Washington Star says that Hon'. Preston King was despatched to Montreal 9n the 14tb, to confer, with the'Canadiaa authorities relative to tho Mliesrpd plft. The Detroir,Vre Press gives the following frjghtened exposure of the plots f I" ; ' ' - " , The scheme is worthy the ingenuity ahd auda city of tEe rebl leaders, and if it is cot fully suc cessful, it will be in consequence of the vigilance of the officers oi tho GjVernment, assisted by the detectives whom, they have employed in-ferreting out and bringing it to light. xlie scneme com prehends no less than the seizure or Detroit and its occupation during the winter, and the organi zation of a rebel army to taka the field in tha spring as an 'active invading forca against Michi gan, Ohio and Indiana. ; Tfce public may foel a Very natural curiosity to know now tnis-is to oe done. ' " ..'' " . ; It is estimate that there are in the neighbor nz provinces of Canada not leas than one hun dred thousand sable-bodied men; refugees from the Southern States "and deserters from the Union armie?, wbo Are we'l drilled, and may m a shor time be organised into an army ef thoroughly disciplined soldie; s. It is kriowi that they are already pinched with want, and it is oalculated that as the sfasf n advances they will bedrivea by ddstitution to any desperate adveni.ure tnat pro- mises reiiei irom suiriiuii "u oawouio.. aucso men are relied upon to furnuh the material, for the enterprise. ltreit is selected as the field pf operations from ,its nearness to the Canadian. fronlierand nence its lacmty or communication not only for. procuring men and supplies, but also' doubtlesi as affording a tolerably safe means of escaie to the leaders of tba movement in case of disaster. ' ; .. . :. . . - ,.- T ' , A necessarv part of the Scheme is a - r. aval force.- How is this to ba procured ? will ba asked, f If bur information is I correct, it is already at band. . Everv kme.wiH call to mind the frequent mention in the leleerapluc despatches of -the, es. cape of blockade runners from the port of WH-f- mington, and; their arrival at-iinuiax. ine vessels, most of them, are compactly built, swi, light draught -steamers. . Besides the supplies of Cotton and other articles of commerce, taken from the rebel ports, they qarrv regular commifsioner as part of the Confederate Navy, and such aroia mentas Is suited to their trnDa?;e and capacity. The fact of their coming from a Confederate port bearing tbesei commissioners,, will relieve them from the objections urged ' against Britisb-built vessels, like the Alabama and others, which have never touched at a port uaer reb 1. juris diction: - " ' : I - - : " Tfieee vessels, after having procured wht sup- nly-s thev could at Halifax without violating tne neutrality law.are to start ofetensibly on a cruise, bat wi'l make their way directly up the St. Lawrence, through Like Ontario, the VVeUand o.rtil. s'nd Lafce Orie. and takinz Dosition in the river opposite. Dairoit, demand iU unconditional surrender. , i . This plot is entirely consistent with tner lately discovered conspiracy in Cincinnati to seize the steamer Michigan and release tne prisoners con- fined on Johnson's Island, in oanausKy Day, anu that conspiracy was doubtless a part, though by no means aece?ssry part, of it. The plot is a novel one, but it must be confdssed not tnore rash than dany warlike enterprises tnat, meci.wn.u succese. The ,deftncele?s condition of ur lake coast, and towns net "only sugfsts, but invites some such enterprise, and Detrt, from 'Us locas tion, seams beet adapted tor its execution. , A dispatch from Washington says ; - . It is understood -hrre from Cana&t that Val landigham', Henry Clay's beautiful son James, and ; that pardoned villian, Marshal Kane, had fully arranged for passing through the We!?and canal an armod steamer whose mission was: -piratTVi onen the nriscn. doors for captive rAh!at Sindnskv bay.
