LONDON, 1171DIVMDAY, JAN. 8.

Wc have now the detailed news brought from the
United States by the Europa. The extracts given
in our general summary of intelligence may be
relied on rei faithfully exhibiting both the inten-
sity of the public excitement and the prevalence
of the conviction, so general as to be almost univer-
sal, that any sacrifice must be made to preserve I
peace with England.
But together with this highly interesting and 1
valuable information are nungled statements
founded on half-knowledge, or born of the
necessity of satisfying the public thirst for news,
which, iiiisrepreeeuting the proceedings of
Lord 1.1.41XA and the probable course of
diplomacy. are calculated to confuse, if not mis-
lead. A very few words will suffice to prevent mis-
conception, The New York papers speak of a
settlement of the matter by an apology in the
form of an assurance that the seizure of the Con-
federate
Commissioners was not authorised by the
Government of the United States. Such an assur- I
ante, however, was given more than a fortnight '
ago, and although there was every reason
in fact and policy for accepting it, alone
it was, of course, insufficient. The turning point
of the whole difficulty wall the restoration of
Messrs. SLIDELL and Mason to the protection of
the tag from under which they had been illegally
taken. This reparation not having been conceded
to the informal representations of our Ambaeuidor,
a categorical requisition was presented, and a time
was fixed by Lord LYONS for the delivery of •
reply. The magnitude of the interests depending
on the DELDI of this controversy, and the conse-
quent urgency of a settlement, hes given unusual
importance to dates. The public will therefore
learn with interest that Lord Lroxii, after com-
municating Earl KVESELL'E despatch, aligned
the 30th of December as the day until
which he would wait for an answer.
a satisfactory reply not be received by that
date, our Minister would immediately withdraw
with the Legation. Up to the morning of the
26tb, to which date intelligence from Lord LYONS
has been received, no answer had been returned
by the American Government. On the previous
day. however, M. Mrav•ue, the French Minister
at Washington, crimmunicated to Mr. Szvraan
the note of M. THouvanst, which has been
already published. The intelligence now received
thus brings us within five daysof •crisis. The steamer
Jura, which was to leave Portland on the 28th, is
due at Londonderry to-day, and it is perhaps just
physically possible that she may bring decisive
news obtained at Cape Race ; but every probability
is against such an arrival. The steamer Americs,
which was to leave New York on New Year's-
day, and is duo at Queenstown on Monday
next, the 13th, will certainly inform us either
that Lord Leos, has left Washington, or that
Yews. Massa and SLIDELL are given up.
The general intelligens* by the imps presents
to us the picture of an extremely susceptible people
in • state of high excitement. 'There is no room
now for the distinction between the nation and the
mob. Men of various classes and different stages
of culture and experience are of course variously
affected by it, but all are amazed and most are
indignant. There is nothing in our just demands
of satisfaction for the honour of our insulted flag
that can explain this, nothing in their matter or the
manner in which they have been preferred. But the
real character of the proceedings of our Govern-
ment has been obscured and perverted. Not by
their press, we are bound to say, but by a portion
of ours, and that portion which loves to vaunt
itself on its superiority to the preen of the Re-
public. The American people, se we see them at
this moment, are under the maddening influence of
all the wilful misrepreaeutations, all the malevolent
aasumptions, and all the vulgar taunts which some
of our newspapers think they can employ, and yet
preserve their title to be supercilious about the
" mob." It would be childish to look closely
into the language which a people bolds whim it is
almost delirious with vexation. The Americans
cannot just now do jistice to our procedure.
They are not calm enough to redact that
if the English people were as selfish
and sordid as some of their journals,
our national policy would have been very different
from that of which the whole world is • witness.
But we may learn how the relations of free nations
are poisoned, perhaps for ages, when, as in this
case, every art has been employed to make a just
demand assume the appearance of a brutal aggro.
Mon. Those wbo have been busy at this kind of
work, as they read the Europa's mail may rub their
hands with fiendish glee. If they do not gain
their immediate end, if the present occasion of
war is avoided—as the determination of the
American public seems to make certain—it will
be owing to the fact, confounding as it
is to the calumniators of popular institutions,
that the United States never had a goverment so
independent of the mob, because so strongly sup-
ported by the citizens, ea it has at present, and
because even at the height of an unexampled ex-
citement the nation preserves it. power of self-
restraint. All the voices which reach us from
.liuerica exclaim that every sacrifice must and will
be made for puma.
