EUROPEAN CORRESPONDENCE.
To be continued.

Much curiosity is felt to learn the purport
of the answer which Lord Aberdeen has sent
to Mr.. iStevenson's last note. Our late min
lister discharged his shot only Two days previ.
GUS TO his embarkation in the Great Western
for America. Lord Aberdeen has consequent
ly transmitted his reply to Mr.. Everett. Mel
thcr country will suffer by the change in their
representatives. The Earl who presides over
the Foreign Department. is as superior TO Lord
Palmerston in all the requisites Of a statesman,
us the accomplished and learned. Everett is ac-
know,edgedly above the puffed-up, but rather
weak-headed gentleman who lately had the
honor of representing the American people at
the first Court in Europe. By the by, am
glad to be able 10 state, that no more decisive
rebuke can be given of the pertness, fippan-
cy, and undiplomalic character Of Lord Pal
merston's last note to Mr.. Stevenson, than has
been administered by some leading British
Journals have also taken occasion to state
publicly, that if British Minister had used
xuch understandable and insolent language

use in his last words and dying Speech flor
he went our of Office two days afterwards) to
the American Minister in London, he would
probably have been politely furnished with his
passports forthwith; and oil opportunity given
to The government at home TO send represen-
fative who would not forget the courtesy and
respect which it becomes nations to maintain
in aaeir intercourse with each other. Now,
those who are blinded by partisan prejudice in
favor of Lord Palmerston, admit that such
would have been the treatment of similar pre-
sumption. Unquestionably Lord Aberdeen
would not condescend for a moment 10 hold
terms with any foreign minister who should SC
insult the government Of which he is a mem.

Lord Ashburton's appointment is regarded
here, on the whole. as the harbinger of friend

persons al home, who are accustomed 10 make

Bankers, &c. But the weli-informed and can

has beea always distinguished by his friendl,
feelings 20 the United States. So early as th'
year 1908, he took conspicuous part in re
