English Views the United States-Ee-
neral Taylor In London.
In another portion of our paper will be found
several articles the politics and prospects of this
country, extracted from the London journals re-
ceived by the last steamer. We have already
given several articles General Taylor, from the
Tunes newspaper. These articles reflect the views
OF all shades of party in England, and they should
be read with much attention at this time when the
public mind of this country is so deeply and power
fully agitsted by the SUBJECTS of which they treat.
Il is worthy of note, that all those journals com
eide, both in the desire and the belief, that the
election that takes place Tomorrow will result IN
the triumph If General Taylor. The impression
prevails in the press of Great Britain, that Genera
Tsylor's administration will not, to any great ex-
tent disturb the fiscal policy matured by Mr. Folks
cabinet, and that he will, from inclination aud the
force of circumstances, pursue passive conserva-
tive course, guarding the Union from all change,
as well IN its internal policy in Its foreign rela-
tons. Mr.. Case, on the other hand, they regard
az chershIng such deep-rooted prejudice towards
England, as to afford reasonable ground for appre-
henson that his official bearing towards that
country would be anything but of pacific
character.
The deep interest in American affairs evinced
by the press OF Great Britain-an interest," the evil
publication of numerous articles on the affairs of
this country, but in the closeness with which the
various questions involved in the pending election
are argued and examned-proves that the United
States are assuming an importance In the eyes Of
both the people and the rulers of that country
which they are afraid to confess, which they can
not deny, and which is but the foreshadowing Of
that thorough revolution, the beginning of which
is already, and the end of which no man can FORE
see. Rapid as has been the French revolution,
and startling as have been its incidents, there has,
nevertheless, been going on in England revou.

circumstances of the country into account,) and

are silently and quietly preparing the minds of
the people, and for this purpose they resort
to tt. press Of the United States for those

treason in them to utter, except at secondhand.
Accordingly, we find the English journals quot

eloquent than words, the sentiments Of the press
of this country. The English people are thus being
gradually accustomed to the truths of republican.
