The NEW YORK HERALD IN EuRorE.-We per-
ceve thet Mr.. Wa rir, the Partisan correspondent
Of one Of our cotemporaries, states that In Presse
the leading journal IN the capital of France, in all
Its comments on American affairs, takes for its
authority the New York Herald and Its cores
pondenis. Whether this statement is meant by
the Partisan correspondent a compliment TO us,
or not we can't answer; but il is well known
fact that the New York Herald Is the only Ameri-
can journal that has any extensive and miscella-
neous circulation in Europe and throughout the
civilized world Wehave known, for many years,
that the leading journals Of London and Paris, al
though they receive American journals, both whig
and looofoco, from this country, never place any
confidence in their statements, exaggeratons OF
facts, or opinions, but generally adopt the calm,
philosophical, temperate and comprehensive views
gwen TO them through the columns of our journal.
On many occasions we have beea compmented
by the leading journals e Europe aud elsewhere,
for the unprejudiced and unillnchng statements,
comprehensive and easily understood, which are
given IN our columns, explaining all public Affairs
on this side Of the water.
The great bulk Of independent thinkers on this
side Of The water. appreciate the views and Ibors
of the New York Herald in precisely the same
light as they are looked upon by the rest Of the
world. There IL, however, certain class OF our
ootemporanes, who, from jealousy OF rivalry, have
endeavored, ever since our first issue. to depre-
ciaie, run down and abuse the New York Herald,
and all those connected with it. THIS opposition
comes from the weak and unprincipled portion Of
the contemporary press of this city and throughout
the county, and particularly the party press con-
Quoted by miserable pariizans, who are bought,
like cattle in the market, merely to do the bidding
Of their emPloyers--the Poucians OF the day. For
all such newspaper writers and journalists we have
the most sovereign and overwhelming contempt,
and so we believe have all independent thinkers
on both sides Of the Atlantic, and on every side of
