Furopeon a nairs.

No iuoonsiderabe portion OF our space is to
| day occupied with intelligence from Europe
brought by the Hermann and Asia. II pos
sesses good deal of interest, and is not entire
ly devoid Of political importance.
The topics which overshadowed all others,
at the date of the advces from England, were
the progress of the Queen through the manu-
! featuring districts, on her return to London
| from the Highlands, and the preparations that
were going on in anticipation of visit from
KossUTH. The latter seems to be complete
ovation. From Southampton to London, and
from London northward meetings had been
held to make arrangements for doing him hon
/ or, and subscription on his behalf had been
set on foot under auspices which go far to qua
fantee success.
The London Times has Numbered forth
couple of columns of vituperation on kossUTH,
and the New York Post copies from the Leadel
an intimstion that the article was written by
some one connected with the British govern
ment, with tho remark, that "the officials
are getting afraid of the excitement among the
people," The groundlessness of the conjec-
ture, and its injustice to the British govern
ment, is proved by the circumstance that the
London Gtobe-the recognised organ of Lord
| PALMERsToN on every thing pertaining to for
eign polcy-vigorousl defends the Hungarian
hero against the attacks of his detractors.
The Times was the ungenerous assailant OF
kossUTH throughout the whole Hungarian
struggle, and its present course therefore ex-
cites no surprise.
We may add word, paTenthetcally, con
cerning the Leader, whose articles On foreign
politics are extensively quoted in this country.
with an appearance of authority to which the
journal itself lays no claim The Leader is
neither more nor less than the weekly mouth
piece of the English Socialists-conducted with
remarkable ability, we admit, but very mper-
fectly indicating the feelings of any considera-
bic section. of the British people. The fact
may be usefully remembered by some Of our
contemporaries, who have copied from the
! Leader divers polite invitations to the Ameri-
can Democracy to initiate overt interference in
| European affairs.
The course of England in relation to Kos
sUTH must tend to ALLEVIATE still more than at
present the affection of other European powers,
and is utterly irrecOncilable with the doctrines
proclaimed the other day by Mr.. Cory in
| Tammany Hall. Austria is reported to medi-
tate revenge against Turkey for releasing its
dreaded antagonist; and even France is rem
derng itself ridiculous by the pains it takes to
| disavow connexion with him.
The general. aspect of continental news
| gradually grows more and more portentous.
One cannot place finger on an exact spot of
the map where revolutionary reaction has actu-
ally commenced, or where war has been pro-
claimed by absolutist governments; but gen
eral impression is nevertheless produced, by the
whole tenor of intelligence, which leaves no
doubt of coming trouble. In view Of this, the
remarks of the Times on the financial condition
of European governments will be read with
much attention. They prove plainly enough
that TO the governments in question war must
now be synonymous with bankruptcy.
