TIE STATE on EUROPE.

LONDON, Tuesday, Feb. s, 1856
The upper classes of England cannot YET recon
ce themselves to the idea that pe.sce is immineat.
They feel keenly that the;- county, has lost its
prestige andihey cannot deny that not enc span
of genius has thrown luster on th, Viz operations
in the Baltic or the Pacific, or the 'er-mcmora-
BILE campaign of two years FROM Eupato us to baa-
klava. Still they must submit France wishes TO
terminate the var, and Napoleon thinks Ne cannot
get any further advantages from the ala nee with
England. Lord Palmerston, therefore, tas NO
choice but to sign the result Of the confel caces.
which in fortnight are to open at Paris, or BRO
sign and transfer bis power to Lord John Ru we'll
The English papers are fully aware Of these sn-
avoidable consequences of the French allisl 10.
and therefore they have at last ceased to sound ,s
war trumpet against Hussia. France having taAk1
the lead in war, England must now follow her in di-
plomncy Such reflections not calculated 10 keep
the politicians in good humor, and accordingly they
give vent 10 their spleen In another direction and
write warlke articles against the United States.
The Morning Post. I've Economist, The Daily
Telegraph and The Times are all wroth. AID are
dischargipg sharp articles against Gen. Pidrce's
Cabinet and Policy. They threaten tho United
States and believe they can bully you BY pointing
to the unprotected position of the most important
towns Of America just at the time when England
by an unexampled exerton has raised her fleets
and all her means of attack to the highest.e0i-
cheney. Still there is no man In England who
really believes in war with America. The cotton
thread which binds the very existence Of Manches-
ter and Liverpool to the welfare OF the United
States, is too strong to be broken by the ciamor %
journalists and Of politicians. The common sense
Of the English nation protests against hostilities
and more than frstricidal war, which would
destroy the commerce Of England, rain the mills
of Manchester, and build up the industrial inde-
pendence Of the United States. In spite OF all the
clustering Of the papers, and Of all the ntrigues
of the American shareholders who wosh like 10
evade the slavery question by European war.
England and America will not meet Us enemies.
Their quarrels may ocatinue, but no real rupture
can take place between them. BrghFs speech at
the meeting of the Manchester Chamber OF Com
merce, cannot fail deeply TO impress tho public
here with thr necessity Of putting stop 70 ths
progress of the dispute with the United States
As to the state of negotiations with Eussia, ii Is
