arrived at Boston yesterday in time to permit the
mails to be forwarded by the morning express train

The Constitutional looks unfavorablv at the Eu-
ropean politics of England. "The influence of Eng
land,' it remarks, Sin the general business of the
world is maintained by the alliances she is able to
contract on the Continent. 1t is with the aid of
allies that she has founded her power and that she
maintains it. even now, where so many elements of
decay reveal themselves in her interior organiza-
ton. and in her remote territories. IT, then, it
should be proved that this power, long considered
the safeguard of European interests exists only to
impair them, will they not be liable to witness the
loss of those sympathies of which she has such i'm
mediate need? Great Britain, surrounded with
circle of governments, civilized, but unsvmpathiZ
ing, may end by being isolated in all diplomatic
questions; and the world may cease to believe in
her influence

on the morrow of war; the political horizon has
not been entirely cleared, and secondary questions
have to be solved That this state of things should
