The letter addressed to the London Times by
Mr.. Fay, late American Minister to Switzer-
land (alluded to In former dispatohes), 10 main.
ly devoted to q refutatlon Of Earl Russell's
late speech At Newcastle, in which the Earl as.
serted that one side In America was striving for
empire, and the other for Independence or pow.
.er. Mir. Fay protests in the strongest terms
against Earl Russell's reasonings, and com.
plains in general terms against the sympathy
accorded to the rebels by the Englsh and con-
tinental journals. 0F
The London Times editorially criticises Mr..
Faye letter, and says that although II carries
American prolixi.y TO the fartbest point sit is
not to be compared 10 the absurd and peevish
utterances OF Cassus M. Clay and other of Lin.
coins diplomatists." The Times, after arguing
the question of slavery in its relation TO the ex.
lsting contest, also asserts that the recognition
OF the Confederate States and peaceable eepar-
alton will accomplish everything which the
northern anti slavery party has been advocat.
ing for years, and 1t adds:
'For our own part, we, as Englishmen, shall
be glad to see the establishment OF the Confed-
crate States, simply becuse the political power
of the slaveowners will be 80 much less than of
yore. Formerly every filibuster had the whole
American Union at his back, and he knew it,
The case will be different when the country
which sends him out ia only kind OF Anglo
Saxon Brazil, easily curbed in its ambitious
propensities. If the old Union had lasted, the
extension of slavery over Mexico would have
been certain after few years. Now, however,
the South will find rival determined to pre-.
vent her aggrandizement. The cause of Justice
and civilization will gain by the quarrel of
these partners In guilt. These are some of the
reasons which have influenced Europeans in
their judgment of American affairs. They
seem to be 80 cogent that they have never been
answered hitherto, and Mr.. Fay does not at
tempt them Until we hear some better argu-
ment than his we shall remain without any de-
sire for the reconstruction Of the republic, which
was so completely founded on principles OF
slavery, as is the government of the Confeder-
ate States, and which was moreover able to
propagate slavery by aggressions in which the
Confederate States alone can never venture.'

fairs, said they saw democracy on its trial and

Of some sort of atistocracy in America.
Sir John Pakington, at the same meeting,
pointed to the failure of democracy In America
as warning to England, and expressed the

The Paris correspondent of the Independence
Beige professes to have learned from authentic
sources that the projected intervention of Mexi-
CO is conceived with ulterior views. The time
must come he says) when the cotton blockade
can be no longer tolerated, aud the furthest
period allotted for the game now on foot by the
North and South to be played, is fixed for Jan.
uary next If, at that date, the Southern
States hold their own, their claim to Joint rec
ognition by France and England will assume
such urgency that decision must ensue. These
assertions are regarded in England as utterly
untrue.
