The London Times publishes long let
ter from the Hon. Theodore Fay, American
minister to Switzerland, which is mainly
devoted to a refutatiou of the late speech
of Earl Russell at New Castle, in which he
(Russell) asserted that one side in Ameri-
ca was striving for empire, and the other
for independence or power. Mr.. Fay pro-
tests in the strongest terms against Lord
Russelrs reasoning, and complains in gem
eral terms of the sympathy accorded the
rebels by England and continental jour
mails.
The Times editorially crfticises Mr..
Fay's letter, and says that although it car
ries American prolixity to the farthest
point, it is not to be comparable theabsurd
and peevish utterances of Cassius NJ. Clay,
and other of Liucoln's appointees.
The Times, after urging the question of
slavery in its relation to the existing con-
test, and asserting that the recognition of
separation will accomplish everything
which the northern anti-slavery party has
been advocating for years.
The Times says:
"For our own part, we, as Euglishmen,
shall be glad TO see the establishment of
the Confederate States, simply because the
political power of the slave owners will
be so much less than of yore. Formerly,
every filibuster had the whole American
Union ut his back, and he knew it. The
case will be different now, when the coun.
try which sends him out is only kind of
an 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 n
few years. Now, however, the South will
fiud us more determined to prevent herag
graudizement. The cause of justice and
civilization will gain by tho quarrel of
these partners in guilt.
"Thcse are some OF the reasons which
have influenced Europeans in their judg-
ment of American affairs. They seem to
use cogent reasons that have never been
answered hitherto, and Mr.. Fay does not
attempt them. Until we have seen some
better arrangements than his, we shall re-
main without any desire for a reconstruct
ton of the Republic which was so com-
pletely founded on the principle of slavery
as is the government Of the Confederate
States, and which was moreover able to
propagate slavery by aggressions in which
the Confederate States alone can never
venture
Alta conservative demonstration at Wot-
cester, Earl Shrewsbury, in allusion to
American affairs, said they saw democracy
on its trial, and bow it failed. He thought
separation inevitable, and predicted the
ultimate establishment of some sort of
aristocrncy in America.
Sir John Parkinghurst, atthe same meet.
ing, pointed to the failure of aristocracy
in America as a warning to England, and
expressed the conviction that n reunion of
the States is impossible. He wished the
Great Powers would demonstrate against a
continuance Of the war. And while APP
led that Earl Russell, in his recent speech,
had not, in more decided language, express
ed the views of England.
The short time movemement in Lancas-
tershire continued to make progress.
FRANCE.-Iti is reiterated that France has
opened negotiations with Austria for the
cession of Nenetia. 1t is reported thatthe
Duke of Magenta had been entrusted with

of the Dappen, and the Swiss Government
had sent commissioners to the spot and
had resolved to protect it and demand sat-
isfaction for the violation of Swiss terri
tory.
