EUROPEAN VIEWS OF AuEnrcly Arg,IHs.

| We get the following additional views Of the En-.
ropean press on the subject Of American affairs:
The London Times publishes q long letter from
/ Hon. Theodore Fay, American minister 10 swift
erlSad, which is mainly devoted 70 3 refutatiop OF
Earl Russell's late speech at Newcastle. in which
he earl Russel) asserted that one sile in Ameri,
ca striving for empire and the other S1r i1ds-
pendence or power. Mr. Fay protests ia Lac strong
i est terms against Lord RusselI's reqsonf05s and
complains in general terms against the sympathy
accorded to the rebels by the Eagsh aad eonIinen-
tai journals.
The London Tunes editorially eritieisss Mr.. Fav's
letter, and says that although it carries Ameri-
casn pr0lxity to the farthest point t is not 20 be
compared to the absurd aud peevish usterances
OF Cassius ~ Clay and others Of the Lincoln il
plomatists.
The London Times, after arguing the question Of
slavery IN relation to its existing contest asserts
that the recognition Of the Confederate States and
peaceful separation will accomplish everything
which the northern snt-slavery party has been ad-
vocstng for yea 8.
The London Times says: . For our own mart. we
Engiishmen, shall be glad to the establishment
Of the Confederate States, simply because the Do
litical pOWsr o. the slaveOwners viii be so much
less than of yore. Formerly every flibuster had
the whole American Union at his back and be knew
it. The case will be different when the country
which sends him out is only kind Of Anglo-Saxon
Brazil easily curbed in its ambitious prOpensities
II the old Union had lasted the extension Of slavery
over Mexico would have been certain after = few
years. Now, however, the South viii fad rival
cause Of Justice and civilization viii gain By the
quarrel Of these partners in guilt These are some
Of the reasons which have inhuencsd Europeans In
their judgment Of American affairs. They seem 70
be so eogent that they have never been answered
hitherto, and Mr.. Fay does not attempt them. Until
we hear some better argument than his, we shall
remain without any desire for the reconstruction Of
tie Republic, which was 50 completely founded on
principles Of slavery as is the Government Of the
Confederate States, and which was, moreover, able
to propagate slavery By aggressions 70 which the
Confederate States alone can never venture.
At q conservative demonstration gt Worcester,
Earl Shrewsbury, in ellusion to American ahsirs,
said they saw Democracy on its trial and how il
failed. he thought separation inevitable, and pre-
iicted the ultimate establishment Of some sort Of
sristocracy in America.
Sir John Pakington, at the same meeting, pointed
10 the failure OF Democracy in America as q warn
ne 20 England, and expressed the eOnvictisn that
reunion Of the States was hopeless. He wished
he great Power would demonstrate against the
continuance Of the war an5, while approving Of En~
,lsnd's neutrality he regretted that Earl Russeil,
n his recent speech, had not in more decided lAn-
mage, expressed the views Of E1gland.
The Paris correspondence Of the hsdspsnllsacs
Beige processes 70 have learned. from reliable quar-
ers that the projected Intervention Of Mexico is
oncelved with Interior views. Tbs time must
