INT STATE OF EUROPE.

The cotton question in England becomes every day
more serons and therefore you viii scarcely be as
tonished 90 hearing that great hopes are attached in
the Leading tiroes Of society 10 the combined expe-
di,iou Of England, France, and Spain against Mex
ico There is no doubt that the successive Govern
nents of Mexico have given sufficient cause TO the
Governments Of Europe for complaint, but until now
neither England nor France were willing 10 make
tbemselyes the collectors Of had debts for unculous
creditors nor did they at organize costly expe
tons Ser the redress of insults offered by ephenera
South American Governments to European consuls
and di9lomaic agents. When, however, The bar
bos Of the Cotton States ere blockaded by the Fed
eral feet aud moe, industrious population in In
gland and France stands on the threshold of starva
ton for want of sufficient material, II is import
ont fer the statesmen of the manufacturing States OF
Europe to assemble an important naval force In the
Gufof Mexico, in the very neigbborhood of the
biOctaied seaports in order TO set the cotton Tee
which is accommodating in the Southern States. The
expedton'sgainst Mexico is in fact n0thir else bus
pre.ext, aud England and France approach th,
Cotton States under fllse peenses; So scon as the
combined Aeet has arrived in the Gulf Of Mexico, the
Emba ssadors of Napoleon and Queen Victoria Will
offer their mediation between the now contendng
States Of North America, and You know that medl-
elton backed by powerful feet is always dangerous
For the success Of tie good cause Of the Union,
therefore, we hope that the may soon be prose-
cuted with less circumlocution and that decisive
blow may be struck before the European Powers
can ntermeddle which at any rate must be more
favorable 10 tie insurgent Solth than TO the Union.

bat be cert ,in that the great mass of intelligent
Engisbmen have the warmest sympathy for the
North. The politicians, however in Europe. as
well as across the Atlantic, are always more ener-
eetic and find means to neutralize the action Of the
sober and somewhat slower thinkers aud workers.
In France. too the Southerners have many friends
around the Emperor, and one real victory on their
aide would suffice to have the Confederation Officially
acknowledged. IL il the cotton question which
cannot at once leave out of sight, since it interests
too great number of the working population, while
tho supplies from India and Egypt DO not suffice at
the frs, moment Still all over Europe the Liberals
feel for the North, and though the Souherbes tried
70 enlist European officers in France and Italy, they
have not met a. yet, with any success. There is

syrpathies are all for the North. There are, how

that the North cannot eucceed, and pretend that
