GREAT BRIrAIN.-Sir Edward Bulwer Ly
ton, in speaking at dinner at Herdfordshir
reviewed the prospect of foreign and demest
relations. Italy, he said, had become gre.
nation. He took Mr.. Roebuck's view of Au
tria, and complimented Earl Russell on hi
conduct Of the Foreign Department. Sir Et
ward said he had long foreseen the rupture i
America, and he thought it would tend t
happy results, both for the safety of Europ
and other reasons. The breaking up of tn
American Republic was not a failure of de
mocracy. Any other form of government

The Times thinks the Emperor Of Rus
sia's letter good and appropriate, and more
acceptable to America than advice from any
other power; but obviously the advice will not
be taken by proud and obstinate people, and
more blood must flow before the counsels of
st. Petersburg will be listened to.
Further correspondence from Russell Is pub
lished. In one letter he says he has no doubt
whatever of the ultimate power of the North
ern aud Western States to subjugate the Sc
coded States, if they put forth all their
strength.
The London Post publishes the terms of a
treaty between England, France and Spain for
immediate Intervention in the affairs of Next
co. There is no intention of territorial war,
but the entire naval force of these powers will
occupy the principal ports of the Gulf, and
will sequestrate the customs of revenue at
such ports, retaining one-half and paying the
rest to the Mexican government. If Mexico
sets allied powers at defiance, an cffectual
blockade will be instantly established.
