The News from EurOPe-Designs of
Eranca and England.


The New York Herald of Thursday contains
letter from its Paris correspondent in relation to
American Affairs in Europe, which is interesting
and important. If its statements are. correct, it
SHOWS that there Is settled design on the part of
LOUIS NAroLkox and the European governments
TO interfere in American affairs from religious,
political and commercial considerations. Cotton,

gaciOos French Emperor would permit
such state Of Affairs to occur even if il should
involve the necessity of his breaking the block

source he can obtain il. England, too, must
have cotton, although she can get portion of
what she needs from her own colonies. A large
idle population would likewise be troublesome to
that government in the discomfort which they
would produce. and the disasters which would

the Struggle. until the necessities Of those

toned either that both of those Governments
would like to see the heretofore growing power of
this nation crippled by dissensions and diyi-
sions. The danger Of foreign interference
therefore is not only possible. but imminent.
Unless the Government shall be able
to overwhelm the Confederates and force
them to yield, we may expect that they will
have the active sympathy and aid of European
Governments to maintain their independence, and
to open their ports to the commerce of the world.
This unnatural strife between the two sections,
which have common interest in maintaining
great and powerful nation on this continent,
should cease, and instead Of exhausting the en-
ergies and crippling the resources Of the whole
country. the difficulties should be accommodated

The HeraIfs correspondent writes:
Tour affairs are exciting the deepest interest
in every court of Europe but the master spirit
who controls European relations with America
is the Emperor Of the French, and the hostility
against the United States and the symps6hy with
the South, exhibited BY the English government
and its organs did not originate at the Coart Of
ST. James, bnt at the Tuilleries. In America you
have been abusing England as standing alone in
her secret hostility. but not only she not alone
but she is not even the motive power France,
or rather the Emperor, is the power behind the
English throne greater than the throne, urging
England forward as well as Spain in crusade
against the United States. As in the Crimean
campaign and the Chinese war, so now in the
disruption of the American republic, France and
England are allies: but France viii be sure to be
the most conspicuous and prominent figure on
the chessboard Of war; The sources of French
policy are twofold-one of politico-religious na
fure and the other is commercial and financial.
