AMERICAN AFFAIRS IN EUROPE.
Tone Of Lord Palmerston's Orgau--views of
n Member of ament--Ca"nda aud the
balance Of Power.-fnteresting Comments
of the English Press. &C.
Foreign flea by the Australasian, at New
York show that the question of the American
war continued to engage atten ton. The letter
of Cassius M Clay, in the London Times, had
been followed by another from MT Motley,
the historian, VINO nad al gleat Iehs.n se'
forth his view of the American struggle, attri-
butifiz all the trouble 10 the South. Mr.. Clay
had found an antagonist ia the person OF MIR
De Leon formerly American Consul in Egypt.
Mr. DE Leon writes TO The Times controSert-
ing the points set mp by the Kentuckian.
The tone of the Palmerston organs is deci-
dediy favorable to the letter OF marque plan
of the Sou thern Confederacy. Indeed III Is now
held by high commercial and legal uthority
in England that its commissioned privateers
may take prizes into any neutral port ana
keep them there until their conoen naioh Is
pronounced by it's admiralty courts sitting IN
Charleston New Orleans, Mobile or Savan-
l'nah. This judgment, if equitably rendered,
will, it is alleged, be binding on British mari
| time courts.
The people of England are said to be averse
| to the privateering business, bnt Mr.. Lindsay,
| N. r d, VINO recently visited this country, In a
speech to his constituents at Sunderland, ad-
| yised France and England to step FORWARD
and proclaim the indie dependence of the South
/ ern Confederacy as the only means OF aliaying
| the thirst for blood which he says, prevails
| at the North. The London Morning Post,
Lord Palmerston's organ, asserts That the
Sou thern States were de fdcto independent a.
| the moment.
| Lord Paimerstou says, through his London
| organ, the Post, that Canada will soon become
| the centre of commerce and emigration Ter
| the American continent, and that domestic
| iS
| Canada not only able to protect the neutral
ity of the province, but to MAINTAIN that pal

America has transferred to British North

| The war must end in an accommoda ton O

Surviving the conf iict she will be in posi-

She is Inundated, the more she will be EN-
| FILTERED. On the other side there Will be eX
| haustion, or at least WEAKNESS. The con
! uuerors will DE divided, and the wang uishe
wall find advocates foT clemency among In
| claimants to the spoil. Either secession mus
be permitted, or terms OF reconciliation ad
,Gsted. Even the victorious Republica

England and France must Stand by Il

= From the London Herad-Derbyitel
Il The Governments of France and Gre
Britain are scarcely likely to differ on the Ok
;. icy to be adopted i'll the present crisis, and
=. | is not improbable that this question has
- ready been discussed by the two Cabne
F. The Emperor Napoleon resided for some til
!. | in the Uni ted States, and is fully competent
Judge of the relative strength of the rival Sc
n lions, and when NJ. ThCuvenel declared tn
u the maintenance of the Union is necess ary
" the interest of France, ne doubtless spoke t
| entiments of his mas ter. The Emperor
- | pOleon is opposed TO disruption OF the Unit
n ! and it is rumored that he has even gone so
AZ AZ as to offer aid to President Lincoln against
~ | seceders. We have no means of ertain
va ! what are the intentions Of our own Cover

M man in the Cabinet, but we do not believe
