THE AMERICAN REBELLION.

The London Tmes publishes q long letter
from Hon. Theodore s. Fay, American Minister
to Switzerland, which is mainly devoted to a
retutation Of Earl Rufsell's late speech at
Newcastle, in which he EARL Russoll) asserted
that one side In America was striving for EN- .
pire, and the other for independence or power.
Mr.. Fay protests in the strongest terms against
Lord RusselPs reasoniDgs, and complains In
general terms against the sympathy accorded
to the rebels by the English and continental
journals.
The London Times editorially criicisos Mr..
Fay's letter, and says that although IL carries
American prolixity to the farlhest point IL is
not to be compared to the absurd and peevish
utteraness of Cassius M. Clay and others of
LincoIns diplomatists.
The London Tines, after arguing the ques
tion Of slavery in its relation to the existing
contest, asserts that the recognition of the Con
federate States and peaceabe separation will
accomplish every thing which the Northern
anti slavery party has been advocating for
years.
The London Times Gays: For our own part,
we, as EDglisbmen, shall be glad to see the es.
tablishment of the Confederate States, simply
because the political power Of the slave owners
will be so much less than of gore. Formerly
every flibuster had the whole American
Union at bis back, and he 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
pIopensities. If the old Union bad lasted, the
extension of slavery over Mexico would have
been certain after a few years. Noio, ho,oeper,
the South iuiH find riual determined TO prevent
her oqgrdndizement. The cause of justice and
civilization will gain by the quarrel Of these
partners in guilt. These are some of the rea-
sons which have influenced Europeans in their
Judgment of American affairs. They seem to
h. hot hava haan n n.
sWered hith erto, and Mr.. Fay does not at
ttmpt them. Until we hear some better argu
ment than his zoe shall remain 11ithout any desire
for the reconstyUction of the Republic, which was
so completely founded on principles of slavery,
as is the Government of the Confederate States,
and which was moreover able to propagate
slavery by sggressions in which the Confed-
crate States alone can never venture.
At q conservative demonstration at Worces-
ter, Earl Shrewsbury, in allusion to American
affairs, said they saw democracy on its trial,
| and how it failed. He thought separation in-
evitable, and predicted the ultimate establish
ment of some sort Of aristocracy in America.
Sir John PakiDgton, at the same meeting,
pointed to the failure Of democracy in Amerioa a
as a warning TO England, and expressed the
conviction that reunion Of the States was
| hopeless. He wished the great Powers would
| demonstrate against a continuance of the war;
| and, while approving of England's neutrality,
he regretted that Earl Russell, in his recent
speech, had not in more decided language ex-
pressed the views Of England.
The Paris correspondent Of the Independence
Beige processes to have learned from reliable
| quarters that tho projected Intervention in
Mexico is conceived with ulterior views. 1hc
time must come token the cotton blockade can b.
no longer tolerated, and the furtberess period
allotted fer the game now on foot, by the North
and South to be played, is fixed for January
next. If, at that date, the Southern State
hold their own, their claim to joint recognition
by France and England will assume such ur'
gency that decision must ensue. These as
sertions are regarded in England as utterl!
| untrue.
The short time movement in Lancastershir
continued to make progress. The mills in va
Iious parts were reducing their time TO thre
days per week, and in numerous instances al
entire suspension was taking place.
