STATE OF PUBLIC FEELING IN ENaLAND-LEr-
TER raoM JAMES E. HARVEY, Eso.-The follow
ing private letter, written from Paris to friend
in Washington by Mr.. Harvey, our Minister to
Portugal, was received by the last steamer:
PARIS, June IL, 1861.
Ny DEAR SIR:-It has occurred to me that
the results of some of my personal observations
in passing through England might be accepta-
BILE to you. A very considerable reaction has
occurred there in the last fortnight, both in the
press and in Parliament. I made it duty,
without consulting any one, or making my pur-
pose known at all, to see personally the leading
writers in the Times, Post, News and Herald,
and to convince them by practical facts of the
mistakes into which they had fallen, and Of the
false views which remoteness from the scene of
action and Misrepresentation had induced them
to form. Some of them responded promptly
and creditably, others were slow to relinquish
preconcelved ideas, but gradually yielded, and
have now almost come over to our side.
The popular sentiment in England, ireland
and Scotland is almost entirely with us and the
knowledge of that fact has had much to do un-
doubtedly with the recent action of the Govern.
ment. All the people met in cars, steamboats,,
hotels, and institutions, and with whom had
any opportunity of conversation-which l al
ways cOuSut Wueu IL WAS pTOpcI-WeTc dfuent
for the Union, and anxious for its preservation
at any cost. l did not meet one man who ex
pressed sympathy with the Southern movement.
Sturgeon preached to a congregation of over
six thousand people last Sunday, and closed with
prayer for the North and the extinction of
slavery. The response from that mighty multi.
tude was like the muttering Of distant thunder.
Such an amen never fell on my ears before
The fact tells the feeling which exists among
the masses in England, and which no Ministry
dare resist.
The public men whom l rave met in Europe
look to the new Administration with great con-
6dence for . solution of the great problem
which now convulses our unhappy country, and
they seem to see in the means now adopted the
promise of satisfactory end. ,
5 If can be of any use at Lisbon or elsewhere,
issue an edict Commend me very kindly to
your household, and believe me TO be, plainly,
your friend, JAMES e. HARvEr.
