TWO DAYS
LATER FROM EUROPE.

HALIFAX, Feb. 1O-The America, from
Liverpool Jan. 25th, and Queenstown the Goth,
arrived at this port last night. She has TWEEN
ty-six passengers and 92400 in specie.
The America was ashore on mud bank in
Queenstown harbor five hours, aud in conse-
quence of the heavy gale did not sail until
nine o'clock Tuesday morning. Although
virtually three days later than the Nova SEQ
tian, it does not appear that any communica-
ton was had With the shore during the thirty.
six hours she lay in the harbor, and her latest
advces include those only received from Liv-
erpool and London by telegraph on Sunday.
This is to be regretted, as it is minated by
our dispatch that emperor Napoleon was to
have delivered his speech on Monday, which
might possibly have been obtained.
The London Shipping Gazette says, ru-
NOR is current in circles supposed to be well
informed, that a semi-official note has been ad-
dressed to the British government by France,
respecting the blockade of the confederate
ports, to the effect that the emperor cannot
longer allow French commerce to be injured
by respecting the non effective blockade, and
that he will shortly make an official demand to
the English government to join him in raising
the blockade, and that in case Of none
pliance he will take the initiative. The EN-.
peror's speech to the corps legislatif Jan. 9th,
was expected with great interest, under the
belief that he will say something important on
American affairs.
The London Times, il another editorial,
says, we need not be eager to NEEDLE with
American affairs This is a time for awaiting,
and we can afford to wait quite as well as the
north aud south can afford to be looking across
the Potomac at the cost of 2, 100000 sterling a
day tor each of them. If there does come any
real cause of complaint, it will tell all the more
for our present patience and forbearance
The London Globe editorially remarks that
the maratime powers cannot be expected to
respect the federal blockade, unless it is really
effective. The commerce of the world cannot
suffer itself to be despoiled for an indefinite
period under the mere paper blockade. AS to
Intervention, says the Globe, we may be invit-
ed or offered to intervene, but our great aim
must be to preserve consistency with our own
principles.
In a letter from Mr.. Seward to Smith o.
Brien, in response to the latter's recently prof
tered advice, Mr.. Seward urges Mr.. 0 'Brien,
if he would promote the cause OF America, of
Great Britain, OF humanity at large, to speak
and act in every case, and without qualltica-
ton, tor the American Union. Mr.. Stewards
tone is highly patriotic for the Union, and
friendly towards European powers, in regard
to whom he is determined to stand always not
only in the right, but upon the defensive.
