From the London Times March 20th.
The Intelligence from America, which we
publish to-day, il the most important which
has reached this country since the United
States split into two republics. The first Of
fer has been made by the North President
Liueoln proposes to abolish slavery in the
South by gradually buying up the slaves with
the Federal revenue leaving however, to each
State its perfect right to continue or discard

20 be that Of recovering to the Union the Dor
der States. r.
The means OF purchase are not set forth ~
is only suggested that a continuance OF Inc

toward peace. This proposition - important
not for its intrinsic likelihood OF acceptance
bat simply because it is proposIuon, ana tne
first bid made towards putting an eus to the
war. We may hope that others may follow,
and that the North may gradually rise IN It's
offers until something acceptable has been put
forth The only reply ofthe house to Mr.
Lincoln has been a resolution Of the Contedcr-
ate House OF Representatives to burn all cot
ton and tobacco that may be in danger Of falling
into the hands Of the invaders. Meanwhile
the snow has fallen in the district that separ-
ate 3 tne armies Of the Potomac and Manassas,
and Gen. Mcclellan is again prevented from
advancing. In every point Of view this pro-
posal of the federal President gives great scope
fer speculation, and perhaps some glimpse OF
hope; but It IS for 1chat 1t may herald and not
for what it is.
From the London Star March 2Oth.
President Lincoln has sent Message TO
Congress which will secure for him the warm

world He proposes shat the two Houses
should, by q joint resolution, offer to cooper

Gates this proposition by arguments which are
irresistible He points out that this measure
is one Of the most efficient of self preservation;
and that if adopted by the more northern

is an unmistakabe hint to those who persist in

present aspect Of affairs. The message APP

influential organs of the press. and we shall

it must occasion within the walls Of Congress.
II is impossible to eraggerate the importance Of
this increment, or the momentous character OF
the issues which are involved in the preposi-
tons which it contains. It is, at all 0vsnts, an
indication that the dawn of emancipatiun is
not remote, and that the Government of the
United States are prepared to carry out that
great act of justice by wise and peaceful
means.
From the Liverpool Post, March 90.
3Ir. Lincoln has sent to Congress message
20 startling that it has almost suspended dis.
cassion at Washington, the different parties be-
ing afraid to NEEDLE with it till they discover
the tendency Of public opinion. However it
may be eventually received in America, there
cau be no doubt that it viii have an incalcula-
bic effect in Europe, and that effect will be
most favorable to the Northern cause. Hlther-
TO, every Eurepean country has justified its
leaning to the South, or lis apathy towards
the North, on the ground that the Federal Gov
eminent was not honestly or heartily oppos ed
to slavery. To that serious imputation the
new message ofPresident LIncoln is a direct
aRsper for he proposes a scheme which will
S'iniIiate-tIst is the word he himself selects
the entire emancipation Of the negroes.
