Eng land stands ready to back her in all her propo' sals and demands, and to show how perfectly the two governments are acdng in concert, the very morning that the article 10 which have alluded appeared in the Constitutional at Paris, 1t ap' peared in the Times at Londsn. Lords Russel and Palmerston, in commenting on the propos- ed interference on the part of France sad that England for the present would not meddle with Americon affairs, as an offer of hers would be viewed with distrust by the federal government, and might subject her to insult.

 Whatever may be the language ot diplomacy reterate again, what have asserted Tn my n-evions letters, that England and France are ieagued together, and will work together in this American question, and it may be that they may call in the assistance of third power, Russia, vho. it is well known. advocates the South be- ing admitted to the "tsisterhood of nations" | much fear now that the complication of gour domestic difficulties will be farther increas ied by European intefennce. Should Mr. Lin- ooln reject the offer of mediation" on the part of France, as it is thought he will here, he will assuredly in the end have European war upon | his hands. First will oome as 1 have just obs served, the acknowledgement of the Southern Confederacy on the grounds that she has shown, for fourteen months, with'the most fearful odds against her, all the conscience of a national government, u4.king and executing laws; levy ing and supporting armies; resisting Invasion; providing by a financial system for all govern ment contingencies, and performing all the other requirements C a de .jure national government. Then will follg the breaking of the blockade at all ports ofPntry, and then European war.

It would cause cessation of the bloody sttggle: and the combaants, as excitement becoles aIiayed, will shpdder at the remembrance othe gory battle fields, and will curse the hour tkt arrayed them as enemies against each otlr. They will see that they have magnified ech others faults-have been blind to each othr s merits. They will see in the past scarcelr pretext for quarrel, and wonder why theyiava heen engaged in mortal arbtrament again each other. When these feelings come o'erhem, and come they will, then some basis MI be determined upon to make peace.
