Rrom Europe.

The detsils cf the foreign news by the last
arrival ara Of interest The London Tines CEN
pares the United States to dying dolphin, and
thinks the fish lay quite fat at the gEest war
meetings in Union Square. It says:
Invaders as the North are mixed, IS must be
the feelings of ri5jculs and Indignation with
which the world reads tho acts Of such men az
Butter and the acts of such men as Fremont,
stiH pity must be the predominailng sentiment
IN every one who opens q budget of American
news. A great empire lies ike crystal under
the hsmnner the first blow hes smote it in twain,
aud every one csn SEQ that if the strokes are not
stayed, slighieT blows repeated viii pound tiutO
fragments New York is already st its wits
end few days ago we reported q meeting
called TO incGlcste in covert way the propriety
Of peace. To day we report another meeting
called to urge on the war It seems to have
been confessed a failure The mayor OF New
York came forward unwilingly TO confess
change Ia the spirit Of bis cOuutfymen. Hewas
Obliged 20 admit that Il was necessary 70 stlm-
ulsle the President and Others charged with the
duty OF suppressing the infamous rebellion"
BE was obliged further 70 admit that the meet
ing was necessary to "Iekindle the half slum-
beriug patriotism Of his counuymeR," aud,
Whist was still more important, that 1t was neces-
saTy to urge his countrynea to respoRd with
alacrity to the cell Of the government for sddi-
tional volunteers"
The failure Of the American government 80
eXecite enthusiasm in the city OF New York in
favor of the war indicates g very important
change in the public opinion of the Atlantic
eities II may be that this change Is as yet con-
fined 70 the great commercial ports It may be
that it has not yet pern1eGsed OF eYen penetrated
the Western States. So soon, however, IS 1t be-
comes evident that the South cannC4 be retained
as 8 slave holding partioa Of the Union, New
York must naturally be against apy further
prosecution Of the war, and SO also will be Mas
sschusetis and Pennsylvania Neither OF these
States would care 70 ineur greater debt and 70
submit to couscriptions Ia order TO make the
South g widnerness-Which would be the only
conseg guence Of arming the negroes and inciting
q serviIe wsT-and ell these States would prefer
an independent civilized neighbor TO trade with
rather thsn wilderness TO garrison. Through
out this WAY We have seen this motive Of self
interest active It is not respect for the CoRsti-
tuition or fear OF the consequences TO civilization
IN The South which hsve created the constant
protests against abolition sympatbies IA Europe,
aud against enrolling, emancIpating, or arming
the negloes in America; ii is that the men
OF business at the North felt any violent
and revolutionary abolition OF slavery would
make the South useless to them for business
purposes, and Only burden to them fnsncially.
Ii is the turn Of the tide. If Mr. Lincoln
cannot fiji Union Square, we may be sure be
viii never be able 70 fill his roll call Of new
+ leYies Such is the leyity and caprice Of the
American popul2ce that il is impossible to fore
sea from hour to hour what may happen. Ii,
/ however, the mass is really tired OF the war,
! they will not be long in letting US know the
I fact. The first courageous voice which strikes
1 the popular key viii cali forth full chorus. L
is not, however Confederate victories, nor is it,
as we think at this moment, foreign Intervention
which viii hasten this contamination. Ii is the
| c Constantly arriving sbig.losds of wasted and
desth-stricken victims from the swamps of the
South, and if is the wounded and too loquacious
volunteSfs who have escaped from before Rich
mOnd who will most certainly spread any newly
born feeling Of disgust for the war, and destroy
the hopes OF recruiting officers 1t may be some
time yet We viii not prophecy prophecies Of
thirty OF OF ninety days but every mail now
adds to our hopes that this summer viii be the
end of this American civil war.
The Morning Post Lord Pslmerston's orgsn)
comments upon Gen. Pope's proclamation, that
his army is henceforth to subslst on the country
IN which it happens to be carrying on military
operations. The Posi- says this naeans that war
| Is herceforth to be used in rspine, and that II
fact it presents the obvious resource of gov
ernn ent whose credit is failing. The same jour
! nal reviews Prince de Joinvile's own account
Of the circumstances Of tbe departure of the
4 Ofleans princes nom America, and says It is
really the most unfortunate sud depl0-able &C
count Of the departure which has yet been given,
and quite expla ns the alleged refusal Of Presi-
dent Lincoln 70 receive the princes II q farewell
