BY the Persia, which arrived at this port yes
terday, bringing two days later news from
Europe, we have received private sdvices from
Paris which are almost conclusive against the
idea Of any foreign Intervention on the part Of
the Emperor Of the French; and these advices,
it will be seen. are supported by the letter oi
our well informed Berlin correspondent, who
asserts that the idea Of Intervention on the
part Of France and England separately or COM
bined, has been abandoned, and that q general
conference Of all the Powers Of Europe is to be
held, with . view of uniting them against the
war in such formidable array that the federal
republic must succumb and yield the inde-
pendence of tho rebellious States. And what
gives color to such plan is the calling homo
Of Mercier, a. well a. Lord Lyons, from WASH
ington.
There is thus . postponement Of any hostile
action on the part of tho Western Powers.
What they may do. or expect to do, hereafter
is too deeply -shrouded in the darkness Of the
future to determine at present. The bold atti
tude Of tho American nation has deferred
the two principsl conspirators, who arc
compelled to fall back for support
on the other Powers Of Europe; and by the
time such q conference Of conflicting interests
could arrive at any decision the war will have
been terminated, and the conspirators of Europe
will be as ehectually bafled az are the traitor
GUS conspirators Of tho Southern States. The
Intervention on which the rebels have depended
FOR extrioation from the difficulties of their
desperate situation has failed them in the hour
Of trial like . broken reed. Yet they are
giving out that dispatches have been recently
received from Slidel to the effect that the recog
milton of the independence Of the Southern con-
federacy by France may be expected at any
moment. II the insurgent chiefs are so conf
dent, and our government are equally confident
in the opposite direction, the best way to settle
the matter is to make a speedy trial who is to
have possession of the rebel capital, the great
point on which the rebels rest their case,
having taken the pains to illustrate the argu-
ment by sending, through the hands of a British
subject, their own veracious accounts Of the re-
cent seven days battles on the Chickahominy-
accounts which the French princes, who fought
in these engagements, will eiectually dispose
Of on their arrival in Europe.
But assuming that there is real danger Of
general coalition Of the Powers Of Europe,
like those coalitions which combined to over
throw the French republic, and failed one after
another, the result in the case of the American
republic would be the same. The Holy Alliance
which conspired to crush popular government in
Europe was scattered like chaff before the
wind by the terrible energies of the French
republic. A greater republic IL here-one of
vaster extent and Of richer resources, both
physical and intellectual. The result Of any
attempt on the part of the despots Of Europe to
meddle with our internal affairs could not be
doubtful. But to prevent their having the
shadow Of . pretext for intervention in any
shape or form, let ample reinforcsments rapidly
swell the ranks Of the Union army, let Rich
mond be taken, and the rebellion be brought
to q speedy end by the capture or dispersion
of the army which defends the principal strong
hold Of the insurgents, and on which their last
desperate hope Of success Is staked.
