European Intervention I'm the United
States.
The intelligence from Europe by the Arabia,
published, by telegraph from Halifax, in our
columns to-day, is Of the highest Importance. 1t
foreshadows the intention of the Emperor of the
French, in cooperation with England, to inter-
pose by an armed Intervention in the American
war, in order to put stop to it and to enforce
peace on the basis Of . separation between the
North and the South. Taken in connection
with the visit of Count Persigny to London,
with an article in the Paris Constitutional, with
the tone of the English press and Parliament,
and with the fact Of the invasion Of Mexico, for
the avowed purpose of changing its in
situations and subverting its present 60
vernment, the news is Of most
StdItlluk CudluCtCi. AAO oomO PACtOASo
set forth in the Spanish Cortes by Calderon
Collantes for Intervention in Mexico-namely,
to prevent fratricidal wars held out to
the ear of humanity and civilization for inter
vention in the United States. But cotton and
tobacco and hostility to free institutions are at
the bottom of British and French philanthropy.
The London Times of the 18th instant raves
about promised cotton, and takes no comfort
in our capture Of New Orleans Their ruined
commerce and manufactures, and the revolu-
tionary tendency Of their own population in
consequence Of prolonged distress, are tho real
incentives to the action Of the Powers of West
ern Europe, and not any sympathy for the suf-
ferings of humanity in the New World.
The English journals and the English nobility
in both houses Of Parliament affect to be great
~ shocked at the course of General Butler in
New Orleans Lord Palmerston. in the House
Of Commons, stigmatizes it as " Infamous" and
such that an Englishman should blush for the
Anglo-Saxon race. Earl Russell on The same
night denounces it in the House Of Lords,
while Earl Carnarvon says cit ID with
out Q precedent in the annals Of war"
Have they forgotten Packenham's watchword
Of Beauty and booty" before New Orleans
at the close of the war Of 1928, or the toma-
hawk and scalping knife Of the savage in the
war of American Independence, when the Bri-
tish government paid certain price for
every scalp produced by the Indian as the re-
suit Of his slaughter Of the whiteskins, whether
men, women or childrens Have they forgotten
the massacre Of Wyoming, and the aendish
deeds of their hireling Hessianss Could they
not call to mind the bloody scene of Glencoe
in Scotland, or the atrocious butchery of Crom-
well, at Drogheda, in Ireland, where, by his
own confession, he treacherously put man,
woman and child to the sword after the sur.
render of the town? What Of the war against
the Chinese, to compel them to eat opium, to
their certain destruction, but for the advantage
Of British commerce? And, finally, is their
memory 30 treachsrous that they do not remem-
Der the atrocities Of Hastings and Give in India,
and Of the more modern proceedings ofthe Bri-
fish army compelling the Sepoys to bitethe dust
because they would not bite creased cartridges,
contrary to the precepts Of their religion, and
Of the blowing Of their miserable victims
from the mouths of cannon. Let W hear no
more, therefore, about precedents for cruelty
In war.
The real meaning Of the mock humanity OF
Palmsrston, Russell and the other British
statesmen is, that they desire to inHame the
public mind Of England and all Europe against
the United States, and to prepare the way for
that Intervention which Earl Russell intimstes
is only question Of time on the part of the
British government. The London Post, Its
organ says "the difficulties In the way Of the
reconstruction Of the American Union are in
surmountable." The London Herald, organ Of
the opposition, asks Glow long is America to
be INDUCED and Europe to endure?" The
Paris correspondence of some of the English
papers asserts that Napoleon Is assured of the
cooperation Of England in his schemes Of inter-
vention in the United States; that mediation
has been resolved upon; that simultaneous pro-
positions will be made by England and France
at Richmond and Washington, and that In the
case Of REFUSAL either by the North or the South,
the two Powers will impose peace on the belli-
gerents by force Of arms" But we rather
think, - intinated by Earl Russell and by the
Manchester Guardian, that the programme is to
let France, for the present, go forward alone,
as in the case of Mexico, and that, II ne
cessary, England and Spain will come to her
rescue.
But the United States will know how to deal
with these Powers should they attempt to in
terfere in her domestic concerns. We will
soon have an army Of thres-quartsrs of . mil
lion Of men dissngaged after the suppression
Of the rebellion, and feet Of iron-clad YES
sells which will sweep the combined navies Of
France, England and Spain from the face Of
the ocean; nor will We ever lay down our arms
till we wipe cut every vestigs Of foreign sway
