Foreign Intervention Again.

1 VECASA 4AtCfsCAS4OA AS22A
Thurlow Weed has returned from his ex-
tended tour in Europe, and pronounces the
state of feeling towards US in that country
anything but satisfactory. There seems to
bea determination on the part of large
class of the English officials to interfere
with our affairs.
Mr.. Weed reached New York on the 9Th
inst. At breakfast given him by the city
authorities, he stated, in conversation, the
attitude OF Europe towards this country:
s.The state of public sentiment abroad. he
said, was far from gratifying. The French
Government cherished no friendly senti-
ments towards as, and the people we're little
better. But Prince Napoleon was our most
sincere friend, and lost no occasion to do us
friendly offices. The British Ministry was
divided. Lord Palmerston and Earl Rus
sell were averss to u.s. other members of
the Cabinet were warmly affected towards
the North. The Queen. whenever she
could say . word. always expressed the
most decided sympathy with US. Prince
Albert had always been the devoted friend
of this country, and his last public act was
to modify dispatch which the minister
had prepared to send to Lord Lyons.
ssThe general unfriendly sentiment cher
ished towards US in the Old Word, Mr.
Weed attributes 10 the treacherous conduct
of our diplomatlc agents abroad. Full one
third of them had for years been preparing
the public mind in Europe for the contem-
plated revolution. and large number of
Southern Congressman had participated in
the treason. We in America could have
but an imperfect idea of the condition of pop
ular sentiment on that continent.
CDR. Russell, of the London Times, was
one of our best friends in England. He
took every occasion to express his sympa-
thy for the North. He spoke at the clubs,
to the members of Parliament, to every
body whom he encountered. He pronounced
our armies the finest in the world; the raw
recruits were equal to veterans in other
countries.
Capitalists were surprised, most of all.
Our country was dismembered, and its ex-
tincticn threatened by civil war of mon
strous proportions; yet we met all the ex
penses, and were able to continue to be able
to do so for ten years, without recurrence
to foreign contributions; and our funds had
not deprecated since the breaking out of
hostilities. There was no other country in
in the world capable of such a financial
achievement. America was truly independ-
ent.''
The Paris correspondent of the New
York IGnsss says:
''The Ministerial papers have recon
menced, within few days, their apparently
official defense of the Southern Confederacy,
and declare, with as much emphasis and as
much special pleading as ever, their belief
in the success of the rebellion. For them,
the capture of Yorktown and New Orleans
proves nothing; the Confederate army will
only be stronger when concentrated in the
interior, away from the rivers and the gum
boats; and that, sooner or later, the North
will renounce the struggle as too costly and
exhausting.'
The London correspondent of the same
paper says:
"AI eyes are turned to America. The
Pope, Victor Emanuel, and all European
interests are forgotten. Prosperity or ad-
versity, peace or war, life or death, depend
upon the events now taking place in Vir
GINA and the Southwest. # the North is
to conquer, it must be soon. England can
not bear a protraeted struggle. There aUiu
be Intervention IF there IS not peace"
