The London correspondent of the Philadelphia
Inquirer under date of l0thsJ anuary, writes:
There is no doubt that the recent disastrous
affair at Fredericksburg, and the Ministerial cri-
sis at Washington, have produced profound
impression upon all classes Of the people of Eng
land. stated in my last letter, the press gene
rally has seized upon these two occurrences
with the greatest avidity, and turned them to as
good an account as was in its power. With the
sapient editors of most of the London journals,
there is no longer any Federal Government, nor
anation known as the United States. The South
ern Confederacy is gradually, but speedily, to
swallow up everything on the Western Ccnti-
nent. Mr.. Lincoln is now President enly in
name-the Democratic party in New York being
virtually the supreme rulers of the fragmentary
conglomeration of Northern States. No Ian
guage istoo gross or indecent with which to ex-
press their contempt of Mr.. Lincoln and his Cab
met /; while the humane gentleman, JEFF Davis,
is elevated into demi-god. The utter disrup-
tion of the whole country is confidently predict
ed as likely to occur within few weeks, and
Washington itself is to become common rem
devious for the owls and bats, IS e
