ImPortaat from EsrePe-The Ehects ei
Our Civil War-TAe spseehss Of Ros-
buck and Russell. 4 ~ ~, AZ
Among the news received from Europe by the
Australasian and Teutonia, which we publish
to-day, are two significant speeches--one OF rarl
Russell in the House of Lords, the other OF Mr.
Roebuck in the House of Commons touching
the delicate nature of our present relations with
the British government. Earl Russell character
lied the conduct Of Mr.. Adams, our Minister IN
granting 'tckets of leave" as unwarrantabie
and announced his intention Of communicating
directly with the President ON the subject. At
present this seems to wear the aspect OF an
other Trert affair, particularly as Lord Palmers-
ton, on the following day, in the House Of
Commons, inreply to Mr.. Roebuck, stated that
he regarded the question involved as very
grave and declined to tell what would be the
ultimatu:n Of the government, who had the
matter under serious consideration its
British journals and British party leaders Of
late have become more and more violent
against the American republic. But the
most recent and most outrageous example
of this is the extraordinary speech Of Mr..
Rocbuck. This gentleman in asking a ques-
ton Of Lord Palmerston touching the con
duct Of Admiral Wilkes, launches forth into
the most bitter inyective. He calls the
republic 'the North American dis United
States" and says our system of govern
ment 'is at an end" He gees on to
denounce. the American people as Gan
upstart race "not only unfit for the govern
ment OF themselves, but unfit for the eourtesies
and the communities of the civilized world" He
winds up by announcing that the determine
ton of Lord Palmerston in the case Of our
Minister, Mr.. Adams, may lead to war;" but
that she (Roebuck), speaking there for the
English people, was prepared for war; s
And this language the fierce orator calculates
will ..strike the hearts of the insolent people
who govern America 1t remains to be seen
in what way it will strike their hearts-whether
with panic with Indignation, or simply with a
sense of the ludicrous in contemplating the
violent gesticulations of representative of
John Bull who means the very opposite Of
what he says. His speech, from beginning to end,
is mere gasconade.--the language of the gam
bier in playing bluff He says he speaks in the
name of the English people. When did the
English people give him any such authority?
Tho English people have no inclination to go
to war with kindred race which has their sym
pathies, and the English government dare not
go to war with the United States. The twofod
result of the struggle would be the demo-
,ition Of the proud Corinthian columns OF
the aristocracy and the bankruptcy of the
nation. iBut by this bold game British states
men expect to scare our government
at Warrington from going to war with
them, and at the same time to divert the atten-
ton of the revolutionary element in their midst
from the ruin which impends over millions Of
the working classes, in consequence OF being
deprived of the staple which gave them en-
ployment aud food being cut Of by our civil
war; Semi-starvation is perennial among
them. Total and absolute starvation now stares
them in the face. viii they not fight for breads
The aristocracy are exasperated against Ameri-
ca, and their grand object is to kindle the
resentment of the English people In the same
direction, in order that threatened destruction
may be averted from the privileged and ruling
classes of England. But they will fail in their
efforts, and the best thing they can do is to put
their own house in order against those domestic
commissions which are not far distant.
Long since the effects of our civil war have
been visible in Europe. The French war in
Mexico has undoubtedly resulted from it, and
the same may be said of the Polish insurrection,
t:ob 10 lot o1v so
likely to lead to general European war be-
fore the question is finally settled. AS the
war of the American Revolution affected the
destiny of England, France, Spain, together
with her American colonies; the destiny of
Italy, of Holland and Belgium, of Russia and
Poland of Austria, Prussia and the rest of Ger
many-in fact, of nearly all Europe--revolu-
tionizing various nations at the close Of the last
century and the beginning of this, producing
more revolutions in 1880, and again in lsiS,
so will the present American war kinde the
revolutionary elements throughout the world.
The Romans had temple dedicated to Janus,
which was open in time of war and shut in time
ofpeace. For period of seven hundred years
embracing the rise, progress, decline and fall
of the republic-that temple was never closed
but three times. How long 1t will be till peace
is restored in Europe and on the American con-
tinent is beyond the power of human ken to
predict
There is no other European Power likely TO
be so seriously affected by a general war as
that Of the English oligarchy, particularly If it
should extend, as it undoubtedly will, to
their own island home. If the continent
Of Europe be soon in blaze it will
be impossible for Great Britain and Ire
land to escape the oontagion Comparing
the time Of the thirty years War of the Roses
the war between the Houses Of York and
Lancaster for the succession to the throne Ma.
