Tie Asia arrived yesterday with three
days later news from Europe. We learn
that the Empcrorof The Frcnc will address
nnorrcr circular 10 n Courts of England
and Ru sia upon the necessity oi immediate
med I, II or intervention into the ntnirs
OF this country. We are not inclin'd 10
believe TIA ether Of these powers VIII
rrm, II II more favorable answer 10 Narolc-
ou than was made TO his first demand of
similar mature; but we deem the fact of his
making his 'und proposal most significant
Of an evil int '.. towards our Union.
II is, We fear, the last move before recog-
milton, by France alone Of the DAYS Gov

our blockade will h. krukcn after II short
pause, allowing time for Eugli II to follow
the example France will have set her. IL
il for this purposC--thc breaking of tho
bluckade-ihat France has several tremen-
dUously powerful plated irigatcs in our
waters. She had no need of them for the
inland expedition to MeXico.-Shc well
knew that, ms the McXicans have no navy,
her armorcd vessels were o: no use in the
Gulf, save MS regards any cmergicncicS
which might arise in case of n recognition
by France OF the Davis Government.
We must not expect that fear of the con-
sequences will deter France from an alli-
aucc with the Southern Contcdcracy. We
have, up TO the present moment, proved IN
capable of putting down the rebellion, and,
aS natural consequence, Napoleon Will
feel assured that strengthened by his MD,
Davis would prove too strong for Us. The
disastrous defeat NJ Fredericksburg Will
add to the probabilities of this conclusion,
and only make Napoleon deem himself the
more secure in his movements against us.
He will reason from facts, as he has an un-
doubted right to, and will judge that we are
incnpuhlc of Subduing his forces, combined
with those of Davis. We must not expect
him to Judge us as me Judge ourselves, nor
that he should be aware of our entire re-
sources; and thus we must admit that were
he to interfere, events wOWld seem TO give
him reason We are divided upon qucs-
lioas of vast import to the life of our Union,
and make to the world n sorry spectacle.
Another induccmcnt to Napo.en to inter-
fcre will be the decree of emancipation
He will understand that all charccs for
cotton crops are at an end until that ques-
ton is settled; he will pretend that fearful
crimes and horrors will follow the work
ings of that decree throughout the South;
that scrvilc nsuwection, upon scale to
tcrrify all mankind will soon arise and he
will make humanity reason for interier-
cnce; and we much fear that here he will

cotton will be cut short if the negroes are
to be freed From Russia We may contin-
ne to expect friendly lations. She has
no immense interest at stake pushing her
Oh to interfere in our struggle; the email
cipation act will not prove TO her the bug
bear it will to France and Engiand-She
has Just set the example Of an extended
and vast enamel patton, and VIII more than
likely sympathizc with Mr.. Lincoln de-
cree. BE that as it nn we are assured
that France and England Will deem II II
fearful blow at their commerce and that
from motives of self fintcrcst they may feel
all the more inclined to aid Davis
The French Minister nj Washington, it
issaid. openly states that during this mon'h
his Government will mediate III favor oi
the South This assertion OF NJ. MeIcicrS
i. tr;ic. puts all doubt up on that question
AT an end We must and are doubtless
preparing to meet with energy and deter
mination the coming eventUulitles which
menace all we hold dear. The people Will
call to severe account those having the
/ management of orr ailairs, If, at this hour
o. peril they neglect their manifest duties.
We must prepare to battle for our Con-
stituton and laws-for our great and glOn-
ous Union. There is not moment to be
ost. Let our immense resC urccs be fully
dcv eloped, and, above all let party sQual-
bles and the intrigues Of politicians cease
in this the moment Of great danger to our
beloved country There must now be u
united movement. We must prepare To
J sustain al all perils the integrity off our
Republic.
