DELINQUENT SALES ON MONDAY
EUROPEAN TROUBLES.

Our monarchical friends @ across the
big pond have had fine time Of it during
the past three years Of American misery;
and while their hopes have all been upon
the side of the rebellion, not through love
Of the rebels but hatred and jealousy of
our powerful republic, they have turned
the war into q source Of profit. The de-
privation of the American cotton crop has
caused distress in some districts; but that
has been more than compensated by the
increased activity OF the European dock
wards and those branches of manufacture
which supply the wants of belEgerent ma
tons. They have grinned and chuckled
over the prophesied disruption and de-
s;ruction Of the Great Republic, and in
their glee forgot all those little questions
of difference which from time to time dis
turb the peace and harmony of Europe.
Until within the last few months, the long
season of war on this side of the Atlantic
has been one of profound peace there, and
the crowned heads have been hob nobbing
TO each other with the most distinguished
consideration. Encouraged by the troubles
Of repubhcaniSm, monarchy has seemed 10
have so fully proven its superiority, that,
in their unbounded satisfaction at its work
ings, they have sought to extend that form
of government TO the continent from which
it had long ago been expelled. France
has crowned reputed bastard Of Austria
Emperor of Mexico, and other crowned
heads have nodded assent thereto. Even
little beggarly Spain, contemplate and
deSpised of nations, has brIStled up and
put on airs with about the smallest and
most insignificant republic on earth-a re-
public that, when weaker than now,whip-
ped Spain. when she was respectable
third-rate power. This "good thing"
that the European Powers have had so
long is coming to an end.
The war-cloud that has been hanging
over Northern Europe will burst before
this year comes to a close, and involve
every nation on that side Of the water in
q tempest of trouble that will leave them
no leisure to attend to what may be trans
piring upon this continent. Our long
and bloody war gives signs OF speedy
termination, while the hosts are but just
marshaling for general melee in Europe.
The latest adviceS give evidence that
Great Britain, the cowed bully and brag-
CART, will be unable long TO maintain her
miserable attitude OF neutrality in the war
now going on between her German
cousins. Commenting upon this state of
European affairs, the New York Times, Of
May 10th, says:
The news from Europe By the Persia is Of
deep significance. Following close in the track

one exeeption-that exception the most important
one that could be named. The Queen no longer
takes sides secretly with the German despoi!ers
The most inVeteraIe and astute OF the prime
movers in the invasion OF Denmark, the Baron
Reust is specially singled out for the hospitaties
OF the Court at Osborne, while the second son OF
the Queen is ordered Berlin 10 be the recipient

people Of England and of the empire toward the

20 be fast approaching.
Old England is not the giant power
tina: she was years ago, and there are but
few nations that now tremble at the growl
of the British Lion. There is not that
stern. unwavering loyalty throughout Her
MajeSty's realms that is calculated to give
her statesmen confidence in plunging into
a general European war. If such a war
does come, and such q prospect seems
imminent, Great Britain will cut sorry
figure among nations before it is ended.
Perfdious AMI treacherous toward every
nation on earth, she has become hated of
all and as one of her most eminent states

not call single nation on earth her
