The Presidents Message Ina Enginnd-
The Position Wc Hold in tho World.
The Ausralasian, which arrived yesterday,
brings US shc response of the English press TO
President Johnson's Message. Ii had been
looked for with great anxiety, and was eagerly
caught up and commented upon. II was re-
ceived with much satisfaction. The journals of
all parties express themselves in the same
contented and commendatory strain. The
British government and people seem to breathe
freely now, as il heavy weight had
been lifted from their minds by the
tone of the Presidents language. The
newspapers are agreeably disappointed
with the moderation, dignity and statesman
like character of the message They say it
sought 10 be accepted in a friendly spirit"
that cit furnishes the world with satisfactory
auguries Of peace, and that it illustrates a
spirit OF manly. straightforward honesty and
fair play The anxiety they manifest to
strain q peaceful and friendly meaning from
the language, and to be very complimentary
to the President and people Of this country,
augurs well for the future, and shows the posi-
ton we occupy. They do not like that "little
bilp' OF the Anglo-rebel corsairs hanging over
them, but are content that it is not pressed just
now in warlike spirit. We give in another
part Of the paper the remarks Of these jour
mails. They will speak for themselves.
A few years have produced q mighty change
as to the standing Of the United States
in the eyes Of the world. II is not
long ago that every word Of the great
oracle at the Tuilcries was watched aud
scanned with profound interest. The fate
Of nations seemed to hang on his look,
and peace and war rested on his breath.
The Emperor was The centre of all interest.
What is the Emperor going to do next. trem-
bling nations and statesmen asked. But it ap-
pears now the United States is absorbing all
attention in Europe. President johnson has
taken the place of Louis Napoleon in the pub
lie mind al Paris and London. People are
more anxious now to know what the political
news is from the United States than from any
other part of the world. The COOL dignifed
| and firm tone Of the President relative to the
difficulty with France about Mexico and with
England about the privaieers puzzles the peo-
pie on the other side. They are in a state of
trepidation, fearing the course this govern
ment may ultimately take France and Eng
land are aware that they never have engaged
in war 30 disastrous as would be one with
the United States. There is little affection
among the ruling classes for US; but they have
lately learned to regard us with the greatest In
terest and TO have wholesome fear of us. The
