European papers as late As the middle Of March,
gives us the following interesting view Of the
policy and calculations Of foreign potsntates:
THE Europe Processes to be well informed

on the American question. Ii states that lille
the peace negotiations between the belligerents
were still pending. Lord Palmerston and Earl
Russell declared IL confidsnc. to several diplo-
matists and particularly TO Prince d. la Tour
..vergne, the French Ambassador in England.
that no serious result could follow these n-go-
tiatisRs. They added. that neither Al Washing
ton nor at Ri.h.lUnd WAS peace really contrm-
plated, and they gave 1t to be understood that.
according tu a vicrs received At the Foreign
Office, the South might Yet sustain military re-
verses without being compelled TO enter into
compromise, ana without giving ground for the
belief that hosiilities likely to eease for at
least year.
Through all this appears, that which is no;

and England are by no means anxious for ths
establishment of peac. on the basis OF compfo-
mise or Southern subjugation, but prefer 70 Sc

The English paper. do not scruple to eI-
press similar sentiments The Liverpool Mer-

FROM MExICo.-Sew York, Nay 13.-Tke
Herald's City OF Mexico correspondence iur-
nishes some important intelligence. The news
OF tn, National triumphs in this country has
afforded vast encouragement TO the adherrnts o!
Juarez; and his caus., which short time ago
was hopeless, is now recovering ground. A
number OF victories over the inperalists have
recently been gained and new spirit appears
to BE- infused into the Republican armies Phe
report Of the capture by them OF Monterey
and Saltilo, Is conirmrd. and there were ru-
mors thu they had also taken Matamoras.
These events restore nearly the whole of North
ern Mexico to the authority Of Juarez. Several
other republican successes have been achieved.
The imperslsts were as much alarmed as
the Liberalists were encouraged by the sup
preston Of our rebellion, owing to the fears
