Some speek. Of Foreign Trouble.

There Is some reason to apprehend that
the ominous fnrebodings IF the public re-
specting the singular absence OF all men
tion, in the Presidents Message, of our
relations with France and England, are
only too fully justified by the actual con-
dition Of affairs. It is now evident that
our diplomatic intercourse with these
countries is, to say the least, far from ami
cable, and that it will require all Mr..
Stewards address and craftsmanship to
preserve even sham neutrality for any
heightened period. The causes that pro-
duce this unfriendly feeling are only too
apparent. In the first place, the re-elee-
ton of Mr.. Lincolnis as much misunder.
stood in Europe as every other political
and military feature in the United States.
The adverse aristocratic ruling classes seem
to think that the powerful minority of
million and a half of American citizens
that voted for General McC lellan are ready
to cooperate with foreign enemies and do.
nestle traitors against the reelected Pres
ident. They cannot, or will not under
stand the American principle that prompts
political parties to sink former bitternesses
and animosities upon election day. and
affect to believe that the present is a suita-
hle time for cooperating with Mr.. Jeffer-
son Davis. They do not comprehend that
the election turntd simply upon the means
that should be adopted to restore the
Union, and that it leaves, as it found, the
Democratic and Republican parties unit
upon this one grand idea. Hence, the
anti American press and the rebel emissa-
ries in England raise great hue and cry
IN favor of the recognition Of the Conted-
eracy, and claim that il would now be safe
TO take this long desired step. The his
tory of the United States since the hrst
week in November, may, and we trust
will, go far towards disabusing foreign
opinion upon this point, by demonstrating
that the nation was never more fully re-
,tosed TO maintain its honor and integrity
at all risks and all hazards. Another po-
tent reason for the unpleasant aspect OF
our foreign affairs occurs in the splendid
successes of our armies, and the move
ments by land and sea that portend the
speedy downfall Of the rebellion. This
journal long since pointed out that the
crisis of our foreign relations would occur
when it became apparent that open active
foreign assistance would be necessary to
ave the Confederacy from ruin. We held
hat the English and French Governments
would letthe South fight 1t OUT alone, so
long as there was a possibility of its sue
cess; but that different policy might be
anticipated in case there was probability
Of the restoration Of the Union. The hour
has now come when it is necessary for the
friends of the Slave Confederacy to show
their hands, or witness its ruin under our
advancing victorious fleets and armies.
We can only hope that Grant, Sherman,
Thomas, Porter, Dahlgren, and our brave
,oldiers and sailors may be able to crush
out the rebellion before France and Eng
and can get ready to help it. This seems
rhe only adequate means of settling this
ugly diplomatic question, which evidently
Derplexes the Secretary of State and the
President.--N. Y. Sun, .gr ...-s-..-
