THE AMERICAN QUESTION IN EUROPE

miiiiic.'itc t 'o ine by iIioko witum 1 have ever found
corvi' -t in i:n ir .-tiitiMn • -fs.

pugnance evinced bv the Ciibiuet oi' St. .luniert
thai the Emperor is, I am tohl, annoyed heyon
measure, and iriBtructions have liee.n given to the
Bemi-tifheitil press to foreshadow in their articles
the possibility ol a rupture of the Anglo French
aliiance.
In support of these assertions of my informants
may betaken the fact Mint, surely enough, just such
a tieries ot artides is being puWished bv thejour-
t iKtlrf in question The Oiiitvon Rationale, wltich
is acting ns advanced scout of the Government in
the Roman question, has begun the anti-English
campaign by a long leader,entitled "Les Alliances
de la France"—the Alliances of France—wherein
it is stated that the "ententeatrdiaiebetween France
and England exists only in name, aud that
France now stand* alone amon« the powers ot
Europ«."" "Russia no longer seeks our alliance,"
says the Opinion Nationale; "sh* knows that we
cannot encourage her treatment of the Poles. —
Austria we cannot be allies with as long as we
prevent her from overrunning Italy; while Prussia
is so unstable and wavering, that we never know
where to find her."
The allianfe to small jiowers is all that islefr to
France, asserts the Opinion Nationale, while all
the Government organs take up the c.rv, and be-
sides, comment in the most significant manner up-
on the increased armaments of France, the migh-
ty preparations going on in all the Government
arsenals,and the increased activity shown in pre
paring the t oast defences. "We are nviking rea
dv." cry out the Paris journals, "for any emergen
xy."
The visit of the King of S'weeden here, gave rise
to many articles in the semi-official journal as to
the expediency of Fra ce making small alliaiic.es
Imi excess of zeal destroyed the eflect of the wri-
tiugs.
The King expressed himself highly gratified at
the mt.nnerin which he had been received by the
Emperor Napoleon and all the personages connec-
ted with the French Court. 1 am in position to
be able to inform you that a similar reception was
not experienced bv hie Majesty In London; he
could not, indeed have carried away with him anv
exalted idea of the courtesy which he had a right
to expect from her Majesty's Ministers. Count
Platen, the Swedish Envoy, thought it his duty
' to ofler to his MajeHty a grand dinner, at which
the English Ministers and other persons of distinc-
, -tiQD„w«rc.alfco invited. Jt was not without the
greatest difficulty that Lord Palmerston was pre-
vailed upon to condescend to ac<«pt the invitation,
and do hiB Swedish Majesty the honor of meeting
him at dinner. The Prime- Minister of Queei
Victoria, who can be so courteous and ati'able,
when circumstances require it, thought fit before
durring and afler the officiitHnnw; to show him-
self very stiff and morose and even haughty to all
the Swedes present, but especially so towards n s
' Majesty, Charles XV. This attitude on the part
of the noble Lord created some surprise. But it
soon beca e known that the British Government
wished to take this mode of intimating, to the Swe-
dish sovereign their displeasure at certain mutual
engagements entered into at Paris, the result of
which will indubitably be to convulse Euro)*
from end to ei d. The British Cabinet is perf-'ctl
aware ol the vast plans conceived by the King o'
Sweden, which it is not diliicult to understand,
are directed Hgainst England, whose naval suprem-
acy must be put down, and whose powerful licet
must be destroyed in the midst of a gen-ral con-
flagration by the union ofthenav:es ot-the secon-
dary poweis of Northern and Southern Europe to
that ot France.
Now what is the. cause of this hast assumed
enmity to England? One reason may be that
England prevented the visit ot the King ot Prus-
nia to Napohon 111; but then, that was expected
and although annoyance mas have been lelt, sti.il
the subject was not one to destroy the c lcnU- o<r-
d de. I hojte that the real reason is the one sta-
te! in the-commencement of tine letter. • England
is shv oi acting without France against theLnik-d
^;itesrt>ecahse, let us hope, there is too much
sympathy with a nice of the same nature, and ai-
ci>, pr if itwliy, she has no desire to act as cat's
n w to Franca. She knows that in the Hinited
States, be it North or South, there has always been
a feeling ot obligation felt towards France, am
thai iu a matter of protectorate, France woulc
•oon assume the ascendency over England
Still it is to be feared that the necessities of Eng
land and the im|>or unitie^ol Louts Napoleon may
cause her to come to a determination inimical to
the United States Government. It is the duty of
the Administration to guard against such an un
fortunate eventuality by a profier course of policy
towards both France and England.
> I am told that the report made by Prince Na-
poleon, on his return will determine whether France
shall not alone recognize the South. As I nave
always asserted, the visit of the Prince is a mo-
mentous one. It is also said that the Opinion Na-
tionale will publish no more letters from the Prince
on American matters.
Much stress is laid on the inefficiency of the
blockade of the Southern ports by the French
journals, while from the commencement of the
rebellion, the Government writers continu« to
make daily flings at the incapacity of the North-
ern Administration, and sneer at your military
operations
The French public is being gradually but surely
prepared for any unfrieudly action against the
Union, and evuiat present persons whosix mouths
ago were in favor of the North, are quite changed
in their ideas. Whenever she chooses to recog
uize the rebel States, France will meet the sympa-
thy of more than two-thirds of her subject**.
Is not this due in a great measure totbesupine-
ness ol President Lincoln's Cabinet? What else
can be expected but insult and sarcasm, when we
hear each mail, of the blockades, the sailing out
of privateers by te is and twenties the seizure o'
numberless prizes by them, and the wilful refusal
of the proper officers to guard against such pro-
ceedings.
Is the United States Government in earnest, or
•s it incapable? is asked constantly here: an d
what answer can Americandliere give to such in
quiries? Why in the name ol Heaven,should the
North, with its enormous surplus of- popu'ation,
never be able to Wring equal numbers to bear in
the encounters that take place with the rebels?—
Why should Gen. Lvon have but 5 or'i,000against
OHO?
W e cannot understand such mismanagement
here, and Americans abroad can but doubt th
honesty of purpose, or at ItJAbt. the capability
persons WuOse duty it is to attend to these
ters.
Thi« must end or th?.country will be ruined.
As it is, we haVe become thr jest and the sneer of
every penny-a-liner uf the European press, and it
must be awned, deservedly so. Let us hope that
the lately st jioiiited Generals will form our troops
somewhat irto sh ipe, and thai our Secretary ol
the > avy will see that we have some means ol
ridding the seas oi the piratical crafts of the
South.
te'l how many have strayed away and gone .off
from their regiments since they returned to ibe

have come here is less than those who have gone

LETTER FROM RUSSELL.
Washimgton July 29 18( 1
On this day week the Contederat-* .ould have
marched into the capital of the United States —
They took no immediate steps to follow up their1
unexpected success. To this moment their tuove-
">e'>tfl have betrayed no fixity of purpose or set-
tled plan to pursue an aggrnsaive way, or even
liberate Maryland" if they have the means ol do-
III it so
And, indeed, their suocess was. as I suspected,
not nown to them in i*.s full projiortions, ami
their loss combined, tierhapp, with the condition
oft eir <trmv, as much as pjlitical and prudential
motives actuating the'r leaders, may have had a
fair share in producing the state of inacii ity with
w' ic.h the Federalists have no reason to be dissat-
isfied.
The worbi sees that the North has not treatel
the Southerners as rebels—we will not say, it has
not dared to do so. Bui the Federalists have trea-
ted Confederates, up to this moment, as belliger-
ent®. Rebels are hanged, imprisoned, and shot at
liscretion. Their flugs are not received ; the ex
oha"g* of prisoners witu jebels is ridiculous. A
regular blockade of reoel ports is quiet anomalous.
It rem tins to be seen, atler Mr. Davis' recent
hints, wnat thegovermnent datea to do in the case
A the "pirates" whom its cruizera caught in the
*ct, red handed, of privateer policy. Meantime
the arm raised to chastise and subdue has been
stru;k down, and the attitude of the North is just
now defensive.
There Will be on the part o;' the one pople,
whom tlte'American press has m -M. insult ii and

either incompetent or artful : it ie quite certain he
is not actuated by clemency or a generous pity.—
Engineers are hard at work strengthening the Fed-
eral jiosition on the south bank of the river; but
forts do not constitute safety. Wi hout stout
tearte behind their lines and hreastworkss abattis
and redoubts avail nothing.
It must be tha' the Confederates are deficient
iu the means of transport, or in actual force to
make an attack which is so obvious, if they de-
ire to show the North it is not possible to subdue
them.
There seems no reason,not connected with trans-
port, equipment; or discipline, why the Confeder-
ates should not have been able last week to take
he field witii 7o,000 men,in f.vo corps ; one quite
trong enough to menace the Federal force on
tne right bank of the Potomac, and to hold it in
check,or to prevent :t going to the v her side ; the
other to cross into Man land, which is now in parts

In the event of success, the political advantages
would be very great at homr- arid abroad ; and
tiiere would be a n w ba e of operations gained
closet,the Federal lines, while the laiter's ad-
vantages oi holdinc the Potomac and Chesapeake
bay would be much neutralized nnu finally des-
troyed. The navy yard here wou'd fall into the
Confederates, bauds. Fort Wadiington would
probtbly soon follow. Fortres- Monroe would be
condemned, to greater isolation. Philadelphia
iiself would be in imminent danger should the
Coofuderatec attemjitgreater a^greewon.
J'ut, for one, Gen. Bea.ircgard will never con-
sent to any plan of operations, in which success
is not rendere i as ceruin as may be by all possi-
ble precautions aud he might not favor a propo-
sal that would lend lo dividing an army into two

down the Rio Grande. They left Mesilla on ths
20th 'une and have been on the river ever sinoe,
without stopping long at any place. The voyage
was made in two willow canoes lashed together,
loaded with the bsggage and provisions, and with

They got along without accident until within
00 miles ol Eaele Pass, when their craft was up-
set in some Falls, but the water was not deep an<
they were soon under way again. Near Laredo,
in going down some Falls, were again upset and
again without loss. At the ' Ten Foot Falls,"
near Roma, the raft was once more capsized and
all the baggage was lost, There are at this point
three falls, one of five feet, and two of, each, ten
feet. Above these Falls, navigation is not prac-
ticable. The current is not very strong, the wa-

ficer, in thr-^^loT'on Fairfax Court—house,
which must liote been sent to him as soon as it

It ;s also ssser.'c 1 that Gen. Beauregard knew
beforehand of M owell's advance.
There is n" re: -on to believe that the Confed-
erate treatment of wounded or prisoners wa-j what
it was reported to nave been. There may have
been some isolated acts of atrocity in the heat of
battle or pursuit; but it is only justice to the
