inferred that they will have been raised in estimation by these events. [From Wilmer & Smith's European Times.] Having fared so badly in South Carolina, President Lincoln will doubtless pause before he proceeds further in the same direction.-- Indeed he is likely to have work on his hands at home, for a belief prevailed that the Southern forces would make an attack upon Washington; but their anger, in all probability, has been appeased by the possession of the Federal fort in Charleston harbor; which has thus been secured under circumstances more favorable than could have been anticipated.-- Both the opposing parties have done enough to redeem their pledges. The spirit of Mr. Lincoln's inaugural has been vindicated by his attempt, however unsuccessful, to relieve Fort Sumter; and the earnestness of the South in the course on which it has entered is seen in its determination to subdue and seize the fort which has been an eyesore since the commencement of these troubles.

y the sword. Just now, non-intervention is alike our policy and our duty, the near future is big with momentous events, which may work a vast change in the situation of to-day, and until these attain to fruition, for good or evil to America, Great Britain has but one duty to discharge, and that is to remain passive and bide her time." There is still another class of Englishmen, however, whose sentiments are not to be looked for in the organs of the cotton mills or the money changers — tha the manufacturers, the ship-owners, and the free-traders can see their way, through his instrumentality, to better markets and more remunerative freights, than the North, with its Morrill Tariffs and its Navigation Laws, is likely to offer. Great Britain, we must remember, has ever been the most liberal patron of slavery, in America, and now that her material prosperity is come to depend so extensively upon the existence of that institution, we must not be too sanguine that her sentimental hu

The Guardian, in short, is thoroughly impregnated with the se cession view of the Sumter affair, and as if in natural manifestation of the fellow-feeling always existing between the cotton spinners of the manufacturing districts and the cotton growers of Carolina, hence casts about all the odium of beginning the war upon Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet. The whole transaction, we are told, "completes the character of Mr. Lincoln's policy as including every known kind of blunder." "Morally," moreover, "he is as fully responsible as the Montgomery Government for transferring the matters in dispute between them, from the arbitrament of reason to that of arms, for his formal intimation to them that he was about to resort to force was a challenge, which they

As soon as its walls had received a certain amount of damage, the effect of the firing of the wooden structures within the work, Major Anderson struck his flag, like a sensible soldier, and was conveyed with his men to Charleston, where they had doubtless had the most hospitable reception, and the beson is most dangerous, as the accounts of the frantic excitement in Washington on the arrival of the news of the collision at Fort Sumter, and the surrender of Major Anderson, sufficiently prove. Under these grave circumstances it is that Mr. Gregory proposes to ask the House of Commons on Tuesday next to affirm the expediency
Jefferson Davis (search for this): article 3
Fort Sumter must soon, we fear, if we may rely at all on the drift of the recent news, issue in civil war. The rumor that the Southern Confederation intends to anticipate an attack by moving upon Washington is scarcely likely to be true, for President Davis is too sagacious a man to take a step which would so enrage the North as to induce it to enter heart and soul into an internecine contest with the South. If he were wise, indeed, he would not have ventured any active collision at all, such are, to recognize the Cotton Confederacy, it will be strange if it does not make a greater noise than ever against the "slaveholders" and the "slaveholding Government." The noise, however, will soon subside, we fancy, into a silent whisper, if Jeff. Davis is able to make a respectable fight, and the manufacturers, the ship-owners, and the free-traders can see their way, through his instrumentality, to better markets and more remunerative freights, than the North, with its Morrill Tariffs and it

with the news, as sweeping exaggerations, of a purely "sensational" character, yet, nevertheless, such as to excite on all hands the liveliest anxiety for further intelligence from America. All the journals, however, it is to be noted, are not thus reserved, and of these exceptions, perhaps, the most noteworthy is the Manchester Guardian, the especial organ of the great manufacturing interests. If Her Majesty's Ministers viewed things through the Guardian's spectacles, the Honorable Mr. Yancey would at once be taken by the hand in Downing street and introduced there as the representative not only of a government de facto, but a government de jurs.
