P. SNGI4AND AMD AMERICA. 1 BrlUshi Feel I an ud Policy Toward Aaaerleau Corrnondmc pf the ffew-York Times. -laoa, Pridsy. Dec IX 1802.

I do not think that reflecting Eaglishuien are surprised at th feeling expreased by American papers, since the postponement of the French proposal for, joint intervention. Weil-informed Englishmen understand the motives of the Government, and they give Americana credit for some degree of It haa never been concealed that the disruption of the Union sent' a thiill of joy through the governing classes of English society. It I not alone that- America, in population, power, manufacture and commerce, was becoming the rival of Great Britain. It 'was because America was acquiring such an influence on English ground as threatened to revolutionize her institution. It was America that gave England the Reform BUI.

It was American influence and example that waa leading oa to the emancipation of the masses of this British population. Ho sooner, did a civil war break out in America, than there went up a ahout of exultation from the Conservative of Greet Britain. I do not mean the political party so-called, for I believe that PaxaixasToa and Bussuu. ar a Tory in their heart as Dinar and Disxakli. Perhaps they are more so.

I mean the whole aristocracy the governing class in Great Britain. As soon ins the American war broke out they threw reform to the; wind, boldly broke every promise that had been made, and laughed te scorn every effort to Americanize British Institutions. I i It wae only ia this war that the Whigs, or so-called Llberala, kept power for a day. It waa by being more conservative 'than the Tories had dared to be. The disruption ofjthe American Union gives a new lease of power to the governing classes In j.

Why, then, you may does England decline to interfere in favor of the South, or why postpone auch interference 1 It is because peace is the last thing they wapt. They believe that the South cannot be conquered. They hope that the North will become utterly exhausted, and that it may be split up into factions and divisions. They wish the West to divide from the East, and, to unite Oregon, which they. once claimed as their own.

and California to British Columbia, either aa a British colony or an Independent nation. They would rather feed Lancashire for years to come, than have the Union restored, to be a great military and naval aad the advance' guard of popular freedom. The real reason why England will not hasten to interfere, or take anytueaauree to end the war, ia that she wiahe the North to be exhausted, beaten, humbled and broken into fragments, as she believes it will be, if the war goee on. Her AaAemas will frighten your commerce from the aeas; ber contraband trade ra will supply the South with military tore her Pre aad emissaries wikl do-everythJng that caa be dona to sow disaffection in the loyal State and while her manufacturer are fattening on your commerce, and ber starving millions are feeding upon your harvests, she carries on the war by proxy, with email coet and entailer against her always' scorned and now more than ever hated rival. Farthermore.

it Is the belief that before many month there will not only be division, and per hap civil war, ia th North, bat that the Govern meat will be overwhelmed by one of the most terrible financial explosion evsr seea in a civilised country. EagLUh poUttcsl economist look, for a monetary criaie that will paralyze ta Government, If do not utterly destroy U. They believe that America I on the brink ef a terrific precipice, or over the crater of a volcano which may at any meeaent burst lata ad i eruption. Why, then, should England Interfere It weald he to hinder the very disaster that are a caaae of rejoicing. Whatever may be the feelings or the tnetivee of France or -Bessia, there can be tie doubt of those of England.

-The Government, which.le.nmply organ of the aristocratic powar. look upon Aaaer tea a the rival and toe foe of England and still mora upon American principlee a dangerous to British But their manufactures their great cotton interest is in terrible suffering and mar be destroyed. What then Do you think the aristocracy of England are particularly fond of the cotton Lords Are they In love with Coaonv and Bbight Eetnember, what friends the North and the Union have England are to be feund'nmong the Corn-law and Beform-bill agitators. Tou mast look for them at Uaacheeter aud Bochdale. The great Lord the? hereditary aristocracy of England are not at a.1 sorr toe the wing of these Americanizing gentlemen clipped.

They are able to feed Lancashire. Look at Lord DB-ar, th other day, heading a ubecription with $20,000. and thea giving another $20)00.

It has been kept alive by nearly every traveler who his 'vlfcited America af written a-t- book abot her, and by the review1' and the Press generally. It Is an altogether different feeling from any that England enter tain towards! her old European rival. It is a deeper hale, a more bitter jealousy, a more contemptuous rivalry. Now the gnat Power looming grandly ii the West, snd threatening first to revolutionize England, and then absorb her colonies, and then deprive her of her boasted position in the van of civilization, seems broken.

Is it strange that England should rejoice In the prospect of its humiliation or dissolution? I I do hot aed how it will end. The progress of the jNationaltoavy ia alarming. So is the energy with which armies are raised and renewed. Peace may come of humility. Abandon the effort to conquer the and you may have peace with England.

Persist in the effort, and give aigns of approaching success, and there will be intervention and warj Whatever else may and whatever it may coat, England doea not mean to see a restoration of the Union. She will run no risk that can be avoided she will take no part in the 'contest until there Is need. She will gle all the moral and material support to the South that she' can give with safety but she will also be ready to Intervene -when Intervention becomee necessary. But as for ending the war, in Ite prevent aspect, England Is in no hurry. She will bear all thef hurt that comes to her with great cheerfulness so long a th North and South ar engaged in destroying each other.

have, perhaps, said 'all this bafora; but it eeema to me important enough to repeat, and to dwell! upon! with a little emphasis; and well enough alsojfor American politicians to consider. The Emperof has not spoken- He has waited to hear from Washington. I have no doabt that he has made up his mind, and that yon will! hear from him. 'j 'J Bear Admiral Wuxxg is becoming very tiresome to the authoritiee of Nassau.
