American affairs—more especially the Presi- dent’s message—receive great attention at the bands of the English press. The fact that Mr. Lincoln rejects the idea of negotiation, and urges continued war, had the effect of animating the Liverpool cotton market, and causing an ad- vance in prices. Italso imparted more buoyancy to the Man- chester market, while on the London Swek Exchange the financial statement was regarded as unfavorable, and caused aslight general de- cline in American securities The Daily News says that those who have followed the events of the lasttwo montis with unprejudiced minds, will find nothings urpris- ing—nothing that was not to be fully expected in Mr. Lincoln's announcement that the war must go on, and itaddaces arguments in sap- port of this decision. The Morning Star also thinks the message, in #0 far asit does not in any way propose to make overturcs tothe South, is just what might have been expected. It applauds the Presi- dents firm atiitnde on the slavery question, and says that history does not record a more striking instance of retribution than has fallen upon the South in the matter of slavery.
