Indeed, it would not be surprising if they were delnyed for some time longer, as it is evident that the unanimity between ‘the three Powers is by no means #0 complete as the French jour uals wish to persuade the public. The firm and quite thrown them off the track, and instead of leading to an immediate declaration of war, a8 might bave been ex- pected from the high tone they had assumed, it eppears to have brought them back to a more peaceable frame of mind. By grasping the nettle danger firmly, we have perhaps deprived it of ite sting. It is agreed on all sides, and even admitted by Za France, that the British govern- ment bas declined to join Napoleen in his proposed ulti- matum, or even to send ‘identical notes,’’ which would be the first preliminary to hostile measures against us, and if England backs out, we may be quite sure that Aus- tria, who always looks weil before she leaps, will not go forward without her, Unless, therefore, the pressure of public opinion or the jutoxication of bh Mexico should hurry the cool and cautious Emperor of the French imto @ coup de cele, the reat of the year will proba- bly be spent in negotiation and in efforts on his part to cemont the understandiog with bis two confederates, who at the present moment seem boih ready to desert Lim. Opinions are divided as to the motives which have caused England to moderate ber tone and to use her in- fluence in restraining the other Powers, instead of insu- gating them against us, ag vhe did iu the previous stages of the Polish question. Till now Eng! bas always taken the initiative. Tt was Lord Russell who addressed the first Femovstravces tv our Cabinet on the subject of fPoland, His despitches were distinguished from those of Franc and Austria by their uncourteous and ‘even acrimonious language: and the proposal of an armistice, which bas com- plicated the negotiations by wounding the pride of the Russian government and the Russian nation, proceeded from him. France and Austria only followed in his wake, and were drawn on by the energy and vehemence of the British Minister to greater lengths than they had appa rently contemplated. Can this have a‘! been a sham, in- tended only to ombroil France with Russia, and produce such feolings of enmity between them as would render their future alliance impossible? It i¢ well known that this alliance bas jong been the bugbear of England, The intimate relations into which the two empires had entered since the Crimean war were viewed by her with the utmost jealousy, and xhe was laboring wader the constant apprehension that the Eastern ques- tion would be settled by them in a way prejudicial to her interests and to the safety of her indian possessions, What, then, could be more desirabie for England than & diificulty between these Powers whick should put an end to inewg Criendahip before it bad ripened inte an alliance, and which, withont proceeding to hoatititiee—the issue which might rage the preponderacce of either of them to an inconvenient beizti—would effectually precinde all forther chance of their ture co-operation on any poli. teal question’ If such were the calculations of the British siatesmmen, it must be acknowledged that they have been acted upon with equal abjiity and success, and they may now sleep quietly for many years, without being dis- turbed in their siumbers by ibe phantom of a Franco- Rossitn alliance. It is nuggested by others that the change in the attitude of Englind 1s chiedy owing to the events on your side of the Atlantic It wcertaiuly undeniable, and can hardly be quite accidental, that it coincides exactly with the de feat oi Lee and the surrender of Vicksburg.

THE AMERICAN QUESTION. British War Reports. ENGLISH OPINION OF THE FALL OF VICKSBURG AND PORT HYDSON—GUERILLAS ON THB BANKS OF TH MISSISSIPPI RECOMMENDED. (Hagerstown, Md., (July 28) ‘correspondence of the Lon- ion ‘Times. For months and months the press of England and Ame- rica has taught tts readers to believe that on tho {ute of Vicksburg hinged the fate of the rebellion. It bas been 10 vain to raise 4 faint voice of warning that Vicksburg aud Port Hudson might stiud or might fail, but that, if bothefell, the Missis-ippi would no more be opened to federal commerce than would the Yang-tze Kiang. Both ha Hen—what noxty It has always been held by many wiko heads in the South that the policy of fixing upon certain strong pots ou the river, like Vicksburg Port Hudson, and trying to covvert them into ratars, impregnable from land or water, was # mistake, and would so be proved sooner or later.’ Such points, it waa argued, oflered a resistance to the Nort. which, with their facilitles of water communication, thoy were admirably prepared to cope with. As soon as it be- came ¢yideat that gunboats and wooden vessels could pasg batteries like those of Vicksburg with impunity, it bechme useless to expose large bodies of men avd «nce of war inateriat to be besieged by lund. Nothing e is wanted in regard to ihe Mississippi than small bodies of queritlas wpm erther bank, who will pick off the pilots of commercial vessels, and occasionally send a six-pounder spot through the cabins, All the forces of the United tates army and navy combiued could not prevent every commercial veasel which desconds from St. Louis to Now Orleans being tired at dozens of times in her long passage frow city to city. The Contederates have lost the two strongholds situated for defence, and, if report speaks truth, they are about to be garrisoned, as well as Grand Gulf und Natchez, by the North, It’ will probably take hot mapy mouths to teach the jatter that their govern- ment is far as evor from the possession of the Mississippi, and that the successes of General Grant's arms will 00 more restore the Union than did the capture of New Or- leans. Such are the arguments of many Uhousands of Con- federates, Jn contirmation of thelr opinion, Iam bound to record that never, at any period of my residence with- in the confederacy, did I seo the spirit of resistance to Northern domination go flagrant aod indomitable, Vicks- burg and Port Hudson may fall, Charleston and Mobile may bo taken—just as every seaport town was taken and held by England auring the Revolutionary war—but there is bebind them an enormous area of richly productive country which is unconquerable. The resolution shat, come what may, never shall the South go under, crops up and meets you at every tur, and bas not bated one jot of heart or hope because the horizon is for the moment gloomy and clouded, TH ASSAULT ON CHARLESTON—TRIBUTE TO ADMI ere 4a, in my judgment, onty one circums'ance ‘ ed with the present federal attack upon Charleston whieh justifies apprebension in regard to the possibility of its success. It isto be found im the character and ability of the naval officer in command. All Englishmen who have the advantage of keowing Admiral Dahigren will bear testimony that in scientific kuowledge of all that pertains toordnance and guunery he bas not a living superior.¢ ‘To this knowledge he adds a tranquil energy of character which js a ‘refreshing contrast to the bombast of most federal officers. Any attack conducted wholly or in part by such an officer cannot fail to be formidable. But uj to the time there is present reason to th’ ‘that it will be impossible for ‘the federals to reduce Battery Wagner (which is the rut that thoy aro at pre- sent trying to crack) the season which introduces the equinoctial gales shall have commenced. Nothing is more common iu the latitude of Charleston than gale: of great violence about the middle of August. The fede will then have vo otber method of assailing the batt than from their land approaches upon Morris Island. ‘These approaches must d@ conducted entirely the surface of the ground, If a trepch to the depth of two foot is dog in the sand it fills instantly with water. There is, therefore, little possibility of ad- vancing by parallels. Jt is doubtful apy batteries which the federals can construct upon the island can reduce a gasemated work like Fort Wagner. But, even assuming that Fort Wagver is taken, the federals will then have to take the work at Cummings’ Point (a leas strong work tban Fort Wagner) before tney can open breaching batteries from the end of Morris Isiand against Fort Sumter, the distance being one thou- sand two hundred and y yards. after the destruc- tion of Fort Sumter (and it may be conceived in what condition. if it ve reduced, it will be handed over to the federais) the work of reducing Charleston will only have commenced. The conclusion to which all who are ad- mitted to some knowledge of the resources of the de- fence cannot but come is that, if Charleston is seriously endangored, the trek of reducing it will severely task Yankee patience and pertinacity, and, were it not for the experience of the past, might be considered certain to exhaust even such long suftering endurance as has been #0 long exhibited by Engiaud and France.

Assuming that General Johnston found himvelf unable to relieve Vicksburg, hard to understandt why some other move, such as nm to Kentucky, or a descent upon the army ot 8 and the relief o Port Hudsou, might not have been successtully under. taken, Bat at a moment when in this city feeling ran high upon this subject, it is safer to await fuller inform: Imer state of feeling belore amy attempt en praise or binme is prematurely undertaken. The hopeful feature iv regard vo the West is that the covern- meut seems very well aware that there has been a great want of management and of harmonious ac’ion among the grerais engaved in Western operations, and is earnestly veut upon introduciog an improvement, — In addition to the men under General Johnston's command, there are acroas the Mississippi some forty or Ofty thousand men under General Kirby Smith, an admirable otticer; and it 1s believed that, south of the Missouri line, General “mith holds the whole country, with the exception of Helena. io Arkansas.

Anglo-Southern View of the “Situation” im Amertea. {From the London Index (rebel organ), August 13.} Nhe federais boast of the territory they have gained, and their organs iu this country claim that wherever a federal army marches there is a lasting gain to the fede- ral cause. Now, if we take tho seceded States in order, we shall find that the progress made by the United States artoy, in comparison with what remains to accomplish, is almost insiguificant. Take the State of Virginia, A por- tion of this State, in the neighborho.d of the Battimore aod Obio Railroad, revolutionized by Mr. Lincoln, was federal in its sympathies fram the first, and has remained so. The federals hold Norfolk and the surrounding country, with a portion of the Yorktown peninsi id have temporary occupation of the Shenandoah they boid held this time last year; and a victory of the Contede. rates—a very probabie event—would sweep them once more into gt hey and Washington. ‘the tate of Gen. Milroy shows how precarious is thotr tenure upon the territory of the Old tominion In North Carolina they have made no progress: lor twelve mouths. They still hold Newbern, whence they send out bands to plunder ‘and burn, but the ground is not theira five bundred yarce beyond their outiving pickets [oa South Carolina the Northern army has still less te boast of. It has not yet reached the mainland. «[t bas not even made an impres- sion upon the outer defences of Charleston. It hoids Beaufort and St. Heleas Island, as it did oighteen months ago. Georgia is intact. In Florida the federais have de- etroyed thriving towns, but have gained no permancot footing except on the coast. They have made no impres: sion in Alabama or the upper portion of Mississippi. ‘They have lost Galveston—thelr only foothold in Texas. Their actual conquests are limited to portions of the State of Louisiana, temporarily overrun by Northern troops, the river feta of the States of Mississippi and Arkan. gas, and part of the State of Ter nessee. Now. this bas been achieved with the loss of more than five hundred thousand men, at incredibic exvense, at the crst of civil war, actual or threatening. in Northern cities. Aad what does it amount to? Simply to this:—That where a Northern army is strong evough, it locates itself in or travl a hostile territory ; that it hoids only the ground upon which it is encamped, and that the moment it evacuates a position Confederate troops—guerillas or regular forces— occnpy it. Why, at this moment we hear of Kose crans pushing forward for Chattanooga and threateving Georgia; but in Western Tennessee the Confederate army is recruiting, and fighting is goipg on with varying success. Let us travel (rom the seceded States into the border States. What is going on in Koutucky? General Burnside is proclaiming martial law «nd issuing procia- mations against disaffection. Large bodies of Confederate troops are ravaging the country and destroying Northern property, and pitched battles are fought. A little further north we find even the fodera! States unsafe; Indiana and Ohio traverred by a considerable Confederate force, which is only deceated aud captured after doing millions worth of damage to federal property. In the tace of these un- deniable facts, to talk of the prospect of subjugation is worae than absurd. Even if there were a | Southern minority favorable to the reconstruction of the Union, the work of reconquering aud of holding sub ect nearly @ mil- lion of square miles of immensely fertile, thinly popu- lated and insccessible territory, would be beyond the pewers of the North. But when every man, womau and child loathes and curses the enemy as he passes, when, as Mr. Vallanfigham testifies, every Southerner spurns pa idea of reconstruction, the task is a physical imposs!- itity. Conquest would be an impossibility even if the Confede- rate armies were reduced to as_low a state of morale and ineffictency, and to the insignificant numbers assigned to them by federal journals But the Sonth bas large armies sili in the field, and it has vast resources to falt back upon, There areat this moment at least 350,000 mea in arme in the South, Tho last callof the President will strengthen them by 200,000, The South bas abundance of acme and ammunition, a fine artillery, and skilful ger rals, Fightin the defensive, it can economise its Ces; and it ought to, ond wil}, account for federal armies of greatly superior numbers. It must be observed that the more contracted are the Confederate lines, the more available strengta ber commanders have for the de- fence of assatlable point. ‘The vast area which the South has hitherto defecded has doubtless told upon Northern resources and endurance. But it had the disad- vantage of greatiy exposing the weakness of the defence. The North, by {ts enormous vayal superiority on the Trivers aud the coasts, was always able to bring over- whelming numbers to bear at any given point; and he federates were compelled to fight the invader where bis w: communications almost inevred him success. Now that Johnaton’s army has fallen back from the Missiesippi, and has retired to the Tennessee mountaus, the contest will be more equal, Henceforth the unrivalled facilities of tranaport enjoyed by the federals wii! cexse. Their armies, if they march intgod, must carry their own supplics. There are no great rivers to aid them, but painful marches thi ban ensily defensible country of primeval forests and few reads await them. Bragg avd Jobnston must have be- tween them, with the troops that were paroled from Vicksburg and in due course exchanged , at least 100,000 men. These with a gallant popatation to back them, make up a very formidable ary, so formidable that we doubt very much if the Northern generals will adventure any inland movement this season. Mobile, SAvaupab and Charleston are threatened. But the safety of Mobile ought to be secured by the presence of Johnston's army at Okolona, and Savaonah aod Charleston, if they should fall, will, no doubt, bave added their due quota to the bloody of casualties his at last wearying out even the savage aspirations cf the Northern mob. But even if the remaining ports of the Atiantic const should suffer the tate of New Orieans, their fall would not alter the result. The war might still be carried on for twenty Years. At the end ot that time the South wil be a wil- derne: it it wenuld be still unconquered. What the North would have become it is difficult to guess. THE MEXICAN THRONE.

(From the Osh Doutsche Poat, August 14.) We have only a few remarks to offer upon the choice of am Kmporor by the Mexican notables. Inthe first place, we are wnawure how notable those notables ‘may chance io be, inclining rathor to the view that the actual notables of Mexico are to be found in tho camp of Ortoga, the valiant defender of Puebla, In the place, wo ure of opinion that in a short time public opinion, which, to use a mild expression, is any- thin but well affected towards the imperial sum- mons, will be invited in somo authentic manuer or another to regard that summons as never hav- ing been issved. Many may pet snch a dociara- tion as superfluous, because it seems so exceecingly plain, While willingly admitting them to be rizbt, we should nevertheless be glad to have an official disavowal, 80 as at any rate to spare the Mexican deputation that set off with the improvised crowa for Europe on the 12th of duly nnecessary journey from France to Vienva, This would also be the best method of putting a stop to tho joy bells—the echoes of the peals that rang in the vote of the notables—now clanging 60 noisily throughout the French journals. * hd Ld A frank word in the oper place, appraising the offer of the Mexican throne at its true value, wor suftice.

A governing junta, composed of thirty-five members, has designated General Almonte, the Aroh. bishop of Mexico, and General Salas, as members of the executive power.
