THE AMERICAN QUESTION. Ear! Russell on England’s Neutrality. CABINET DIFFICULTIES PROM THE AMERICAN SITUA- TION, From the London Times, Sept. 10.) The freedom of the town of Dundee was conferred on. Vari Russell yesterday morning, in presence of a vaet as- somblage, in the Corn Exchange, the visit of the noble Karl to the town being in compliance with an invitation to ‘Nim to take part in the ceremony of opening the Peopk Yark, presevted to the town of Dundee by Sir David es Baxter, at the cost of about £50,000.

The Kar! and Countess Kuaseil, with Lady Georgina Russell and Lord Amberley, drove in a carriage and four from Meikleour House, Pertushire, where they were ro- siding for the autumn, and arrived in Dundee, after a drive of twenty miles, about eleven o'clock. The noble Bary or wige in the South to expend ao much energy and material in the defence of two Lor der fortresses is akother point, which bas been raived in Richmond; but having dofended them with all the force at their command, having couceutratod their defencs, as it were, at these two potuts, it ts a serious and crushing blow for them to fall, Nor does the gallantry of the defence diminish the extent of the calamity.

Whethor by the expulsion of the Northern armies from Virginia last year, the mismanagement of Buell ta Tennessee, and the weakness of the North in Missouri, Arkausas and ‘Texas, the actual number of square miles norainally heid by the North hus diminished or no, it is not a‘ matter of importance to ingaire, But it will be hard to persuade an indilierent spectator thac the North have nol a firmer hold of Suuthern terittory than they have ever had before The effectiveness of an occupation i: <= measured quite as much | by ils position as by its exten’, The possession of placos like Vicksburg and Port Hudson, and of sich river as the Mississippi, gives the North a firmer foothold in Confederate territory than the nominal occupation -of thousands of acres in Arkansas or of all tho prairies of Texas.

But though be avery clever observer of kmperors, we cannot make be may a.

If the Austrian Emperor were to pro claim “equality and fraternity” without lherty, under a military despot; were he to abolish all eideat sons in Austria aud subdivide the soil tt! not a large landowner war left; wero he to produce in this way a dead level tn Austrian society, over which tow in irresistible strength ‘ physical force’ in shape of an Emperor ruling by the instrumentality of a standing army; wero the Emperor of Austria to’ do all this, there might be some ereuse for erving thal he was copying French institutions. But this is oxacty what for the troops; they heard of certain renowned mines being worked for French account and profit, and they saw some prospect of the heavy expens.¢ of the campaign finding their way back into the national treasury. But, Aithough tho great unpopularity which at ono timo at- tached to that intervention may thns be dying away by reason of the circumstances above recited, the French government by no means. sees the end of its dificrl- trea, and perhaps ite anxicties with respect to the Mexican affair were never more serious than at the present moment. It denies, and I ewith truth, that it has received protest or remonstranco from the United States govern- ment with respect to ita interference in Mexico, and to its attempt to establish there an empire with A a prince at hia bead, But, although nothing of this kind has as yet officialiy passed, there ia reason for expecting that It will doso, perhaps at an early date, especially if the tide of success continues to set in favor of the federals. The reasonable convic- (lon is entertained «ia hi quarters bere, aud ig shared by tho Mexicans themselves, that there will be little security for the territory, or duration of the new empire, unless a broad barrier can be inter- posed between it aud tho encreach!ng spirit of the North American federation. That barrier would be found in the | Ament of the Southern confederacy, which, having eady a vast territory, far greater than it requires for its population, would readily enough recognize and r- antee the aew Mexican State, especially if some induco- meut were offered to it by France. Had tho French been ablo, a8 last year it was eangulpely anticipated would be tho case, to briag matters in Mexico to thew. present point several months when the Conjeleraic aims were in the ascendant and the Confederate cause looked bright and hopeful, the dif culty now existing would have been much diminished, ‘nnd it is probable that the Fmperor Napoleon, who it is known, now considers that it was a mistake to gnize the blockade of the Southern ports, would thea recognized the Southern confederacy, ‘But matters have changed since then, and there is no concealing the fitetrhat the prospects of the Confederates haw: got much warts and that a@ mere récounilion, unaccompanied by the opening of the puris or some other’ material succor, ould act be of much. use to them. tion, then, for the French government lies be- 4 them such assistance a8 would necessarily a was with the Northern Unie Among the chief of them may be set down the dificnity and enormous expense of carrying on a comflict at such a Gistance, the wnpopulari- ty in Fravce of euch a war, the cry that would be gat up by te apposition against Vrench arms being apjlied fo the maintenawoe of slavery. This is the immediate evil: the cther, although somewhat more remote and less positive, is evidently looked upon here as One Most urgent to guard against.

Michel Chevalior Informs us that democracy is ray vy. ite the Emperor of Austria ia not doing; he is not introducing equality, and he ts introducing titerty ; ho is weakening & despotism instead of strengthening one ; and he is going to rule by means of popular assumblies and not by a standing army. The Austrian political reform is upon the old popular type of liberty, which guarantees the peoplo freedom of speech, and not upon the new French type or democracy, which suppresses froedom of specch-in the peopic, and makes obe man tho mouthiece of the mation, What tho Emperor of Russia's projected reforms are we cannot accurately say, beranse they are not yet before the world, But we do not think it likely that they will be upon the type of French democracy. We do not anticipate thatthe Emperor Alexander will attempt an abolition of the law of primogeniture in Russia and @ lev- elling of ranks. Report speaks to the new Russian Scheme of reform as involving popular representation to @ certain extent. To what extent it will go remains to be seen; but at allevents the Emperor of Rassia will bo weakening the despotic element in Russia, instead of etrengthening it—be wilt be voluntarily throwing up old prerogatives instead of using force to aet up new. He witl” not, then, bean imitator, in fact, of the French Emperor. There may bo, Or may not be, reasons for the peculiar form of democracy, a8 M. Chevaiier calis it, or, a3 we should cali it, despotism, which France has set up; upon that question we do mot speak; it may or may not be necessary for France now; but, even if is, it is not there- fore necessary for the whole world. Nor do we see, as yet, that the world, much obliged as it is to M. Chevalier for his recommendation, is likely to take advantage of it.
