the vanity which sometimes characterizes the action of Americans in Europe; but the importance attached to his connection with the Administration, whose confidence in him has so recently been manifested by his selection for an important mission, will be likely to give undue prominence to the views which he has so unwisely sought to thrust upon the people of England. "our Foreign Relations." The New York Herald, of Thursday, editorially says: Secretary Seward's dispatch to Mr. Dayton is again criticised in a very sneering manner by the London Times, and another English journal does not hesitate to class Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet and the insurgent Southern conclave of rebels as the two American factions. Lord Palmerston says, through his London organ, the Post, that Canada will soon become the centre of commerce and emigration for the American continent. Our compilation from the foreign files, given to-day, in such connection, is worthy of serious consideration, and exhib

The Americans in Paris had held a meeting in favor of the Union. Col. Fremont, Ministers Dayton, Clay and Burlingame were among the speakers.

He exMr. Dayton said that since his arrival in Paris he could detect no unfriendly feeling on the part of Franch citizen would be found among the privateers being sent out by the Seceders. He expressed the conviction that the rebellion would be put down. Cassius M. Clay spoke at some length. He was energetic in his comments on the conduct of England in the recognition of the Southern belligerent rights. He declared that if ever the flag of England became associated with the black flag of the South, that the Star-Spangled Banner of the United States and the tri-color of France would be seen against her, for France had not forgotten St. Helena. Anson Burlingame spoke on the s

ellion" in the South, and restore the people of those States to liberty and reason. It is easy to count up the totals of population, wealth, commerce, ships and military forces, and argue that victory must be eventually with the North. But the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, although there are doubtless advantages in favor of the swift and strong men of the North. A very singular correspondence has found its way to the papers, in which Mr. Seward instructs Mr. Dayton, the new American Minister at Paris, to make representations to the French Government, and bearing date so late as the 4th inst. The language is somewhat grandiloquent, and the letter of Mr. Seward contains suggestions of counsel to Europe entirely out of place in a dispatch addressed to a neutral Power: "You cannot be too decided or two explicit in making known to the French Government that there is not now, nor has there been, nor will there be any — the least — idea existing in this Go

"The Insurgents." In Seward's instructions to the Yankee Minister at Paris, Mr. Dayton, he always designates the Confederate States "insurgents," as if they were only a combination of disorderly individuals, resisting the legitimate authority oising specific powers confided to it in a written Constitution. The Yankee Premier has also the audacity to instruct Dayton to report to the French Government that the "Insurgents, with deadly war, have tried to compel the Government to recogniznot be accepted. Peace is what was offered, and peace the Government at Washington refused to accept. Seward directs Dayton to assure the French Government "that not at the hands of this Administration is the Government to end;" that Lincoln's Any public or private document in which there are as many falsehoods in as many lines as Seward's letter of instruction to Dayton. The Confederate States, at that time, had no agent at the French Court to expose the falsehoods of Seward; but it i

ive policy did not, to the European Cabinets, appear to be inspired by prudence; that, according to the law of nations, the Confederate States had really a right to the recognition of the European Powers. And then, forgetting that these rebels are not yet conquered, Mr. Lincoln levels his thunder against all Europe.--First, a Minister of his appears in England, and addresses to The Times that famous letter which every one knows about. Then, comes that gracious dispatch from Mr. Seward to Mr. Dayton. Then, still later, comes the warning to Europe to suspend all commercial relations with the Confederate States. And finally, we have an ultimatum by which Mr. Lincoln announces that he will declare war against any European Power which shall take part in this quarrel. This is the policy of the Washington Government. Unable, thus far, to conquer the Confederate States, it nevertheless pretends to be prepared to carry on a war, if necessary, against the whole world.

Where, in the annals of despotism or the records of its butcheries, shall we seek for a parallel to this?" On Tuesday we gave a very important article from the Paris "Pays," of the 7th June, in which that paper declared that insanity seemed to rule at Washington city. The Pays is a semi-official paper, and its views are considered in consonance always with those of the Emperor. It is exceedingly caustic upon the Lincoln Government. Referring to its truculent tone in its dispatch to Mr. Dayton, the bombast and effrontery of Cassius Clay and Adams, and the Lincoln ultimatum of war against any European power which will take part in this quarrel, the Pays quietly says, "unable thus far to conquer the confederate States, it (the Washington Government) pretends to be prepared to carry on a war, if necessary, with the whole world. Had we not reason for remarking, as we did at the beginning of this article, that the most singular insanity appears to rule at Washington city?" The

He explained the necessity of killing the man, his master, was to effect his escape, and the meeting fully endorsed the act. A monster meeting in behalf of Anderson was to be held in Exeter Hall the 2d of July. The rumor has been revived that the Czar will visit the Emperor Napoleon at Chalons Camp. It is reported that Minister Dayton has remonstrated against the assimilation of the position of the Southern States with Italy, in an article recent published in the Patric and Moniteur.

eeley's threats of withdrawing the exequatur from French Consuls in Confederate ports, has produced some irritation here. The hour the North adopted any such measure would see the whole diplomatic and consular corps of the United States swept out of France, and a formidable fleet leave Brest, Toulon and Cherbourg to end the blockade Mr. Lincoln has proclaimed. The North is unlucky in its statesmen. The speeches delivered by Mr. Clay and his accomplices--Mr. Seward's insolent dispatch to Mr. Dayton-- Mr. Greeley's threats and Mr. Seward's speeches in favor of annexing Canada, have done yeoman's service to the Confederate States. The Moniteur, (which is, as you know, the organ of the French Government,) says: "The most important news from America is the increasing malevolent feeling against England which exists in the North, because England refuses to treat the South as rebels, although President Buchanan declared in his message that to attempt to subdue the Confederate States

Americans in Paris. --The Paris correspondent of the New York Commercial, writing on the 8th instant, says: Mr. Faulkner, late American Minister at Paris, has just returned here from a month's voyage through England, Scotland and Ireland. His two youngest children are still here at school, and Mr. F. protests that his stay in Europe is entirely for his pleasure, and in no way connected with politics. Mr. Butler King is about to bring out a brochure on the subject of the American quarrel for the enlightenment of the French. Mr. Spencer, American Consol at Paris, has been suspended from his functions by Mr. Seward, and a Mr. Dudley has been appointed by Dayton, as vice-consul until a consul is appointed. It was reported that Mr. Spencer, who is a New Yorker, was removed for Secession doctrines; but Mr. S. on the contrary is strong for the Union, and was removed perhaps entirely because he was appointed by Mr. Buchanan.
