European Interest in the War for the
T;:e close of our war has been followeA
by active hostilities betweenemer-
Feuth American government& 'Like the
ins of our countrymen, we are not learned
ie the causes of the dispute, the issues re
famed to the arbitrament of arms, or the
probable results of the contest. We only
refer to the quarrel here to state that our
limited information in regard to it is proba
bly equal to that possessed by the people of
Europe of the merits of our &struggle for
the tiniest, at the time of its commence
Dient. Beyond a general impression that
the disruption of our country was seri
ously threatened, no distinct apprehension
of our condition existed. But it is won
derful to recall how the intimate rela
tion between the Old and New World
gradually inspired the most indiffer
ent with a desire for information. Our
Welfare was found to be so closely
interwoven with European interests, that
at last peer and peasant felt almost as much
concern in the great events of our conflict
SS our own citizens. First came the
Scarcity of cotton, the reduced demand for
sonle species of foreign goods, and the
increased orders for material that could be
used for warlike purposes. The operatives,
Who found their old mill-doors shut in
:heir faces and their families reduced to
penury, were pointed to the American
War as the cause of their misfortune. The
renders of old muskets, rifles, cannon,
powder, saltpetre, armed vessels, and mili
tary accoutrements readily discerned the
origin of their temporary prosperity.
Those who supplied the cargoes of block
ade-runners, as well as the crews and
Oltners of those stealthy allies of seceseion,
Were naturally anxious to learn the current
history of the nation they were helping to
destroy. Leading correspondents came
over to our shores to detail tbe progress of
events as seen from the standpoint of
reteign journalism, colored to suit, the
railed views and tastes of their readers.
A hoct of titled and untitled soldiers of
famine sought service in our armies.
Prince Naroeuoer honored us with a visit,
'Which produced favorable imprEssions that
have recently found emphatic expression.
The size of our armies began to attract
attention. It was felt that a million of
Men under arms meant something serious-
Then great battles became common. In
quick succession followed some of the
most terrine straggles that the world had
ever witnessed. At first, old martinets
found uuthiling sources of amusement in
the blunders of unskilful commanders
and the inefficiency of raw troops; they
stietred at cavalrymen who did not know
hew to ride, at artillerymen who scarcely
knew how to load their cannon, at infantry
Who did not comprehend the evolutions

of ridiculing our system of fighting, they
discovered that they would be fortunate if
they could ever learn how to fight so well.
OUT little Davy had a similar experience.
We not only increased its size with unpre
cedented rapidity, but we adopted new
models of naval architecture that demon
strated the vast inferiority of foreign ves
sels. The struggle of the Monitor with the
Merrimac first excited universal surprise,
and our prowess received an attestation
before the eyes of French and English
spectators in their own waters, in the bril
liant victory gained by Captain WatsLow,
with his American Kearsarge, over the
pirate SEMMES, with his British Alabama,
that will never be forgotten.
The magnitude of the theatre of the war
could not fail to attract attention, Fight
ing for the control of a continent, the scene
of conflict was -proportionately extensive.
Some vague ideas of American geography
have been disseminated, notwithstanding
the general European ignorance of the ex
tent of our dominion ; and military combi
nations, which spread from Washington to
Texas, from Missouri to Florida, awakened
attention and inquiry.
But far above all the commercial, martial,
and naval interest of the struggle rose the
vast moral and political results that were in
volved. Potentates and plebeians felt that
Republicanism was on trial—that the fail
ure of the North to crush rebellion, or the
prevalence of anarchy, or the establishment
of a despotism, or any one of a numerous
train of dangers, might destroy our whole
system of self-government, and thus forever
close the door of hope to the devotees of
genuine liberty. MAZZINI writes to the
London agents of the United States Sanitary
Commission :
"Your triumph is our triumph—the triumph of
all, 1 hope, who are struggling for the advent of a
republican era. Our adversaries were pointing to
tie worst period of the cad French revolution as to
the irrefutable proofs of memos loading to terror,
anarchy, and military despotism. Yon have re•
fated alt that. You have done more for us In four
years than fifty years of teaching, preaching, and
writing. from all your European brothers have
been able to Co."
The interest which he felt, as a Republi
can, in our success, was shared by millions,
who secretly cherish similar sentiments ;
and the apprehensions which our triumph
has allayed in his breast have been trans
ferred to the minds and hearts of those who
WOuld have rejoiced in our downfall.
The connection between the result of the
war and the future position of four millions
of slaves was also clearly recognized. We
cannot be expected to sympathise much
with contests for mere dominion in distant
lands. It matters little to us whether . a few
leagues of territory are ruled by this or
that authority. But the enfranchisement
or enslavement of our race is a source of
never-failing interest everywhere, and
when the world witnesses two great hosts
confronted in deadly array on such an
issue, all the better instincts of human na
ture compel mankind to desire the triumph
of right and justice.
If nothing else had awakened a wide-
spread interest in American affairs abroad,
the prognostications of our enemies would
have served that end. We were constantly
represented, by such organs as the London
Times, to be in so deplorable a plight that
the world must have wondered how we
could possibly persist in struggling onward
and upward against dangers that wise au
thoriiies pronounced utterly insurmount
able. The amazement excited by our
mastery of one obstacle hardly died away
before another, that was represented to be
infinitely more difficult, was presented. We
controlled uncontrollable finances; we dis
ciplined troops that could not be disciplined;
we captured fortresses and cities that were
invulnerable ; we conqueredunconquerable
foes; we preserved a Union that was in
evitably doomed to destruction. We fer
vently hope and sincerely trust that the
same happy power of refuting the malign
prediction of our enemies which has marked
the history of the last four years will be re
tained and exhibited hereafter.
Tun report of the proceedings in the Select
branch of the City Councils yesterday af
ternoon, will be read with shame by- every
respectable Philadelphian. No more dis
gusting exhibition has ever disgraced a de
liberative body. The outrage should be
punished by the prompt expulsion of the
offending member.

TILE ARREST OF MITOIIEL.
DE ENDEIVORS TO GUN IMO
Pi-3; Lil;4 - 0 OloilliJßsllll-06,0304*451.
From the New York journaie of yesterday, we
glean some further partieulars of the arrest ofJohn
Mitchel. How he endeavored to gain Irish sym.
pathy, Is thus desoribed by the Tribune:
At about midday, two military officers, aCCOmpa-
Med by Detective Elder entered the office of the
Doily News. Mr. Benjamin Wood was the first per.
son met, of whom they inquired for John Mitchel.
Considerably disturbed, fdr. Wood referred them to
an inner sanctum, where the gentleman in question
was found. Befog informed of hise arrest, he quietly
acquiesced, and proceeded with the officers to the
coach which was in waiting at the door.
Mr. Mitchel was perfectly silent for some mo.
ments after the carriage commenced moving. He
presently broke the silenhe by saying to Capt.
Calla
han, one of the officers accompanying him—so goes
the rumor of the street :
"Captain, from your name, I take you to be an
Irishman."
Capt C. ".You are right, sir, I am an Irishman?'
Mr. Mitchel. "Or course you know me to be one
also; how can you find it In your heart to arrest one
of your fellow•oonntrymen 1"
Capt. C. "I am DOW an timerican •
, you are no
more my fellOW-countryman than anybody else; I
only know that we have orders to arrest you."
Mr. M. " For what 1"
Capt. 0. "I don't know ; for treason, perhaps."
Mr. M. " But lam not a traitor. The South are
fairly thrashed, and I follow the tide; I am no
longer a traitor, but a peaceful, loyal man."
Capt. C. (wilt emphasis). Mr, Mitchel, I have
no time to bandy words. You are an Irishman, I
am ashamed to say. You pretended to flee from
the oppression of the 'Ad World to the freedom of
the New ; yet almost your first act in your new•
round liberty, was to declare yourself in favor of a
species of human bondage, the meanest and most
infamous recorded in history. In that cause you
toiled with brain and brawn for five years, and you
BOW have the sublime impudence to come here, in
- New York, and establish yourself as the head of
Most ultra-Gopperhead. rheet in the city. I can only
Eal - that, as a general thing, your Oeuntrymen &oboe
and.despise you, and that my WWII Contempt for you
le so great that I can find no language to further
expresss my feelings."
Mr. Mitchel's face worked Convulsively as he lis
tened to this answer, but he said nothing more.
THE NODE OP ARREST AND PROBABLE CAUSE.
The Times gives this account in its report of the
arrest:
' , lt bad been determined a week ago by the
Washington authorities that Mr. Mitchens arrest
should be speedily made, and his journalistic oppor
tunities suspended for the present. For reasons en
ti,eay satisfactory, the matter was deferred until
yesterday. When Gen. le detailed Lieut. wee. H.
Morris. of the 20111 New York - Baiteey, and Detec
tives Eider and Kelso, as the capturing party.
Taking a carriage. they rode to tne ofilie Of the
.N,ws. They were shown to the office of the pro.
printer, Dlr. Benjamin Wood, to whom they simply
remarked that they desired to see Mr. ATltottel.
"Touching him on the shoulder, one of the offi
cers announced his errand, when Mr. Minna' de
sired him to remove his hand, and Lieut. Morris,
interfering, said : Take your hand off; officer ; Mr.
Mitchel will go with you without any ellftleulty.'
Entering the office of Mr. Wood, Mr. Mitchel said
'l'm arrested;' to which Mr. Wood replied, that he
deemed It an outrage, and that he eatremelyregret
t. d ft. Without further words, and without delay,
Mr. Mitchel went to the door, entered the carriage
with the party, and was driven to headquarters.
He was there informed as to the nature of the order
received by Gen. Dix, which was peremptory and
and entirely without discretionary power, and then
Was taken quietly to the small boat of the general's
private steamer, the Burden, which lay with steam
up in the North deer, waiting for her solitary pas
aenger.
" Unless we are greatly mistaken we think it will
be found that Mr. Mitithel is held to answer for
Riving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United
States, especially in regard to the treatment of our
prisoners. The Government, we have been in
termed, is in possession of testimony on this sub
ject, which made his arrest a matter of absolute ne
ceeeity.
"We understand :hat Mr. Mitchel's family will
reach this city, from the South, to-day or tti
morrow."

MS OPINION OP THR CONSPIRACY TRIM..
(From tne News, June B.]
An mankind Is growing sick - of that most Infao
mune military commission sitting at Washington.
If there were any possibility of a species of sympa
thy being aroused even in behalf of assassins, such
sympathy would now exist for these persona, who,
whatever their orimea, are at least entitled to he
tried before a court and jury. The extreurditm7
and odious character of tile tribunal, the outrage.
ously illegal method of questioning tilt witnesses
and receiving testimony, deprive that conclave of
all respect, and their proceedings of all moral
effect. If they order anybody to be emitted, they
will be simply guilty, every one of them, of delibe
rate murder; and when this people wakes a little
out of their apathy and bewilderment, the members
of that military commission will be hanged.

" L'Africalne " has no overture ; but before the
curtain rises there is a brief introduction written in
a singularly elaborate manner, which presents the
more exquisite morsels of the corning opera when
the C•Ortqall rises. We see a council chamber of
n alkrtuiflee t arebneetere in the king's palace at
Lisbon. There if Inez In such betisteen as you may
conceive a maiden who has lewd nothing of hint
(Vasco de Gama) to whom she plighted her troth en
the eve of his departure on a voyage of discovery
now two years gone. The past glides before her
with Its melancholy step; she remembers her of the
song he sang after their last vows had been ex
°tepee°, their last kisses given. She repeats
it. The last note had scarcely died away
when her father, Don Diego, appears. He has
been closeted with the king. The result of that
conference is (so he tells Inez) to break her engage•
ment with Paco de Gama and to affiance her to
Don Pedro, a wealthy and powerful nobleman, the
very figure In aged eyes to play the part of Oeptd.
Old Dan Diego babbles the arguments familiar to
mouths which have for twenty years forgotten the

obscure birth; he has no money, lie is drowned—yon

by jealousy When she ages Vasco de Game wed Selika

net ends.
The third act transports us out of sight of land ;
we see the famous vessel rising and falling
on the Ma. 'Tie early morning; the age of in

and purple over the smiling and still =labo

thinks of faded times; Selika is at her Teat, with
thoughts uow roaming over the met, now dwelling
in her native. land. The sailors sing a hymn of
praise to the Heaven which has guarded them, The
women then take up the magnificent cheat, and In
turn crave Heaven's aid. While this solemn scene
transpires, Netttsko,' leaning against thelaterteard
shrouds, secretly jeers the fools who thank Heaven.
