TWO DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

The Royal Mail steamer Afriea, Capt. Stone, which sailed from Liverpool at 9.50 on the wnorn- ing of the Isth, and from Queenstown on the 19th January, arrived at New York ou Slat.

The Times of the eth inst. says:—" It ie un- derstood that in December last, Earl Russe) ine structed Lord Lyons to intimate to the Federal Government the disapprebation which would be excited in England and ou the Continent if the in- teution of blockading up the Southern ports with stone was carried into effeet; and that such a pro- | oeeding would be looked upon as vindictive, and | lead to the opinion that the re-establshinent of!

Yet if the country had | known that six months were to pass uway without an *‘advance’’ being again attempc- ed, it would have been much slower than it was in recovering its hopefulness. It was then thought we should renew the war by November, and so we should probably have done, had it not been for the bloody defeat we met with at Ball's Bluff,a much more disgrsccful business than that which hap- pened (ree months earlier, and in which our soldicts were deliberately sent to the place at which they were sure te be beaten and slain.

The world was beginning to settle down into the belief that formerly existed, but of which little had been heard of late years, that man in America was an 'iuferior animal, who could neither plan well nor fight well; but we see that much can be

‘led. If there were as energetic ehiels at | Washington as there are in some parts of the

West, victories would be won near the capr- ‘tol. and the city would cease to be beseiged ‘and blockaded by forces much ipferior in numbers to aur own. There is this to be thought of, that one victory achieved in the

When Delhi was taken, and Lucknow relieved, we saw that jmportant successes bad been ob- tained; but what cared we for the hundred nameless engagements that took place over the length and breadth of India? Yet those engagements were most useful to the English, aud perhaps they were really more fruitful than greater victories had been. Men's minds, however, are always effected by glar- ing- incidents, and until we shal) have made some decisive movement in the vicinity of Washington we shall not have the good opin- ion of the old world.

One of the storms lean only be described as terrific. Waters in jevery direction were covered with foam, waves dashing with a clear sweep across the Uatteras shores, and completely cutting off the fort from all outside communication. The current was ranning at the rate of five miles un hour, and chop seas prevented Gen. Burn- side from answering any signal of distress or ,communicating with any of his Generals. Atone moment flags would appear Union ,down on a number of vessels, indicating want ‘of water, coal and provisions. Col, Allen of the 9th N. J. and his surgeon, Mr. Weller. with a boat's crew and the second mate of the Anne E. Thompson, when they found the troops needed water, manned the life boat in order to reach the Generals. Unfortunately the hoat was swamped and the Col., Surgeon and Mate drowned. ‘The crew of the boat were saved. Despite all these adverse cir- cumstances Gen. Burnside has succeeded in getting over the bar one half of his vessels, all the gunboats and 7000 troops. Every- thing appeared in a satisfactory condition when the Eastern State left. The large tran- sports with troops remained outside the bar until the arrival of the S. R. Spaulding from Port Royal 23d when Capt. Howes volun- | teered to bring them all inside. This was ,accomplished yesterday afternoon, the East- ern State passing the last asshe left. A portion of the tug bouts chartered by Buarn- (side for the expedition refused to proceed Fair wea- ooners are making their appearance with water and coal, and everything looks more promising. Gen. Burnside has been indefatigable, day and night, at his post, performing the duties ofa whole staff of officers. He is confident of ‘ultimate success and has the respect of every |man under his command.
