RUSS ELI We have received advices from Europe of an interesting character. The English press contin ued their comments on th- subject of American affairs, but diffeu-d materially upon tin- policy re commended, some of the |ournala advocating the recognition of tbe Southern Confederacy, aud a repudiation of the blockade as inefficient, while others insist that England should observe a strict neutrality, even though her cotton spinners starve and her manufacturers an 1 brought to the verge of ruin Time alone will show xvhat course the Brit ish Government xviil pursue, and as Parliament will soon meet, the questions which will then be put to the Ministry, xviil rlonbtl-ss lead to a de velopment of their policy’. The London Times has another letter from Mr. Russell, iu which heinti- matea that the army will exercise tho controlling power before loug, and that a military dictator will wield the powers of government. He drawn a graphic parallel between the opposing Generals, J/cdeilati and Beauregard, and sketches the re- spectivesituations of tlio twoarmies now standing face to face with each other on the bank* of the Potomac. We subjoin the most interesting pass age of his letter : liianregard und McClellan Compared. When 1 had tne pleasure of conversing with General McClellan for the liist time, lie asked me several questions, with evident iuterest and frieud- ly curiosity—not unusual on thu part ot Generals in reference to the r antagonists—respecting Gen. Beauregard. In his case there was all the more reason for such inquiries, in the fact that they xvere old fellow students and classmates. To my mind there is something of resemblance between the men. Both ale below tbe middle height. They are both squarely built, and faitned for muscular power since their college days. Beauregard, in deed, is lean and thin ribbed; McClellan is lull and round, xvith a Napoleonic tendency to embon point, sutidu-d by incesa rut exercise. B-auregai d sleeps li’tle: McClellan’* temperament requires a full share ot rest; both are spare and Spartan in diet, studious, quiet Beauregard is rather satur nine, un i, if uot melancholic is of a grim gay -ty; Mi-t'lellan is genial even in his reserve, ihe density of the hair, and the squareness ot the jaw, the firmness and regularity of the teeth, and the outlines of th- features are points of similarity in both, which would be more striking if Beauregard xvere not of the true Lousiana Creole tint, while McClellan is fair coinplexiuneJ. Beauregard lias a dark, dull, student’s eye, the dullness of which arises, however, from its formation, for it is full of tire, and its glances are quick and searching. Me Clclian has a deep, clear eye, into which yon can look far and deep, xvhile you feel it searches far and deep into you. Beauregard has something of pre't nsion in his manner—not hauteur, but a fold ing-armed. meditative sort of air which seems to say, “ Don't disturb me; I'm thinking of military movements.” McClellan seems to be always at leisure; but yon feel at the same time you ought uot to intrude too much upon him. even xvlien you seek in vain for the grounds of that impression in anything that he is doing or saying. Bt-auregard is more subtle, crafty, and asmte; McClellan is mole comprehensive, more learned, more impres sionable. Beauregard is a thorough soldier; Me t.'lellau may prove he is a great General. Tiie fiirm-r only looks to tnilil.-iry consequences, and disregards popu »r manifestations; tue latter re spects the opinion* of the outer xvorld. and sees political as web as military results iu what he or ders. They ar- both tl.e creatures of accident so far as their pri sent positions are concerned. It remains to lie aeon if either can control the current of events, and it, in either the artilleryman or the cavalry officer of the old United States Army, there is the stuff around which history is moulded, such as :bat of which the artillery Man of Brieuue or tbe leader of the Ironsides was made.
