THE WAR _IM_ AMERIC A. What the English Papers Say. Progress of the American War. [From the London Time*, May 10.] 4' It is just possible to discern, dim and in distinct, tho coming conflict- in America.? The fteherman in lite Araliion tale wlio broke the seal of Sulomon saw the column ui biuoko, which asceiulpU from his jar, gradually take the slmpe of n monstrous Genii. So the confusion and debate which succeeded the first meetings of the l<egis)a lure of Sooth Carolina, six montlii ago, mfv now consolidated into the form of tno opposing armies on the line of ;the Potomac, Disputation is at an end, wfrr lias begun, and'the-course of events has so much <le ftuet itself ,that the eye way even pene trate a little way into the darkness of fu turity. ' The" most important news brought by the steamer isthat Washington is likely to be secured to the Federal Government Although the advices are only two days later than the last, it appears that in that <tn)e me capital hud been reinforced to ' eucli an extent that a sudden attack from j M?e,Virginians wns not to be dreaded.? ^ Whether tho Southern Generals seriously j jr.editatoilie seizure of the Federal metropo j lit it id impossible 10 say.

Much less f can we determine what are the Confederate i..il .mi " touvtuB. mere ?rc ivvo courses open lo tUe .

The very success of their polioy has imposed a military enterprise on them which it* is difli cult to carry out and inglorious to shrink from. The proclamation of Mr. Lincoht has been followed l>v the secession of Vir ginia, tho possession of Harper's Ferry and the Southern bank of the river on which Washington is placed. Every Virginian is naturnlly tempted to make a dash at a prize which lies on the very border of the enemy's country. The consequence has been that both sides have been -drawn on to make tho District of Columbia their battlefield. The Virginians collected in numbers which appeared to threaten the Capital, and the danger roused tbe North to a military.enthusiasm \vb;ch has aston ished evf-n those who know tbe excitability of tho American charater. But tbe moat important result of this movement is the present condition of tho Stale of Maryland. The troops which were poured down from the North, and particularly the N?w J?"g landers, were looked upon as invaders, ready to destroy tbe plantations, liberate tbe slaves, and ruin, if not maltreat, the white people themsetves. A greut part of the State, including the large and turbulent cit.v of Baltimore, rose in iiiisiiirpoiinn nn,l. Gov. Ilicks was obliged to, head a move ment which has* by this time, probably ?nded in sencession though, as might be jxpected, a large minority of the people ire firm Unionists. It is perfectly plainf However, that the Federal armies will pay 10 attention to.any ordinance of a Mary and Legislature or Qo)iven lion. If subju gation is to be their policy, there must be a beginning made somewhere, and it will bp made in this dcbnteable land, where slave ind free soil intermingle. When the last mail left it seemed possible tljat the Mary andera might succeed in stonDtnp the march of tlie Northern volunteers froin Annapolis to Washington. We learn (hat the troops have been pushed forward to :he Capital, where already four New York regiments had arrived; that the route was sept open by Federal troops; and that the Capital was strong enough to resist an at nun* Hence, as it seem* to usr the Southerners ire in a difficulty. Their policy is as be lore, to kpep within their own territory ; iiul now ^Vashington is in their own terri tory. If Maryland ims seceded, or^ven if, hough the Legislature be coerced, thei>ody if the population be in arena against tlie LJnion, it will become a point of-honor with the Confederate Stales to come to the rescue of their friends. Perhaps a success af the^ Virginians and Marylanders at Washington would even be a caluaiity to the South, as committing it more* than' sver to n regular campaign heyo'nd the Po >vw<iv, ? a buuuu y cusny commanded Prom the sea, and in cleee neighborhood I tviiU (he most populous Northern.

On the other hnnd, should the Marylntiders j resist the passage of troops, they ntay cause ihe Federal Government much trouble.?'I J-Jie N?rth sends.njpn in aufljeient qum-7 bers; but tninHport .is scarce, -provisions Hre few and may^b'e cut off by the insur geuls, ai'l jhg trqops qjay ?uff?r all tliat U invQiy&U in lighting in an enemy's <*A|n y'' Sontelhing jlike a regul nr campaign in t)|>? region i? now ubh voidable. < Tltafc it wilt be ci?rr?vfibd, at lewsffd^ A-time, lo tbe1 ftastefn part,of tbe Continent, seem# likely.

It may b,e said that we ought not to take extreme ^Iterances for lUo opinion, of the mass-; but in these conjunctures it w the extreme counsel which prevails ; wh,at is extreme t> day is looked upon-as. moderate and necessary to morrow. We cannot, there fore, hear witty>u,l apprehension, the threats Of the Republican and Abolitionists party, to the effect that the slavo-owners must be rooted out; that a hundred John lirawns, instead of cue, will no.vf invade Virginia; that aa thfl " InriM" tliot !o il>??

Thus far the war is one out of all prece dent, and beyond all calculation. At tbis. ? moment it is impossible, to say what is its object, and how it i$ to be conducted: -. The reduction of the ^ccediog States is an al most inconceivable idea. The territory is immense^ the countiy diC^-ult, the climatQ unhealthy, and the population twelve mil lions. Even if we could suppose a Repub Iicao army of 50,000 men, making good its passage from Baltimore to the Golf of Mexico, in the face of every diftiujty, several such armies might accomplish the feat, and yet leave tho question as they found It. The effect, and even the possibility of a blockade, a stoppage of supplies, or an em bargo upon duties, has yet to bp seen. As for the slave population, there is not the smallest symptom of their disaffection, or their wish to leave their masters enmasxe. j Here and there it is lively enough that a sullen slave, who has quarrelled \yith his master, or one who i;eally is io the hands of a tyrant, or one conscious of a 6gur? and QUalilieB worthV of frpflrlnm tyiom V.O _ -- J ? , ,~..J to seize an opportunity to escape. ... But the present is an affair, not of individuals, but of millions. So what chance is there of any result to bo obtained from the war, un lets the possession of (he Capitol be a re sult worth considering? That, in fact, is !' contest at ibis moment. It is a contest \ the deff&body of troclus: for the floij Places; for a name, for a prestige, not for a reality. If we suppose the Northern States victorious"" in several battles, they are left with 30,000 meoin possession of a worthless site in an enemy's country. While these 30,000 are .locked up there, and sustained by immense efforts and at considerable ex [ | ense, the Southarn States may be steadily pursuing their own course of secossion, self government, and consolidation. ' Willi the single exception of the Capital, not n fort, not an- arsenal, not a yard, not (i ship, not a bit of wood or clone will be left the Fede ral Government in the seceding States. If too, their commerce should be at the mercy of the Southern privateers, that is a gamp in which' the Northerners have the most to lose, and the balance must bo ever Against l.~ rr?i n me wittier. * ue government now at Wash ington, if still there, nnd, if it be there, sup posing it still free tq act, roust Iinye these considerations before it. We know not how it can escape the conclusion that sqph ? yar is contrary lo the very rules of war seeing that it bus no object, A day way throw light on tbe struggle, fend show that the vast efforta'of the Northern ' States are to be lavished in .vain and all that noble blood spent like water. We only reason upon what we set and knoyr, apd we are driven to the conclusion that thus far these thirty, millions of our own flesh and' -blood ate fighting for a shadow.

She even went to war wilh'us to resist the right of sQftrQlt which we claimed as a belligerent right. She has always bitterly denied the niglft to visit any vessel sailling under her flag for any purpose whatever. Still more, therefore, would she resist a rigbt to take any cnrgo out of any ^Iiip actually belong ing to lier under the pretence that the oar go belonged to an -enemy^ It was not to thin part, therefore, of the declaration of of tho Powers that wore parties to the treaty of Paris that she objected ; it was simply to the clause which abolished privateering. This right to send forth privateers she-clung to as the resource of a nation which did not choose to keep up a large, nay.y, and wfliob,being a distant Power, had- no dangerous neighbors to pope with, and need flot fear any sudden attack. To this clause- alone she objected ; all the rest whs in accordance with licr own policy. A^et;lea's ? .resent . position is one which she never could have forseenand never con templated \ it is the dircct contrary of that she has ever marked out for herself, and she has consequently been industriously vindicating principles -and making' prece? cedents, all of which will'now go to the , contraction of her own Beligerent rights. Sh' W saved from perishing the vile trade vrttecriog'; and tho existence of priva .cnttered over every sea will ncccssi the dividing her fleot in or<Ter to pro tect her commerce. She lins stretched the rights of neutrals to resistance of the once conceded right of search nnd visit, and she has thereby given us immuuity for every character of goods which we may carry in our free neutral ships. She hns even.,wo believe, gone further thar\ this. If we mis take not, she, in a very recent cnse of an American ship seized by Neapolitan cruisers ofTSicilly, raised and insisted upon the point that a State (annot blockade its own ports. We believe we are correct.in say nig iiuii. iue unuco states demanded and obtained restitution and compensation from tlie King of Naples, upon tl;e ground that, as be claimed Sicily as part of bis domin ions?just as Mr. Lincoln now clainis tlie seceded States-be could not lawfully block ade the ports of Sicily, llowever thi* may be, we have said enough to show tliat there is really some complication in the~questions which the Government declined last night to dt6CUSS.

It is a mournful thing to reflect upon? too mournfuJ indeed to allow air)' ipalicious moralizing. Wo cannot afford to discourse on the ship-wreck of Democracy, for more than Democracy is involved in the ruin. Every appliance and advantage which could render a community wise, every institution which wli? reputed, t9 teuder men prudent has been found utterly in sufficient to preserve them from even the worst of follies. Thero is not one of the much praised institutions of the Union but appears in this day of trial to be op erating in a wrong direction. The Amer icans have comparatively no standing army and no warlike estimates , but the result of their usages in this respect is that every n,an, being a soldier on his own account, takds naturally to fighting, nnd that armies-are raised for the most shock ing of purposes with a celerity that could hardly he paralleled under the most abso lute military governments. The Ameri cans are habituated to self government, but that onlv renders lh<?m lf??a omnn?l.i? to control, and communicate the passions of a popular insurrection the. proceed ings of a regular campaign. They are wealthy, but that enables thern-tO support a war, and the merchants and money dealers of tlio capital have been foremost in their apprpval of the President's proc lamation. They are given to those pur suits of trade whio.li lio1<1 t?w1ivA?i from itJens of* strife, but they outstrip nil the tuitions of the Old World iu warlike fury. Tliey have no aristocracy to 'de lude1 thera into w^r, and yet ihey hnve plunged into war with such a tremendous alacrity as leaves the scrupulous and drift ing* policy of European nations fyr behind. These enlightened D.eixAferiits have sent across the ocean to purchase fruni us those very itnjfletnentB and munitions of war which yfo were revile^ for providing, and will probably ip'fi 1 fjatripidal struggle the gre?t ship we have built ag the mo6t wonderful instruments of com merce and pence.
