Mob lb AL par b wilb Iribstfibam The steamship Europa arrived at Halifax on 010 morning of Sunday, Dec. vs, bringing European advioss to Deo. 2. A very full =granary of the opinions of English press on the ?damn and Slidell mums, and the important decision of the British Government, as well as the opinion of the law officers of the Crown, was telegraphed to New York and Washington, when the DOWD was re ceived on Sunday afternoon. No journals were published, however, on Sunday, but the nature of the news gained currency through private circles', and caused intense excitement, the more so as the previous advicea per Hansa had led the public to believe that thews would be - render of the prisoners under an; circumstances whatever. The following day, Dee. 17, the feeling univer sally was much calmer and quieter throughout all circles, and the general opinion was that war would certainly not ensue ; the idea of giving up Maws. Mason and Slidell was even dimmed and its pro bability entertained, the argument being if the Federal government was in the wrong in taking these men there is no disgrace in surrender ing them, and if they were right the question can be discussed or settled by ar bitration. The startling rumour that the Federal government had forbidden the export of specie gained credence in New York fur some time on the afternoon of Dec. 17th, but it was soon as certained that such • thought had never even entered the heed of the Washington cabinet. The Europa reached Boston late on the after noon of Dec. 17th, having been 49 hours from Halifax to Boston against strong head winds. It was then announced that within thirty minutes after the Europa touched at Halifax, the British 'team' sloop of war Rinaldo got up steam and left, iu pur suance of some orders, it was supposed, brought by the Queen's messenger, to communicate with the admiral of the British North American squadron. The Europa's mails were delivered in New York December 18, and their contents largely scrutinised. Captain Seymour, Queen's messenger, and Mr. Cooke, messenger from Mr. Adams, arrived in New York on the morning of December 18, and at once left for Washington by special train, where they arrived at midnight. The tone of the New York morning journals of Dec. 18 was materially changed on the Mason and Slidell question, and • degree of moderation was observable in discussing this subject very different from the articles of the few previous weeks. Whether through absence or any other cause, none of them contained any despatches from Washington on this question. On the afternoon of the 18th, news from to the Bth December was tele replied boas and the ansouncenseut et the formidable warlike progress being made in Great Britain again created great excitement and affected the money market injuriously. The following despatch from Washington was published in the New York Times of Dec. 19 : "A cabinet was held to-day at which the English question was discussed, of course informally, as the nature of the despatches brought by the royal messenger has not been divulged. There was but one sentiment prevalent, and that was that no quarrel with Eugland must be permitted to inter fere at this moment to stay the reduction of the Southern rebels. The government is probably satisfied that the clamour for a war with England originates with, and is propagated by, sym pathisers with the Southern rebellion. It knows that nothing would so gratify the rebels, would so restore their vanishing confidence, and re invigorate them to redoubled efforts at defence, as the news that England is permitted to come to their rescue. It believes it has no right to give new life to the rebellion by entering upon another and vaster quarrel, which would at the same time Mimeses ten fold the burdens upon the people of the North ; and it naturally hesitates to adopt a policy which would carry joy to every traitor in the country, and weigh down to poverty the loyal and law-observing citizen. But whether these or other considerations govern in the matter, I have the beat authority for saying the demands of England will be met in a spirit of conciliation ' which will at once refute the calumny that Mr. Seward or any other member of the cabinet has been eager to provoke a foreign war. The intelligence received by the Jura, that the despatches with which Slidell and Mason were entrusted reached England notwithstanding I their arrest, renders the question as to the dispo sition of the persons of the rebel envoys one of secondary moment, and a most inadequate one, on which to base a great international struggle. It will be borne in mind that the administration is still uncommitted on the Trent business. The subject was not mentioned in the President's Message ; and the language of Secretary Welles in his report, and his letter to Capt. Wilkea,are rather professional and personal than diplomatic, and in I no degree bind the State department. Of one thing the public may rest assured, the subject will not be settled without an important curtailment of the English pretensions to enforce a right of search, which she finds it so unpalatable to concede to other Powers." The Tribune, of the same date, published the fol lowing :—" Captain Seymour and Mr. Adams' mes senger arrived about midnight, in consequence of a delay caused by a railway accident. Lord Lyons has detained the Africa tall Friday. Nothing own, of course, be known of the despatches till to-morrow, when the President will send a message to the senate on the subject of our relations with Great Britain, which will be considered in executive session. A rumour is afloat that the government has decided to return Messrs. Mason and Slidell ; but we are satisfied, after inquiry, that it is untrue. " The question would not be decided in advance of the receipt of Mr. Adams' despatches, and there has been no Cabinet meeting since yesterday. The Africa will awry to England a despatch from Lord Lyons, containing little more than the intelli gence that he has received and delivered to the American government his instructions from the Foreign-office." These despatches, it will be seen, entertain the idea of the surrender of Messrs. Mason and Slidell, the first time that the New York press has argued the possibility of their surrender since their seizure. Tho detention of the Africa for despatches was settled immediately on receipt of the Europa'. advice,. --- 'iisCongress, on December 16, Mr. Vaßandit ham (opp., Ohio) introduced • preamble and reso lution :—• Whereas the Secretary el the Navy has reported to this house that Captain Charles j Wilkes, in command of the Elan Jacinto, an armed public vessel of the United States, did on the Bth November, 1881, on the high sea :, intercept the Trent, a British mail steamer, and forcibly removed therefrom Messrs.

" Mr. Vallandigham remarked that a former re solution approbatory el Captain Wilkes was passed without bang so referred. He (Mr.Vallandigham) had Awed this resolution in good flab, and would stand by it. " The house then refused to second the demand for the previous question. :40 Fenton again moved that the preamble and lution be referred to the Committee on F Affairs. " motion was agreed to byTees, 109, Nays 16. "AA 1 p.m. to-day 19), a general impreasion prevailed among well-informedcireles that the Wsah mgtai Cabinet will surrender Meows. Mason and Slidell, if the demand of England is couched hi such Wins that it can be complied with with mit Mating the easeepribilitise and wounding the aidlonal honour a/ our gnat nation in its inter course with another. " the steamer does not sail much later than this > 1 closes further particulars will be known." mediate effect of the Europa's news upon the stoelested money market on Dee. 16 was startling. There was a general fall of about 3 per met. in the Meek market, and • depreoiatioe is several in stinct& of from sto 8 per cent. Western shares fall from 3 to 5 per cent.

The New York Herald, in its edition of December 17, in a characteristic article on England, argued that there were probably 800,000,000 dol lars north of property of various kinds, stocks, batreal estate, merchandise,dia, belonging to . and French subjects, and in case of war England and France the Herold urged the government to appropriate the whole of the property of private individuals, and also reconinic the government to prohibit immediately the further export of breadstuff' to Europe. The bank statement of Dec. 16 showed an m e:peeled large decrease in specie, the decrease amounting to nearly three millions, without any specie shipments to Europe. 44tets contEd ion of specie payments by the ew York„ and Ph il adelphia Banks was certain, but contrary . to ex pectation, at a meeting of the banks in New York on Dec. 16, it was resolved not to sus pend specie payment. The following resolutions were passed unanimously : " Whereas the public mind has become unduly agitated in re gard to the financial course to be pur sued by the banks and the United States government which has led to a premature discussion of a sus pension of specie payments ; and " Whereas, an examination iuto the condition of the specie of the country has resulted in the belief that we now hold 80,000,000 dole. of bullion more than we held a year ago, eif which a fair proportion is in the banks • and " Whereas t he exports of cereals and provisions have so far exceeded those of former years, that, notwithstanding the loss of the cotton crop, our exports far exceed our importations, and there is no demand for foreign exchange to warrant consi derable shipments of coin ; and " Whereas the pending difference with Great Britain will probably prove to be capable of a diplomatic solution through the ordinary channels, or by arbitration, and fears on this score are pre mature and groundless ; and " Whereas, there is nothing in the position of the loans to the government to cause uneasiness, and the entire arrears due upon them from the banks of this city (a considerable part of which is to be reimbursed) do not exceed 21,500,000 dole., provided the Secretary, in his drafts therefor, will consult their wishes, which may be expected from him from motives of interest and policy, es well as from his promises ; and whereas, independently of all these considerations, it is not only unbecoming but bad faith for fiduciary agent' to refuse the just de mands of depositors, unless for clear cause and manifest necessity, and nothing but an entire want of public confidence, or great national considerations rendering it impossible to comply with all engage ments, can ever justify such refusal ; therefore be it " Resolved, That the New York banks, with as surances from the representatives of banks in Boston and Philadelphia, of their co-opera tion, see no reasonable justification or necessity for • suspension of specie payments under the existing state of their relations with the banks of this country, the United States govern ment, and Europe.

In Congress, Dec. 17, the following important debate ou the Mason and Slidell question took place : Mr. Cox, of Ohio (opposition), from the Com mittee on Foreign Affairs, reported a bill appro priating 1,000 dollars as full compensation to the owners of the British ship Perthshire, in conse quence of her detention by the steamer Massa chusetts, in June last, for a supposed breach of our blockade at the port of Mobile. He referred to the fact that the President, in his Message, bad recommended this satisfaction. Besides the papers in the case show it to be a just cause. Mr. Cox said that the bill was reported in accordance with the recommendation in the President's Mamie, and a letter from Secretary Seward, which be bad read. He (Mr. Cox) had examined the faota, and believed that the Perthshire was lawfully engaged in com merce on the high mess when she was seised and detained by the United States steamer Massa chnsetta. She left Mobile, for Liverpool, with oetton, on the 31st May. The blockade began ea the 96th of May but the ship left within the time allowed by the President's proclamation. She was taken back two hundred miles to Pensacola, and then released by the captain of our squadron. The bill repairs the damege—one thousand dollars. The amount is hisinteictemble, bet the prompt action of Congress in awarding it is intended as an earnest to Great Britain that this government will I be as ready to indemnify fora wrong as to defend a right, Our naval officers were as clearly m the ws esiffmtlits Ow*" wigs ritikt inewesimaling the Treat.

While we would not yield an inch to any servile fear or ungenerous compulsion, such as the recent news threatened us with, it is becoming the' dignity of the Republic to promptly remedy • wrests Thus are we triply armed to demand F 11•11.1 1- five§ belonging to our nationality at home and abroad.

Surely, if in this ceps of the Nashville England should act as the noesitory to such an atrocity, she cannot complain that in the midst of our great national perils, and while the paths nerve is actually aeraiiin to indignities awed in the time of our trial, is pursued to the letter, as in the case of the Tent, the international code she herself has presented. Our justification in that awe is that her act was one of hostility—hartility, whether it oonsiet in carrying deeps - tithes, envoys, or other and wines than contrabands, in a neutral ship. It will not do to answer that no case like this is to be found in the precedents. General Cushing, in his recent letter, gives the reason why precedents are not to be found in the geographical relations of European nations. But the priusiple oovering the case is most °weedy stated by Phillimore and other writers; and the English jurisprudent unless de termined to be warped in his judgment by his pride or prej udiasonnnot deny the doctrine of Lord Stowell, which would stop, in time of war, on neutral ships, the ambassadors of an enemy, and a portion of en enemy whose government is not yet an sio complished and recognised fact. It seems to be eonsecied that this principle would apply to the ease of despatches. If so in a forum of pure reason and enlightened oonscienoe which make up the Code International, fora stronger reason it will apply to ambassadors publicly declared, and whose mission is of more importance than battalions of armed men, and whole cargoes of shot, shell, and sabres. An ambassador is the creator provided of these. By his alliances he may win battles and solve revolutions. To give him the protections of the neutral flag in a public vessel is a corns belli-- to give him the protection of a neutral flag in a private vessel is an act of hostility in aid of the public enemy, and seizure and confiscation should follow. The more this question is pondered and examined, the more impregnate is our posi tion ; nor is there anything in our previous diplomacy to weaken this posi tion, which, had I the time, I could demonstrate. It is enough now for us that on this ground we may safely say to England " Fulfil your neutral obliga tions ; you have assumed them voluntarily and against our protest. Until you do so you cannot quarrel with us for the exercise of our most indu bitable right*. If you insist on belligerent rights between the North and South, do not as a neutral help one belligerent to the detrimetforae other. This is fraud. In this spirit alone can oar relations with Great Britain continue amicable. We will readily yield her rightful demands as in the case of the Perthshire. We yield nothing, nothing to her arrogance, passion, or pride, when we are clearly in the right. The letter of General Jackson to Livingstone, the original of which was read by the historian Bancroft, at a New York meeting, and applied by him to the disunionists here, may be as appropriately applied to their sympathisers abroad. The Union must be preserved without blood, if this be possible , but it must be preserved at all hazards and at any price. So with our honour among the nations, fur it is thus in the gigantic conflict for our national existence that we should avoid the entangle ments of a foreign conflict with nations whose national interest, as they think, depend upon our discomfiture, and whose chronic jealousy of our Republican success has led their rulers to hail such discomfiture with ill-concealed delight. We are too sensitive of foreign opinion. We naturally dislike to have our government and institutions misrepresented. We have the spirit of the Swiish motto, "De Sal rei solo." "No one shall spaik of our King but ourselves," But we can afford to be indifferent to the malignity of foreigners, whose moral standard is increased by their commercial loss or gain, and whose com placent neutrality can view a great Christian and kindred nation humiliated without a regret or sympathy, because of its splendid illustration of commercial grandeur and democratic government. Let us pursue our duty to our age and country with unruffled composure. Heaven will nut desert the , undismayed. To despair is to die ; and flinging aside our national woe, lamenting nothing of the past, doing all that is just and constitu tional, making no cruel and disastrous diversions, from the great object or rescuing our nationality, *rushing as we would a nest of adders those who would divert us from that object to other and ig noble objects, involving fresh diversions, cruel de ception, social revolutions, servile insurrections, perpetual penalties, and eternal hate—moving one and all the heart, soul, and body of men, means, munitions, intelligence, and patriotism to the one grand object—the restoration of the dismantled Union as it was and ought to be. We may from this strife, and arise, like the fabled demigod, from our prostration more grateful and strong, in spired with a larger measure of power, and a clearer and less ostentatious consciousness of under- standing. During the debate a colloquy occurred between Messrs. Colfax and Vallandigbam. Mr. Comax, of Indiana ( Rep.), in replying to a remark of Mr. Cox, said he yesterday . voted to refer Mr. Vallandighanes resolution justifying Captain Wilkes ' conduct, because he preferred that whatever was sent out on the subject should ema nate from a standing committee of the house, after grave consideration, instead of being impulsively acted on by the house. Mr. VALLANDIGNAX, of Ohio, said Mr. Colfax was not so circumspect and explicit on the first day of the session, when be offered a resolution pro posing to closely imprison Mr. Mason in retaliation for the treatment of Colonel Corcoran. The gen tleman had not then heard from England. Mr. COLFAX further explained the reason why he offered his resolution on the first day of the session, which was, because Mr. Mason had, as a senator, taken an oath to support the constitu tion, and had violated it. He was not only a traitor, but bad perjured himself. " When we deal with traitors it is a different thing." Mr. VALLLNDIORAX could not perceive why the gentleman was so ready to justify the act of Cap tain Wilkes on the firstday of the session but not now. There were no fewer traitors now than at that time. What made the difference Mr. COLTAX replied that be wu still in favour of meting Epunishment to traitors. Mr. VALLANDIORAW predicted that in leas than three mouths Messrs. Slidell and Mason would be returned. Mr. Cox hoped the prediction would prove un true, TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. lazonses massaus3 , PORTUGAL. 3TURBANCES AT LISBON. LISBON, Dam 27. (Per Alhambra via Southampton.)

'Se eity is under vigilant rule, and pangs of cavalry and infantry have for the last three days occupied the public thoroughfares. On Christmas-day tumults occurred throughout the city. The palaces of the Count de Ponte, the Marquis de Vallada, Count Thomar, and others, were assailed by the populace. The Count de Ponte was beaten in the street, and now lies in a dangerous state . The government has named a commission to exa mine the sanitary state of the Palaces of the Neves sidadee and Belem, and has ordered a chemical ana lytical examination to be made of the remains of the late King. Great public excitement prevails, and rumours of the darkest description are afloat. The King has retired to the Palace of Caxias, in obedience to the popular voice. The Ministers retain their posts for the present, . , but it is believed the present crisis will be uded to mu. an attempt to displace them. Her Majesty's ships Amphion and Flying Fish have arrived here, but too late for the King's proclamation. It is said that the Cortes intend to annul the oath which prevents the succession of the two married Infantm to the throne. The Cartes yesterday passed a vote of confidence in the Ministers, and granted them full powers to take the strongest measures for the maintenance of public order. - The Patriotic Association is being suppressed by the government.

In the course of a speech he made on the ineasson, he referred to the question now priding between this country and America. He wanted no war between England and America, and would do all he could to prevent it. He was accused of having roads a recantation of his tamer opinions. When a man was wrong, and maw that he was wrong, it was far nobler to admit his error than to persevere in it. He was wrong in the view which he had taken with regard to the Amnion affair ; and he would now state dininctly that Amerios, in repnl to the Trent guess tion, bad not a foot to stand upon, and ere long he feltcartain they would give up those goeu whom they had, seised, sadwo should see them on this side of the water.
