Br the sesil which has left Lleaspool to-day the people of the United States will neesive iatelligsaso of the manner in which the news of the boarding of the Trent has been received by the Englieli nation. It is important that that ineeliginee should be as full and clear as possible, end that no room should be left for illusion. And two things powerfully contribute to this end. No previous crisis ever found our people in pommies of so complete an organisation for the rapid MOW non and expremion of opinion se they now poems. Any estimate of public sentiment now made and take into account not only the journals ci the capital, but the very able and independent news. papers published every in our chief towns. Since the telegraph has come into general use the facts of the day reach the provinces in antici pation al the judgments paned upon thins in the Metropolis. The result has been a decentralisa tion of opinion to the advantege of the whale community. Besides the fullness of its expreinion, another quality which will make British opinion and sentiment en this occasion man intelli• gage to all the world is its unanimity. Putting aside one err two exceptions, in which violent lan guage has been the refuge of weak and bewil dered writers, we may say that nothing is mare striking than the substantial agreement which Ray ons in • position to take • wide survey of pub lished opinion must remark. What will most strike an impartial observer of the &shah people during the last three days is the high quality of self-command which has unman@ trembly bean exhibited. The news of the eneepunter between the San Jacinto and the Trent found most persons unprepared in point of information to entertain the dill:Weiss which surround the legal questions it aim Pew of us had realised how muck was involved in the concession of belligerent rights to both North and South by Use British Govientneet. Besides, therefore, the unpleasant imprimis"' which the moat warrantable or legal act in derogalion of our naval power must have pro duced, the general feeling was exasperated by a belief that the visitation of the Treat by a foreign ship of war was altogether illegal. But, however strong the natural feeling of our people, there has been nothing like self-abandonment to blind impulse. In the very beat of the first excitement, the ques tion everywhere beard waa—what is the settled law I It might have been expected, considering the persistency with which some of our countrjr men have endeavoured to irritate their countrymen against the Northern States of America, that sojr event capable of becoming en men ion of replan between the two governments would have been extensively welcomed. But nothing Gould he more different than the fact. The interest whisk all clams have suddenly taken in complex quo bone of international law sprang from a desire to die cover evidence that the American government had not invaded the rights of this country. There is something very remarkable in this readiness of a whole people, under the inflame of an exciting event, to refer the justice of its cause to remote and unfamiliar standards. Reason unquestionably teaches the great advantage of substituting external for internal teats, wherever this is possible, in estimating the qualities of acts. And herein lies the unspeakable value of a body of international law, fixed and harmonious in its principles, and developed in numerous pre tenant", that acts like those of Captain Wrung may be referred to an outward, objective, and histo rical standard, instead of being left to be acri moniously disputed by sensitive litigants without hope or chance of settlement. But this advantage I. not always appreciated, and we question whether, if Captain Wiwi had had the misfortune to stop a mail steamer of a neighbouring country, which it is the fashion in New York to extol, the seam reticence would have been observed by its flitisess. Our friends in the United States will now be in • position to understand that what ever opinions the law Moors of the British Crown have given, and whoitaver demands may be advanced in theQvaan's name, our Govena ment has not acted under the pressure of popular clamour. Never was the mind of England more thoroughly pommesd with a sense of the duty of remaining at peace with the American people, if that be pomable. No desire is felt to embarrass their Government, or take advantage of its domestic difficulties. But the rights of this country must sod will be maintained. With • view to avoid discussions needlessly irritating, to reduce the question to its simplest issue, and to enable the United States Government to repair the error of its agents with • minimum of conosseion, the objection taken to the seizure of Mr. Sumas and Mr. Mason Ism been based upon the withdrawal of the entire proceeding from the review of a Prise Court. It becomes unnecemary, therefore, to ask whether those passengers were rebels or envoys, whether their despatches were me trabsad, or any other subsidiary questions which ingenuity may evolve from the occurrence. It is enough to know, that however an &WM rind tribunal might have decided on these matters, they're matter, on wLich only such a tri bunal—a Prue Court—is competent to give a .• THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVNNING, NOVEMBER 30, 1861. binding decision. The act of Captain Watts and Lieutenant Fmarzx in seizing passengers on board a British vessel, and carrying the* off in his own ship is, therefore, a high-handed usurpation, which it is neither wise, nor right, nor possible totolersta. _ If a consistent advocacy of the Federal cause, founded on a deep conviction of its rectitude, has earned us any title to be heard in the Free States of North America, we ask its citizens in this crisis to make the voice of law pre vail over that of passion. Whether Captain WILIER acted without instructions or upon unwise instructions is now of no consequence. The wrong ho committed in taking the two Commissioners and not subjecting the ship to the jurisdiction of a Prize Court is undeniable, and vitiates the whole proceeding. His mistake, if it shall prove to the United States Government the means of with drawing from a position untenable and full of danger to the peace of both countries, may be hailed as providential. tic Com.

THE AFFAIR OF THE TRENT. r lig bailerices, as we do not suppose dem wield be any ininaniea during the winter racribe et mean awes the Atbatic any irea-plated ships. Our only anxiety t. the wean al "trained eesmen," and in the event of UMW= breaking out, we can only repeat what is the wish at every Englialunan, that no cheese•paring feeling should be Mill , tallied towards those who, after all, are the real bulwarks el the country. The Paris Pays of last evening says :—" The irritation excited in England, and the opinion of the law officers of the crown, will perhaps make the Washington cabinet reflect seriously, and induce it to offer the fullest reparation to the British government. If Mr. Lincoln refuses repent . bon for the insult to the Trent, the entire responsi bility of the consequences will rest with him." We read in the Patric :—" At this moment the fate of two peoples, and perhaps the repose of the world, is in the hands of the cabinet of Washing ton. Its resolutions may lead to events of incal culable importance ; but in any case we cannot but admit that England is right to act as she is doing. We will go further—she is merely accomplishing a rigorous duty, commanded by the circumstances, and all Europe will approve her conduct." OFFER OF THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT. The Post states that the government has received by the last mail information of the agreement of Mexico to a convention by which our requirements are one and all fully conceded. Sir Charles Wyke has been able to negotiate and conclude terms by which full satisfaction is given to us. We are to have compensation for outrages, the repayment of money stolen, and the fulfilment of the engagements which the Mexican government has by treaty stipulated towards the bondholders. The Post adds, however, that "the attempt to stave off our active interference and to separate us from our allies is in vain. We shall not accept the proffered satisfaction ; and our fleet, with those of France and Spain, will proceed to seize upon the ports and customs duties of Mexico. We shall not trust the faith of Mexicans, not even when they bring peace-offerings. The intervention in the affairs of the republic will therefore pursue its course, and we shall make assurance doubly sure. We cannot afford to play fast and loose in a matter in which we have taken so certain • determination, and in which we are acting with other powers in the name of common civilisation as against outrageous perfidy. We must adjust these matters once for all. We have a great commercial stake in Mexico ; we import much of the produce of her mines ; and she reciprocally imports a considerable portion of our own manu factures. In times of peace there is no doubt that the total of this trade would prove very large ; and there are very few countries of the American con. tinent whose commerce is exercised on the spot by representatives of so many European nations. These considerations render it of great importance to the three Powers who signed the recent conven tion to determine foe the future the social and po litical security of their respective subjects."

The Muniteur of this morning says :—" The Director of the Customs has reported that the sur plus of grain imported into France is ten and a half millions of hectolitres. At present, there fore, the wants of consumers appear to be gua ranteed." ITALY. TURIN, Nov. 29, Evart/ca. The Duke of Proto has tendered his resignation as member of the Chamber of Deputies. The law stippressins , feudal rights in Lombardy has been adopted. The Bishop of Potenza has exhorted the clergy to support the national government. the First President Devienne and other judges. The defendant is no lees a personage than the Mar quis de Flers, one of the superior judges of the Court of Accounts. In stating that the offence imputed to him was that of the publication of " false news," I was misled by a paragraph fur nished by authority to the legal journal, the Gazette des Tribunaux, for the express purpose of leading the French journals to suppose that it would be illegal to publish any report of the trial. The fact is that the Marquis de Flea is indicted under a clause in the sinister law of " public safety," which enacts that any individual who " practices ma nceuvres or keeps up intelligence, either at home or abroad," with the view of troubling the public peace or "exciting to hatred and contempt of the Emperor's government," is liable to various heavy penalties, among which are banishment and trans portation. The Marquis de Flers has for several years past been the political correspondent of various continental journals, among which were the Independence Beige, the Augabourg Gazette, and the Courrier do Genk‘e. About a year ago, his con nexion with these journals being notorious, the venerable President of the Court of Accounts, M. Barthe, thought fit to represent to him that the position of a political correspondent was scarcely compatible with the dignity of a judge, and in obedience to the authoritative suggestion he handed over his correspondence to his son. It is alleged, however, that he took part in his son's labours, and among the papers seized at his house was a recent receipt for a month's salary from one of the above journals, in his own handwriting. The government resolved to prosecute him under the above-mentioned law, and in pursuance of special articles in the code he is tried on account of hie rank, not before the ordinary tribunal of correctional police, but by the first Chamber of the Imperial Court sitting correctionellement. Although M. Chair d'Est Ange, the Procureur- GODOMI, declared, in opening the case, that it was not a "press prosecution," the evening papers abstain from giving any report, doubting whether the government, in its indisputable power, irre spective of all law, will permit one. M. Chair d'Est Ange, with the energy which belongs to his temperament, denounced the Mar quis de Fiera as a very heinous offender, and par ticularly insisted upon the conflict between his oath of allegiance and the hostile correspondence which he had been long in the habit of writing. K Dufaure, who defended the Marquis de Fleas, began by saying that he entirely agreed with the Procnreur-Oeneral in execrating all men guilty of breaking apolitical oath. [The audienos saw an allusion in this sentence; for it was greeted by an explosion of laughter which the frowns of the judges failed to suppress for some time.] He observed that the majority of the letters upon which the charge was founded were written not by but to the Marquis de Flees. He took oocaaion to denounce in burning words the various violations of the seoresy of the post-office which were disclosed by the speech for the prosecution. In answer to M. Chaix Ange's imprudent inquiry why loyal French citizens should write to foreign journals, K Dawn) said the reason was th►t the pew in France was in fetters, and that as the whole world paid France the compliment to take an interest in what was going on in Paris, it was a neomaity of the times that correspondents should writ* for pub lication in other countries those things which could not be printed bore. M. Dufaure did not justify the taste of M. de Flees in combining the fund- ' , tines of a correspondent with those of a judge, and plainly inferred that be approved of the interference of President Bertha on the loose of professional discipline. He contended, however, that his client had been guilty of no legal offence. In the course of the proceedings some curious letters (seized in the post-office) were read from editors of the journals with which the Mews. de Flers,father and son, were in correspondence. One of these letters, written by the editor of the Journal & Geneve to K de Fiera, jun., contained the follow ing passage : _ . . It . is °too use to send ns news of the Calabrias from Paris. We also take this opportunity of remarking that I yea speak severely of Eugkad. Now, England is the best friend of our little Switzerland, and is, moreover, as we think, the sheet anchor of liberal Europe. Your father was wont to be more moderate ; allow ns to my that we regret the change to the tone of the correspondence. The case was not over when the court rose this evening. The further hearing goes on to-morrow. M. de Plancy, government candidate, has been elected deputy to the Legislative Body in the de partment of the Aude. THE AMERICAN DIFFICULTY. (From the Manchester Guardia* al to-clay.) If President Lincoln and his advisers should frankly acknowledge their officer to hays exceeded his dutyend and d/spu s. iatethe question. hisnduct, Wethere cannot, be how a happy bow ever, be blind to the existence of circumstances which render this escape from the complioation impossible. In the first place, the • intimate ac quietuses with the rides of their profession for which credit is justly given to the officers of the United States navy conflicts with the supposition that one of their number has so widely departed from the course ssacticeed by law and precedent, without believing himself to be well secured spinet the displeasure of his superiors. Again, the recent presence of the James Adger in the British Channel, with the pur pose, es we are informed oe good authority, of at tempting an enterprise similar to that achieved by the San Jacinto in the West Indies, pointa to a rystematio procedure 'avowing strongly of deliberation. Lolly, the government of Washington is notoriously not on good terms with its courts of law. It throws back with scorn the writs which they issue in the euecise of their unguestioaable authority, and pule the highest judges lathe land under personal restraint for daring to vindicate by a protest the outraged dignity of their sassed office. If, therefore, it knew that if the Trent, or any vessel similarly situated, bad been takes into a Federal port and ratimitted to the arbitrament of a Prim Court, the chugs would have been dismissed and the vessel sad her passengsm set at liberty, we can understand an attempt to snatch by force an advantage which it was known that international law would disallow. In that owe them will be no reparation end no apology. When this is proved to be the true complexion of the business with which we have todeal,tbe government of Lord Palmer ston may safely be trusted to decide what steps are meow. eery. The difficulty will be rather to discover what may be omitted out of consideration for the pitiable state to which the remnant of the republic is reduced, than to decide what may be done if we think proper to use the means of exacting satirdsetioa placed in our bands. In the meantime, everyone will approve of the determination of the government to mark its sense of the affront we have received, and the oonsecineeioes that may follow by prohibiting the export of an important ingredient of ammunition which the Ame ricans have purchased to a large extent lately in the English market; and we trust shortly to hear that this significant step has been followed by others is the same direction. (From the Leeds Mercury.) Hewers" difficult the task may be, we firmly believe that it is possible for the English government so to manage this business ea to prevent a hostile collision. Of come it will be their duty to represent the case in a outdid, friendly, and temperate manner to the Washington Cabinet, and in the present 'muddies of America we may hope that suck a representation will be met in a corresponding spirit. England henelf, when undisputed Queen of the Oman, made ender, end reparetion is the case of a wrong she had com mitted en an Americas vessel, and the impartial student of gnats must admit that by following this course her honour stand' infinitely higher than it would have done had she added to the breach of international law the crime of plunging the world into conflict for the sup port of her false position. But, supposing apology and reparation are refund, does it necessarily follow that war is the only remaining condition? In pri mes life, if an insult Is offered, en apology is de manded. If, however, the apology is refused, the insulted party certainly in no respect betters his condition by striking his antagonist in the face. In old days • duel would have been the result, but both public opinion and evil law have declared the duellist • murderer, sod have taught us to regard with contempt the man who should seek redress for insult in BO insane a man ner. To us, a war between great nations on • mere matter of apology and explanation appears just as wicked, and just ea absurd as • duel fought on account of the refusal of an apology or explanation by • private individual. It is one thing to fight for the defence of a right withheld, it is another to fight for the avenging of an outrage offered. The first is • measure to obtain justice, the second can only be a measure to obtain revenge. There are ways of showing America how sensible we are of the insult offered, and how determined we are to maintain our rights, without, as old Homer says, "sprinkling the earth with a bloody dew," and converting the ocean into • scene of wholesale pursey and slaughter. Englishmen may feel more justly proud of having shown forbearance towards a nation which seemed to delight in insult and outrage, than in making a single act of insult and outrage the ground for a war at the very thought of whisk humanity must sicken. ANNIVIIRSIBY OP THE POLISH REVOLUTION. Yesterday being the 31st anniversary of the Polish revolution of 1100-31, the funeral monies wee per formed for throe who fell m that national struggle by the Bev. T.

Aftemeseds a meeting of the Polish Historical Boafsty whose members an exclusively Poles, was held at Sumex-chandien, Duke street, Si. James's. under the presidsoey of Major Gielgud. The ClerallaN having expreseed his regret as the un. avoidable abloom of Colonel Baynes, the president, and Major fisedesserdd, the vimprenident, reviewed the recent snots and the meadestatioes °teatime' spirit of his country, which, said be, mese have sambaed all Europe of the de termination of the Poles to regain their independence, and the rights guarsateed to them, and urged them to draw example from their oomerymen, sow savagely persecuted by the tyraminal goverment of Russia, and to bear their mfferinp as exiles with fortitude and resignation. General Count Zenon= then addressed his country. mss as follows :—Gentlemen,—On meeting you here, gen tlemen with whom during so many years I have un c' em y shared labours, sorrows, and home, I am paw. rlt s led to begin by meatiming the irreparable Ms we lam suffered since I last parted with you, in the perm of the great am to whom, in everything we ever undertook fat the esertse of our country, we all looked up invariably as to *sr leader—l might almost say as to the ruler of our ecasalesess ea Poles—while, on the other band, the tini ness' rasped and vemeration which his name inspired woe to one of 1111 • souses of comfort, &series, and greeter, however, the busetit we derived from eitualities pee sod lam exprisnes, the more prolonged his life, and his pease agog unimpaired to his very lart bour—the more we dreaded the day when we should be deprived et Ms peewee mom us by the natural close of his noble and meet life. But it seems as if Providence bad, in iii mercy, resolved that our long sufferings should sow be c hanged into consolation. All the Dews from Poised emir= the bepreeeion, as though our moony- MIS wile Meer submitted to more difficult and irritating trials, they now bear them with the calm expecietba of a proximate triumph, not by any further appeal to arms, but by the daily increase of our own strength, and by the Inca parity of our «manes to master it. Thus, also, and by a favour of the same Provident's, which we cannot sufecieutly acknowledge, the very loss of our great leader and pats arch has not become, to those who followed mad supported him, a cause of weakens sod dispersion, but Ma wide them feel strooger, because still more united. The gravity of the @auk hoe might have suggested to them the necessity of drawing closer to one another and tighteuiag their hood of union for the accomplishment of their duties towards the coun try ; but invaluable assistance toms& it resulted from the weeds which Priam Caortheyski dictated on his death-bed. That eat of tonight and wisdom, as it was the lut d his public caner, renzalas one of the most important and berwatiaL To all of us whom in that act he called has Meads and fellow-labourers be has traced the rule which we have to follow in our further labours. He called upon his sea to conlintm as a true and faithful servant of his country, the work to which he himself bad devoted his life in exile, because he considered that he was placed in con , dines, best suited to the fusetioas et the chief Newman tali,' of hie country abroad, a function which he properly described as the special duty of our emigration. His friends and fallowdabourers he summoned tog ive to his son the same devoted and disinterested support which be himself had received from them. You know, gentlemen, by your own feelings and dispositions, that this last wil of Prince Cartoryski has found us all disposed to obey it. But, as one more closely associated with the labours in question, let stn share with you the good news, that there labours, daring the few months intervening since the late Prisee's have been followed he all who take part is then with 41 of salon sad concert surpassing our best hopes, and that if it be to me a true pleasure to beer testimony to the activity, talent, and disinterestednem of my unse, I am happy, at the same ti me proclaim that er tarrinoe's sou shows himself every day, by his great modesty, lie thoro ugh going derelict and natural tact, to to the great duties which he has to accomplish. Of the Dews from Poked I will allude only to the last. After a succession of measures, showing that our enemies are com pletely at aloes se to how they could overcome a whole people, on whom both firs and steel and violence of every description fail to produce the desired effect of terror and submosioo, a recent act of inanity commands the levy of 10,000 recruits for the Bunion army out of the toms of the present kingdom of Poland. The aggregate population of these towns is not one million of inhabitants ; thus, taking ose-half to be non of every age, and about sw ath to be able-bodied, every ten of the last will bare to contribute one recruit. Thus the valid and more enlight ened population of Poland is to be decimated and carefully to the most distant parts of the vast empire. rrC r v t :ffre to deplore it ? By DO means. For man J yews part the Russian regiments have been tilled with Poles, and all of them invariably acted the part of apostles of freedom. They did so because they showed themselv es more enli they fhWn e aeed ;t more b , ooest, andbecawa t t h b e o i s i e w i r te whom ncrs bore the stamp et deep sorrow. Who . knows b ut we . ows to them the feeling now widely spreading among Russians, estecially smarm tie young and the better informed, th at it hopeless to think of subjugating Pelona ; that, besides the impossibility of the °Marlines, there is, for the Roman people themselves, everlasting slavery m the pursuit. It was ono* already the glory of Poland that a formidable netghbeur of hen, Lithuania, after long and bloody OM em Christianity, and heoceforth became more than a sister to her, since the bond of union between the two na tions is now triumphing over time, and all the efforts of the common enemy to break it, Who knows but we may so yet the ItlaiSiSD nation slialcZ off both the trammel. and the °rimiest suggestions of despotism. and wish for nothiug from Poland but that she should forget the past, and become • friendly aid useful neighbour ! The present time is muai featly pregnant with great changes in the condition of the world ! Never did I feel more confident that our country shall en long have to contribute it* share in the improve meat of that condition. Mr. N. ;;;spoke to the lame effect, after 'hick the meeting separated, having paged • vote of thanks to th e chairmen. The Press of to-day says :—" We understand that in oonesquence of the corrupt and illegal prictica alleged to have been employed by the liberal patty it Carlisle, a petition ag►inst the return of Mr. Potter is to be presented to the House of Commons, when some Teri ludicrous as well as discreditable practices will be brullidll to light."

It is understood that the Cabinet Council which assembled yesterday came to the conclusion that the act of the captain of the San Jacinto, in seizing pas sengers on board a British vessel and carrying them forcibly away, is a clear violation of the law of nations, and one for which reparation must be de manded. Lord Lyons, it is said, is instructed by a despatch, which leaves by the steamer of to-day, to claim the persons of the gentlemen taken from under the protection of the English flag, together with an adequate apology for the outrage com mitted by the captain of the San Jacinto. If these demands are not complied with, Lord Lyons will break off diplomatic relations with the cabinet of Washington and return to this country. The Cabinet, we believe, will hold another meet ing this afternoon. The clerks of the Admiralty, at Whitehall, were yesterday ordered to attend until eight o'clock, pending the return of the Pint Lord of the Ad miralty from the Cabinet Council• The noble duke returned at half-put five, and the clerks were relieved from further attendance, the pre_ gumption being, that the government had decided on taking no steps towards increasing the fleet, until the result of the demands for satisfaction have been received.

The opinion of the English law officers of the crown—that the American government, in the affair of the San Jacinto, lias committed a flagrant violation of the law of nations—was known here by telegraph at an early hour in the afternoon, and is approved of without a dissentient voice. The only hope that war may be averted now rests on the good sense of the American people, which may yet prompt the United States 4overnment to ac knowledge an error. The Bourse was greatly depressed.
