DBC. & Gewn►t, Scoer's temperate and manly letter is almost the only authoritative expression of Ame rican feeling we have yet had on the exciting . i uestion now at imam between the two countries. It is scarcely surprising that such a document should have rather disconcerted the calculations of those who, under the influence of strongly biassed feeling, had virtually decided beforehand the course which the Washington Cabinet would pursue in this grave emergency. It was instruc tive, for example, to notice the ludicrous alarm which Lord MALVIDIBUItY'M organ yesterday be trayed lest the General's letter should contribute in any way towards bringing us nearer to peace, and the nervous alacrity with which it hastened to more its readers that there was no ground what ever for such a suspicion. This alarm is never theless not altogether unfounded. The voice of an upright honourable man like General Scow, who through • long career has served his country in the most difficult and responsible poste, will be listened to with respect, and every paragraph of his letter breathes an earnest desire for peace. It is true be writes rather as an en lightened and responsible citizen than as a jurist or politician, and his letter is accordingly more valuable for the broad and calm view it takes of affairs than fur any specific opinions expressed on the points of law. But there is no ground for representing that General Scoff regards the act which threatens the peace of the two countries as a " very small affair," or for assuming that because be refers to the legal points in dispute as matters for consideration he necessarily denies the justice of our claim for reparation. Our outraged honour must be satisfied, and no one knows this better than General Scorr. But we ima gine that the communications between our own Government and the Weshingto, Cabinet are conducted according to the usages of civilised nations. To suppose the contrary would be • deep and gratuitous injustice to the responsible advisers of the Crown. But while we require and expect a practical result from the application to the Washington Cabinet which Lord Lives is instructed to make, we do not imagine that the British Government will arrogate to themselves the right of refusing to listen to what may be urged at Washington on points of law. The law under discussion is a law for both coun tries, and each Government, therefore, has an in terest in receiving the representations of the other. For the rest, General Scorr's letter displays throughout the good sense and good feeling which belong to his character, and have been so often exemplified in his public career. Those who form their notion of the Americans from the worst pas sages of the most disreputable rowdy journals, may be surprised at the terms in which he refers to this country, and the value he attaches to a good understanding between England and America. Wo have been so repeatedly told, on the authority of sensation articles of the lowest descrip tion, that the Americans hate England, desire to humiliate her, and would welcome any pretext for a war with this country, and that these national sentiments are faithfully represented by the present Government, that many may well be startled to bear, on the authority of the veteran who, till recently, was one of the lead ing members of the Washington Cabinet, that it would regard " no honourable sacrifice too great " for the preservation of the friendship of Great Britain." Those, however, who have taken pains to ascertain the real feeling entertained towards this country amongst the better classes of American citizens will not be surprised at such a statement. General Sarre goes on to add, still referring to Eng land :—" At no period of our history has her friend " ship been of more importune to our people : at no "period has our Government been in a condition "to make greater concessions to preserve it. The " two nations are united by interests sod ern " pathies--commercial, social, politic 1, and reli gious —almost as the two arms to one body, and " no one is so ignorant as not to know that what " harms one must harm the other in a eorrespond " ing degree. lam persuaded that the British " Government can entertain no doubt upon this " point ; but, if it does, I feel that I may take it " upon myself to say that the PIIIISIDCNT of the " Cuited States, when made aware of its ex " istence, will lose no opportunity of dispelling " it." are of peculiar value at the present moment, end if they at all accu rately represent the spirit that prevails at Wash ington, there can be little doubt that the good understanding between the two countries will be preserved. If the American Cabinet is really anxious for peace, and willing to make any hon ourable sacrifice to secure it, it can have little difficulty in complying with a demand sanctioned and enforced by international law. So far from there being any lose of honour in such compliance, it would be no lees dis honourable then injurious to refuse it. And who will undertake to affirm that the l'ae tt,CMT and Government of America have not the courage or the honesty to redress an international wrong even at the risk of having to brave some local and temporary unpopularity? If,whether from considerations of justice or expediency, Mr. lan eut..• decides against war with this country, we venture to say he will be supported by the great body of the American people. TM Pintoes? and his Government do not depend for support on rowdy prints, but on the American people. And whatever these journals may my, the nation has no desire whatever to go to war with its best customer and best friend. The part of General Scorr's letter which refers to the future is too important to be overlooked. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 6, 1861. He is perfectly right in intimating that this is the very opportunity for reviewing the Law of Nations as it affects the rights of neutrals. The immediate question with regard to the seizure on board the Trent must, of course, be settled first. But the point of honour once satisfied, the duty of both Government and both nations is to look forward rather than backward. The past is undoubtedly but too full of violent precedents, overbearing claims, and the assertion of rights which no laws ought to recognise and no civilised nations tolerate. In all great naval wars neutrals have not only been sufferers, but they have often suffered to an extent that is utterly un jwddiable. The right of search has been wantonly abused, to the injury of neutral shipping and the discouragement of neutral commerce. It is high time that these abuses were finally corrected by a complete revision of the law relating to the rights of neutrals. General Scorr urges this point with great force. He says truly enough, that the United States Government has been striving to accomplish this necessary revi sion for more than fifty years—from the beginning of the century, in fact. The time is snrelyoome, as he suggests, for making some attempt "to " establish these rights—tbe rights of neutrals— " on a just, humane, and philosophic basis." And the violent act of Captain WILKES may in the end be an advantage to both countries, if it issues in a united effort to bring this part of our international code more into harmony with the requirements of civilization, and the augmented wants of a busy and commercial age.

[Here follow the names of the political primates, thirty.six In all.] LATEST INTELLIGENCE. AMERICA. --, THE TRENT AFFAIR. GENERAL UNEASINESS AT THE NORTH. --, THE SOUTHERN PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. (szurza's nuoium.) NEW YORK, Nov. 22, Evsurno. (Per Edinburgh, vii Queenstown.) Edward Everett, George Sumner, and other leading American legal authorities, declare the capture of Messrs. Mason and Slidell to be in accordance with international law. The subject, nevertheless, causes a universally uneasy feeling in the public mind in respect to the relations of America with England. The Secretary of War has notified to the Go vernor of Maine that an officer will immediately be appointed to report on the sea coast defences of that state. The Federal troops are reported to be in full possession of Accomac, Northampton County, on the eastern shore of Virginia. Governor Jackson and the State Legislatu►e of Missouri have passed a secession ordinance. Mr. Smith, Federal Secretary of the Interior, has disavowed the policy endorsed by Mr. Cameron, Secretary of War, of putting arms into the hands of the slaves, declaring that such is not the policy of the Federal administration. Twenty-five vessels, which are to be sunk at the entrance of a Southern harbour, have sailed laden with stores. The Union men of North Carolina have esta blished s proviaonal gate government at Hatteras. The Confederates have burnt Warsaw, Missouri, in order to prevent the Federals making winter quarters there. General M'Clellan reviewed 70,000 men at Washington on the 20th inst., being the largest body of troops ever reviewed on the American continent. Mr. 'George Francis Train has addressed a letter from London to the New York Herald, declaring that a number of vessels are fitting out at English ports with ammunition for the South. He makes a violent attack on the British govern ment, and declares that England's neutrality is contemptible. General Halleck has issued a proclamation, noti fying that no more fugitive slaves will be allowed to enter the Federal camp, as they have carried valuable information to the enemy. The steamers Asia and City of Manchester have larrived out. The French frigate Belion& arrived at New York on the 21st instant, NEW YORK, Nov. 23,11 A.m. The British frigate Immortalitii arrived at Port Royal on the ?Bth instant. The bids at yesterday evening's stook board were slightly firmer. NEW 'YORK, Nov. 23, ErsMum. (Per Edinburgh, via Quesantinnu.) President Davis has delivered his message to the Confederate Congress. It is most determined in tone, and states that, after seven months, the Federals have failed to extend their occupancy of Fiouthera soil, and at many points have been driven to act on the defensive. The message announces that the military means and the financial condition of the Confederates are stronger now than at the commenoemeat of the struggle. It praises the people of Missouri, and defends the occupancy of Kentucky. The Confederate financial spit.= is stated to hive worked well, and to promise good results for the future. The system of issuing treasury notes, continues the message, has " fully answered the expectation of the Confederates, and if they husband their means, and make judicious use of their resources, it would be difficult to fix a limit to the period during which the Confederates will be able to carry on the war against the Federates. The re construction of the Union, which the Federal' seek to effect by force of arms, has become more and more palpably impossible. The causes which in duced the separation not only remain in full force, but have been strengthened. The Confederates shrink with aversion from the bare idea of renew ing connexion with the North. The South will be content to live at peace with the North, but the separation is final. The South will accept no alternative." President Davis then informs the Congress that Meats. Slidell and Mason, commissioned to represent the Confederacy abroad, had been seized while under the protection and within the dominion of a neutral nation, and says :—" The claim of the United States -to seize them iu the streets of London would have been as well founded as the seizure on board the Trent. Had theybeen malefactors., their arrest could not have taken place on board British ships except according to the law provided for the extradition of criminals. The Confederates asked no aid from foreign powers, but perhaps had a right to inquire if the European doctrine that the blockade to be binding must be effective was to be generally applied, or only in particular cases. Evidence will be laid before the European governments of the total inefficiency of the blockade." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, Nov. 23, Evsacixo. Nooks tending downwards.

La Patric publishes the following, under the head of " Latest Intelligence :" " It is stated (on assure) that the despatch ad dressed by the British Cabinet to Lord Lyons, to be communicated to President Lincoln, is based exclusively on legal considerations. This document, it is said, establishes that the commander of the San Jacinto, by acting as he has done, has com mitted a flagrant breach of maritime law and in sulted the English flag ; that the only right that officer possessed was to compel the Trent to go to some American port, where the case could have been brought before the proper authorities in presence of the English consul. That if, in this search, despatches had been found establishing that MM. Slidell and Mason were on a miason directly or indirectly connected with military operations, the commander would have been justified in seizing those despatches and arresting the envoys, sending in a detailed report of the transactions, with such notes and observations as the English consul might think fit to annex. These formalities not having been fulfilled, no charge could be established against the two persona arrested ; their arrest must be regarded as nul and non avenue ; that the Trent being the victim of an arbitrary act, con trary to every principle, England, acting in a con ciliatory and friendly point of view, has asked as only reparation of this grave act the liberation of MM. Slidell and Mason ; but that, if she does not obtain it, Lord Lyons would leave Washington with all the members of the Legation. " We are assured that the despatch is drawn op with great moderation—that it carefully avoids any hurtful expression ; but that it is firm in its con clusion. From the information we have received up to the present we do not think it likely that Mr. Lincoln will give up the prisoners." THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND NEAPOLITAN BRIGANDAGE. We read in the Italia of Wedneeday : AU important fact has been commeakated tom. Wears informed that a note of the French goverameat has arrived at Turin, and has been communicated to the President of the Coattail by the French Minister. In this note the Emperor's government declares that it has resolved to lead efficacious usistance to the King's government in the repression of the brigandage ' which has so loos desolated the Neapolitan provinces, which dishonours our ems, and impedes the constitution of the kingdom of Italy, which France has recognised. The note adds that the government has in consequence sent onlers to the French troops which occupy the Pontifical States, and ban recommended the Prefect of Marseilles and of other departments to watch over the Bourbon committees of whose evidence they may be cognisant. Furthermore, the imperial govern ment announces that it will insist upon the withdrawal of Francis 11. and his court from Rome. This happy intelli gence will be received with joy throughout Italy, especially at a moment when the great questions of Napless and Rome are being disowned in the Italian parliament. ROME. ROME, Nov. 21. The most important event of the week is the demonstration at the Alibert Theatre. The bills announced a benefit for an obecure actor, who, luckily for himself and his eight children, happens to bear the name of Savoie, (Savoy). The Romans at once saw an opportunity to proclaim their hatred of the papal government, and the theatre, which is generally a desert, was crammed to the ceiling as soon as the doors were opened. As the curtain rose for the first scene of a piece called L'Orto/an4 del Porto, a tempest of applause burst forth, the occasion for which was a salad, consisting of very green stuff, flanked with slices of red and white carrots—the three colours were hailed as being of the Italian flag. When Signor Savoie, made his lip pearanoe he was greeted with energetic cries of "Evviva Savoie." The noise brought forward a down of, pontifical gendarmes, at the sight of whose uniforms the evvivas redoubled, and were mingled with shouts of "Evviva the King of Italy," "Evviva Garibaldi," and "Turn out the black guards." The gendarmes then began to play with the hilts of their swords to terrify the audience. This manceuvre produced silence ; but a few momenta later showers of little square bits of paper descended from the boxes and gallery into the pit, on which pellets were written in red ink the obnoxious words "Evviva Savoia." The police then cleared the pit, and arrested four people in the boxes, viz., a retired brigadier of gendarmerie, a man named Allegiani, a waiter at a cad, and two shoemakers. The ladies in the boxes were very much frightened. A great crowd assembled outside the theatre, and at midnight they made for the Corso, but were turned back by French gendarmes, after which they gradually dispersed. Several arrests were made in the course of the night. The Vioatiat, in consequence of express orders from the Pope, has issued a decree, prohibiting under severe penalties the exercise of the calling of a photographer without a license. The reason for this measure is said to be that a photographer, getting hold of one of the numerous photographic cards of the Queen of Naples, which she is fond of exhibiting in the shops, copied the head, fitted it on to the head of a naked model, and then for warded the composite production in a letter to the Pope. HUNGARY. The following letter from Pesth of the 28th of November contains the latest news as to the state of public feeling in that country : Count Palffy, the Lientenant-General of flowery, bas since his appointment to office been surrounded by advisers who are so little acquainted with the real state of public opinion in this country, that he concludes from the superfi cial tranquillity of Hungary that the new measures intro. duced by the government have produced universal content ment. lam told by several persons who have seen him that he speaks with admiration of the attitude of the press, although the only proof it gives of devotion to the government is its silence. The count even believes that he wu made the dupe of the government when be was named dictator of a country so tranquil. In the meantime, the officials who have bees appointed unconstitutionally are completing the task imposed on them. Public functionaries are henotiorth to be appointed by the Aulic Council, but several indivi duals who have been named to high positions have refused the honour conferred on them. I have received private information from which it appeal that the Berrien are preparing for war, and that they will meet with great sympathy from the Rungariaas and Croatians. In conclusion, permit me to mention a trifling incident w hi c h gives a good idea of the disposition entertained by the Hiraprisas towards Austria. The lieutenant.goneral sent far the bandmasters of the regiments in garrison here, and esutioned them not to play any revolutionary airs. " I par ticalarly forbid you." said's*, " to play a new tune which the people call the 'Austria& scoundrels.' " " Excellency," re plisd ► Boltamilso, "it is Boa a sew tune—it is an old wag."

(PROW OUR OWN PAB.IB, TIIIIIEDLY Evzionw. The very general opinion now is that the Pattie was imperfectly informed of the intentions of the French government when it went in so strongly for immediate war with America, France joining with England as an armed mediator. The Debate makes the following observations on the manner in which the Afoniteur has spoken of that matter : This calm and moderate statement of the facts appear to as all the more worthy of attention that it contains an indirect criticism and disavowal of the language which cer tain devoted journals bold on the same subject. The re serve of the Moniker sufficiently indicates that the French government (and we congratulate it thereon) is in no haste to follow the °mamas of those journals in the adventurous course which they would fain have it to take by making common cause with England, and immediately recognising the Southern Confederation. What! the negotiations are now pending; the facts scarcely known, and the French government should take part in the quarrel Wore the question of war or pesos is resolved between the two cabinets interested! Truly, we find it difficult to understand such a line of policy. We re commend the MRCS especially to read the political bulletin of the Moniker, as the English journal will than find itself to have attributed undue importance to the manifes toes of the Patric, when it represents them as the ewes. d m of the views of the French government on the affair which now occupies the attention of the English govern ment, and which, fur the present, concerns England only. A Paris letter, in the Nuitrelliste of Rouen, says: The Emperor two days ago summoned IL Drawn de Lbuys to Compiegne, and the invitation gave rise to • re port of the rettru of that statesman to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The rumour is quits unfounded, as M. Drouyn de Lhuys was Dent for by the Emperor only to be consulted on the subject of certain details of the American question, of which be bad made a special study when be was director of political affairs under M. (luizot. The dis cussion in the next council of ministers will, it is said, tura on the opportunenem of • mediation by France in the complicntions of all kinds now pending on the other aide the Atlantic. However that may be, • report generally credited in diplomatic circles is that Prince Napoleon has strongly urged on the Emperor that the French government should not depart front its neutrality even in the event of England reoognimng the Southern Confederation. The " devoted and independent" organs which, as a matter of course, regard the pending Senatus Consultum as the mightiest work of human wisdom, insist particularly upon this merit—that in conse quence of the new sectional divisions of the budget the Corps Legislatif will enjoy the privilege of voting 66 times instead of 10. All the journals, however, whose independence is not coupled with " devotedness, " object that the additional opportunities of dividing will not render the control of the representatives of the tax-payers more efficacious than it has hitherto been, and for this reason—that the sections are so large that the rejection of any one of them would be a "stoppage of supplies," too serious to be thought of. The Temps remarks upon the discrepancy between M. Fould's report and the expose de. motifs just presented to the Senate. M. Fould saw no advantage in the sectional division of the budget, and merely recommended it on the ground of a government promise last session, which could not gracefully remain unfulfilled. The ezpose des motifs, however, lays great stress upon the sectional ar rangement as a substantial concession to the prin ciple of self-government. The Temps "greatly fears that the concession is more apparent than real, and will be found in practice almost illusory." It goes on to argue very pertinently that M. Fould's arguments point logically to a restoration of that parliamentary regime which has been so much tabooed by official people for the last ten years. There can be no substantial control of the budget by the representatives of the people unless there is a responsible ministry, nor unless a dis agreement between the government and the depu ties on any serious question be followed either by a change of ministers or a dissolution.
