The step which Mr. Davis took in ordering the selection by lots of certain prisoners to be executed or punished in the same way as a corresponding number of per. sons serving his Government, who have been sen tenced for piracy in the Northern Courts, will checkmate the Government, which in matters of life and death has shown a want of fixed principle and decision. Colonel Corcoran and his unfortunate com panions will no doubt perish on the scaffold, or un dergo such other punishment as may be inflicted on the officers and men who were taken in Confederate privateers, but there need be no apprehension con cerning their fate. All solicitation and argument has hitherto failed to induce the President to apply to Richmond for an exchange of prisoners, though his Generals are permitted to effect it in other places. But it would be too great a triumph for the White House at Richmond over the White House at Wash ington to allow it here, and wretches starve that Presidents may hold their heads high and talk about " rebels," though in good faith I must add that Mr. Lincoln is a very humane and kind hearted man. There has been another attempt to beat up the quarters of - Wilson's Zouaves on Santa Rosa Island above Fort Pickens, but the party which had landed was discovered, and was forced to retreat across the channel to Pensacola by the fire of the vessels outside. There are reports that Col. Brown is to receive orders to reduce Pensacola and my ever-ready friend Gen. Bragg to submission. Eager men say, "Nothing easier." It certainly is not a work beyond accomplishment, considering the means on both sides, but I am not inclined to think it will be attempted at present, and there is no doubt that General Bragg will make a very stout defence, and, if driven to it, a fairly conducted re treat in case of overpowering force and fire. From Beaufort there is nothing new. The negroes have, in some instances destroyed their masters' property, but there is reason to believe the great mass of them remained quietly in their houses, and are now work ing in the fields as usual. The " Unionists" have not yet appeared to hail the conquerors. The white population have gene off, leaving all their worldly goods behind them. The accounts of what took place and what was seen when the Federalists landed ought to make their politicians entertain some doubts respecting their theories, or the success of this novel process of evolving friendly feeling, Still the work is to go on. The narrow inlets will be all blocked up, and the great ports narrowly watched. Cotton is to be collected and ginned at Beaufort, and the negroes will resume the picking under the eye of their new masters. There they are welcomed, and their labour is sought after, But it is difficult to see how the United States authorities can retain them, as there is no proof they were employed by their masters in hos tile works. Gen. Dix in the extreme East, and Gen. Halleck in the West, alike aid the slaveholders in retaining their slaves by ordering the troops not to permit them to come within their lines, and declare " they will not interfere with the condition of any persons held to domestic service." In fact, the , policy of the Government on this point is quite des titute of any fixed principle ; it is essentially geo graphical, and governed by the expediency of the place and moment. The Chicago platform has broken into pieces under the cares and responsi bilities of office, and its supporters are groping in the dark for the precious pieces, and crying cut against the wickedness of mankind and the untrust worthiness of the princes of the people. Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Seward have thrown away their stilts ; they are now in the easy-chairs of the Constitution, and, no doubt, feel a pious horror of all these black Republican fellows. Who cares for Col. Cochrane, or for Gen. Fremont, or for Secretary Cameron Who for the tremendous Jennison away West, who swears he will not strike a blow unless he be autho rised to kill slavery? There is one peculiarity in the Government of the United States which sur prises a foreigner, and is not readily intelligible — that vital differences on vital questions may exist among the Cabinet. This arises from the fact that the Cabinet in no degree resembles the body from which it takes its name in European States. It can scarcely be said to be responsible for any act of the, Executive. It is rather a Board of information and advice, to which the President can apply or not as he pleases; and when you refer to a statement from Secretary This or Secretary That as a proof that the views of the Government are in any particular direc tion, the reply of your antagonist generally is, " Who minds what Secretary This says ?—he isn't of any account." However, as Mr. Secretary Cameron issues instructions to the Federal Generals which quite sati/ey Mr. Sumner, it may be inferred he is carrying hAI own way to some extent. Never thelese, ory tho P rooident—ttia.pUt /dB fegt, down" is becoming very strong frnm 1 % , .+ 1, parties. and it is not easy to see what particular doctrine is going to suffer from the pedal imposition of the Pre sident. While the land operations are being in some degree suspended—and frost and snow visit us to day—naval expeditions will be pushed on actively. In a letter written two months ago, I stated that the Government were about to send out a flotilla of stone-laden ships to sink in the channels and entrances to harbours along the Southern coast. This is a curious mode of making up for the defi ciency of blockading power, and does not look as if the North were very hopeful of a speedy recovery or subjugation of the seceded States. The idea is revived ; the vessels have been purchased, have been filled with stones, and are ready to sail with the expedition under General Butler, in order to develope the notion of making the country pros perous by stopping trade and commerce in or out. Twenty-five old whalers, of an average burden of some 350 tons, have been prepared, so that they can be readily sunk with their freight by means of pipes inserted under the counter: The Mississippi flotilla and expedition, which wore in a state of suspended animation, have revived once more, under the care of Captain Foote, of the United States Navy, and seven gunboats of 15 guns each and 28 mortar ketches are nearly ready for the water. It will to difficult to manage these vessels in the current, and the river is low at this period of the year ; but the foliage has disappeared from the woods on the banks. If the expedition reaches Memphis there may be well•founded apprehensions for New Orleans. Mr. Jefferson Davis, in his Message, meets all the dangers which menace his Confederation with an expression of unalterable confidence in it, and of hostility to the United States, which cannot be read without admiration for the courage and resolution of the man who has so far carried out his vast con ception with the utmost vigour and ability, Although the accounts of destitution in the South are exaggerated, there is no douht they are ill pro vided in many points, and will be sorely u:ccl :n the next four months. The Richmond papers some time ago stated that on a calculated expenditure of 300,000,000 dollars there was a deficiency of 175,000,000, notwithstanding all Mr. Memminger's efforts and the wholesale manufacture of " shin plasters." Only one-half of the Confederate loan has been taken, and the cotton bonds under present circumstances are valueless. In nearly every con test with the Confederates it has been remarked that their arms are very bad ; indeed, they fight at every disadvantage—fowling-pieces and flint locks opposed to sword-bayoneted Enfield and Springfield muskets. It is rumoured that there is great activity among the slavers since the United States' squadron has been ordered home. The port of Now York is the head quarters of the slave trade, which is carried on in Northern ships by Northern capital and Northern men. The conduct of Mr. Barney, the collector, in causing the slaver Augusta to be pursued and captured when she had run out to sea after giving bond, and the activity of the authorities recently, may do something to destroy the trade—but the Americans can scarcely complain of private indi viduals in Great Britain following their example during the Russian war, and trying to run the blockade for private gain, when we find the New Yorkers at work supplying the Confederates, as in the case of the schooner Mabel, seized by the United States' sloop Dale while trying to run into Fernandina, on her way from Havanna, with a, BROKERS.

I This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing the ' Lease of a very valuable tract of Mineral Land in the Island of Anglesey, in thelParish of Holyhead, held under lease from the Hon. W. 0. STANLEY, at a moderate royalty, for twenty-two years yet unexpired. • Assays, made by Messrs. Johnson and Son, Basinghall street, London, of average portions, prove the stuff to con tain, when dressed, 7 to 10 per cent. of copper at the present depth. Reference is particularly invited to the extract or a letter from one of the most scientific geologists of the age, Sir Richard Griffith, Bart., of the Boari of Public Works, Dublin, who has kindly given permission for his opinion to be added to the Prospectus —as well as to the reports from the emi nent Mining Engineers, Jehu Hitchins, Esq., John H. Cle ment, Esq., C.E., F.G.S., and Alfred Jenkin, Esq., showing the net profits to be about 25 per cent. upon the nominal, and 50 per cent. upon the proposed paid-up capital at the present workings. Encouraged by the large returns of the Pary's Mountain and Mona Mines, situated at Almwoh , in the same island and county, the directors have formed a very favourable opinion of the value of this venture, which they believe can be made productive by an outlay of not more than Five Thou sand Pounds. _ The situation of the Mine is all that can b 2 desired, being only two miles, on a level road, from the Holyhead Railway Station, and ten yards from the sea at high water. The royalty is light, and every Precaution has been taken by the Directors to economise the preliminary expenses. Already have a considerable number of shares been applied for. Srecimens of the Ore may be seen at the Offices. The lia bility of the shareholders will limited to the exact amount of their shares. No further call can be made on the holders of the shares. If no allotment is made the Deposits will be returned in full. Prospectuses may be obtained and application for shares will be received at the Offices by the Directors and by the Brokers of the Company ; but in no case will any application be attended to unless a deposit of 10s. per share be paid to the Bankers of the Company, and their receipt forwarded to the Office.

This Company is established to supply merchants and the trading community with facilities not yet afforded by Bankers or any existing Association, to make advances on produce and mer handise, and to receive upon the credit of a large sub scribed Capital, money on Deposit at a fixed rate of interest, and to lend the same, together with the paid Capital, on con vertible mercantile securities. Although Bills of Exchange are readily negotiated with out the d. posit of any collateral security, there does not exist any adequate means of obtaining advances on merchandise or produce. This Company proposes to supply this want by making advances upon the security of Merchandise, Bills of Lading, or Warrants representing Merchandise lying in the Docks, Wharves, or Bonded Warehouses, or other marketable securities. It is well known that consignments of Merchandise of great extent and value are made annually to London from all parts of the world, as well as from the Manufacturing Districts throughout England ; and it is expected that Merchants and Manufactur , rs will readi y avail themselves or the facilities, now for the first time offered by any Public Company, for ob taining immediate advances on their property. The aggregate amount of Trade of the United Kingdom in exports and imports, in 1860, exceeded £350,000,000 sterling, and during the last 25 years the exports alone have increased 400 per cent. The Company will afford every facility for sampling and inspection of Goods, to effect sales, to redeem any portion or , the whole at any moment. It is well known that the large yearly in.creasing dividends of the Banking Institutions are mainly produced by their advances on mercantile securities.

The London Joint Stock Banks show an increase for the last 10 years of 202 per cent., while it will be seen that th.s... shares bear a premium in relation to capital of 95 to 260 per cent., and that the dividends range from 15 percent. to 20 per cent. per annum. These facts show that if the London Joint Stock Banks under a restricted system have made such enormous profits, this Association may, by the application of a large capital to advances on produce and merchandise, not only be placed on a firm basis, but be enabled under its extensive system of operations to realise large profits, equal to those of any of the Joint Stock Banks.

INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, 1862,- REFRESHMENT DEPARTMENT.—Messrs. DIOR RISH and SANDERS, Contractors for Western Area, re quest that all communications respecting the above may be addressed to their office, Messrs. Burton and Co.'s Advertis ing Agency, 2, Whitcfriars-street, Fleet-street, under cover to Mr. Ferrar. while his manners, his accomplishments, and his knowledge of society, as well as his modera tion of opinion in reference to the merits of other systems of government, were well suited for a foreign mission. Mr. Slidell, whom I had the pleasure of meeting in New Orleans, is a man of more tact, and is not inferior to his colleague in other respects. He far excels him in subtlety and depth, and is one of the most consummate masters of political manoeuvres in the States. He is what is called here a " wire-puller"—a man who unseen moves the puppets on the public stage as he lists— a man of iron will and strong passions —who loves the excitement of combinations, and who in his dungeon, cr whatever else it may be, would con spire with the mice against the cat sooner than not conspire at all. It struck me that he was living sullenly apart from Montgomery, waiting to be called in when I saw him, and I have no doubt Mr. Davis selected him with alacrity for the post which he was so well adapted to fill. Originally a Northern man, he has thrown himself into the Southern cause, and staked his great fortune on the issue with out hesitation, and with all the force of his intellect and character. But even he believed that England must break the blockake for cotton. Little did he think then how prominent his name would become in reference to the relations between his own coun try and Great Britain. It is not too much to say the North gloats over the capture of these two men, and would consider it an equivalent for Leesburg or Columbus. Their hauteur, skill, and resolution have made them many enemies, and personal anti paties of the strongest kind exist between them and some of those who now have them in their hands. The creation of a precedent founded on what ap pears to me to be an outrage on the comity of na tions and on the privileges of neutrals is not more dangerous than submission to a wrong without re dress or apology, in order to avoid a quarrel with a Power friendly as far as treaty goes, if not in sen timent. The secret Secession organ of New York is play ing the game of the Confederates by exciting as far as it has any influence, the ignorant masses against England in reference to the Mason and Slidell arrest, and in shouting out for a war with her sooner than submit to the indignity of doing justice. The poor Jack Pudding, in his fear of detection, is holding on by the skirts of the Secretary of State, and his cry is, " Seward and I are quite agreed:on this! Seward is my man, and lam Seward's man. Here we are to gether. His programme is this—We ask no favours from England ; wesimply demand justice, and if she will not yield that, we will fight her as we did be fore. If she will not listen to words then let us try what virtue there is in cannon balls." It is a melan choly exhibition—degrading to the people who tole rate it and only offensive because the Americans do not publicly repudiate, as they do privately, such pu ling braggadocio. When Mr. Seward permits his name to be used in such a manner, and when the White House is the headquarters of people who are supposed to exercise influence over the " organ" and the inmates of the House, there is colour for the supposition that these miserable insults are not dis tasteful to persons who ought to shrink at all events from the discreditable association of those who offer them. It is most extraordinary that, in matters deeply affecting the object for which they are contending, the North will ignore studiously and completely the merits of the case in which so much is involved. One would think that Mr. Everett might pause before he cited the case of the Caroline or the arrest of Mr. Laurens as cases in point, and that writers in a respectable paper like the New York Times, by the very magnitude of the issue, would be restrained from engaging in the puerilities which form the staple of their articles on the arrest of Messrs. Slidell and Mason, notably in their publi cation of Friday (November 22). Their arguments go on the assumption that they arc " at war" with the Confederate States, and that England has been notified of the fact. It is notorious, on the contrary, that the Government of the United States has resisted and resented the idea that it is "at war," and has insisted that it is blockading its own ports, having abandoned an absurd pretence of levying duties outside which it was authorised by Congress to do. When did the Government of Washington declare war ? Was not Great Britain menaced and affronted because she granted to the seceded States belligerent rights limited in degree? " A neutral," says Wheaton, " is the common friend of both parties, and consequently is not at liberty to favour one party to the detriment of the other." If that be so, henceforth, according to the new practice of the United States' Government, we are bound to carry no more despatches to Mr. Adams, and to permit no messenger, envoy, ambas sador, or despatch in the service of the United States to go in any of our ships to Europe, and supposing the doctrine of the United States to be true, we ought to take that course. We have assumed a neutral character between the Northern States and the seceded States ; to the latter we have conceded a position vested with belligerent rights. "A neutral has nothing to do with the justice or in justice of the war." Granted that by the conces sion Great Britain gave an excuse for the exercise of the right of search which the Americans claim as a belligerent right, as long as they declare they are not at war, but are merely suppressing an internal commotion, they exercise it de leur tort in any case, but in no case can they be permitted to exercise it where the character of the ship is notorious, and where, in the nature of things, she cannot be the object of legitimate search or the subject of suspicion. Are the captains of our mail steamers to determine the political status of their passengers and act as judges of international law before they permit them to embark in their ships? To the captain of the Trent, Mr. Slidell and Mr. Mason were merely passengers entered on the list in the ordinary way, and even if he had read anything about them in the papers, at most he could know they were believed to be sent by an unrecognized Government for a political pur pose to Europe, and he would have had no more right to stop them, and examine their papers and de spatches, than he would have to subject Mr. Cassius Clay or Mr. Thurlow Weed to a similar process. If he was bound by the Queen's proclamation of neutrality to object to the passage of the one, he was equally obliged to do so in case of the others. Imagine the masters of the Dover and Calais steamers interrogating Italian and Hungarian re fugees during the Austrian war as to their politics and objects ! Sir W. Scott lays down expressly as a rule re specting contraband that it must be taken in delicto, in the actual prosecution of the voyage to an enemy's port. (Adm. .Repts.," The lonia," vol. 3, p. 168.) Under the circumstances, the search of the Trent for contraband could not be justified. Cap tain Wilkes knew the character of the ship, and was well aware he could not find contraband on board of her. Had she been sailing from Havannah full of arms and munitions of war for Southampton, to be thence transferred to a vessel for Americain tended to run the blockade, she could not, never- theless, be touched under any pretence whatever in accordance with the law of nations. No writer has ever laid it down of late days that an ambassador of an enemy can be seized on board a neutral ship which has sailed from one neutral port and is bound to another. If the Trent were employed specially to convey Messrs. Mason and Slidell and their de spatches, there might be some show of justification for the seizure, but as it stands there is none what ever. De Hautefeuille indicates clearly that postal vessels are exempt from such action ; they are so necessitate rel. The New York Times very poorly and weakly puts a case of an Ambassador of France going on board a neutral ship of a small State to form a hostile alliance against England in time of war, and asks if an English ship of war would not seize ? If against law, and the seizure was made, doubtless the State so aggrieved would have grounds for making yfar and doing its beet to obtain This Day, Bvo, the H ISTORY OF CIVILISATION IN ENGLAND, By HENRY THOMAS BUCKLE.

" It is so clear we are right in seizing Mason and Slidell that we will go on proving the point daily, persisting on there being no doubt about it, demon strating that the justice and legality of the act re quire no demonstration. We will never cease in maintaining in the face of the world that two and two make four—or five, if we like." If need were for any new proof of the influence of passion in blinding the eye of reason it would be found in the extraordinary manner in which the American press, jurists, and speakers have treated the arrest of the "ambassadors" of the Confederate States on board the Royal Mail steamer Trent. But there are many people who in private hold very different language. The quiet little tongues of the Stock Exchange are hinting their doubts very unmistakeably, and I ven ture to assert that if the opinions of the judges of the land were sought privately they would pronounce against " the bold and patriotic act of Commodore Wilkes." The best legal authorities in this city are against it. But with the moral cowardice:which is the result ofsubmission—habitual prostration to the force of a majority—men will neither publish nor write, nor speak openly what they are free to con fess in the study or the conversation corner. There Quite right—don't b i is a n f c r h a o i d r u ,, s , n ail d o a v n e r i t m h m e l e a n n s d e Quite unt of mutual pat ting on the back. People ask," What does England care about Slidell and Mason ?" and are astonished to be told in reply that she cares something about the law of nations and her national honour. If it were believed really that Great Britain would take any serious notice of the act there would be an im mediate panic in the commercial and monetary world which would extend its effects to every class in the Union, from the President who invests his salary in the national loan down to the daily labourer. But there is a sustaining hope that the Cabinet will not do anything, that at the very outside there will be a remonstrance and a lengthy correspondence, which will end as many other matters of protocol and despatch have ended before. As I write there is a rumour that Messrs. Slidell and Mason are to be surrendered. If it be true this Government is broken up. There is so much violence of spirit among the lower orders of the people, and they are so ignorant of everything except their own politics and passions, so saturated with pride and vanity that any honour able concession, even in this hour of extremity, would prove fatal to its authors. It would certainly render them so unpopular that it would damage them in the conduct of this Civil War. Admitting the general diffusion of the arts of reading and writing among the people, there is a special ignorance of anything but American notions which is very astonishing. I may mention in proof of this that I have received several letters requesting me to appear in public for the aid of benevolent or literary societies, the writers of which were good enough either to elevate me to the peerage, or were labouring under the delusion that the noble earl at the head of the Foreign office was seeking relaxation from the cares of his department by acting as your special correspondent in the United States. These letters were written by secretaries of associations or by people who wore literary enough to keep collections of autographs. Adulation, incessant flattery for party or personal objects, have puffed up the mob with foul vapours till they are nigh bursting with intolerance, and have thinned away the skin of their balloon till it is pouring out gas all over the land. How is any honest, hard-handed Wisconsin lumberer, then, who is sitting with his loaded rifle at full cock on the stump of a tree, and reading his newspaper and smoking his tobacco in the discharge of the highest duties of a citizen and a sentinel, to knew the truth when he is 'assured by his best possible instructor that the English aristocracy, having sent Mr. George Thompson over to the States to destroy the Union by tampering with the slaves, are now de spatching enormous armies to Canada to seize upon Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, the prospe rity of which are an insult to their system and an eye-sore to the Queen, the Prince Consort, and the rest of the Royal Family ? How is he to resist the appeals to his prejudices daily instilled into him when he is told that he is the finest fel low in the world ; that he is the only freeman on the face of the earth; that the English hate and fear him ; that " Vattel," and " Wheaton," and " Ortalan " show Wilkes was wrong because he did not seize and take the Trent into port for con demnation, and that he and a million and a half of soldiers, the handsomest, tallest, stoutest, straight est, heaviest, bravest, best shooti ng , b es t march ing,a b v be e s e t- n d , or isc vipelienredw, and best-pri nc i p l e d th a t are , hill be —the cream of creation in arms—will be called in shortly to avenge innu merable insults, and wipe out the systems which emperors, kings, tyrants, and aristocrats have in vented for the oppression of suffering humanity all over the rest of the globe ? I would give a good deal for a view of that man's head. Why, it must be filled with:heroes, " such faultless monsters as the and bunkum world ne'er saw,", choke-full of victo r i es th a t never existed—teeming h ' great perorations, crowded with vision s o f d emons lik e at Union processions , wwith Jeff. Davis and Lord Lyons, and the Duchess of Sutherland, all wheeling round and dancing about to a great crash of music, and the strains of "Yankee-doodle," while muffled assassins move through the throng, wrapped in cloaks above which peep out the prongs of Britannia's trident, the kepi of him of the Tuileries, or the fan of the Lady of Spain, stiletto in hand, seeking for an opening to get a dig at the Goddess of Liberty, who is at that moment engaged in conversation with President Lincoln, Mr. Seward, and the editor of his particular journal. He has no chance of a cure—all access to medicine is shut out, and the Wisconsin man will fight to the death in support of his insanity—he will die before he will give up Mason and Slidell. It is very probable— if Mr. Jefferson Davis ever condescends to such a thing—that he sang and danced with delight when he heard of the capture of these gentlemen ; it is not too much to suppose he sent them on their mission because they were in his way. Mr. Mason is a man of considerable belief in himself ; he is a proud, well-bred, not unambitious gentleman, whose posi tion gave him a right to expect high office, for Which iu some respects he was Unfitted t%t home; PRICE .4d. STAMPED ....sd. redress. But there is no parallel at all. The ques tion the New Fork 2imes should put is this :—lf England and France were at war, and the latter sent an Ambassador to embark at Stettin and go to Cronstadt in the Russian mail steamer, would Eng land justify the conduct of a captain of one of her armed ships who fired at the Imperial mail steamer, brought her to, then by armed force dragged the Ambassador on board his ship as a prisoner ? Would Russia tolerate such an act for one moment ? But the word" Ambassador" implies that he is the agent of a recognised Power. When and where have the Confederate States been recognised as a Power competent to open diplomatic relations by an Ambassador ? Mr. Laurens was on board an American vessel—a vessel belonging to a rebel lious enemy, resisting the sovereignty of Great Britain, which had not succeeded in esta• Wishing its independence. His case has no thing whatever to do with the arrest of Slidell and Mason. Another wiseacre, who writes to prove how the agents of the Persia respected the Queen's proclamation of neutrality by refusing to permit guns, &c., to be taken on board at Liver pool for the United States, forgets that the Persia was sailing from a neutral to the port of a belli gerent. Guns were unmistakeable contraband of war ; Mr. Slidell and Mr. Mason can only be made so by the introduction of some principle of law as yet unknown to civilized nations. They were not soldiers; if they were, it is not possible to main tain that they could have been seized, if they were sailing from a Spanish to an English port, even with an animus revertendi, unless they had hired the vessel for their special conveyance. As bearers of despatches, men cannot be seized and imprisoned permanently on board neutral ships in which they are sailing as ordinary passengers. A neutral ship carrying contraband is liable to confiscation, but her crew aro only confined till they have given evidence in the case. It is the uniform law that when a capture has been effected within the limits of a neutralterritory, i.e., within its seas, "the property must be re stored." Sir William Scott's judgment on that point in the " Vrow Anna Catharina" has never been questioned. For all intents and purposes the property of Messrs. Mason and Slidell and they themselves were, when under the British flag, on neutral ground. "It is the right as well as the duty of the neutral State to restore it to its owners." Vattel declares that "in whatever does not relate to the war the neutral must not refuse to one of the parties, merely because he is at war with the other, what he grants to that other." But over and above all these points is the fact, before insisted on in my letters, of the special character of the ship itself. The principle involved in that fact is not only asserted by writers of authority, but was announced in the postal convention between England and the United States in 1848, in which it was ex pressly stipulated that, in case of war between the two countries, the mail packets between the two countries should be allowed to con tinue their service without molestation until six weeks' notice had been given by either Govern ment of the intention to stop it, when they would be permitted to return specially protected to their ports. It never could have been foreseen that the United States would have claimed the right to board and arrest passengers in the Royal West India mail steamers on the high seas, or we should have had, no doubt, very explicit declarations on the point. The character of the vessel should have rendered all her passengers safe from molestation. If the flag has any sovereign right and protecting power at all, it is in the case of political refugees or offenders who have sought its shelter. Admitting all that can be said of them—even that they wers " Ambas sadors"—i, e., that the Confederate States of America are recognized by the United States of America as a separate State— there would have been a ground of grave remonstrance had they been seized on board a common merchant ship bound from Havannah for Southampton. "For two centuries past," says Wheaton, " there has been a constant tendency to establish the prin ciple that the neutrality of the ship should exempt the cargo, even if enemy's property, from capture and confiscation as prize of war. But this seizure would put the world back many a long year. There are certain things which a man cannot submit to with the most peace-loving disposition in the world, or if he does submit must bear the scorn of his fel lows. No word of war has been breathed by Eng lana,-while the air is full of menace overliere, - tt 1 capital shut up by hostile batteries from free access to the sea, and protected by an army which has now assumed a defensive attitude probably till the return of fine weather next year ! The journals, with some very few exceptions, are jubilant in their exultation over a new difficulty--some new source of strength to the Union. The sensitive capitalists of New York are assured that if the United States resolve to persist in the capture there is no danger of war ; at all events, it will be long delayed by negotiation and the usual diplomatic formalities. There was no intention on the part of Captain Wilkes to insult the British flag, forsooth ; he took his prisoners with only such a display of force as the case required—of what can the British Government complain ? In time of war neutrals may be visited and searched by the vessels of either belligerent, for in their confusion the United States' papers have got into the habit of considering the Confederates as belligerents—of looking on them as we were unfortunate enough to say we thought they were some time ago. Such are ideas hammered on a thousand clanging anvils—a pin beaten into foil. Capt. Wilkes when he stopped the Trent by shotted guns knew perfectly well the vessel could not contain contraband of war. Had she been crammed with munitions of war, which would have feund their way into the Confederate States after they had been landed in England, he, nevertheless, knew well he could not touch a mus ket or a cartridge ; but he knew Mason and Slidell were on board, and he was determined, coute qui coute, to have them. Reviews and reconnoissances and foraging parties occupy our Grand Army of the Potomac. There are also disputes to engage the attention of the autho• rities, and it is reported to mo to-day that General Blenker, the idol of the Germans, has resigned or intends to do so. That event would cause trouble and dissatisfaction. It is obvious that a large army is going into winter quarters. Long ranges of stabling, sheds for stores, and wooden barracks are rising up on both sides of the river and around the capital. The prospect is by no means agreeable to many thousands of soldiers. Volunteers are impatient of standing camps and campaigning of this sort. The pay and the distress at home are inducements to remain in order to remit money to their families, which they are doing very largely. Among the Confederates the same repugnance to an inactive hibernation exists doubtless to a greater degree. A letter, attributed to General Beauregard, which appears in the Southern papers, would imply that there is more serious dissension higher up, and men like Wigfall among civilians and Beauregard among military men may be inclined to dispute the cautious policy which Mr. Davis follows in the field. The non-events of the week do not justify me in transcribing the notes of my diary. The advance of the Federalists into the two counties of Virginia which lie on the left bank of the Chesapeake has been hailed with pleasure by oyster eaters, and various mysterious affairs—in which Zo.licoffer, Polk, Ben M'Cullagh, Price, Hunter, and Pillow are mixed up in inextricable confusion with Big Muddy, Wild Cat, and Great Licking—are reported to have occurred down west. The rumour that the Black Flag has been hoisted by the Confederate troops and by the people in South Carolina must be received with suspicion. The Cabinet of Mr. Davis would never sanction the act, for they have been struggling all along to obtain the status of a nation, and to establish a right to the u6ages of war on the part of their opponento, atteropt4 to treat their :~~;
