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.

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."

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/spus. iatethe
question.hisnduct,
Wethere cannot,
behowa
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. Maatry, which was atteaded by a large Number of
Polish refugees resident in the metropolis. 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.
rltsled 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 changed 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
ertarrinoe's sou shows himself every day, by his great
modesty, lie thoroughgoing 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.
rrCrvt:ffre to deplore it ? By DO means. For manJ
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 themselves
