LATEST INTEILIGLIIiCE.

AMERICAN ANVAIREL

It appears that the earliest data at which the
news of the reception of the British demand by the
Washington cabinet can reach us will be Saturday,
the 28th of December. The Cunard steamer which
left Queenstown with the despatch to Lord Lyons
on Monday last, the 2nd inst., will arrive at Boston
about the 14th. The Africa will leave New York
011 the 18th, and will be due here about the 30th,
but a telegram of her news might possibly reach
London from Queenstown a day or two earlier.
The Persia and Australasian are being rapidly
fitted for the conveyance of troops, stores, and am-
munition, and it is expected they will be ready to
sail hence for Canada about the 14th or 15th lust,
Each of them is to carry out a complement of 1,100
soldiers, 5,000 stand of arms, and 300 tons of
stores. Besides these each is to take out a field
battery and a large quantity of ammunition. lu
addition to the two vessels named above, it is nn-
denstoisl that negotiations are on foot for securing
one or two othor first-elsuis steamers.

We understand that the Grenadier Guards have
received orders to hold themselves in readiness to
embark immediately for Canada. The three butte-
hulls will muster about 4,000 men.
The special correspondent of the Times at Wash-
ington says :

" The position of Lord Lyons is most difficult,
but there need be no apprehension that he will fail
to maintain the dignity of Great Britain in this
remarkable crisis. Mr. Seward, I believe, in
speaking of the arrest, did not consider it at all
neceamary to allude to the mode in which the per-
sons of Masers. Slidell and Mason had been trans-
ferred to the custody of the government, and the
subject will doubtless be approached with due
caution and reluctance by the state department,
but I have the best reason for thinking General
M'Clellan not only disapproved the conduct of the
naval officer who made the capture, but expressed
his opinion that the boarding and seizure could not
be justified. The intelligence has, indeed, been
received with something like consternation by
thinking and respectable politicians, and already
there are men talking of an ample apology' and
feeble reference to the right of search which has
been maintained by England, and therefore cannot
be, forsooth, objected to by her goverumeut when
it is practised by the vessels of a nation which has
always refused to recognise it."
The Paris Moniker, in Its bulletin of to-day,
says :

"The American journals credit the idea that
Enghuid, who, until now, has been so accommoda-
ting to all pretensions of the United States, will yet
yield in the affair of the Trent. This arrogance
offends British pride, and deters it from any desire
to modify the oonditions upon which an arrange-
ment may be effected. To know, however, what
will take place it is necessary to await the hour
when the illusions of the American people will b 3
dispersed, when they will know pertinently that
England demands, before all, reparation and the
release of the prisoners."
