26 months of patient endurance, Mr. Davis is not
justified in demanding that British Consuls resid-
ing in the Confederacy shall ammoniate only with
the Home Government, and no longer with the
Minister accredited to •au alien enemy. Iu con-
sonance with this policy, Mr. Cridland, who lately
succeeded Mr. Magee as Acting British Consul at
Mobile, and exhibited au authority from Lord
Lyons as his title to act at Mobile, has been forbid-
den by the Confederate Government so to act, and
has been requested, "in order to avoid misconstruc-
tion," to select at this moment some place as his
En
residence other than the State of Alabama. It is
obviously the design of the Confederate Government
that Great Britain shall henceforward have no fresh
Consuls in the Confederate States who derive their
authority from Washington, and are forbidden, ex-

will be mitigated through the a'gene.T of Mr.

racter and standing in this • city, universally
esteemed in the Government departments,
who has
consented to act as adviser to British subjects,
and
to stand to them in aometeing of the relation of an
amicus curice. There is little reason to doubt that
in all cases where British subjects possess legitimate
claims to exemption Mr. Myres will be enabled to
see them righted. The greatest disposition has
hitherto been shown by the War Department here,
since Mr. Moore's exequatur was revoked, to act
honourably and uprightly in its dealings with
foreigners.
Before this letter is read by the English public
the outlines of General Lee's intended campaign
will probably have disclosed themselves to the Fede-
rals, and, although anxiety cannot fail to be felt
whenever General Lee ceases to act on the defen-
sive, I have such confidence in the matured wisdom
of his plans, and in the valour and discipline of his
troops, that it is hard to say whether in the words
of the Duke of Wellington, it is not " reasonable to
expect such ,an army to go anywhere, or do any-
thing."

The conversation of Mr. Vallandigham since his
entry into Dixie is full of interest, as reported by
those who have spoken with him. He seems after
his arrest to have had but one fear—that President
Lincoln would extend clemency to him and set him
at liberty again. As matters stand, no one knows
better than Mr. Vallandigham that he is master of
the situation. He has been made, virtually, by Mr.
Lincoln's persecution, Governor elect of Ohio. How,
if he should find his way into Canada, should thence
enter Ohio, and dare Mr. Lincoln to arrest him
again ? Is there not in the North any vision keen
enough to pierce far into the future and to foresee
that in ostracising Mr. Vallandigham President
Lincoln has, perhaps, insured that martyr's succes-
sion to the Presidential chair ? Before the candi-
dates of next year shall rise into public view the
claims of General Butler or General M'Ciellan will
have faded into obscurity. Will not the claims of
Mr. Vallandigham grow brighter and stronger,
and so much the more as ye see the day approach.
