to lb raecgt
her Consular functionaries in Secessia, or to derive
fEorng
only authority which exercises sway in Sccessia—
in other words, from president
Davis. The incon-
venience to which British subjects in Richmond
might, in the absence of Mr. Moore, ofrinom"3"thuef
r. who started
for Washington two days ago, be exposed
will be mitigated through the agency of Mr.
Gustavus Myers—a gentleman of
high chr.-
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 something of the relation of .an
amicus curio. 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 Moore's exequatur was revoked, to act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 c:anot fail to be felt
whenever General Lee ceases to act on the defers-
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 hes been made, virtu•,lly, 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 sucees-
aion 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-
