" The interview was protracted and agreeable,
and the ladies left with very favourable impressions
of the President. Mr. Johnson, however, said to
them that he regretted that the national character
of the question restrained all private sympathy. He
also made the important statement that arrange-
ments have been made for the early legal trial of
'Mr. Davis according to the laws of the land."

states that when England becomes involved in war,
which cannot be far distant, the position which her
Government has taken in regard to the fitting out
of prix ateers, if allowed to stand as a precedent,

tage that they can, by furnishing privateers for
the adversary of Great Britain, inflict on her com-
merce a hundred times more damage than that sus-
tained by American commerce during the late war.
