federate Commissioners—one on his way to the Erg-

lish, and the other, it is supposed, to the French
GovQrnment. They were forcibly taken out of the
Royal Mail Company's steamer Trent, whilst on her
passage from Havanna to St.Thomas's, by the Com-
mander and men of the American war ship San
Jacinto.

We do not wonder at the sensation which this
circumstance has caused among all classes here, nor
at the fall of nearly per cent. which it has caused

in our Funds. It Isamost untoward event at the

present moment, and cannot fail to prove produc-
tive of very serious complications.
And matters, there is every reason to fear, will be
greatly aggravated by the fact, that there may be

soms important and very difficult points of a legal

kind involved in the circumstances under which the

occurrence has taken place.

The Federalists will doubtless maintain that the
capture comes within the scope of the Treaty of the
Right of Search, to which we made ourselves par-
ties a few years ago. They will, there cannot b 3 a
question, contend that the two Confederate Com-
missioners, Messrs. Slidell and Mason, having en-
tered our West India steamer the Trent, not in their

capacity as private individuals, but as persons

charged with an important political commission by

Confederate Government to the Governments of

England and of France, rendered themselves liable
to capture as coming under the category of contra-

band of war. Of course, it will be for the Federalists
to prove in the clearest manner that the two gen-
tlemen in question were really Commissioners from

,he Confederate Government, and were on their way

:o Europe for the purpose of promoting the warlike

objects of the Southern States.

We deal with the question on the assumption

inst., and Capt. Westerdorf informs us that he passed
safely out to sea, without seeing any of the blocka-

Charleston
ston she had stowed away 250 bales of cotton
which she was obliged to unship again in conse-
quence of the determination cf the Charleston
people not to let a bale of cotton go out of the port.
This statement may appear somewhat strange in
the face of the arrival of the screw steamer Bermuda
at llavre yesterday, with close upon 2 000 bales of
cotton, from Charleston. We are, however, reliably

:o establish their allegation beyond all possibility of

doubt, but then will come another question—" Did
the commander of the Trent receive Messrs. Slidell

informed that the Bermuda received her cargo of
cotton as a reward for the temerity displayed by

and Mason on board his vessel, knowing them to be
Commissioners from the Southern States Govern-

ment ?" On this point we have received no informa-
tion, and therefore we do not enter into a considera-

lon of the other question—supposing it can be

proved that the English Commander knew nothing
of the official character of the two gentlemen—how
far that would bar the right of the Commander of
the Federal ship of war to insult the British flag and
board the British steamer, in the face of a most
vehement protest made by the Captain and Corn-.
manderWilliams, the Admiralty agent, against such
steps on the part of the Commander of the Ameri-
can vessel of war.

These and other points will be for the con-
sideration of the law officers of the Crown. But
whether or not the conduct of the Govern-

ment of President Lincoln in this matter be in con-
sonance with international law, one thing is suffi-
ciently clear, namely, that the Federalists have
committed an act which is the reverse of courteous
to this country. It would appear as if they were
determined to irritate, by affronting, the English
Government and the English people. We say no-
thing of the taste, whether good or bad, of this sort
of procedure, but, as regards its policy, there will
not, we are certain, be two opinions either in Eng-
land or in Europe. To " find out their mistake" is
a favourite American phrase. The Federal Govern-
ment will, in all probability, be furnished with an
experimental illustration of the import of the words.
Unless we greatly err, they will discover before
long that the proceeding in question is as unwise as
it is outrageous. Even already, before the intelli-
gence of the occurrence in question had been known
three hours in this country, an indignation meeting
was convened to be held in Liverpool. The senti-
ments on this subject of the merchants and people
generally of that great commercial place will
be found, before many days have elapsed, to be
those of all classes in the British empire.
It would seem as if the wounded vanity of the
Americans had brought upon them a judicial in-

her captain in running the Charleston blockade with
a cargo of supplies for Charleston. The holders of
cotton will gladly exchange that article for arms
and other necessaries; but they will not sell.
" There is no use (said Capt. Westerdorf) in vessels
running the blockade in ballast in the expectation
of getting cargoes of cotton. It is only vessels like
the Bermuda, which can carry supplies to Charles-
ton, that may expect to get cotton cargoes." This
determination, the captain says, is not confined to
Charleston alone, but it prevails throughout all the
Southern ports. The Helen sails under the Confe-
derate flag, and made the passage from Charleston
to this port in 24 days, although she encountered
rather stormy weather.
Through the kindness of the consignees of the
Helen we are favoured with files of Charleston
papers, the latest dates being to Nov. 2. Although
the papers are considerably diminished in size, yet
they contain war and other news of the very latest
dates from the North and Europe. The papers are
well advertised, and contain numerous patriotic
call upon the people of the South for volunteers,
and judging from the rejoinders these calls are well
responded to.
The following description of the departure of the
Confederate Ministers, Slidell and Mason, from
Charleston, is from the Charleston Mercury of Oct.
31:—

fatuation. Just before the war broke out with the
Southern States they affected to make so light of
hostilities with the Confederates as to say, that it
would matter little to them if they were to have on
hand, at the same time, six or seven other wars,

The Commissioners having resolved to make the
venture of running the blockade of Charleston, after
mature consideration, selected for the experiment
the stanch and swift little steamer Theodora.

The preparations having been completed, they
embarked a little before midnight on Friday, Oct.
11. The party of passengers who were starting on
this very unusual and somewhat hazardous trip
consisted of the following persons :—Hon. J. M.
Mason, of Virginia; Mr. M'Farland (secretary to
Mr. Mason), Hon. John Slidell, of Louisiana, Mrs.
Slidell, Miss Mathilde Slidell, Miss Rosine Slidell,
Mr. Eustace (secretary to Mr. Slidell), Mrs. Eustace
who is a daughter of Mr. Corcoran, the Washington
banker, now a prisoner in Fort Lafayette, Col. Le
Mat, of Louisiana, and several other gentlemen.
The night was pitch dark, and about midnight a

" including one with the Britishers." More than
six months have passed away since then, and so far
these intolerably vain people have found their one
war with the Southern States quite sufficient to
afford full scope to their gallantry and their mili-
tary skill. It will be time enough for them to
boast of "licking the Britishers" when they have
" whipped" the Confederates.
If in this country and in Europe little sympathy
was felt for the Federalists before, there will be still
less now. No matter, as we have already remarked,
whether they be right or wreng as regards inter-
national law, there was something so gratuitous
and deliberate in the insult thus offered to the
British flag, and something so surpassingly auda-

light rain began falling, which rendered the chances
of being detected by the blockade exceedingly slight.
At 1 o'clock on Saturday morning the cables of the
Theodora were loosened, and she glided down the
harbour on her important mission. As the steamer
passed Fort Sumter every light was extinguished,
and away she went right through the fingers of the
blockaders far out to sea.

On the evening of the 11th she reached Nassau in
safety, where, had the opportunity been a favourable
one, the commissioners would have disembarked,
but on inquiring they ascertained that the English
steamer connected with the point, touched at New
York.

However gratifying a sight of New York might
have been under other circumstances, the Commis-
sioners determined in this instance to forego the
pleasure. So the Theodora left Nassau, and
steamed away towards Cuba. On the 16th inst.
she arrived at Cardinas, where the Commissioners
landed. The news that a Southern steamer had

arrived with Messrs. Mason and Slidell on board,
telegraphed from Cardinas to Havana, was
scarcely credited at the latter place. But when
on the 17th instant the Theodora came up the
harbour of Havana, displaying the Confederate

flag, the quays were immediately thronged with
thousands of spectators, and a most cordial and en-
thusiastic reception was given to the adventurous
little craft. The Yankees in Havana, as a matter
of course, were much annoyed at the welcome given
to the Theodora ; but, on the other hand, the ladies
of Havana prepared a splendid Confederate flag for
the steamer, which was presented to the captain
with appropriate ceremonies. The ladies of Ma-
tanzas also took advantage of the chance to send
hither a splendid flag for the Hampton Legion. The
steamship Columbia, formerly a Charleston vessel,
but now in the armed service of the Yankees, was
at the time in the harbour of Havana. Luckily,
however, she was not ready to put to sea. Her
consort, the Keystone State, had gone to New York
with a Southern steamer, loaded with a valuable
freight of arms and munitions, and which, unfortu-
nately, had been captured while endeavouring to
make the ran to Tampa, Florida; so the Theodora
left the friendly port of Havana unmolested, and
with a freight of coffee, sugar, saltpetre, sulphur,
acids, lead, iron, shot, block tin, &c., ran quietly
into -- (we wont say where), bringing a number
of Charlestonians who had reached Havana from
Southampton about the same time the Theodora
made her appearance.

cious in the whole affair,—that their conduct mus.
draw down upon them the indignation of the whole
civilised world. Hereafter they will look in vain
anywhere for sympathy in their conflict with the
Southourn States.
In reading the account of this affair, there is
one feeling which will most certainly be expe-
rienced by every Englishman. We allude to a
feeling of gratitude that Lord Palmerston, with his
characteristic sagacity, foresaw not only the possi-
bility, but the probability that collisions might occur
between the Northern States and ourselves before
the war was over, and that, therefore, he adopted
precautionary measures to meet such a contingency.
He has considerably strengthened our Canadian de-
fences, and made other arrangements, by which we
should be able to repel any aggression which might
be attempted on our North American possessions.
It is a curious coincidence that, on Tuesday we
were enabled to announce, on the best authority,
that Earl Russell had, a few days ago, officially
apprised Mr. Adams, the American Minister in
London, that if the Federal Government stopped
or overhauled any Royal mail steam-packet, the fact
would be considered as an insult to the British flag.
It is a remarkable circumstance that the very day
after we made this important announcement, intel-
ligence should reach this country that the very
contingency here contemplated as possible should
actually have occurred.

THE CASE OF THE NASHVILLE.

Yesterday a letter was addressed from the
Foreign-office by Mr. Layard, under the authority
of Earl Russell, to Messrs. Oliverson, Lavie, and
Peachey, of Frederick's-place, Old Jewry, who
have acted as the solicitors of Capt. Nelson, lately
commanding the ship Harvey Birch, in an applica-
tion which was made in his behalf, first to the Lord
Mayor at the Mansion-house, and then to the local
magistrates at Southampton, for a warrant to search
the steamer Nashville for certain property alleged
to belong to him or the owners of the Harvey Birch.
It will be recollected that on Monday last the
Southampton magistrates declined to interfere in
the way suggested on the part of Capt. Nelson, nn-
