THE SITUATION.

Tho arrest of Messrs. Slidel and Mason, the rebel
Commissioners to France and England and their
arrival at Fortress Monroe, forms the most impor-
eant portion Of our news to-day. 1t appears that
the frigate San Jacinto, commanded by Commodore
Wilkes, on her way from the coast of Africa,
stopped at Cienfuegos. and there learned that the
rebel ministers were on board the British
steamer Trent, bound for Southampton, by way Of
st. Thomas, from Havana. Commodore Wilkes at
once decided to intercept her, which he did in
the narrow channel of the Bahama Islands, and
sending Lieutenant Fairfax with boats
crew Of thirty-fvc, on board the Trent, Messrs
Mason and slidell, together with their secreta
rics, Eustis and Mcfarland, were taken priso
hers and brought to Fortress Monroe. The family
Of Mr.. Slidel, who accompanied him, was permit
Ted to proceed to Europe. 1t is said that the
steamer Trent belongs to a private company, and
% merchant vessel employed to carry the British
mails between Vera Cruz, Havana and st. Thomas.
The greatest excitement was manifested in this
city. as well as in Washington, yesterday, upon
the receipt of the news of the arrest of the rebel
commissioners. It was said in Washington that
che rebel ministers were to be sent to Fort War.
ven Boston.
The Navy Department has issued an order thank
ng Captain Dupont for his brilliant services in the
capture Of Port Royal, in which, no doubt, the
entire North will join.
The panic in Savannah, consequent upon the
success Of our naval expedition at Beaufort is said
30 DO terrific. The desertion of the city was so
Iapid and extensive, that the papers were calling
upon the authorities to arrest the fight of able
bodied men under sixty years of age. Great con-
oternation is said to exist all along the Southern
BOAST. The people are represented as fleeing from

course is very unlikely. despatch to the Rich

Tho reports from General Rosecrans in Western
virginia are very cheering. They state that General
Cox's brigade crossed the Kanawha and New
rivers on the 10th inst. and drove the rebels
back three miles from all their positions. General
Benham also had skirmish with the rebels, and
after compelling them to retreat, he followed them
Tor twenty-five miles, and failing to come up with
them, he fell back. Colonel Grogan, of the rebel
cavalry, and few others were killed. General
Benham lost only two men in the engagement
We learn by way of Cincinnati that the rebe,
0eneralS.A. Johnston, with large force of 40 900

troops have been ordered to concentrate imme.
