Washington, Dec. &c.

Washington, Dec. 70.
The Cabinet at Washington had long
consultation yesterday on the affair of the
arrest OF Mason and Slidcll. Although
the proceedings are necessarily withheld
from the public, we have good reason to
believe that the conviction was become TO
that the belligerent attitude assumed by
the English Government on this ques-
ton, also from the fact that the dispatch
es conveyed by the Trent under the
charge of Mason and Shdel rendered to
Great Britain protectorate over the
Southern States, and if necessary to make
them British colonial possession. It is
stated on high authority that the whole
matter, so far as has been developed, will
be laid before the public in few days
without reservation, although the fn.,l
decision of the Government will be re-
ser, until the arrival of Gen. Scott at
Washington, which will probably be TO-
