The full correspondence between our Gov
ernment aud the Governments Of Great Britain
and France, respecting the case of Mason and
Slidell, went out to Europe on Saturday even
ing, in the Teutonia, which was detained till
6 p. IN. for that purpose. We may feel as
sured that its receipt on that side w;il dispel
some rOse-hued illusions Of the rebel emissar-
les, so abundant in the Western capitals, and
diffuse feeling of relief and qualification
among our loyal countrymel ross the water.
Those who have been buggh, the deluson that
our rulers meditated a war with England
a. an excuse for backing out Of their contest
with the Southern rebels, will probably be dis
abused, if not somewhat ashamed. And if
Great Britan-which we do not credt--is de-
termined to interpose in behalf of the rebels
any hoe, she will probably delay but little
longer as their condition is known to be very
desperate.

W.LLIAMspoRT, Dec 2O.-Aharrs in and
around this point are quiet, except the ex-
change of shots with the enemy at Dam
No. S, and at Falling Waters. The rebel
Jackson's battery, at the former place, in
Guiding u twelve pound rihed gun, has
been eudeavoring to destroy the dam,
which now seems to be their principal OBJ
iect His fire is responded to by two Par
rott guns, of Knap's Pennsylvania battery,
and one section of Bests battery.
The design of the rebels at Falling Wa
tiers appears to be to detract attention from
Dam No. s.
The effect of our FIRE has not heen devel-
optd. The enemy's guns have produced
no result.
There is not the least danger of Jackson
attempting to cross the river.
Deserters from the rebels say that Jack
son has been ordered to destroy Dam No.
