PORTLAND, Dec. lS.-The steamer JurA
from Liverpool, afternoon of the 9th, and
Londonderry 9Th, arrived here this morn
ing.
The excitement relative to the Trent affair
continued undated. The stock market on
the 4th was more heavy and unsettled than
ever. The q. S. Consul at Paris had COM
municated to the French papers a letter
from Gen. Scott, in which be declares there
is no truth in the report that the Cabinet
had ordered the seizure of the Southern
Commissioners, even under the protection
of a neutral flag. he is quite ignorant of
the decision of his government. bat says it
is necessary to preserve good relations be-
tween America and England, and he hopes
both governments will agree on q solution
of the question, whether the prisoners, were
contraband or not. If they were agents of
the rebels, be says it will be difficult to con-
vince even the impartial minds, they were
less eontrabsnd of war, than rebel soldiers
or cannon. In conclusion Gen. Scott ex-
pressed the conviction that war between
America and England, with more serious
provocation than is st present given, is i'm
possible.
The London Star thinks Gen SCOTS let
ter will receive hearty response in Eng
land, as message Of peace.
= The Times says that Gen Scott, like his
countrymen, is rather inclined to disavo9
the conception of the outrage than 70 repu-

vateers are cruising at the entrance of the

The Paris Pstrie learns that the San
Jacinto in November searched French,
