the persons of the Southern - .sooa " on0
British Government. Yesterday aIv.-
after Eve o'clock, Her Majesty held O privy

Ministers, including the FIRST Lsrd of the Ad-
miralty and the Secretaries Of State and War,
Travelled from London TO WindsOr, By special
the three Ministers had attended q Cabinet
Council at Lord PalmeTstoh's official residences.
The ObserDer also says that special mss
sengsr Of the Foreign office has been ordered
to carry to Washington the dem snds Of the
British Government for Lord Lyons, and will
prooeed to. dsy, by packet, from QdeenstO xn.
The public will be satisfied to know that these
demands are for an apology, and to insist on
those who were violently and Illegally torn
from that sacred asylum.
The Obseruer adds: "There is no reason why
they should not be restored to toe gu lrtsr deck
Of the British admiral at New York, or Wash

men of war, whose presence in the Potoms,
would render the clustering Cabinet at Wash

for the Canadian military, and strong rein
forcement OF field artillery will be dispatched

The Tmes' city article, of the 3Otb, says the
position Of the Federal States of America is
almost identical, in every commercial point,
with that which was occupied toward US by
Russia before the Crimean War. Russia had a
hostile tariff while we looked to her for large
portion of our general supply Of bresdstuffs,
but there is this popularity in present case,
that the commencement would be by tho break
ing of the blockade of the Southern ports, at
once setting free our industry from the anx-
iety Of a cotton famine, and giving sure pra,.
perity to Lancashire through the winter, at the
