Tho case Of the NASHVILLE.


b the arrival Of the Africa at New Y0k
We have full particulars Of the steamer
Nashville affair, which was briefly referred
to By telegraph. The circumstances of the
cass are these The rebel steamer Nashville
sl left Charleston on the night of the 25th of
sls-ar October, running the blockade. She pro
eesded to Burmuda where she was allowed
sll possible privileges, the commander and
officers being treated with all kindness and
attention BY the Britiah army and navy Of
hcsn there stationed, and every facility at-
fordsd for getting coal and other mpplies.-
a- The Nashville sailed from Burmuda upon
the 5th of November and on the 18th fell in
With the American ship Harvey Birch Capt
Nelson, bound from Havre to New York,
and having the American flag flying. A
shot vas fred from the Nashville to bring
her to, and the order given to haul down
the United States flag, which was DONE
Capt. Nelson was then ordered to 90 on board
the Nashville with his crew. which being
-L done, the Harvey Birch was set on Ere and
sntirely destroyed. Capt Nelson and mate
vera allowed the freedom OF the ship, but
the crew were put in irons, and in that con-
ditOn carried to southampton, England,
aler where the Nashville arrived on the 2lst-
The osth not to bear arms sgainst the Con-
fedsrate States was offered to the men, but
they would not take it. At Southampton
the prisoners were set free but were not put
ere on shore, they being obliged to charter tug
boat to convey them from the steamer to
the dock. They waited upon the American
consul and Capt Nelson afterwards went up
70 London to see Minister Adams.
Capt Pegram, of the Nashville, made no
defanra ofh his oo,5rck ov,a,. ,,,,,. ~, -

ment and the Northern States. He put his

an English port after having captured and
Gta dsstroyeda valuable prize belonging to
power friendly to England, is exciting
great deal Of comment and our minister in
London is very properly moving in the mat
tel. Capt Pegram holds a commission
from the rebel government upon the
strength Of which he claims immunity from
Interference in England. Upon landing, be
went up to London to consult with the
rebel Yancey That allowing the Nashville
to thus enter English port, with the
aVOWsd purpose Of fitting out as a war ves-
sci against the United States, is in violation
q English neutrality, even the English pa
psH cannot conceal They attempt to iusti-

they are bOlstering up a bad cause Thip
however, may have an important bearing

affair is one Of which our Government has
cause of complaint and it is highly proba-
bic that if England desired to make
trouble out!of the Trent affair, she will be

Upon lhe assumption Of th6se being the

lieved, not made and proceeded on without
inquiry and consideraiion-the British war
steamer Phaeton was ordered 70 watch the
American, and to protect against her any
vessel bearing the British flag. As Il hap
pened, the American captain, perhaps At
tracted by hospitalities after stormy voyage
remained in port soma days, and then, put
ting to sea, wss met by a severe gale on the
south coast, which forced him 70 anchor at
CalshOt. The same cause that stopped his
cruise expedited the voyage OF the mail
steamer, which arrived two days before her
time, and passed into her port unconscious
OF her danger. Communications then took
place between our government and the
American Minister, In which the latter dis
claimed any such intention as that imputed
TO the proceedings Of the United States
steamer-or rather, be disclaimed any
knowledge Of the matter.
At the same time il was ascertained 10 be
the opinion Of the law officers Of the Grown
that, according to the Interpretation of the
law, as laid down in former decisions, the re-
latiOns Of Britain to the American beliger-

been fair legal grounds for the American
cruiser seizing the mail steamer as a prize,
even in British waters, il it could have been
shown that she knowingly harbored the per-
sons and property of the enemies of the
United States, In the shape OF the delegates
and their dispatches.
The United States steamer has now de-
parted but il supposed to be cruising off the
Irish coast for purposes similar to those
which brought her to Southampton.
It cannot be necessary to point out the
wanton ofensiveness and danger of the course
understood to have been adopted in this and
perhaps similar cases by the United States
Government. That government is entitled
to do all in It's power TO prevent egress or in
gress tits own ports, and the ports of the
Confederates; but to leave these not hal
guarded, and come across to British waters
on rowing commission to seize a British
mail steamer which had taken on board at
British port two American passengers and
their portmantesus, is an act easy to be un,
derstood and not easy to be endured. It in.
dicates a desire not so much to prevent tht
movements Of American ''rebels" as TO in
suit and provoke the government and people
of this country.

The mason and slIdeIr Case.

WePublish elsewhere a singular article
IRON the EdinbuFg Scotsman of Nov. 2lst
which is singular in that it gives us fore
knowledge of the probable decision Of the
English Grown officers upon the Mason and
Slidell arrest Itseems that when the United
States steamer James Adger was at South
ampton, il was reported that she was there
TOR the purpose Of capturing Mason and Sill
dell from an English mail steamer, upon
which they were reported to have taken
passage from Cubs. It being reported that
the James Adger had the above design
in view, correspondence ensued between
our Minister Adams and the British Crown
officers, in which Mr.. Adams disclaimed any
such intention upon the part of the United
States as that imputed to the steamer or
rather he discIaimed any knowledge of the
matter.
In the course Of this correspondence it
was ascsrtained to be the opinion of the
British Law officers that 'faceOrding to the IN

Notwithstanding the war monopolizing
