erll papers Of late dates, from which we make
the following extracts:
\ The Cincinnati Commercial, of the lStl
inst, contains accounts of the stampede O
the Federal expedition against Cumberland
Gap. The account says that the stampede
was worse than that at Bull Run, and was the
result of Gen. Hardcc's expedition from Sowl
ing Green, which, it is reported, was adyan,
cling with 100000 men. The Commercial
in referring to this retreat, says: I" We have
no heart for comment upon such imbecility.'
a special dispatch to the New York Her,
aid, dated Washington, Nov IS, says: "Ihere
is an increasing confidence in the entire cor
rectness Of Capt. Wilkes act of taking Sill
dell and Mason. | am informed that Secre-
tary Chase has expressed his regret that Capt
Wilkes did not also seize the British vessel"
a special dispatch to the Cincinnati Ga.
zettc dated Washington, Nov. IL, says that
all are delighted with the seizure of Messrs.
Mason, Slidell, Eustice, and Mcfarland, ex-

manded his passports.
a special dispatch to the Louisville Jour.
nal, dated at Washington, Nov. 10Th, says
that although there appears to be plenty OF
law to sustain Com. Wilkes, Lord Lyons is
very noisy, and while being compelled, as
yet, to remain officially silent, is unoficially
impudent in all of his conversations, he as
sumcs that there will be no question between
his Government and the Federal Government,
because the latter will apologize to the for
mer, and will return Messrs. Mason and Sir
dell. Many diplomatists, including some
friendly to the Federal Government, express
the opinion, unreservcdly, that there will be
war with England.
