| HALIFAX. Dec. 15.-The Europa from Liv-
erpool the Both, via Queenstown I'd, being de-
tained twelve hours at Queenstown, arrived
here to-day. Speculations on the San Jacin-
TO affair are rife, out generally believed there
is less cause to fear rupture between the gov
ernments.
v'is rumored that the cabinet were modify
ing their instructions to Lord Lyons, which
accounts for the Europas detention at Queens
| town.
A privy council was held at Windsor on
Saturday. The Observer, ministerial jour
nal, states that special messenger by the En-
ropa, carries demand of the British Govern
ment TO Lord Lyons, insisting on apology and
restoration to the British flag of Mason and
Slidell. The same paper says, large REINFORCE
Inents are to be sent Immediately to CaHada.--
a large ship is loading with guns and ammu-
milton for there.
The Observer says there is no reason why
the Commissioners should not be restored to
the ship of an Admiral in the face of ten or
twelve British men-of-war on the Potomac.
Nearly all the papers treat the question in
the same spirit. The agitation increases

QUEENSTOWN, Dec. 2.-1he Times city ar
ticle of Nov Both, says the fall Of Consols 2
per cent, and 4 to 5 in shares. while the ques-
tion of actual war undecided, is not justified by
the nature of affairs at the commencement OF
the Rus ian war and says the position of the
Federal Government is almost Identical, in ev-
cry commercial point, with that occupied by
Russia towards us.
The privy council held by the Queen was
to issue an order prohibiting the export from
United Kingdom, o. carrying coast-wise, of
gun-powder, salt petre, nitrate of soda and
birthstone. +......sr
The London Times understands the Dispatch
es to Lyons, though couched in the frmest lam
guage, presumes the Federal Government will
not refuse to make an honorable reparation Tor
an illegal act. ...
The Times has but small hope of such disc
vowal, and says it becomes US to prepare for
an unfortunate issue in Canada in case of war
with the Northern State. 1t adverts to Sew
ards recent Instructions to the people near the
Canadian frontiers, the only inference was that
he was about to force quarrel with England
The Times advises Canada to prepare al
once, by discipling her militia, and drilling
volunteer company. .-.s -..-.fr

Russia had hostile tariff, while we looked

hostilities would be by breaking the blockade Of

our customers. The article concludes by say

British Cabinets ultimatum for the delivery OF
the prisoners, and full reparation.

Instructions to Lord Lyons, demanded rcstilu-
ton Of the rebel Commissioners or take bis
departure from Washington, was premature,
and so exaggerated as to be virtually untrue
HALIFAX, Dec 15th.-Thc London Times
says: ..-.r-
/" rhc principle upon which the Government
rests its demand is, that British ship, until
her violation of neutral rights is fully proved,
must be held to be on British ground, as much
as il she were an actual occupant of British
soil. The right of protection to all persons
Jn board is valid as on British Territory
Now no such violation has been proved, or
sought to be proved against the Trent; conse-
luenty the seizures of four persons dragged
rom her decks, was entirely illegal.
6lidell and Mason were at the most civil SER
rants to a hostile power, and were travelling
rom one neutral port to another, in a neutral
-essel. If the Government at Washington de-
,lare them rebels, then the right ofasyum has
'ccn clearly violated. ras-
The Times concludes by adjuring the Gov
and northern people to do justice in
he matter. .--
