From WASHINGTON,

WA5AA0IOhi OoU. TO-
HerelPs Special:
The President has received no official
information from England relative to the
Mason and Slden affair.
The Cabinet has been in session for sew
ersl hours to-day, during which our diff.
Guilty with Englsnd vas discussed with
great ealmness and frmness. Whatever
the de mands from England may be, and the
English newspaper bluster is not taken as
any tlTe Indication Of the intention of that
government, our Government has resolved
that Mason and slidell shall never be
given up. This may be relied upon as q
fixed fact.
Toe impression is that England would
make demand for the release Of the reb-
els seized, but th st lengthy correspond
ence would settle the matter without 8
war.
a pf0mfhBht Euu nHuentiRl citizen Of
Maryland, who has recently been in Rich
mond, reports that tho Union sentiment in
Eastern Virginia is rapidly increasing.
He says that If Cong ress does not !egis
late unfavorably on 'the Slavery question,
that portion Of VirgI mia is safe for the
Union.
The ruP.ors Of g messenger arriving
post haste with dispa .tehes for Lord Lyons,
are false.
No ultImstum fronl the English Govern
ment i. regard to sSlidell and Mason, is
expected at the begi nning Of diplomatic
oory espOndence.
A man just arrived from Missouri states
that Senator Polk hsA' gone over to the
rebels, and is taking counsel with them 81
Memphis. His treason has long been ia
