TAe report comes from Key West that
Mcsszs. Mason and Sidel, the Confederate
Commissioners to England and Fran ce,
arrived at Cardenas, Cnba, the 10th, on
the steamer Theodore, from Charleston.
This is altogether more pro bable than the
first story Of their sailing under flying
colors in the Nashville, and we see no
reason to dishelievc it. They are now On
neutral soil, aad may sail to England at
their leisure under the protection Of q
neutral flag. But what will the three fast
steamers do, That were sent out to over
haul tie Nashville? We more than sus--
pect that the Nashville story, which
strangely enough the Confederates wcre
anxious we should get at the earliest mo.
ment, was blind to throw our Govern.
ment off the scent. Indeed, it seemed
singular, at the lime, that vessel Of the
draft Of the Nashville, could pick her way
out Of Charleston harbor so quietly much
more that she should undertake trans
Atlantic voyage. The Confederate Com
mlEsioners are now turned loose upon the
world It remains to be seen what they
will do.

Her Majesiy's Government will exercise
that right.
But Her Msjesty's Government cannot
think it Wise to interfere in the iEternal gov

G protecting force thrown into Mexico for the

fcr the purpose.
am sorry to say that think very large

COL. BAKERS REGIMENT.

The Federal loss in the action of Ed
wards's Ferry, where Senator Baker fell
while gallantly leadinghis regiment, was
much heavier than: the first. dispatches led
us to suppose. The regiment which he
commanded was made up chiefly Of rc-
turned Cal;fornians residing in Phi1adel-
phia It was nearly destroyed in the at
tack, being assai1ed BY 5000 rebels. The
regiment took into action C60 men and
brought back only 1874. There were killed
80, wounded 125, drowned in the retreat
across the river 21, taken prisoner 800
total, 49G. This is screre blow.
II is stated that Col. Baker was killed
