tIfa4 rounds into Camp Holt, on the Ken

renee
Gen. Geo. B. Crittcndcn, the new rebel
commanding General of East Tennessee and
East Kentucky, is at Cumberland Gap, in
force, with thirty days rations, and it is
feared that he may advance into Kentucky.
The Union troops at London and Wild
Cat, on the Lexington and Cum

been withdrawn to Somerset, and
Crittenden would find no serious obstacles
TO an advance other than the condition of

ENGLAND AND THE TRENT CASE.
The news By the steamer Africa, which
arrived Oh Sunday morning, singularly
enough covers the ground as to the effect
Of the Mason and Slidell seizure in En-
gland, although she sailed before the intel.
igence Of the arrest was known there,
The decision Of the Law officers, on
what is precisely a case in point, had
however been promulgated. As our read
CTS have already been informed, the United
States steamer james Adger was cruising
in British waters, and with d supposed
mission to do Just what the San Jacinto
did-oyerhau1 the West Indi> mail steamer

Ter was brought before the law officers o1
The Crown. On this supposition, the pur
lose and errand Of the Adger was sus
tanned and Justified, in an opinion copied
into the London Journals, as follows:
1T WAS the opinion Of the law officers Of tht
crown tha5 according to the Interpretation Of the
law as laid down in former decisions the relations
oi Britain to the American belyerents are perhaps
such that there might have been fair legal gEound.
