You may be that the seizure Of the rebel Commits
sioners board the Royal Mail Companys takes
precedence Of all other political ncws.
Yesterday at the Bourse-now additionally thronged
in consequence Of tho abolition OF tho customary francs
for admisson-tie excitement the created was
raordnary. The funds slightly declined, Three cents
Ealing thirty ccntimos but the talk omnous OF much
important Bourse operations Not, however that
that there any disposition to consider the seizure Of
Mr. Slidel-he rebel Commissioner to France, tho
pontcd persuasion found necessary to tranquze his
pugnacous daughteras any sort Of aont to France OF
this you may be Observation-Disclosures may be tho ostens
BILE language conduct Of this country there will
be any quarrel with America But very genera,
belief prevailed that the small end of the wedge in
serted in irreparabe breach with England. II is
sonshng the unanimy which appeared this view O
the subject That the present dcaly would be got over
thought probable, especially the English Ministry
would take that any legal doubt the subject the
minds OF its law officers should furnish 1t with loophoe
to escape from the unpleasant position the American go
vernment had imposed It, But that would
later break out between the two people seemed be
looked upon as Axed fact
Such being the general conception, exciting hubbuh
prevailed to what France would be expected to do.
"Dos" said a gentleman, who is well known to bs tho
agent parties about the Court, twhy encourage Eng
land by all means not to put up with American insoence
If England does not wish to- be sneerod and scoed by
every European Power she cannot submit to those Amer
affronts much longer" shall forget the pecu
liar expression OF countenancs with which this remark
received by the knot Of influential parties whom it
addressed. ~Yes said one, some time after when
the speaker had passed away, eve all understand this
France will carefully fan the farne-perhaps take
hand in II for tme-ony the better to hold her own
afterwards with England and America would be
tho most vauab e boon to France and the very day IL
commenced would be tho signal Of the fall OF British
supremacy Let England only waste her strength in
another struggle with her ancient colonies, and France
will Immediately take place in the world such as she
has not occupied since 10 lays Of charlemagne."
In the evening dropped into than one recepto
where was sure to meet with various members Of the
different diplomatic missions. Parties connected with
the English Embassy observed Of all observers
Every one was anxious to hear their viows but these
gentlemen bad evidently been enolncd to more than ord
nary caution It whispered about that before the
seizure in question tho opinion of the law officers Of the
Crown had been taken by Lord palnerstoa aud that
,hc Cabinet Council only summoned to decide on
the language Earl Russell should hold to Mr. Seward as
the law was entirely on the side Of the United States
authorities remarked that nothing could exceed tho
appar ent sympathy exhibited by persons connected with
the French Foreign oco towards the English side OF the
question: while at the same tino said that Great
Britain would doubtless exercise all tho maraumty of
which she had previously given so many p.Dofs. There
was evidently laent irony III mUch al ths also
