Tho Times City Article says: "Th1 mi
yersal impression seems to be that the present.
unhappy position in the eyes OF the world that
tho United Status Government can scarcely

and that although this opens e wide field
OF danger, it should also stimulate all other ma.
tons to exercise the utmost forbearancs."

possibility, but . remote one, that the Nation.
81 Government may disa7ow the acts Of Capt.

personal communication with tho Government
during the last few days.
The Times of the 2sth says the dispositions
of the officers OF the Trent have been submitted
to the law officers Of the Crown, and their
opinion he's been given that tho proceedings
of the American f:igate are not justified by the
law of ~uatiob.;. II is, We Understand, the
opinion OF lacse .~jurisis that the right Of the
Federal Government. acting by It's officers, WAS
confined to the visiting and the searching Of
the mai! packet; that if any men or things DO:
lieved to DO contraband Of war had been found
on board of her, the proper course was to take
her into port and submit the question to the
Prize Court, which would hear evidence and
argument on both sides, and would have de-
cided the case according to precedent and au-
thoritie5. The Times observes that this pro-
position seems so clear that it requires only
to be stated 10 obtain universal assent. The
Cabinet meets on Friday, to consider what
action shall be taken On the opinion Of The law
officers. We DO not wish to Speculate as 10
wha. steps thcs may consider necessary. If
Mason and Siidoll wero wrongly taken, thoy
