always gained by ii, yet they were constantly
prepared and completed BY it. After the battle,
like true officer. his attention was especially
directed to his cavalry. When he conquered
Faminius, he bestowed the utmost care on the
preservation Of the horses which had borne bic
warriors through the battle, had them washed

his cavalry only. POybius says emphatically that
the Carthagnians owed not only the victory of
Gamma, but all their more early triumphs, to
the preponderance Of their cavalry.
Hannibal's personal oversight of the condition
OF his horses was one of the causes of his great
ness as general; for no commander can be o
great one who does not bring down bis mind to
things apparently small. On the day of battle,
as the cavalry should never be spared 30 the
greatest attention must be paid in order that it
may appear effective when the crisis comes.
This can only DO secured by keeping up the con-
dition Of the horses; for the difference between
horses and men 10 essential, there being no such
thing as working on the moral feelings Of
horse, neither is his good will to be taken into
account. The soldier may be animated by stir.
ring words, and by tlattering his sense Of honor,
he may be melted to new deeds and new exer.
tiona. Not so the horse. Cavalry exhausted by
unusual exertions, requires months to recover.
Horses have doubtless stronger constitutions than
men, but extraordinary efforts have their limits,

Letter of Lord LyOns--RepIy of Sc
cretary Seward.

> W
The subioined correspondence between Lord
Lyons, the British minister at Washington,
and Mr.. Seward, Secretary of State, touching
the military arrest of two British subjects on
the ground of their alleged completely in the
existing war, is published in the Washington
papers of Saturday last:
LORD LYONS TO MR.. SEWARD.
WASHINGTON October IA, 1861.
Sir: Her Maiesty's government were much
concerned to find that two British subjects
Mr.. Patrick and Mr.. Raining, had been sub
iected to arbitrary arrest; and although they
had learnt from n teegraphc dispatch from
me that Mr.. Patrick had been released they
could not but regard The matter as one re-
quiring their very serious consideration.
Her Maiestv's government perceive that
when British subjects as well as American
citizens are arrested they are Immediately
military authorities refuse to pay obedience to
n writ of haOeas corpus.
Her Maiesty's government conceive that this
practice is directly opposed to the maxim of
the constitution of the United States 'tbatno
person shall be deprived of life, liberty or pro-
perty without due process of law
Her Majesty government are willing, how
ever, to make every allowance for the hard
necessities of a time of internal trouble; and
they would not have been surprised il the or
binary securities of personal liberty had been
temporarily suspended, nor would they have
complained if British subjects falling under
suspicion had suffered from the consequences
of that suspension.
But it does not appear that Congress has
sanctioned in this respect any departure from
the due course Of law and it is in these cir
cumstances that the law officers of the crown
have advised her majesty government that
the arbitrary arrests of British subjects arc
Illegal.
So far as appears to her majesty's govern
ment, the Secretary of State of the United
States exercises, upon the reports of spies and
intormers, the power of depriving British sub
jects of their liberty, of retaining them in pri-
son, or liberating them, by his own will and
pleasure.
Her Majesty government cannot but regard
this despotc and arbitrary power as inconsis-
tent with the constitution of the United States,
! rs at variance with the treaties of amity sub
sisting between the two nations, aud as tend
ing to prevent the resort of British subjects to
the United States for purposes Of trade and
industry
Her Majesiy's government have therefore felt
bound to instruct me to demonstrate against
such irregular proceedings, and to say that, in
their opinion, the authority of Congress is ne
cessary in order to justify the arbitrary arrest
and Imprisonment of British subjects.
have the honor to be, sir with the highest
| consideration, your most obcdient, humble
servant, LYONS.
