and the forcible taking from her of Slidell and
Mason, are fully justified here by oil who have
made international law a study. The case is
strengthened By the recognition which England
has so persistently given to the right of mari.
time search. She has never abandoned thl;
right, but has always claimed it. Commander
Wilkes is regarded here as having exercised
his lawful privilege with hasty prudence OF
an excessive leniency. The Trent was herself
liable to capture, and the British Government
would have found it difficult to establish q
claim in behalf of her owners, after having
justified and sustained Mcleod for cutting the
steamer Caroline out of an American port, and
sent her over Niagara Falls. The Caroline
had carried troops to invade British territory.
The Trent was carrying ambassadors to negO-
tate for an invasion of American territory.
When the Rebel emlssares reached the deck
of the San Jacinto, Mr.. Mason, having added
TO ordinary +. f. VS. stock Of knowledge,
while Chairman Of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, saluted Captain Wilkes, but Mr. Sill
dell passed on without noticing him. /" de-
sire you to observe, Sir, that Pm Captain of
this ship" remarked Captain Wilkes. The
hero of Plaquemine saluted. Messrs. Mason,
Sidell, Eustis, and mcfarland are TO be sent
to Fort Warren. Orders were dispatched to
Fort Monroe for the San JacintO to proceed
direct to Boston, but she had probably sailed
before they arrived for NewYork.
