The PRISONERS AT Fort WARREN.-The
Boston TrovelLer says:
The prisoners unite in speaking we'll of Colo
mel DimmioR, whom they describe as a soldier
and a gentleman. They also speak well of
Lieutenant Beal, the officer having especial
charge of the prisoners, and of tho 9lReerS of
Garrison. The quarters are in every respect
better than those of Fort Lafayette, and the
facilities for obtaining articles they desired to
purchase have been satisfactory.
Prisoners are generally apt to be little cross
for the first day or TWO after their arrival, but
this wears of, as they find that their cOmpan-
ions are cheerful. Most of them find acquaint-
apces among the prisoners. Parker H French
found several friends, and made himself at
home from the first, evidently well pleased with
being in such good society.

96AeT The New Orleans Picdyine, in its issue
of the 17th of November, has an article upon
Great Britain and the Southern blockade. 1t
says:
"The effectiveness or not Of blockade being
q question Of many facts, and the course to be
taken question with aspects of varying expe-
diency, the determination Of q government
would take the form Of deliberate national
act 1t would be very unusual, even if the de
termination should be reached that the block
ade is unlawful, for one government to take
measure for what in fact constitutes war against
another government with which its relations
are those Of amity, without diplomatic G;tem pit
to avoid the necessity of rupture. The re-
moval of unlawful distractions from commercs
would be first requested, and even in the event
that such request should be refused, formal
notice world uDquestionably be given of The
of DatioDs would be observed in all their strict
ness before the making up of so very grave an
j. sue as the disregard through all its length OF
a blockade of three thousand miles of coa9t,
supported by an array of armed vessels which
may not be numerous enough to close all the
ports completely, but are formidable enough to
make the undertaking to encounter them a Sc
Iious ua'ional question.
"Tbls is all recognized in the communication
of the British Secretary to the cotton shippers
The governms Mt will not disregard an 'effsc-
tive blockade, nor authorize others to disrs-
gard any blockade at their discretion. He
carefully reserves the question whether this one
is effective and what the government will do
If it be decided not 70 do so.'

FIVE MEN DRowNED-Boat Vs Father.-
Five men, one colored, were drowned in
Hudson River, while attempting to cross
from Yonkers ON Saturday night, November
%. Next day son of the drowned colored
man, seemingly utterly regardless of the fate
of his lost parent, went from place to place,
apparently looking for something. On be-
ing questioned, as TO why he did not pay
more attention to the remains of his parent,
he remarked: 81 kar's nothing for de old

WASHINGTON, december 4, 81.
THE SECRETARY OF TREAsURYs REPORT.
1t is understood by financial people that
the forthcoming report of the Secretary of
the Treasury will present the banking sys-
TEN, the paper money system, and the Gov
ernment policy in respect to them in a light
that will fasten the attention of the country
upon it. The claim of the Government to
supply the circulating medium of all kiuds
will be presented, impressively, on the ground
of both principle and expediency, aud on
constitutional right and financial necessity.
No report from that or any other Depart
ment of the Government in the last half GEN.
tury has been more cautiously and earnestly
elaborated.
INTERVIEW AT SECRETARY oAMERoN's.
Secretary Cameron's house was tn scene
of an interesting interview tonight. Having
entertained Mr., Russell, Of the London
Times, with few friends, at dinner, Con-
gIessional deputation, at the head of which
was Vice President Hamlin, was introduced.
The Secretary was congratulated on his
position upon the slave question. Mr. Russell
probably learned in these few moments more
of the real sentiment of the country than he
ever knew before.
THE POSITION OF ENGLAND.
EThere is the highest authority for the as
sertion that were England conscious that the
North is in earnest, and does not intend to
sustain, with the lives of her sons, the slave
in stitution of the South, Her Majesty's Gov.
eminent would evince an unmistakable at
tachment to our cause; but she is induced to
think the contrary, aud probably will brstle
at the Mason and Slidell case, which other
wise would excite no comment

have already been informed from London

fact is of the highest Importance in connection

does, ulteri7r designs on the part of those SOW.
ereigps, We may state here that we have as
surances, derived from trustworthy sources in
Madrid, that such paper has been already
drafted and ratified. This article provides
that Spain shall march troops-as we know al
ready she is determined to do-into Mexico,
and take possession Of the territory of the re-
public to as great an extent as possible; that
Napoleon shall guarantee her this possession
against England and the United States, should
either or both of these Powers object to it;
and that for this aid Spain shall csde TO France
her provincial possession of the Balearic
Islands, in the Mediterranean.
The Spanish Provinces of the B1Ledric Islands
The Balearics form group of five islands iu

the contrary, by the Agent of Fairbanks Scales,

impression made by some interested party. or from
disposition on his part to ir1ure the reputation OF

the whole thing is a fabrication, as the Scales thus
