OF tho exact nature Of the despatch from the English
government am ignorant; but am constrained 70 OK
press the opioon that il that despatch has taken the
form Of peremptory demand it will be met by as per-
optory refusal for in temper and pride we are as un-

absnrdly intensified, can make VS. But deyouty hope
that the inastn mode Of diplomacy will not, either

But events are not precptated If time Is given for

iieved. quite concur with tho New York Tribune in
tho opinion that these rebel emissares not worth
war and, individually, woald not hesitate make large
CONCESSIONS IN feeling, for peace. With England whose
canvas whitons overy ocean and sea, "catching tho
dawnng rays of tho rising and melowed by the depart
