PORTLAND, Dec. 18.
The steamer Jura from Liverpool, af-
ternoon of the 9Th, and Londonderry 9Th,
arrived here this morning.
The excitement relative the Trent af-
fair continued undated. The stock
market on the 4th was more heavy and
unsettled than ever. The U. s. Consul
at Paris had communicated to the French
papers a letter from Gen. Scott, in which
he declares there is no truth in the report
that the Cabinet had ordered the seizure
ofthe Southern Commissioners. even under
the protection of neutral flag. He is
quite ignorant of the decision of his Gov
eminent, but says it is necessary to pre-
serve good relations between America
and England, and he hopes both Govern
ment will agree upon solution of the
question, whether the prisoners were con-
traband or not. If they were agents of
| the rebels, he says it will be difficult to
convince even the impartial minds, they
| were less contraband of war, than rebel
soldiers or cannon. In conclusion Gen.
Scott expressed the conviction that war
between America and England, without
more serious provocation than is at pres
! ent given, IS Impossible.
The London Star thinks Gen. SCOTS
letter will receive hearty response in
England, as a message of peace.
| The Times says that Gen. Scott, like
his countrymen, is rather inclined to
disavow the conception of the outrage
than to repudiate it.
| It is rep rted that rebel and federal
privateers are cruising at the entrance of
the English channel.
| It is said the Admiralty has ordered
two ships to proceed Immediately to the
West Indies, to act as conveys to mail
steamers.
| The Paris correspondent of the Daily
Netcs states that SGdelPs dispatches were
entrusted to his wife as he was leaving
the Trent.
| The Paris Patrie learns that the San
Jacinto, in November, searched French,
Danish and Portugu csc vessel. These
facts, SAYS the PatTge, are of some i'm
portance as proving that the Washington
Cabinet fancies it has the power to tx
ercise the right of search to the fullest
extent.
Speculations from France represent the
predominant tone of feeling as favorable
to a reconciliation between England and
America.
1t is reported that the French Minister
at Washington reported to his Govern
ment a refusal on the part of the Wash
ington Cabinet to deliver up dispatches
addressed from Paris to the French Con-
suls at Charleston and New Orleans.
Hostile demonstrations were made in
various parts of England, ON the occasion
of the departure of an Armstrong battery
thence for shipment to Canada.
