ANOTHER AISR ISREPBESExTATIoN.--Let from
Europe say that DR.. Russell, OF the London
Times writes, ssthat the Administration is
becoming disposed to accept foreign medita-
tion with view to compromise with the
South on basis of a separation. 1t is ditfi-
cult to conceive how Mr.. Russell should have
been deceived into the adoption of such an
idea. Neither the Administration nor any
one connected with it would ever accept such
mediation from any quarter, or peace on
any basis but the complete subm ission of the
States in revolt to the authority of the United
States.
Shocking MURDER.-On the 10th, while the
Cd Mary land regiment was drawn up for dress
parade in Baltimore, private named Charles
Koons came from his tent picked up 10 usket,
took deliberate aim at Lieut.. Wilson fired,
and killed him on the spot. The deed was an
act of revenge, Lieut. Wilson having shot a
friend of Rooms some time previous in an
attempt to run the pickets. Koans was taken
to Fort McHenry.
SEDALIA.-A scouting expedition, composed
of part of MerrelPs horse and two companies
of regular cavalry, who went as far as Waverly,
have returned and brought as prisoners cap
tains, 2 Ieutenants and 40 rebel privates
They also captured one mortar and a large
number of ho&es and wagons. The man who
hauled down the American flag after Col. Null
ligan's surrender, has been arrested at Sedalia
as a spy.
MAJ SLEMMER-A letter from Huttopsville,
Western Virginia, says 81 am sorry to state
that Maj. Slemmsr, of Fort Pickens' fame, is
not expected to live. He came here to in
spect the troops, but was attacked with the
camp fever and dissontery-which nearly all
of us have had-and is now lying in preca-
rous condition. His wife is here with him
The doctor thinks he cannot live.''
RETIRING -LIsr.-On Thursday the 18th a
bill was introduced into the Senate TO pro-
mote the efficiency OF the Navy. 1t provides
for the retirement of officers who have been
on the register forty five years, and authorizes
the President to select officer from the
grade of captain or commander, and assign
him to the command of a squadron, with the
rank of flag officer.
THE UNION PRIsoNERs.-A letter from Col.
Lee dated at r Richmond, says the cell in which
he and the other hostages are confined is
small and damp apartment with cold air draw
ing through continually. They have to pro-
vide their own beds, the rebels allowing only
two coyerids to each bed. They are forbid
den visitors and all communication with other
prisoners.
ARKANsAs.-Late news from Arkansas says
that the northern part OF the State is loyal,
and that love of the old flag-the cmblems of
united country-yet glows and bur ms in
thousands of patriotic breasts.

Important News from England.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The Observer stated that
the Government has demanded from President
Lincoln and his Cabinet the restoration of the
persons of the southern ENJOYS to the British
Government.
Yesterday afternoon, after 5 O'Clock p. M,
her Majesty held a private council at Windsor
Castle. Three of her Ministers, including the
first Lord of the Admiralty and the Secretaries
of State and War travelled from London to
Windsor hy special tram to be present Pre-
vious TO leaving town the three ministers had
ston's official residence.
The Obserper also says that a special mes
senger OF the foreign office has been ordered
to carry to Washington the demands of the
British Government for Lord Lyons and will
proceed to day by packet from Queenstown.
The public will be satisfied to know that these
demands are for an apology and to insist on
the restitution to the protection to the British
flag the persons of those who were violently
and illegally torn from that sacred asylum.
The Observer adds there is no reason why
they should not be restored to the quarter
deck of the British Admiral at New York, or
Washington itself in the face of some ten or
twelve men of war, whose presence in the Po-
tomac would render the clustering Cabinet at
Washington as helpless as the Trent was be-
fore the guns and cutasses of the San Jacinto.
1t is no fault OF ours if it should come even
to this.
The arrangements for increasing the force
in Canada are not yet complete, but in very
few hours everything will be settled. In the
meantime large ship, the Melbourne, has
been taken up and is now being loaded with
Armstrong guns, some $4,000 Enfield rifles,
ammunition, and other stores at Woolwich.
1t Is not impossible that this vessel will be e.
scorted by one or two ships of war. The rifles
are intended for the Canadian military, and a
strong reinforcement of field artillery will be
dispatched forthwith.
The Timer city article of the Both, says the
position of the Federal States of America, is
almost Identical in every commercial point
with that which was occupied towards us by
Russia before the Crimea war. Russia had a
hostile tariff while We looked to her for a large
portion Of our general supply of breadstuffs ;
but there is this popularity in our present
case, that the commencement would be by the
breaking up of the blockade of the southern
ports at once setting free our industry from
the anxiety of the cotton famine and giving
sure prosperity to Lancashire through the
winter. At the same time we shall open our
trade to eight millions in the confederate
States, who desire nothing better than to be
our customers.
The London Times in alluding to the decis-
ion of the British Cabinet, that the arrest of
Mason and Slidell is clear violation of the
law Of nations, be ieves that Lord Lyons will
oe instructed by the first steamer to demand
reparation, and if not complied with, will be
instructed to withdraw the legation from
Washington.

FOREIGN NATIONS AND THE WAR.-The doc
ments from the State Departments. submitted
to Congress, disclosed the important fact that
our Government now occupies the same posi-
tion that it held in reference to foreign Gov
ernments at the beginning of the rebellion,
and that though the United States early offered
to accept the Paris declaration in reference to
privateering, both England and France desired
to make an exception in favor of tho JEFF Da-
Wis Confederacy, to which the Government
has refused to yield, leaving the United States
free from any obligation to accept the Paris
declaration, while the few rebel privateers are
now fugatives on the high seas, or are lying
idle in Southern harbors.

LETTERS OF MARoUE.-A telegraphic dis
patch fl iom New York, states that the Mexi-
can government is issuing letters of marque,
and that several are now held by parties in
that city. These letters grant the privilege
OF preying upon the commerce of England,
France and Spain, which governments are
about inaugurating war upon the Mexicans.
Several vessels are said to be fitting out at the
port of New York to sail under the Mexican
flag, with the privilege of bringing prizes into
neutral ports. This act is justified in view of
the decision Of the British Government, which
allows the pirate Nashville to fit out at South
ampton for the avowed purpose of preying up
on tho commerce of American citizens.
