FRANcE.-Paris papers assert that the
dispatches sent by the British Govern nAent
to Lord Lyons, although seonehed in moder-
ate language are Nevertheless inaexible ia
their conclusion, which is the restitution of
tie commissioners. II this is refused, Lord
Lyons is to leave Washington, with all the
members of the Legation. The same jour
nal affrms that the English war vessels
which are now being prepared for sea would
leave for America in The beginning OF jan

The Patri@ publishes the following. un-
der the head Of t'latest Intelligence :"
st is stated that the dispatch addressed
by the British Cabinet TO Lord Lyons to be
communicated to President Lincoln, is based
exclusively upon legal considerations This
decision establishes that the commander OF
the San Jacinto, by acting as be has done,
has committed afagrant breach of maritime
lawsand insulted the English flag. The
only right that officer Wilkes possessed is to
compel the Trent to go to some American
port where the case could have been brought
before the proper authorities in presence of
the English Consul. THAT ifin bis seareh
dispatches had been found, establishing that
Mason and Slideil were dir,.sliy or indirect
ly connected with militia y operations, the
commander would have been justified iu
selling those dispatches an arresting these
ENJOYS, sending in detailed report Of the
transaction, with such notes and 0l-
servations as he Eng lish Consul might see
fit To annex. That these form4ities no.
having been fulfilled, no charge can he es-

principle of right, England acting in a cau-sl

only rspardtion for this grave offence, the
E6eratioss of Mason and ISlldeH, and if she
does not obtain it, Lord Lyons would leave
Washington with all the members of the
Lagation. We are assured that the dispatch is
drawn up with great moderation; that il

This was continued to Warrenton, where
the work of destruction ceased.
How many were concerned in this VII
famous work, is not yet known; but there
is no doubt that it was preconcerted and
simultaneous movement on the part of eiti-
Gems along the road, as no single party
could have accomplished so much in Que
night.
Three hundred of the villains are known
to have been engaged in the destruction Of
bridge and track at Warrenton. 81
