Ever ything is as quiet at Fort Warren as it
was before the arrival of the important prison
ers whose capture is the cause OF so much dis
cussion and so much rejoicing Col. Dimick
is more strict in admitting visitors to the tort
than heretofore, although a few officers still
have the privilege allowed. Among these,
and about the only ones are Gov. Andrew,
Marshal Keyes, and the mayor and Chief OF
police of Boston. Slidell and Mason have
comfortable quarters, which they share with
their secretaries. AS they have funds they
have purchased various articles for their con
veniencc not provided by the government,
and as the prospect is that they are likely TO
remain here sometime, their money has been
judiciously used.
Mr. Mason, who wore an air of noncdai1nce
on Sunday, when taken to the fort, has
apparently found the place less agreeable than
he anticipated. Perhaps the climate does not
agree with him, or it may be that he means to
be exclusive; but it is remarked, among the
prisoners, that he keeps himself very close to
his room. lie appears sad and not in very
good humor. On the other hand, Slidel is

Some of the Washington letter writer's are
never so wise and oracuIar as when they as
sumo to have very confidential relations with
the government, aud to treat of matters in a
style that implies a wonderful knowledge of
great secrets. 1t is the custom of those who
write for the New York Herald 10 vary their
statements every day. Somebody in Wash
ington, who seems accustomed to this method
ofdeaing with the public writes as follows =
"Persons well informed say the cabinet
stands four 10 three against freeing The slaves,
and putting arms in their hands to put down
the rebellion General Cameron and secreta,
ries Chase aud Wpips favor it, and Seward,
Bates, Blair, and Smtt oppose it, The most
bitter opposition is made by Smith, Blair, aud
Seward The president is understood to favor
il, though he has not come out yet like the
cabinet members
We do not believe this report. In the first
place it makes a false statement OF the policy
endorsed by Mr.. Cameron, aud in the second
place it makes AN Improbable Classification OF
the secretaries. 1t is our opinion that the Whole
report is an invention, or, at best, mere gossip.
We have seen other reports OF disagreement
in tue cabinet, but we do not credit them
We see nothing to warrant faith in them
There is doubtless a diversity of views among
the secretaries on some points, bnt no snch
Disagreement" probably, as implies collision.
In our judgment it is not well to be in 4 hurry
to credit such rumOrs.

PROVIDENCE AND WORCESTER RAILROAD
AND COMMERCIAL STEAMBOAT COMPANY S
New York LINE.--A new propeller has been
added to this popular freight line, to ply be-
tween Providence and New York, in conjunc-
ton with those now ON the route. She arrived
yesterday, and is now diSCharging at the com

80 feet wide, 10 feet in the hold, y feet be-
tween decks, aud of the capacity OF $50

connection with the service has become very
popular.
On her trip the engines and every thing

Yesterday morning we published the state
ment of a Washington letter that the seces-
sionsts there and at Baltimore had received
news Of the capture of Pensacola by the eder.
al forces. We now learn from some of the
rebel newspapers in Virginia that the rebels
and their batteries at Pensacola were attacked
on the 18th inst, Tone account says the 17th,)
of the matter comes TO us from the rebels
through Richmond, in the following form -
BALTIMORE, Nov. 26-rhe Old Point boat
has arrived. Passengers say the Norfolk Day
Book has dispatch from Richmond TO the eff
feet that an engagement was going ON at Pen
sacoa Parties who read the papers say it
states that the Niagara and Colorado engaged
Fort McRae and that their fire was briskly
replied to, and that the vessels were dama ed
and had to haul off, and that Fort Pickens was
firing on the navy yard aud barracks The
report coming through "secesh" channel,
must be received with due allowance.
FORTRESS MONROE, Nov 25-Fort Pick
ems opened fire on Bragg's forces Saturday,
the 18th inst. The particulars are meagre'
and come through rebel sources. Bragg tele
graphs that he was taking the bombardment
cody. The rebels claim TO have preached
the walls OF tort Plckens. lie navy yard
was on fire three times and was put out The
village OF Warrington was burned by Browns
force on the first day
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The assistant seq
Rotary Of war received dispatch from Balti-
more stating that the Norfolk Day Book pub
lished advices from Richmond, to the effect that
an engagement was going on at Pensacola.
The Day Book adds that fort Pickens was
firing on Pensacola navy yard. Another dis
patch says the fight commenced Saturday and
was in progress Sunday night. Fort Pickens,
by firing hot shot, had set the Pensacola navy
yard OIL fire three times, but the rebels man
aged up to the latter day to eXtiDguish the
flames. They had not, however, been able to
suppress those of the burning town Of War.
rington, which the shot had utterly destroyed
Twas thought at Old Point that our victory
was decisive.
The news Of the capture of Pensacola,
which disheartened the secessionists at Wash
ington, was probably correct. These reports
from Richmond are very incomplete, but they
very plainly indicate that fort Pickens and the
fleet had triumphed. Fort Pickens now has
powerful armament, and if Colonel Brown
opened fire on the seces sionists, the cannonade
must have been terrific. We can not have a
complete account of what has occurred. until

South Side View of the Arrest OF Mason

rFrom the Richmond Enquirer.


This extraordinary act of the Lincoln gov
ernment must be followed by important conse-
quences 1t is impossible for the English
government, without disgrace, 10 fail to exact
the fullest reparalion. If Commodore Wilkes
acted under orders, we do not see how Lincoln
can possibly escape the most serious compica-
lions with The English government. If it be
said that England, in 1872, claimed the right
of visitation of our national vessels, and sez.
ure of our subjects on board, it will be replied
that our government denied the right, and re-
sisted it with war, and that England, in conse-
quence, abandoned the practice. Nay, so SEN
sitive have we, and so deferential has England,
since been on this point, that even suspected
slayets sailing under our flag have been pro-
tected by ii from English visitation, although
we agreed with England in denouncing the
slave trade as piracy. Can England, after
conceding all this TO our claim, and after
having SO long abandoned the exercise, if
she has not disavowed the right Of visitation
and seizure, now submit to the hardships
OF theory, the benefit Of which was de-
MED her, and that, too, at the hands of
tile government which denied it? Will she
allow what still claims 10 be the government
