| WASHINGTON, Nov. l9.-Lord Lyons has not be-
haved like diplomatist since the of the cap
ture Of Mason and Slidell. Unoficially he is al
most impertinent. In his conversation he assumes
that the United States must yield the point in con
troversy, disavow the act of Wilkes and return
Mason and slidell to England.
The Spanish Minister has, openly declared that il
Mason and Slidell had been taken from Spanish
ship, he would have Immediately demanded his
passports.
Lord Lyons it is said, has assumed menacing
be given up, and ample reparation made for the
ofense offered to the British crown. Nothing of
this kind has been officially intimated, but in his
ordinary intercourse these expressions of disappro.
baton and hostility have been unguardedly made.
