An editorial in the London Times claim.
that British ship, until Der violation o.
neutral rights is proved, must be held to
be British ground as much as if she were an
actual piece Of British soil, and the right OF
protection TO all persons on board is as valid
as on British territory. Now, no such vio-
latiGn has been proved or sought to be
proved against the Trent, consequently the
seizure of four persons, dragged from her
decks, was entirely Illegal Siidell and
Mason were, al the most, civil servants to a
hostile power, and were travelling from one
neutral port to another, in neutral vessel.
If the Government at Washington declare
them rebels, then the right of asylum has
been clearly violated.
The Times concludes by ad;uriug the
Government end Northern people to do JUS
tice in the matter.

Sumter coal, but allowed her to come to
St.Pferre where she obtained supply from
English merchants. - -
The Sumter had been received with cour-
tesy st the seat of government, and Capt.
Palmer discovered, to use his own language,
that the farce of non-recogIition OF the Con-
feaerate flag by France and England is
played ont He had a correspondence with
the government, the result of which was
be was referred to a paragraph of Wheaton's
International law, to the effect that one bel
ligeFent ceald not depart from port until "a
hours after another had left. The Sumter
at that time was in port and the froquois,
was Obliged to anchor one marine league
from shore. The majority of the citizens
of Port Royal were 10 favor of the Sumter,
aud therefore anxious for her escape. Being
French, they 81 pathizs with Louisiana to
which State they thought the Sumter be-
longed. Throughout the proceedings Capt.
Palmer was apprehensive and fearful that
the Sumter would escape him, and wished
she was anywhere else than under French
protection, a. be authorities were throwing
every obstacle 10 his way. The Governor,
however, repndiated everything unlike
friendship. Ia reply to Capt. Palmer's COM
plaiut owing to the distance from shore
which the Iroquois was obligs d to occupy,
and the fact that the bay is fifteen miles
wide. and for the reasons above stated, the
Sumter succeeded in escaping. The Iroquois
followed her but could not fad her.
The Europa's dispatches excite lively
discussion here but seem not to disturb the
Government, which, while desiring no en-
bsrrassmeRt with England, looks with COM
posure and confidence on events as they oc-
cur.
