THE w A r.
Capt Wilkes Justified in Advance by the
British Government.

The latest foreign news embraces signf-
cant intimaton of the view that will be TAX
en- by the British government of the arrest
of Mason and Slidell. Rumors were afoat
that the Adger had gone out with intention
of forcibly taking them from the British mail
steamer, even in an English port, and the
Edinburgh Scotsman, reliable journal as
serts that the law officers of England had de-
cided that United States officials had a per-
feet and legal right to seized mail steamer
knowingly conveying such contrabands, even
in the harbors of Great Britain. The Scots
man, however, denounces the course of the
steamer james Adger as wantonly offensive.
1t states that on the assumption that the Ad-
ger was watching for the mail steamer, the
British war steamer Phaeton was ordered to
watch the American steamer, and to protect
against her any vessel bearing the British
flag, and adds:
Communications then took place between
our government and the American minister,
in which the latter disclaimed any such inten-
ton as that imputed in the proceedings of
the United States steamer-or rather, he dis
claimed any knowledge of the matter. At
the same time it was ascertained to be the
opinion of the law officers Of the crown, that
according to the Interpretation of the law, as
laid down in former decisions, the relation of
Britain to the American belligerents are,
perhaps, such that there might have been
fair legal grounds for the American cruiser
Selling the mail steamer as prize, even in
British waters. if it could have been shown
that she knowingly harbored TIE persons and
property of enemies to the United States, IL

parted; but is supposed to be cruising of
the Irish coast, for purposes similar to those
which brought her to Southampton"

tF= saw man from Massachusetts who
was in Virginia the other day when the pick
cts brought in some rebel soldiers, who hail
ed from Richmond. These soldiers had on
new uniforms and clothes, which my inform
ant says he is willing 10 swear were some of
the very garments sent by the state to Rich
mond, to clothe the loyal prisoners now in
confinement. So it seems that the willing
ness of the rebels to have clothes sent on,
Was to get garments for the backs of their
own men. In keeping with the barbarism
and dishonesty of all the rebel movements

~ Mr. Walton writes TO Walton's Dali

c. Mr. Walton writes to Walton's Daily
Journal from Washington Dec. 1, as follows :
Last evening Rev VIM. II. Lord returned
to this city from the Vermont Brigade. and
gave very sorrowful account oil the sickness
of troops. About eleven hundred of the
brigade are on the sick list and in cases of
malignant typhus fever there have been many
deaths. The Fourth and Fifth regiments
which were hurried off without thorough
preparation, and arrived at bad time, suf-
fer the most. Still it is a remarkable fact
that even in these same companies have al
most entirely escaped disease, while others
have greatly suffered. Something then is
due to the precaution and care of officer. and
men. The Second regiment which has been
longest in service, am told is comparatively
well and, moreover, that Col Whiting is
growing rapidly and strongly in the esteem
OF the regiment and of the brigade.
