The strength Of the American Navy Is be-
ing canvassed in England. The London
Times says that although the whole Federal
Navy scarcely presents dozen worthy ar.
tagonists, yet it would be imprudeut IN the
extreme to despise the power Of the Ameri-
cans at sea. We have done this once and
paid the cost of our thoughtlessness. The
Americans will do little, but that little will
be done well. They will give our heavy
squadrons wide berth, and concentrate their
efforts on single vessels.'

various parts of England towards the Uni

The Continental news is Of slight impor-
tance. the Paris Bourse is firm. The Pa-

cated to the French papers q letter from
Gen. Scott, in which he declares that there
is no truth in the report that the Washing.
ton Cabinet had ordered the seizure of the
Southern Commissioners, even under the
protection of a neutral flag. He is quite igs
norant of what will be the decision of his
Government, but says that il is necessary to
preserve the good relations between England
and America He hopes that the Govern
ment will agree on solution OF the questioni
whether the prisoners were contraband or
not. II they were the agents of the rebels,
he says it will be difficult to convince even
impartial minds that they were less contra
band or war than rebel soldiers or cannon
In conclusion, Gen. Scott expresses his con-
vction that war between England and the
United States cannot take place without
more serious provocation than is at present
given. The London Times says that Gen.
Scott like his countrymsu, is rather incli.
ned to disavow the conception of the outra 90
than to repudiate it, now that it has been
done.
