MIR. WALTON writes from Washington to
Walton's DAILY Journal, under date of Dec.
Is, as follows
1.-The news Of the occupancy Of Ship Isl.
land, at the mouth Of the Mississippi, by
Gen. Phelps, was gladly hailed here, thong ID
l must say the Generals proclamation is re-
garded y most people here as very extra>
ordinary production. As speech in Con-
gress it might have escaped criticism. Most
of its propositions are not novel there, or to
the people of the North, and there is in it a
remarkable resemblance, in respect to capital
and labor, to the Presidents message still
as the proclamation of a General, addressed
to slave holding community, and for the
purpose of bringing them to their allegiance
it provokes both ridicule and censure. 1t
ought to satisfy every body that it is high
time for the Executive, or the commander of
the army, or Congress, to adopt q definite
policy on this subject, and require the
officers of the army to conform to it, When
General Phelps was proposed for his
present position, it was objected to him by
some OF his old army acquaintance that he
was insane on the slavery question. A Major
General took occasion to sound him on that
subject, and reported that he did not think
HIM exactly insane on that question, but that
he was "a little ahead of the rest of u.s."
This gentleman, l know, has very high
opinion OF the military qualifications of Gen.
Phelps, and it will be much to be regretted
if the proclamation impairs his usefulness in
that respect. 1t is reported that it created
great dissatisfaction among officers of the
army and navy at Ship Island. | hardly
know what will come OF it here, but if it
serves to bring about settlement upon some
line of action in aspect to slavery, it will be
well. The House has referred the slavery |
question to the Judiciary Committee. In |
the Senate the question was debated yester- |
day by Senators Lane (of Kansas) and Car
Isle (of virginia.; and it is good omen,
that while they started far apart, apparently,
they ended pretty nearly together. Lane
would conduct the war without reference to
it and having nothing to
10 with it; Carlisle would be content if, in
he Legitimate prosecution of the war, slavery
hQuld be ended

New YORK, Dec. Dist

The Heraa editorially says according to
our latest adviccs from Washington, all
apprehensions of rupture with England
upon the late affair of the Trent may be
dismissed.
Our Cabinet, we are informed, are looking
to the absorbing and paramount issue 81
the suppression of this Southern rebellion.
They will yield to the present demands OF
England as the conditions of her neutrality,
even if their demands involve the restoration
of Mason and Slidell to the protection of the
British flag, and disavowal of any apology
for their seizure by Capt. Wilkes.

MIR. BRIGHT's SPEECH ROCH-
DALE.

Mr.. BRIGur is one Of the very few public
men in England who appear to have just
views and kind feelings towards our Govern
ment and people 50 far at least as we can
Judge from what appears in the English
journals. His speech at Rochdale, was Vi
tered when the storm about the affair of the
Trent and Mason and Sidell was at it's
height. The London Times, with a sheer,
wished Mr.. Bright to notice that not a soli-
tary echo had ben made 10 his expression
of favorable sentiments towards the United
States. None the less on that account are
they to be appreciated by Us. A brief sum-
mary of Mr.. B.ight's speech is worth read
ing
Mr.. Bright referred u the act of secession
on the part OF the South. Newspapers said
this question OF secession was much like that
which occurred when the colonies revolted
against the mother country. The question
in 1850 Was whether a corrupt ministry IN
Downing street and borough mongering
parliament in Westminster should tax three
millions OF unrepresented culonists without
their consent. Now, the representation of
the South in the American legislature was
not only complete, bat 10 excess. Three out
of every five slaves are counted as white men
and the consequence was that the South had
returned about twenty more members than
it had natural right to do. This showed
that th,r was no simila ity between tie
two cases. Another reason for the secession
alleged on this side. was the protective taiif.
No American, however, attributed the diso-
luton of the Union 10 that cause. The
question was not one OF protection or free
trade, 1t was one of a different and graver
character. For thirty years slavery had been
constantly coming to the surface as the diff
Guilty of American politicians. The object
of the South in seeding was to escape from
the votes of those who wish to limit the area
of slave territory.
What course, asked Mr.. Bright, should
England pursue? We should be neutral
we were neutral in Italy, but were not neu
tral IN sympathy. and although no English
ships or soldiers appeared on the shores of
that country, the sympathy of England was
spoken oil IN Europe, and did much to aid
Tn establishment oi the free Italian king
dom. MT Bright then argued that we had
not gwen si.nilar cordial sympathy to tue
people oil the Northern States of America.
although one or two statesmen, as for in
stance the Duke OF Argyll and Lord Stanley.
had spoken with liberality, fairness and
friendliness of the United States. Earl Rus
sell, however, at Newcastle, had misrepre-
sented the question when be said the North
were contending for empire and the South
for independ nee. and tue leading journals,

GEN BUTLER ON PHELPs.-The Boston

GEN. BUTLER ON PHELPs.-The Boston
Courier says:
ave understand that a gentleman met Gen.
Butler in the cars yesterday, and inquired II he
drafted the proclamation issued at Ship Island by
Gen. PhelpsY The General indignantly repudl-
ated the document, and said it could only have
been the work Of a mailman or fanatic.
The Boston Courier is not very good au-
thority on such subjects. We doubt wheth-
er Gen. Butler said just that. If he did,
some recollections of his own conduct might
have made him speak more modestly. Gen.
Phelps proclamation was useless without
proper aim. and injudicious. but not half so
faulty as was Gen. Buffers offer last April,
to stop to put down rumored slave insur-
rection in Maryland, when his sole orders
were to take his command to Washington
for the protection of the Capital, then in
imminent danger of an attack of the rebels.
PROCLAMATION making and speechifying had
better be let alone by our generals all around.
Come to the practical business of fighting,
we VIII turn out Gen. Phelps against Gen.
Butler and half a dozen like him, any
Day.

what some newspapers writer's advised, and
had allowed the South to withdraw from the
Union without making any effort to retain
them, we should have been told that democ-
racy was failure, that the Northern gov
eminent was guilty of cowardice. and was
worthy only OF unmeasured contempt. These
candid friends tell us American freedom Is
bone, the Habeas Corpus Act has been sus-
pended, and other laws and liberties have
been endangered. But had not we suspend
ed the Habeas Corpus Act during the Irish
rebellion of l648 and if an insurgent army
were encamped within sight of London, what
regard would government have for the per-
sonal liberty OF the subject in any measures
they took for securing the safety OF the State!
We are told that it would be better tor us
if the United States were divided and Sir
Edward Lytton had predicted that there
would ultimately be four or FIVE separate ma
tions or federations. The former he cousid-
cred mean argument and as for the latter
he would far rather see the whole OF that

New YORK, Dec. 10.

The Tribune Washington despatch ays
the English messenger to Lord Lyons and
the bearer Of Mr.. Adams dispatches to our
Government, reached Washington last night
ct midnight Today the President will send
to the Senate Il message ON the subject of our
relations with England.
4 rumor prevailed in Washington yes
terday, that the Government had
decided to give up Mason and S.idsI, but
this had DO foundation. The question coGlt
not be decided before the receipt of our Min
ister's dispatches, and the Africa will carry
out only formal despatch, 1t Is thought,
announcing the arrival Of the messenger.
The Times despatch says Cabinet meet
ing was held to day, at which the whole
matter Of the Trent was discussed, though
informally, as neither the Queens messenger
or the one from Minister Adams had then
arrived. The sentiment prevalent IS under
