Ion, the well-informed correspondent of the Bal

is well posted in English circles writes of the cap
ture of Messrs. Mason and Sldell::
WASHINGTON, Nov. l9-The arrest of the Con.
4federate ENJOYS on board a British packet will
serve as test of the disposition of the British.
Government towards the Federal Government in.
the present contest. They Gan,, If they please,
make it a preteXt for asqnarrel,. if their policy
renders rupture desirable. The British journals
show that the public mind is deeply agta ed by
the distress which threatens, if it has not actually
invaded the manufacturing districts, and popular
clamor for the restoration of the American cotton
trade will probably arise in the course of the
winter. a mere recognition, of the Confederate
States would neither arrest the war nor raise the
blockade, nor derive supply of cotton. England,
| therefore, must hazard war for cotton supply,
| unless she can obtain it by a more convenient and
| direct process. Vs. '"
| 1t is probable that she will resort first to ami
cable negetiati ons with the Federal Government,
| and it ia believed that assurances have already
been given through our Minister, Mr. Adams, that
free access the cotton ports should be given this
winter to British vessels. ,z .r--zs-. o. .ssz
| The traditonary policy of she United States
does not permit the search Ct vessels except as q
belligerent right, on the high seas, and whether il
is safe to abandon our maritime principles for
| the sake of a temporary advantage, maybe doubt
| full. Hereafter our long settled policy may work
in our favor. But, if we adopt British precedents
the capture of the Ministers would find ample just
| fcation. mo- :, -.
