Foreign Complications Ahead.
Washington Correspondence N. Y. World, 4th.

Washington Correspondence N. Y. World. 4th.
Private letters, as we'll as dispatches,
from Mr.. Dayton and Mr.. Adams, indicate
that an attempt will soon be made, in both
England and France, to induce the govern
ments OF those countries to raise the block
ade, on the ground OF its inefiectiveness. AS
yet no formal complaint has been made to
this government, but it is we'll known that
the materials for complaint are in the hands
of those who will endeavor to use it to the
detriment of the government. The meeting
of the English Parliament on the 18th
January, will, it is understood, be the signal
for the opening of the whole American
question, including the effectiveness of our
blockade. Sympathizers with the South
ern Confederacy have been supplied with
all the necessary data, and you may expect
very warm debates and an endeavor to force
the government into position on this sub.
ject that will not be satisfactory to this ma
tiOn. The proposition of Mr.. Stevens on
behalf Of the Committee of Ways and
Means, to declare the Southern ports of en-
try abolished, will not, if passed, be regard
ed by the foreign powers. 1t would only
serve to complicate the matter. Having
declared a blockade, we are bound to ad-
here to it. Should, however, our armies
crush out the rebellion in Tennessee and
Virginia, and our troops obtain possession
of Charleston and Savannah and Mobile and
New Orleans, Mr.. Stevens proposition
could then doubtless be enforced, and would
be respected by foreign powers. But when
that is done there will be no longer any ne
cessity for the measure proposed by that
gentleman. Mr.. Stevens proposition for
closing the Southern ports of entry lays
over, under the rule, to the first Tuesday in
February, by which time it is hoped there
will be no necessity for passing it.

The Boston TTaoslzsr, Of Thursday, con.
tains the following particulars relative to
the departure Of the rebel commissioner
from Fort Warren 'e"'a .+ooh
The departure Of Mason and Slidell from
Fort Warren, yesterday, was conducted as
quietly as possible. The garrison, with the
J exception OF the guards on duty, were kept
from the side of the fort where the prison
ers' quarters are, and there were but few
persons upon the wharf when they embark.
ed. The other political prisoners, as they
bade them goodbye, congratulated them on
their release. Mr.. Mason went off in good
humvr. Indeed, he has recently been in
good spirits, and has borne his imprison
ment with the air of philosopher.
Mr.. Slidell was somewhat sulky, and not
at all pleased at going in such an unosten-
tatiOus manner, and in such vessel. He
evidently expected that steamer would
come here especially for them. Pait Of bis
ill.nature may be owing to bis health,
which has not been good for some weeks,
keeping him pretty close to bis room, al
though be has not called for medical aid.
The tug Starlight, with the four rebels,
reached Provincetown little before five
O'Clock in the afternoon, and Immediately
proceeded to the English sloop of.war Ri.
naldo, and transferred her passengers. Com.
Hudson, who was in charge of the ar.
raDgements, went with them on board the
English war vessel, and remained on board
for about fifteen minutes, when be returned
to the tug. -4-s.,.-. ..i.,.
At about six o'clock in the afternoon the
Rinaldo got under way and proceeded on
her voyage. In about two hours after
wards violent gale commenced, and blew
all night at Provincetown with almost the
violence of hurricane, but, as the wind
was off shore. probably the safety of the
vessel was not endangered. During the
stay of the Rinald0 at Provincetown no
communication was allowed with the shore,
nor was any boat allowed to come along
side.

reply. Gen. Halleck figured for moment,

remark, That is my proportion. Good

Jim Lanes Great Expedition.
SAVING THE UNION AND LETTING SLAVERY
TAKE CARE OF ITSELF

We condenss from the Chicago Tribune,
a statement of what General JIM LANE
intends to do, with the command entrusted
to him by the President
The Administration has authorized Gen.
Lane to make Leavenworth his headquar.
ters, and there collect together 10000
picked men in the shortest practicable space
OF time, and to march to bis field of opera
tlons with all the alacrity possible. Jim
Lane is not the man to fall asleep when at
work, nor to let his braves die of inaction
and lassitude. He believes that rest wears
more than friction, and that idleness kills
and demoralizes more soldiers than hard
marches. Lane has selected Western regi>
ments exclusively His expedition will be
q Western enterprise and the campaign will
be conducted on Western principles
Economy, celerity, and bravery are the i'm.
plements. He expects to start with $1,000
cavalry, 10000 infantry, 1000 flying artll.
lery, l,200 fusileers, 1000 loyal Indians,
and about 1000 contrabands, now in Kan.
sas, on the start; but the latter force is
expected to increase as be proceeds South.
He Can employ 5000 to 10000 able bod
led contrabands to great advantage, as ser.
wants and laborers. Gen. Lane claims that
with the help of eight or ten thousand ro-
bust, loyal blacks, as men of all work, he
can double the efficiency and striking power
OF bis troops, and prevent more than half
the per cent. of sickness and death that is
wasting the ranks of the other divisions of
the army, where pro-slavery Generals sub.
ject their soldiers to all kinds OF drudgery
and hardship rather than hurt the "divine
institution of the secesh The Govern
ment, we understood, have assigned the
following forces to constitute the Army of
the Southwest under Gen. Lane;
