The following items came by the Eu-
ropa:
Secretary Stewards dispatches were
considered in council on the 9th. The
Times understands an answer will be re-
turned expressing their qualification at The
disayowal Of Capt. Wilkes's act; accept
ing the satisfaction rendered, and assum-
ing the precedent in the Trent case, will
rule the case of the schooner Eugene
Smith. As to the laws of neutrals,
the government will decline to answer,
until it has had an opportunity of sub
hitting the whole note to the law officers.
There are propositions in the note not
admissible, but after the release Of the
prisoners, they may be properly discussed.
The Morning Post announces thor
ough understanding with the American
government has been arrived at, and that
Mr.. Seward will have succeeded in I'M
pressing upon the English government the
notion that they have not only present in
IDENTITY, but no small pledge of future Sc
curity.
The Times fixes England's expense ow-
ing to the late difficulty, at two million
pounds, but when allthe bills are in it will
double that amount, but that the money
has not been thrown away. )
The Daily News eulogizes the course
pursued by tho Washington government
and bitterly denounces the policy of the
Times and Post.
The Times has strong editorial on the
reception due Mason and Slidell, and says
they are the most worthless booty it
would be possible 10 extract from the jaws
of the American lion, having been long
known as habtual haters and revilers of
England. and sincerely hopes that Eng
lishmen will not give these fellows an ova-
ton. England has returned them good
for evil, and if they can, will only be viii
ing TO entangle her in a war with the
North. England would have done the
same for two negroes.
Other Journals advise similar course.
The Times reiterates and denounees
the policy of stone blockade, and says:
aAmong the crimes which have disgraced
mankind it would be difficult to find one
more atroeious than this and asserts
that no biiligcrent has right to resort to
| such warfare.
The Tuscarora and Nashville continued
at Southampton. The Nashville was at
the dock. The Government observed the
strictest neutrality towards her, and moth
ing is permitted to be done except to rem
der her seaworthy. The Sumter is report.
ed to have left Cadiz for Southampton.
Mr.. Russell, the correspondent of the
Times, predicts that the fate of the Amer
lean Government would be sealed if Jan
uary pass without some great victory.

attempt here to substitute the will of any
man fig the laws Of the land is barefaced
tyranny, and without the shadow OF an
excuse, and should be sternly withstood

This offensive mandate of Mr.. Stannus

cate Grau on the spot. Grau dared him to do
it, and went on undaunted. Now, what was the
result! Why, the Brooklyn public gave most
brilliant protest against its selfconstituted CEN
sors. The house was crowded with splendid
audience to hear "Traviata." Grau settled the
Brooklyn Pet in the first round of applause,
and took the handsome stake of $l,7OO-gross
receipts.
What do the censors say now of ''the present
condition of Brooklyn sentiments" Will they
follow the example of a defeated British minis
try, and resign? Will they learn common sense,
and let the public express its opinion in dollars
and cents at the door after this? Will they
acknowledge that the HERALD, which they 80
often advised to mind its own New York affairs,
really knew more of "Brooklyn sentiment"
than they did? If they misrepresented Brook
lyn sentiment upon the "Traviata," may they not
be wrong also about Mrs. Woods burlesques!
Finally, will they give all sorts of respectable
dramatic entertainments a chance at their
Academy, or shall we arrange for another
match of s1,70O side between the Brooklyn
Pet and the immortal Grau?

PUNISHMENT OF FRAUDS ON THE GOVERNMENT
The man who would be SO unprincipled and un
patriotic as to practise imposition upon the
government at time Of national peril and en-
barrassment like the present is deserving of
more than ordinary punishment. We are
therefore glad to observe that the Committee on
the Conduct of the War have resolved to advise
the immediate passage of bill to iniict the
penalty of death upon any person who commits
fraud upon the government whereby q soldier
is bodily injured-as, for instance, in the sale of
unsound provisions; also to punish with i'm
prisonment and conhscation of property con-
tractors defrauding the government in the
quality Of goods sold or services rendered. This
Is the first useful thing we remember the COM
mittee to have done, and we hope that their

Recommendation will be acted upon and
speedily become law. The first Napoleon
had summary way of dealing with fraudulent
characters Of this description, and the fear Of
having a speedy termination put to their ex-
istence had a very salutary effect in deterring
the contractors for his army from the practice
Of dishonesty. The shoddy aristocracy had
find themselves very soon in position so awk-
ward that their lives and property will not be
worth months purchase. Too much fraud
has already been practised with impunity by
individuals who have traded upon the misfor-
tunes of the country, and the interests of the
republic demand that some check should be
promptly and efficiently applied.

Let any close observer Of the wac take

separate parts Of one comprehensive and
symmetrical plan Of campaign are now
producing their inestimable results in
that state The greatest army of the
Secession conspirators was entrenched
upon the peninsula, between the James
and York rivers, dispuGng the passage
OF the national forces on their march 10

men, seeking some place Of safety or
some avenue for continued flight
On its way It's rear is harrasSed by QUO
OF General McClellan's columns; Its flank
is swooped down upon by another, and
on the James river it is pursued by the
gum boats Coming down upon 10 from
the north is General Mcdowell. who
holds fredericksburg. Barring its way
to the valley of Virginia is Gen Banks,
who has or will have possession Of the
Virginia Central Railroad, near Staunton.
Preventing its passage TO the southwest
IS General FTemont's column, which is in
the vicinity of the East Tennessee rail-
road and threatening il upon the south
IS the ever active Burnside, who is re-
ported to be on the march TO Weldon,
where his presence will cut off retreat by
way of the old railroad route through
the Cotton States. This, unless the enc
my attempts some desperate and reckless
enterprise, leaves them hut ono avenue
of escape, and that very poor one. So
far as the map throws any light upon the
subject, they must be precipitated upon
the little town Of Danville, in Virginia,
from which point they have been for
some time endeavoring to close up gap
in tho railroad to Greensboro, North Car
Gina. Their fight may, therefore, be
over this route through the "old North
State" where, let US hope, they will be
met by a sufficient number Of Union men
in tho Sovereign Q Convention now assem-
bled, TO send them further on without
the aid Of the national arms
No one who goes over the map, as here
indicated, can fail to admire that mill
tary genius which has made all the
widely separated parts Of one general
plan work so tremendously towards the
one great end, and which now concern
irates them with such effect and power

is 70 be crushed out Of the rebellion.

THE BATTLE OF WILLIAMSBURG
There can be no question that the Rebel
sayages bayoneted our wounded. Lieut..
Brush, of the New York Seventy third,
was seen TO fall dead. He was shot
through the heart When his body was
recovered, next day, twas wholly naked,
and bayoneted
All the wounded Zouaves, all having
red shirts, who fell on the ground which
the Rebels pushed us from were found
to have been bayoneted. They turned
the pockets of their own dead inside out,
and took off their shoes and stockings.
In the rifle pit in front Of the Fifth
Michigan, sixty-three dead Rebels were
found, every one killed by the bayonet

rial Of that body
The most important day in the history
Of Tennessee has brought the mo glad
dening sight to every lover ofhis country.
The Capitol has been crowded with
thousands representing all former diversi-
ties of political opinions, and nearly eve
~ section Of the State I have seen
around me men who have suffered in
bonds and endured persecution and con-
liscation Of property rather than fors wear
their allegiance to the Government Of
their fathers, or Join the traitors who
have conspired for its overthrow; men
who have been driven from their homes
and hunted like wild beasts because they
were loyal, and believed that secession
was no remedy for fancied or exaggerated
wrongs but an aggravati0n Of every evil
which could bofall our nation. Tennes-
see has to-day spoken in such trumpet
tones that the shade of Andrew Jackson
may hover over the State Of his love and
look down upon it with approval The
meeting, which has set the Union pulse
throbbing so ardently, was called by the
best, the Wisest, the most beloved and
experienced Of Tenncsgce's statesmen
who have long enjoyed the public conf
dence, andin whose united counsels there
is strength. Leading in the call, and
most litly selected TO preside over the de-
alterations, was William b, Campbell, the
