The following dispatch from Washington to

over the telegraph wires but was suppressed by
the government officers at Washington
The true history ofthe Tient affair at Wa h

ing held after the seizure OF Slideil and Mason
the President expressed himself in favor of re-
storing them 10 the protection Of the Brit
ish flag if il should be demanded He said it
was doubtful if the course Of Captain WilNes
could be justified by international law :; and
that. at all events, he could not afford to have
two wars upon his hands at the same time. At
torney General Bates echoed this opinion. =
He thought the seizure unjhstihable, and was
in favor of giving up the same upon demand
Secretary Seward was non-comnlitlal. The
other members Of the Cabinet disagreed with
Mr. Lincoln positively; and Secretary Chase
srpurd torcibly and with wrath that the course
recommended by the President would be dis
honorable TO the United States as nation. =
Thus matters stood GnIil the first helIigerent
note from England. No further discussion took
place, nor as the QUESTION again mooted i'll The
cabinet until Christmas day.
The dispatch from Earl Russell TO Lord Lyons
was delivered in the State Department on Sat
urday, and Mr.. Seward Immediately went to
work on his reply. Remembering the views Of
The cabinet, previously expressed, Mr.. Lincoln
was not in haste to call them together O4e
meeting was adjourned to prevent premature
discussion, and another OH he regular day did
not take place. The first was on Christmas day,
and after Lord Lyons had made his commune
cation. Immediately after ThouvensIs dispatch
had been delivered, Seward's reply was read 10
the council IN session prolonged for fire hours
The dispatch of Thouyenal had convinced the
opponents of sure uder that the public opinion

used to secure unauimty in that policy.
Mr.. Stewards dispatch. however, was submit
ted to much criticism Many alterations and
notifications ere suggested. The next day a
