SLIDELL AND MASON TO Be SURRENDERED

WASHINGTON, Dec 20. The Admin.
istration has decided to release Sldel
and Mason. Mr.. Seward and Lord Ly-
ons were in conference this morning in
regard to the manner in which the rebel
commissioners should be given up.
The National IntelFgencer publishes
the entire correspondence which has Ia
ken place between the English and
French governments, and our own, on
the subject, with an editorial article jus
tifying the release.
The conservatives here approve OF
this decision on the part of the govern
ment, but the more radical Republicans
denounce it. The Republican has an an
cry article on the subject. The "peace
men" who sympathyze with the South
are disguised.
WASHINGTON, Dec. %. The decis-
son of the President in the Trent affair
as announced in the dispatch of Secre-
tary Seward, has the approval of every
member of the Cabinet. The Intelligent
Ger, in an article apparently semi.oliicial,
says:
Whatever may be the disappoint-
ment of any at the result TO which the
Administration has come in settling a
question constitutionally deyolyod upon
the executive branch of the government
we are sure all will applaud the frmness
and sincerity in which the Administra-
ton, resisting natural tendency sup
pressed by the conceited drift of public
opinion in our own country, has resolved
to do what it believes to be right in the
premises, and it surely should give cause
to all who may be disposed to challenge
the propriety Of the resolution to which
the Administration has come, when they
note that a contrary decision would leave
US in opposition not only to Great Brit
ain, but also to those which the govern
ment OF France has expressed respecting
the principles CT public law involved in
this transaction"
The HstelHgencer says in conclusion
" Whatever, therefore, may be said by
any in the way Of exception to the cx-
IRENE terms Of the demand made by the
British in the case of the Trent, it is at
least Just to admit that the case has been
50 adjusted by cur government as to sub
serve, we hope the great cause Of neu
trail rights against the assumption hereto
fore asserted by England, but now repu-
dated by that power in common with
France and the United States.
The law Of nations, as additionally
interpreted by our government, has re-
ceived new sanction, though at the cost,
it may be, of natural sensibilities walked
into disproportionate activity by the tenn
porary exacerbations of our civil feuds.
The latter, let US remember, are but for
day. The law Of nations is for all
time

GEo. f. TRAIN ON MASON AND SLI-
DELL. Mr.. George f. Train, being in
vited to lecture in Tunstall, Staffordshire,
England, in aid of the Atheneum there,
alluded to the Trent question, and I'M
mistakeahly expressed his patriotic SYM
pathy with America, his confidence in
her sense Of justice, and her courage in
any contingency. He was frequently
interrupted by insulting remarks from
some Of the audience, and created great
confusion when he said-"I would have
tried the commissioners in a prize court
in New York would have convicted
them Of high treason; / would have
hanged them-and then sent them to
England, if England insisted on their
being given up" The chairman threat
ened to call the police and eject the
rioters, and Mr.. Train protested that he
had a right to speak his mind. The hiss
es were tempestuous, but Mr.. Train was
not inundated, and with admirable tact
and dignity silenced the holder ones who
interrupted him, continued his severe
condemnation of England's impetuosity,
and not only finished his remarks, but
extorted a vote of thanks from the Tun,
sta'l-ers for what be bad said

EFFECTIvE BLocKADE.-The gov
eminent having laudable desire to
please Great Britain in all things, has
determined to stop her mutterings in re-
gard to the non effectiveness of our block

etus upon her so far as Charleston is con-
cerned by sinking sixteen old hulks-
Nantucket whalemen-loaded with stone,
at the entrance of her excellent harbor,
where they will lay and founder, sinking
deeper at each ebb and flow of the tide.
The persuasive eloquence of Uncle Sam
having failed to elicit nothing from wick

to "try what virtue there is in stones
