I.c.~ THE CABINET REGARDED TIE RESULT.
Correspondence Of the Manchester G;uardian.l
LospoS, Friday, ign. 10,
TIE result Of sl,e Cabinet Council, ycstcr-
day, is the formal Termination Of our differ
snce with America respecting the atlair IF tic
Trent. The Government wisely separate Mr.
Stewards acts from his theoretical arguments,
and simply accept his unconditional conlpfi-
ancc with their Demand expressing their read
lntss to discuss with him, as soon as they are
legally Informed upon the subject, the more
general remarks that serve to fill the yolnmin-
ens dispatch which arrived in London from
LORD Lyons Yesterday. understand that
while agreeing without hesitation in the argu-
1ncnt on which our demand was founded, Mr..
Seward confines bis condemnation Of Captain
WILKES to his omission in not taking the Trent
adiudicated on AMI told that his arguments
are not strong, or put with his usually force and
adroitness. They mostly tend to Justify q
refusal Of our demand, and the resolution Of
g1flng up inc prisoners Is added most in
the propriety Of their seizurc and detention
Is sought to he sustained.
Al this, no doubt, is tic effect of compro-
mise between the peace and war party in the
Washington Cabinet. The former. having
happy to allow the latter the consolation Of
having their arguments and views given to
the world. However, as have said, our Gov
ment lave Tor the present only dealt With the
act Of the American Cabinet, and, the ground
once cleared, will be glad to consult with
them and the other powers upon the estab-
Isbn!ent Of some distinct code with respect
to the treatment Of neutrls by bclligcrents.
The Law Officers Of the Grown have already
been consulted on this point. Meanwhile,
there is to be no relaxation in our efforts to
| put the Canadian dcfenscs on 4 proper foot
| ing None Of thc troops lately sent out will
| be withdrawn until the Internal American. DIFF
| tculty shall be settled. The organization Of
| the local militia and volunteers will lc pro-
| ceeaed With, and a military commission will
| be sent out to devise meaus for the protection
| Of the frontier by forts and works Along the
| points most open to attack. This Last will be
| very expensive operation, Of which We may
| fairly expect the Canadilns themselves to
take at least some share Of the burden.

It is great victory, though it is but an cs-

nJitted himself at Last to go beyond the posi-
biGty Of sutlerancc. We have done nothing
