with from six to seven hundred troops, touch
ing at ST. Johns, n. B., to land them The
Africa was to sail on the 4lh. She would also
take number of troops, landing them at Hall
fax.
The iron plated frigate Warrior had got her
sails bent, and was to be kept in readiness to
leave, pending the solution OF the Trent ques-
ton. When the Ca lada left Liverpool, Il safe

Deputations from religious denominations,
inclulus the Congregational Union, the Bap-
fist Union, and the Baptist board, had an in
terview on the 9th o: December, with earl
Russell, on the subject of the threatened war
with America.
Fhe English papers continue to TEEN with
articles on the American question; but, as
they are mostly confined to specuations on
the eve of solution, it is not essential to give
them. AS the nearest precedent yet quoted,
to the Treat case, the London Times draws
attention to the affair Of the Dutch brig Hen
drc and Aida, captured by the British in
III, while she was bound 10 a neutral port
she had on board five officers for the Ameri-
can army. The ship and officers were released
by the British admiralty, The Judge ruling that
although the officers frankly admitted their
POSITIONS yet, as they were passengers in a
neutral SHIP, which sailed ON Il neutral port
for another neutral port, the proXimate des-
tinatou OF the passengers was entitled to be
reg irdti as an innocent destination, and they
were consequently set at liberty. The Times
claims that this case plainly establishes the
principle that, between one neutral port ana
another all persons and things whatever may
be legally carried.

ure OF Mason and Slilell in the terms Of Capt.
Williams report TO the admiralty. 1t makes
no mention Of the opinion Of the law officers
of the crown, OF which so much has been SAID
in the papers, but simply and explicitly char
acterlzes the capture IT'S an lntractlon OF the
law OF nations and an Insult to the English
flag. 1t declares that the cabinet at st. James,
considering the cordial and friendly character
the United States, cannot doubt tor an instant
that the captain OF the San Jacnto must have
acted without authority from his government.
Ii then adds that the British government feels
confident that the government OF the United
States will not hesitate to take the only step
possible under the circumstances, namely,
'the release OF the prisoners Siidell and Ma
son. making at the same time Suitable repara-
ton for the insult offered to the British flag"
Every regiment in the camp at Aldershott
had been medically inspected, SO that they
