AND THE rRgNT AFFAIR.

AUSTRIA AND The TRENT AFFAIR.
Official Correspondence BetiCeen the austrian Mn
iSteT and Mr.. Selcard RctatiUe to the MqSoR-
StideH Affair.
President Lincoln, on the I4th inst, trans
mitted to the rump Congress the following doc
uments relative to the Trent affair:
COUNT REoHBURG To II CHEvALIER HULsE-
MANN.
VIENNA, December Is, 1861.
To the GhevaHer De Hulsemann, Washington.
Sir The difference which has supervened be-
tween the government of the United States and
that of Great Britain, in consequence of the ar
rest of Messrs. Mason and Sidell, made by the
captain Of the American ship-oEwar San Jacinto,
on board the English mail packet Trent, has not
failed to fix the most serious attention of the i'm
perial court.
The more Importance we attach TO the main
tenance Of friendly relations between the United
States and England, the more must We regret an
accident which has come to add SO grave a com
pication to a question already b~ristling with so
many difficulties.
Without having the intention to enter here
upon an examination into the question of right,
we nevertheless cannot but acknowledge that,
according to the notions of international law
adopted by al the powers, and which the Amer-
can government itself has often taken as the
Ah-t Vi u COuUtIts ElEAdu4 LN4lu ntts III any
wise, in the present case, refrain from reclama-
zion against the affront given to her flag, and
from asking proper PREPARATION for it.
It seems to us moreover. that the request, re-
duced TO form by the Cabinet Of st. James, has
in it nothing offensive to the Cabinet of Wash
ington, and that it will be able to do an act of
equity and moderation, without the least sacri-
flee Of its dignity, in taking eounsels from rules
which guide International relations, as well as
from considerations Of enlightened policy, rather
than from manifestations produced by an over
excitement of national feeling.
The government Of the United States, we are
gratifed to hope, viii bring into its appreciation
Of the case all the calmness which its Importance
demands, and viii deem it proper to take a posi-
ton which, while preserving from rupture the
relations between two great powers, to which
Austria Is equally bound in friendship, viii be
such as to prevent the grave disturbance which
the eventually OF a war could not fail to bring,
not only upon each one of the contending par
ties, but upon the affairs of the world generally.
You will please, sir, to bring the preceding re-
Elections to Mr.. Stewards notice, and make a re- (
port to as Of the manner in which the minister
shall receive your communication.
Accept, sir, the assurances of my distinguished
consideration. RECHBERG.

necessary for the fotilla to force its way into Al
bermarle sound, which is connected with Pamli-
co sound BY q narrow strait some twenty miles
long, which divides the main land Of TyTell
county from the banks. Nearly in the middle of
the strait les Roanoke Island, which is probably
about twelve miles in length and threei in breadth.
Roanoke Island divides the strait into two parts,
that between it and the main land being called
Crotan sound, and that between the island and
the banks being called Roanoke sound. the
former, Cr0tan sound, viii probably admit the
passage of vessels drawing eight and a half to
nine feet watef-eight and three quarters is
marked on the coast survey at the shalowest
point. This channel approaches at one part OF
its course within easy range of the island, from
which batteries might command it. 1t eouldnot
be so easily commanded from the main md. 1t
IS thus evident that Crotsn sound will allow the
passage Of vessels Of as large a draft Of water
as can approach it from the sea, whether they
enter by HatseTas or Ocraeoke inlet. The cham
mel, however, is intricate and narrow and capa-
bic Of being readily DISTRACTED, we should think.
The same nauowness Of the channel would eyi-
IDENTIFY preclude ths possibility OF any maneuveT-
ing by gunboats or other vessels attacking any
batteries or the island, and il seems to US they
would be forced to pass certain points in single
file. Once in ALTERNATE sound the shore can
be approached with safety in twelve feet water
within three fourths Of a mile Of the shore, save
at two or three points. Amy vessel that can en-
ter ALTERNATE sound can ascend the Pasquotank
river to Elizabeth City. The Dismal Swamp
canal empEes into the Pasquotank river, the
mouth OF which is only divided from North river,
the mouth Of which is the southern terminus o.
The Albermarle and Chesapeake navigation, by
a narrow neck of land known as North Point.
The water between Roanoke Island aud the
banks is known as Roanoke sound, and is no
~navigable. There are no lunar tides and any
rise or fall in Albermarle and Crotsn sounds is
due to the winds or the state Of the rivers. A:
for our means of resistance and defense, we car
only trust that they may be adequate. Of cours,
we would not now state what they are, even if
we knew, which we do but partially.
Roanoke island is about fifty miles from Hat
teras inlet.
The New York Herald says that the gunboati
are very heavily armed, carrying one hundred
pound rifed Parrot guns and nine inch Dahlgrer

having crossed ovt the creek, but on the sp-

on the opposite side of the aforesaid creek.
From. appearancesour men are under the i'm
preston that the 4~incolnites numbered about
1000. We haviH taken no artillery, it was

Bull Run panic O the part of the towards de-

Prom Green River.

We extract the following from tie correspond
ence Of the Cincinnati Commercial, written
under date of the l4th:
It Is with considerable reluctance that I record
he fact Of she commencement Of Notifications
on the south bank Of Green river. L do not
wish 70 deny the desirsbility Of an efficient pro-
teeiion OF the bridges by 3 tee de pOHt to provide
for possible, although improbable, contingencies.
Previous 10 the advance Of the Federal army
under Gen. Mcdowell to Manassas, prudent
military men advised the constrgosion Of strong
works for the defense Of the Long bridge. The
idea Of a defeat and general retreat 70 Washing
ton was then laughed at by many but the
sequence proved that, had the Confederates been
able TO give pursuit, but for the tete de poRl, they
might Rave easily eut of the only means Of
retreat across The Potomac. In view Of the
lesson Of the past, It may be vel enough to
fortify on the south bank. But il seems strange
that nothing was done il this line until after the
railroad bridge WIS completed. How long we
are to be engaged here IN fighting, / am unable
TO say; but the very erection of Notifications
does not augur vel for q speedy advance.
Wen, let us have patience and wait.
4 FORWARD MOvENEsw-A friend who was
A Cairo on Monday informs US that Gen Grants
division was about prepared for an advance
movement The gunboats, which he describes
as foatng batteries almost gunproof equipped
with armament of the most formidable character,
were ready for their destination. The h0tilla,
composed Of gun and mortar boats and steam
tugs, will take about ten thousand men, and
sixty thousand viii advance upon Columbus by
land. Gen. Grant, an energetic officer, is deter
m;Sed that his division shall no longer remain
fdle. AID it is confidently expected that the rebel
forces AZ Columbus win be attacked by land and
water not later than Sunday next. The. fortih-
cations at Columbus have been described as a
second Malakof, aud If 3 contest occurs there it
must be Of a most sanguinary character what

NEW YORK, January 14-Advices from Ha-

On the 2Sth ut, Gen. Prim, after a most en-
tLusiastic reception Of the Havanese, left there
50r Vera Cruz, to take commaBd Of the expedi-

of the French contingent.
Several of the English vessels had also been

18th, according to accounts brought down from
the interior by Sir Charles Wyke, the English
Minister.
The Mexicans are making immense prepare
tons to oppose the progress of the allies into
the interior, Jaurez has issued a temporary
proclamation calling on all parties to unite to
repel the invasion, and his call had been almost
universally responded to. 1t was believed over
one hundred thousand men would soon be in
the field, with one hundred pieces Of artillery,
