the approach Of the Merrimae, struck their
cOlors, and we're boarded by the James
town, who took possession of the officers,
but permitted the crew to escape. The
rebels then sat FIRE to the frigate, burning
her 10 the waters edge. Ia the meantime,

ers. In reply to this the Earl Russell says
Great Britain could not have permitted
Ike perpetration of that wrong, howeves
flourishing might have been the insurrectlon
in the South.
Another despatch gives Lord Lyons con-
versation with Secretary Seward on the
Charleston blockade.
Mr. Seward stnted that the plan was not
to iniure the har5or permanently, but mere
Is to help the blockade. 1t would be the
duty of the Government to remove all the
distractions as soon as the Union was re-
stored. The harbor of Charleston was not
inaccessible.
Mr.. Seward was not prepared to say that
as an operation in war. It was unjus'ifiahle
to destroy permanently the harbOr Of an
enemy.
In letter from Mr. Seward to Smith
O'Brien, in response to the latter's recently
profered advice, nr. Seward urges Mr..
O'Brien, il he would promote the cause Of
! America, of Great Britain and of humanity
I at large, to speak and act in every case, and
without qualification, for the American I'm
ion. Mr.. Stewards tone is highly patriotic
/ for Union and friendly feeling towards Eu-
ropean powers. in regard to whom he is de-
( terlnined to stand lways, not only in the
| right, but upon the defensive.

The following IS the report taken out by

Earl Russell in des7 atch dated the 23d
Of ia, uary. TO Lord Lyons. says the Eng
lish Government differs entirely from Mr..
Sewari's conclusions on the question wheth
er the persons taken from the Trent, and
their supposed dispatches were contraband
He argues the point at length. and points
out tie injurious consequences Of such law
For instance, according TO Mr.. Seward
doctrine. a packet carrying a Confederate
agent from Dover to Calias might be cap
tured and taken n New York. and in Ike
manner the Confederates might capture a
Cunard Steamer bound from Liverpool to
Halifax, on the ground that she was carry
ing dispatches from Mr.. Seward to Mr..
Adams. The British Cover ment would
not acquiesce in the capture OF any British
ship in circumstances similar to those of the
| Trent. and in fact of its being brought fol
/ adjudication before the Prize Court though
| altering the character, would not diminisl
4 the gravity of the offence.
The despatch concludes with referenc'
TO Mr.. Stewards declaration, thst if th
safety Of the Union required 1t, 1t would
have been right TO detain the Trent prEon
