GREAT BR1rA1S.-Deputations from reli-
| gioue denominations, including the Congega-
tiolnll Union, the Baptist Union, and the Bap-
December with Earl Russell, on The subject Of
| the threatened war with America.
The English papers continue to tecm with
articles on the American question. They are
mostly confined to speculations: As the
en c se 15sdonq gs qoozsa & to tas
| brig Hendrick and Aida, captured
| BY the B1itlsh in 1777, when she had on board
five officers fot the American army. The
ship and officers were released By the British
admiralty, the judge ruling that although the
officers fran6ly admitted their positions, vet
as they were passengers on neutral slip,
| which sailed from neutral port for another
| neutral port, the proximate destination Of the
| passengers WAS entirely to be regarded rs the
I destination of the vessel, and they were con-
| sequently set at liberty. The Times claims
that this case plainly establishes the principle
| that between one neutral port and another all
| persons and things whatever may be legally
I carried.
The London Daily Neacs, in q letter from
| Hamburg, give. an account of meeting of
| English merchants there, at which Mr. Ward,
! British Charge d Afaires, read paper pur-
! porting to be Earl Russelrs note to Lord
Lyons, in regard to the Trent affair. This
| note is worded with great moderation. It de-
scribes the seizure Of Mason and Sidell in
| Admiralty. It makes no mention Of the
opinion Of the law officers OF the Crown, of
! which the papers have said 50 much, but
simply and explicitly charaeterizcs the cap
ture Of the Commissioners as an infraction Of
| the law Of nations, and an insult to the Eng
lish flng. It declares that the Cabinet at St.
James, considering the cordial and friendly
| character of the relations existing between
England and the United States, cannot doubt
for an instant that the Captain Of the San Ja-
| t!Ako must AhFe lctcd WllnonL authority from
the Government. It then adds that the Brit
lsh Government feels confident that the Gov
| ernnlent of the United States will not hesitate
to take the only step possible under tic cir
cumstances, namely: the release Of the pri5-
oncrs, lnd making at the same time suitable
reparntion for the insult offered to the British,
flag.
Every regiment in the camp at Aldershot
