Gen. McCooK says: pls ie 9pt
Seeing the superior number Of the enemy

OF settling the contest was to order the Ninth

/ A curious fact has leaked out in some recent
y published correspondence between our Gov
eminent and that Of Great Britain, In relation
to the Mason and sLIDELL affair. Il appears
that our Minister, Mr. ADAMS, on the 10Th Of
December last, stated to Lord RUSSELL, that he
{ Mr.. ADAMs) was authorized by Mr.. SEwARp to
say that the seizure Of MAsoE and SLIDErL was
not authorised by our Government nor recog-
nized BY Il as an official act, and that this was
regardedby Lord RUssELL as q 'suitable apol-
ogy for the aggression" Yet This evidence Of
the probable peaceful settlement Of that "bone
Of eOutentiOn'' Was sedulouslyi kept from the
knowledge Of the British people, and y large
portion Of the Briiish press devoted itself assid-
uously to exciting hostility against this
country.
Though the statement of Mr.. ADAMS was &C.
osptsd ss . 'auitAbls apology y Lord RudsfLL's .
demand for "redrtss" was expected soon to be
complied with, preparations for war continued
to be made. troops in large bodies were shipped
to Csnads, fleet put in readiness for the bonn
bardment Of our Giles, and Lord LroNs was in
structed to demand bis passports and leave
Washington in case there was any delay in
thenegodatlons fer the Immediate surrendsr Of
Mason and SLaDELE. t1ugsAH

cations that an important movement would
som be made on the peninsula, which would
be nothing less than al entire change Of the
position Of Gen NIcClellan's army Informa-
vion is now received that the great body of the
army of the Potomac is about to withdraw
down the peninsula On u ~ lay AMI Tues
= day last, transports, heavily laden with troops,
passed Fortress Monroe, moving up the Ches-
apeake 20 some Of the Virginia rivers. Per
contra, a dispatch from Washington says
>tThose who ought best &c know deny that
there has been q change Of McCl Han $ army
from the peninsula, and assert that he is at his
Headquarters at Har1ison Landing, with his
command. .
4 report comes by the way Of Memphis that
the Cont >derate Generals Breckinridce and
Van Dorm are combining their forces for an at
tac' on New Orleans, AMI it IS believed that
the movement will soon be made.
The Washington National Republican, COM
mentine on the movements OF the army Of Gen.
Mcclellan, says 1.-THE whole movement Of our
army to the Peninsula was 3 clear mistake,
AMI there has been no day since it has been
there when it would not have been wise to have
Withdrawn it. Tt is wise now, aud the country
will rejoice TO learn that it Is at length being
executed 1t is plain as anything can be, that
the advance upon Richmond should be made
upon one line, and not upon two; with all the
hazards Of a failure Of cooperation between
TWO armies. It is equally plain that the ad-
vance should be made from the front Of Wash
ington; so thar the adva1c' ng army may lt2elf
be q protection 20 Washington. The diversion
70 the Peninsula cut our army lnto two parts,
i being indispensable that considerable force
should be left to cover the national capital. Al
this is 50 plain, that it seems idle to attempt TO
1forcc it by any argument, It is nc time to
20 into controversies, but it is proper 10 be
sal that the Secretary Of War steadily resist
ed the movement to the Peninsula, General
Mcclellan insisted upon it, however, and car
ried the point. We shall know, by and by, who
were his military advisers in that particular. -
An advance upon Eichmond in the right way

success may be anticipated Our armies, being
brought together, are vastly superior 10 those
