He striketh his teeth agai ,st much

filleth his canteen with aqua pura.
and clappeth the mouth thereof upon
the bung of whisky barrel, and after
a little while goeth away rejoicing in
his strategy?
T. Much soldering hath made him
sharp; yea, even the seat of his breeches
are in danger of being cut through.
5. He covenanteth with the credulous
farmer for many chickens, and much
honey and milk; to be paid promptly at
the end of each ten days; and 10! his
regiment moveth ON the ninth day to
another post!
6. His tent is filed with potatoes,
cabbage, turnips, krout, and other deli
cate morsels Of dulcet delicious taste,
which abound not in the Commissary
Department.
Z. And many other things not in the

yet of a truth, it must be said of the
soldier of the Kansas First, that of a

his mission of mercy. The lady of the

she held the book with the letters re-
versed, or in other words, upside down.
After the usual courtesies, the minister
inquired of what she was reading

evidently self satisfactory response.

suffering and death of Christ" said the
minister.
"And so that good man is dead, is
he?" asked the matron, evidently getting

cerning the recent proceedings OF Capt
Wilkes, in arresting certain persons on
board of the British contract mail
steamer Trent.
Before receiving the paper, however.
the President had decided upon the dis
position to be made of the subject which
has caused so much anxiety in Europe.
That disposition of the subject, as |
think, renders unnecessary any discus
sion of it, in reply to the comments OF
Mr.. Thouvenel. | am permitted, how
ever, to say, that Mr.. Thouvenel has not
been in error in supposing, first, that
the Government of the United States
had not acted in any spirit Of disregard

equally just in assuming that the
United States would consistently vindi-
cate, by their practice on this occasion,
the character they have SO long main
tanned as an advocate of the most lib
eral principles concerning the rights Of
neutral States in maritime war.
When the French Government shall
come to see at large the views of this
Government and those of the Govern
ment of Great Brition on the subject
uow in question, and to compare them
with the views expressed by Mr.. Thou
venel on the part of France, it will
probably perceive that while it must be
admitted that those three Powers are
equally impressed with the same desire
for the establishment of p inciples ia
vorable to neutral ghts, there is, at
the same time. not lch an entire agree
mcnt concerning the application ofthose
principles as is desirable to secure that
important object.
The Government of the United States
will be happy if the occasion which has
elected this correspondence can be i'm
proved SO as to secure a more definite
agreement upon the whole subject by
all maritime powers.
You will assure Mr.. Thouvenel that
this Government appreciates as well the
frankness OF his explanations as the
spirit of friendship and good will to-
ward the United States in which they
are expressed.

States to exchange assurances of a

pEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON, December Is, 1861.
The Right Honorable Lord Lyons, DC, DC
My LORD: Earl Russelis dispatch OF
November the 30th, copy of which
you have lett with me at my request, is
of the following effect, namely:
Here Mr.. Seward recapltulates the
substance of Earl Russell's letter and
says:
The British Government has rightly
conjectured what is now my duty to
state, that Captain Wilkes acted upon
his own suggestions of duty, without
amy direction or instruction, or even
fforeknowledge Of it on the part of this
Government
No directions had been given him or
any other naval officer to arrest the four
persons, or any of them, on the Trent or
any other British vessel, or any neutral
vessels, there or elsewhere.
lMr. Seward then goes into very long,
and exceedingly able discussion of the
whole subject, reviewing the former acts
and positions of the two Governments,
citing at length from writer's on the law
of nations, which would occupy some
six columns of the Telegraph, and for
which we cannot give space. II contin
ues as follows:
| trust that | have shown to the salts.
/ faction of the British Government, by
very simple and natural statement ot
the facts and analysis of law applicable
to them, that this Government has
neither meditated. nor practieed, nor ap-
proved any deliberate wrong in the

what has happened has been ply al
