the permanent Importance Of settling belligerent
rights, and the necessity for England agreeing to
the American doctrine relative to private prop

Mr.. Bright, in speech at Birmingham. de-
MED that the American blockade was Ineffective

The Queens speech makes the following aIlu.
sion TO American affairs
Her Majestys relations with 'he European
powers continue TO be friendly and satisfactory,
and Her Majesty trusts there is no reason 10 ap-
prehend any disturbance Of the peace of Europe
A question of greatimportsnce which might have
LED TO very serious consequences, arose between
Her Majesty and the government of the United
States being the seizure and fsTcibe removal Of
four passengers from on board a British mail
packet by the commander of a ship-of war
OF the United States. That question has
been satisfactorily settled by the restoration
OF the Passengers, to British protection, and by
disavowal by the United States Government of
the act Of violence commenced by their naval Of
hcer, the friendly relations between Her Majesty
and the President Of the United States are there
fore uuimpaired.
The wrongs committed by various parties and
successive Governments in Mexico, upon for
eign residents within the Mexican territory, and
for which no satisfactory address could be OBJ
tanned, have led to the conclusion of a
convention between her Majesty, the Emperor of
the French and the Queen Of Spain, for the
purpose of regulating combined occupation of
the coast Of Mexico with view to obtain that
redress which has hitherto been withheld That
convention and papers relating to that subject
will be laid before you.

SKETCH or THE CUMBERLAND RIVER this
river Will doubtless become one Of the important
features Of the campaign during the next few
days, We give short sketch of IL. The Cumber-
land river is one OF the largest afiuents Of the
Ohio. IL is very snakelike and circuitOus in its
course. IL rises in the Cumberland Mountains Of
Kentucky, near the southeastern portion Of the
state, and, flowing westward and southwark past
Somerset and Mill Springs the recent scene Of the
defeat and death Of Zollicoffer, enters Tennessee
between Jackson and Overton counties After
making an extensive circuit through Middle Ten
nessee, passing IN It's course Carthage and the
city OF Nashville, II turn towards the northwest,
and again enters Kentucky about ten miles to the
east Of the Tennessee river. BetweeR Nashville
and this point IL passes Clarksville and Dover
the former the point TO which Commodore Foote
has gone with his feet, and the latter the scene
Of the recent battle and capture Of Fort Donelson
Its course, after entering the State OF Kentucky,
is nearly parallel with that OF the Tennessee river
until IL enters the Ohio at Smithland. The whole
length OF the river is estimated al about six hun
dred miles During high water large steam boats
ascend 10 Nashville and small boats about three
hundred miles further. About fourteen miles
from Williamsburg, In Kentucky, near the Cum
berland Mountains the river has a vertical fall Of
sixty feet. The area drained by this river Is esti-
mated at seventeen thousand square miles.

The LAST AFFAIR AT PENsAcoLA.-A reporter
at Snip Island furnishes the following items Of
Intelligence concerning the last engagement be-
tween Fort PIckens and the rebel batteries, gath
cred from naval officers who witnessed the affair;
On the eth Of January party OF refugees, whites
ana blacks, male and female, numbering some
fourteen persons, made their escape TO santa Rosa
from Pensacola.
IL the statements Of these people are TO be cred
ited-and there is no reason 60 doubt them-Gen.
Bragg was not present at the commandment hsv-
ing gone TO Mobile on Official business. When
the firing was com nenced he was telegfsphed 20
return, and arrived at bis post about three O'Clock
the next morning at which time the rebels ceased
firing.
Gen. Bragg is represented as being greatly en-
asperated at the of1cer who was left In command
Of the Confederate forces for firing upen Pickens
when Gen. Brown fred at the steamer at tho
navy yard, there being a perfect understanding
between the two Generals that vessels Of any
kind were allowed TO visit the navy yard, or the
wharf at Fort Pickens, and that whenever they
did so they were expected to be driven Of, with
out mourning a general engagement
The steamer which visited the navy yard on
the day Of the bombardment was not in the Con-
fsderate service, but contained party OF tipsV
young fellows on an excursion When fred upon
they steamed away, waving Secession flags and
uttering derisive shouts and laughter
The refugees report that the hrst shot from Fort
Pickens lodged in the battery near the light
house, dismounting one gun, killing six men,
besides wounding a large number of others.
They also stated that several wagon loads Of dead
rebels were carried out Of the batteries and buried
but this needs confirmation.
There seems 10 be a great deal OF trouble and
dissatisfaction among the regular soldiers Of the
Confederate army. While the volunteers are full
Of fight, and ready at all times for brush, the
regulars are showing signs OF discomfort. The
people are also represented as being dissatisfied
with the condition Of things, and anxious to get
out Of the scrape into which their own folly has
led them.
A short time before the bombsrdment Bragg
made speech to his soldiers, telling them that
the Yankees were going 10 hberate the slaves,
and that rather than the negroes shsuld fall into
their hands he would shoot them all.
The building in the navy yard which was de-
strOyed contained all the naval stores and sup
piles for fitting out vessels and its destruction,
together with It's contents, will put a stop, for a
tiTe at least 10 all naval Operations at Warning

Complaint having been made by Gen. Lander
of the misconduct Of an oficer under his COM
mand, and the matter referred to the Secretary O,
War, the following instructions were given:
" III General Lander Is satisfied that Col. Am
sanzel was guilty of cOwardice, or misbehavior
before the enemy, ne may be tried on the spot
and If found guilty, sentence of death may be
executed on the spot; or he may be cashiered by
his Commanding General at the head Of his re.
giment.
1.-The former course is recommended as the
preferable one. Cowardice in an officer, exhib.
tied on the field Of battle, should receive the
swift punishment of death.
