 We have no need to invite attention to the a. tremely interesting foreign news which we pu,- fish to-day from England The old British lion is giving an honest roar in view of the indigni ty visited upon the Queens flag. The measurea i ofthe ministers have bceu in full accordance with the indignation of the people, and the fullest end broadest demand has been made for imms. diate and adequate apology and reparation. We will not disturb the eloquence of such 1 facts by words of comment. We will only say, l We'll done, John Bull Overbearng you some- | times are, but craven never.
 France, too, it seems echoes the British in- dignaton, and will support her action. Vive Napoleon ,.
 It now remains to be seen what Lincoln will do He has to choose between bold fighting or disgraceful running-that is evident In either case he is ruined. After the brave talk and tho congratulations to Wilkes, by both Cabinet and Congress, it would be to the last degree pusil- luminous to retreat. We think Lincoln will be afraid to prove so great coward.
 We are happy to see it stated that bold def- ance prevails at Washington, Bravo! The Now York Tunes. indeed, from which we quote, while tremblingly admitting the imminence of war, hopes that the way of sesfeat is not dsesed up against Lincoln. But the Philadelphia Esey~. CT is more courageous. It says that the demand of the British nation is evidence of hostile feeling and declares that Mir. Lincoln is bound to meet 1t with porcmptory refusal. It says that the demand is an outrage, is intended as an insult, and is only preext for hostilities It calls for pushing operations against the rebels with greater vigor than ever, in anticipation et speedy war with England.
 We trust that Lincoln in punishment for his sins, will have a brave heart given him for . little while.
 The only possible hope expressed on either side of the Atlantic of preserving peace between 1 Lincoln and England is based on the possibility that Lincoln will put his mouth in tue dust.
 We learn from the West that the tribes or the Nations west of Arkansas are proving rather uncertain reliance for the Confederates. Albert Pike, Major Cooper and other white rebels who had influence over the red men, induced them to enlist in the rebel cause early in Summer. But the Indians have now found out the deceptious practiscd upon them. and 8 large part of them have declared war against the rebels, red and white. We are already apprised of a battle in the Cherokee country, in which Cooper himsels has fallen, and Mcintosh, | halfbreed leader, al. so was killed There is a large family of McIn. toshes in authority i The Creek Nation, and if is is the big old chief Aimself, there Secession- ists have lost their ablest and worst man. This fight will not have much influence on Beaurs- gard's army, but t will give relief to many p;. S"~S~ s'A SSasssSAA AAAlc<.ce WuO was threatened by assaults from these rcd rebels. -

Englshn,an, formerly editor of the New York Journal of Commerce., has been commissioned as acting Secretary of State during the temporary absence from Richmond of the Hon. E. NJ. T. Hunter.

 Gen. Magruder is still according to the Nor folk correspondent of tho Richmond Dispatch, hourly expecting an attack on the Peninsula.

 The Richmond Dispdtah berates "the vam- piFes who are sucking out the lits-bloOd of the nation ruled by Jeff Davis" and doubts tiffany age of the world has witnessed a spectacle like that now complained of by our own soldiers, growing out of the difficulty of obtaining settle. ments which has led to the establishment of off, ces in. this city, where they go and have their claims shaved and cashed."
