The Geneva Arbitration.

New YoRK, August IA special
from Geneva says the Tribunal Of Arbl.
tratlon has required argument on three
points; First, Due diligence as the prin-
Ciple Of law. Second, What was the
value OF the commission held by the Con.
federate cruisers, and how far did they
entail the responsibility upon England
when they entered her portsg Third,
How fur did the coaling OF cruisers in the
English ports make England responsible
for their acts. These points have been
claborately argued by ROUNDED Palmer,
and by Messfs. EVarts, Cushing and
Waite. The feet that the Tribunal an
alyzes the cases, as is seen in these points,
is strongly favorable indication.
GENEVA, August 12.-Cohen, the Eng
lish minister who prepared the case for
the Crown on the subject Of the American
claims for losses TO mercantile and marine
Of the United States has been summoned
here from London. This gives rise to the
conjecture that the decision had been
rendered upon the general question OF
England's responsibility for the direct
losses claimed by America. BEr. Cohen
is called in TO assist in arguing upon the
amount Of damages to be awarded. In
debate in the tribunal upon the question
of the United States, and due diligence
byGreat Britain, Gushing strongly urged
the point that the same diligence on the
part of the British authorities which
afterwards served to detain Confederate
rams would have been equally effective
IN preventing the escape OF cruisers had it
been exercised.

CLEVELAND, August 12.-The Leade,
will be published tomorrow. The fol
lowing letter, written by Dr.. Mense
editor Of the Cleveland Anzeber, to the
Leader, DR.. Csrisisus, who during the
rebellion Of our Southern secessionists
was our United States Consul in Vienna
the capital Of the Austrian Empire, has
given evidence in his recently published
letter TO the fact that the Austrian and
Prussian governments sold arms of every
description to agents who forwarded
them TO the rebels. Now at the time
when there is so much talk by COO
scheming liberals about our "sale ol
arms to France, l feel obliged to say what
| know about the sale Of arms to tht
Southerners at that time, the legal
ity Of which was never doubted by
the Germans who, long as they had a hand
in 1t themselves, were content. In july
or August, 1862, ! made q trip from Bre
men TO Hamburg, and met in the dill
gence, or stage.coach, q personal friend o
mine-a First Lieutenant SieIert, OF the
Bremen Hanseatic battalion-and his
brother.in.law, q Mr. Borntraeger, a com
missioned Landwehr officer, Of Dussel
dorf, Prussia. In the course OF our con
versation they told me that they were go
ing to Hamburg in order to send cargo
Of muSkets, bought from several German
Government arsenals, to the Southern
States. This fact Is still frest
IN my memory, because q dispute aros(
between US over the question whether
such q transaction, carried out by military
officials, could be considered Legitimate
business, the rebels being no scknowl.
edged belligerent power. The last
heard Of this sale was rumor that the
above named officers had had the wors
otit-that Is, had met with heavy losses
It Is, however, beyond my knowledge
whether the secessionists ever received
those arms or not.
