Pssoe or War with England.
TbeTress of Tuesday last, contains an
on the above subject, in which
the editor says that until the*aotoal de
maodsmade by England are known, it
would "be little more than guess work to
affipn 'that the - present difficulty will blow
oteror expand into hostilities. Theßrit
ish demands may be more formal than
real, and, if so, of a nature not presenting
serious obstacles to a graceful and honor
able adjustment. If they ask the sacrifice
or.surrender, no matter how slightly, of
our national honor, the country will reject
them, and prepare for battle. There oan
be .no alternative. Saddled though we are
with a civil war, which heavily taxes all
our energies—physical, moral, and pecu
niaiy—a contest with England would be
very popular, and men and money to carry
it .on would be abundantly supplied. If
England has a naval superiority at
wu can raise a land force amply sufficient,
ifitoometo that, to wrest Canada from
the British empire.
Does England desire war? and will
France .aide , with England or with the
United States ? are questions which were
asked in our hearing a hundred times
yesterday. Our own opinion is that ta
king advantage of our being engaged in
PUMing down a Rebellion, England does
mean >to fight or to humble us—as hu
miliated we should be were we to apol
ogise for Captain Wilkes’ haying done his
duty. France, we suspect, would play the
neutral, at first, but, ere the contest had
proceeded far, might try to pay off, with
interest, that little account due England,
since the fatal day of Waterloo. It. is
scarcely possible that France, without the
shadow of a complaint, could unite with
England against us. Indeed, it is said
that 'Napoleon, has offered to act as Me
diator.
Fnus in Charleston.—We have ac
counts ftom the South to the effect thatm
large portion of tho city of Charleston, S.
C., has been laid in ashes. The firo is
said to have been the work of an incendi
ary, coupled with which is the report of a
negro insurrection, and that a free negro
who war arrested had confessed that such
an iusuiTcction was ih contemplation. The
fire broke put on Wednesday morning of
last week and was still raging at fire
o’clock on i Thursday evening. Over five
hundred houses were burned, including
five churches and many of the .most valua
ble buildings in the city. The loss is esti
mated at #7,000,000. We should not be
surprised to hear of negro insurrections
and burning of towns and cities in all parts
of the South, during the next few weeks.
Much as this is to jbe regretted, on aocount
of the women and children, it is the inevi
table consequence of the landing of Fede
ral troops upon the soil of the South, thus
affording a refuge for those negroes who
may choose to burn and pillage and then
run away. Upon the heads of those who
inaugurated the, war will the calamity
eventually fell.
The Rebels in Kentucky are des
cribed «a being in a high state of seedi
ncn. In Camp Beauregard, where 1,500
Confederates are stationed, the desertions
number thrice a day, while those who re
main are shoeloss, trowserless and money
, And U^e: commanders threaten -to
disband the ragamuffins if the “ sinews”
are not speedily forthcoming.
SA.lt is at length folly proven by die
rebels themselves that Mason and Slidell
did oany despatches, and that they were
to other parties ion board the Trent,
T»bd secreted diem, and they arrived safely
in London. This brings the case more

The Revs from Europe.
For several days past the country has
been in a feverish state of excitement
created by late news from Europe. The
Mail steamer Enropa arrived at Halifax
on the 16th inst., after having been de
tained twenty-fonr hours at Queenstown,
to take aboard a Queen’s messenger with
special despatches for Lord Lyons. The
intelligence received by this steamer is of
the highest importance, hut it should be
received with allowance.
The Loh don Times, in alluding to the
decision of the British Cabinet that the
arrest of Mason and Slidell is a clear vio
lation of the law of nations believes that.
Lord Lyons will be instructed, by the
first steamer, to demand reparation, and
if not complied with, will be instructed to
-withdraw the Legation from Washington.
London, Dec. I.—The Observer states
that the Government has demanded from
President Lincoln and his Cabinet the
restoration of the persons of the : southern'
envoys to the British Government.
Yesterday afternoon, after five o’clock
her Majesty held, a privy council at Wind
sor Castle. Three of her Ministers, in
cluding the First Lord or the Admiralty
and the Secretaries of State and War,
traveled from London to Windsor by spe
cial train to be present.
Previous to leaving town, the three
Ministers had attended Cabinet Council
at Lord Palmerston’s official residence.
lute Observer also says that a special
messenger of the Foreign Office has been
ordered to carry to Washington the de
mands of the British Government for
Lord Lyons, and will proceed -£p-day by
packet from Queenstown.
The. public will be satisfied to know
that these demands are'for an apology,
audio insist on the restitution to the pro
tection of the British, flag the persons of
those who were violently and illegally
torn from that sacred asylum.
The Observer adds: There is no reason
why they should not de restored to the
quarter deck of the British Admiral at
New York or Washington itself in the
face of some ton or twelve men-of-war,
whose presence in The Potomac would
render toe blustering Cabinet at Wash
ington as helpless as the Trent was before
toe guns and cutlasses of toe San Jacin
to. It i$ no fault of ours if it should
come even to this.. The arrangements
for increasing the force in Canada are
not yet complete, in a very frw hours
everything will bo settled.
In toe meantime a large ship, The Mel
bourne, has been taken up and is now
being loaded with Armstrong guns, some
80,000 Enfield rifles, .ammunition and
other stores at Woolwich.
It is not impossible that this vessel
will be escorted by one or two ships-of
war.
The rifles are intended for the Canadi
an military, and a strong reinforcement
of field artillery will he despatched forth
with.
The Timet’ city article of the 30th
says: ■
“The position of the Federal States of
America is almost .identical, in every
oommeroial point, with that which was
occupied towards us by Russia before the
Crimean war. Russia had a hostile tariff,
while we looked to her for a large portion
of our general supply of breadstnfis. But
there is this peculiarity in our present
case, that ,the commencement would be
by the breaking up of the blockade of the
southern ports at once, setting free oaf
industry from the anxiety;of a cotton
famine, and giving sure prosperity to
Lancashire through the winter.
“At the same time are shall open our
trade to eight millions in the Confederate
States who desire nothing bettor than to
be our customers."
“At a privy counsel on Saturday, an
order was issued prohibiting the export
xnnn toc" United or cdrrjing
coastwise, gunpowder,
of soda, and brimstone.
The Time* has no hope that the Feder
al Government wilt eonfplj with the de
mantis Aif England.
The Morning Star declares -that the
statement "of instructions having been sent
to Lord Lyons to obtain the restitution of
the Confederate commissioners or to take
leave of'Wuhingion was premature, and
so exaggerated as to he virtually untrue.
The Liverpool’ Courier believes that the
been ordered to Annapolis

Liverpool, . Dec. 2.—The R. M.
steamship Persia, from New York, ar
rived at Liverpool at 8 o’clock this morn

The speculations of the American
press on the San Jacinto affair are ea
gerly canvassed here, and the general de
duction is that there is leSs cause to fear
a rupture between the two countries.
Cotton opens firmer, with some recov
ery in prices.
It -is rumored that the Cabinet is mod
ifying its instructions to Lord Lyons un
der the influence of the Persia’s advices,
and hence the detention of the Europa at
Queenstown.
A Privy Council was held at Windsor
on Saturday, such as was never before
known.
The Privy Council, held by Her Maj
esty on Saturday last, was for- the pur
pose of issuing an order prohibiting the
export from the United Kingdom, or
carrying coastwise, of all gunpowder, salt
petre, nitrate of soda, and brimstone.
The Queen's proclamation is published
in the Loudon Gazette extraordinary.
Boston, Deo. 17.
The steamer Europa arrived here at
four o’clock this afternoon. Within thir
ty minutes after the Europa touched at
Halifax the British steam sloop of war
Binado got up steam and left. It is sup
posed in pursuance of orders from the
Queen’s messenger to communicate with
the Admiral of the British 2iorth Ameri
can squadron. The Sixty-second and
Sixty-third regiments are under orders
for Ganajda. Capt. Seymour the Queen's
messenger and also a special messenger
from Mr. Adams, the American Minister,
left Boston this afternoon direct for
Washington.
The European mails and papers will
reach Philadelphia to-morrow afternoon.
LATEST.
The steamer Jura arrived at Portland,
Me., on the 18th bringing the following
additional intelligence:
The United States Consul at Paris had
communicated to the French papers a
letter from Gen’l Scott in which he de
clares that there is no truth in the report
that the Washington Cabinet had ordered
the seizure of Southern Commission
ers, even under the protection of a neu
tral flag. He is quite ignorant of what
will he the decision of his Government,
but says that it is necessary to preserve
the good relations between England and
America. He hopes that the Govern
ments will agree on a solution of the
question whether the prisoners were con
traband or not. It they were the agents
of the rebels he says it will be diffiult to
Convince even impartial minds that they
were less contraband of war than rebel
or cannon.
In conclusion, Gen. Scott expresses his
conviction that war between England and
America caunottake place without a more
serious provocation than is at present gre
en. The London Stair thinks that Gen.
Scott’s letter will ‘receive a hearty res
ponse in England as a message of peace.
The London Times says that Gen.
Scott, like his countrymen, is rather
inclined to disavow the conception of
the outrage than to repudiate it now,
that it has been done.
It is reported that rebel and Federal
privateers arc crossing at the entrance
of the' English Channel. It is said
that the Admiralty has ordered two
ships to proceed immediately to the
West Indies to act as a convoy to the
West India mail steamer.
The strength of the American navy
is being canvassed in England.
The London Times says, that although
the whole federal navy scarcely presents
a dozen worthy antagonists yet it would
be imprudent in the extreme to despise
the power of the Americans at sea.—
We nave done this once, and paid the
cost of our thoughtlessness. The Amer
icans will do little, but that will be
done well. They will give our heavy
squadrons a wide berth and
their efforts on single vessels.
KsouLaks asv Voi.cj;r**Ra.—The leading
features of Senator Wilkinson’s bill, abolishing
the distinctions between regulars and volunteers,
are as follows;"
Section Ist grants all the rights and privileges
granted to officers, musicians and privates of
the regular army of the United States to vol
unteers of the same grade, and they are tofom
and be thereafter considered part of the regular
army.
Section 2d provides that all volunteer regi
ments of foot, shall be considered regiments of
infantry, and shall be numbered in the same
series at regular regiments of infantry, the old

and the next oldeat 21 at, and so on.
Section 3d and 4th apply the same principles
to cavalry and artillery, reckoning the first vol
unteer cavalry 7th; artillery Ctb.
Section sth relates to promotions. It pro
vides that promotions shall hereafter be made
as heretofore, except that no regard shall bo

giment
Section 9th provides that all commissions is
sued by Governors to volunteer officers shall be
considered the same os if issued by the Presi

From Fort BoyaL
Nkw York, Dec. 17.
A private latter from Beaufort says
the stone fleet had sidled from Savannah
for Charleston in company with a man-of
war. The ships' were to be sunk in
Charleston harbor on Saturday last. Ty
bee Island is now occupied by 1,000 fed
eral troops, who are to throw up batteries
for use against Fort Pulaski, if necessary.
The sloop-of-war Savannah and three or
four gunboats were off Tybee Island.
The steamer Baltic, with 1,000 troops,
had left Port Royal for Fernandina, ac
companied by the Bienville and another
gunboat. *
The rebel, fortifications there consisted
of a battery of five guns maned by from
200 to 300 men. It was believed that it
would fall into our bands after a brief
struggle.
War in Kentucky.
Louisville, Dec. 1:8
Four companies of Colonel Willich’s
German regiment, were attacked this af
ternoon on the south bank of the Green
river, opposite Mumfordsville, by Colonel
Torry’s Regiment of Texas rangers, two
regiments of infantry, and six pieces of
artillery.
Col. Willich was reinforced, and drove
the rebels back, vyth a loss of thirty-three
killed, including Col. Torry, and fifty
■wounded.
The federal loss was eight privates and
a lieutenant killed, and sixteen wounded.
The Democrat has advices that the fed
eral troops were crossing Green river,
southward, all day, with great rapidity.
Effect of PbitatkibiSo. —A New York
letter dated Saturday says;
Tbe Custom' House is scarcely “ earning its
salt” Tbe arrivals from foreign ports bare
been very numerous during tbe past week, it is
true, but they are all empty-baniied, so to speak.
In other words, they bring rich cargoes of stones
only, for ballast, whieb'don’t pay duty, take
the entries for yesterday only, and twenty-three
vessels from foreign ports arrived in ballast.
One would naturally suppose, from this show
ing that our foreign importations had entirely
ceased; whereas, tbe truth is, that while these
continue on a tolerably liberal scale, when the
circumstances in which we are placed at present
are duly considered, about all freights worth
having are given to British and other foreign
flags, not liable to molestation from privateer
ing.
Tub Dead Alive.— Among those who fought
in the bloody battle of Wilson’s 1 Creek, was a
young man named A. J. Sweeney, a native of
Cambria county, who joined the forces in Kan
sas, whither be emigrated in 1860. He received
four balls in the fight, one of which entered his
temple, and his companions supposing him
dead, left him on the battle field. Search was
made far his body afterwards, but it was stated
that he had been hurried, and he was given up
as dead, until a few days since, when his sister,
residing near Johnstown, received aletter'from
him, stating that be was still in the land of the
living, and recovering from his wounds; It
-seems that the rebel army, in gathering up their
wounded, found Sweeny with signs of life in
him, and supposing he belonged to their inep,
took him along and had him cared for. He 1 is
now a prisoner in their bands, and will shortly
doubtless obtain his liberty.
Isspeotios or Arms.— The inspection of arms
and equipments of the troops on the Potomac is
rapidly progressing. Among the members of
Gen. McClellan’s staff specially detailed for this
duty are the Compte de Paris and Due de Char
tres. The latter has recently completed the
inspection of the troops composing the left wing
of the army, and pays a high compliment to
their condition, particularly to the Brigade of
Acting Brigadier-General Kearney, whose Urns
and equipments, he reports, are not surpassed
m cleanliness and good order by those of; any
regulars in the service. The 'French princes
are among the most industrious of the staff of
the General commanding. The tender of their
services having been accepted as a compliment,
they have not been required to swear allegiance
to the Government, and although commissioned
as Captains, they decline to receive any com
pensation. ;
EsaiAsn’s Naval Fohcb The London Pou
sayfr:—“We have in the American waters in
cluding the Mexican expedition, and ships al
ready there, a force amounting to not far short
of one thousand guns, which we could largely
increase with the greatest ease and rapidity,—
In one month we could sweep all the San; Ja
cinto’s from the seas, blockade the Northern
ports and turn to a direct and speedy issue 1 the
tide of war now raging. This is so obvious
that we find it almost impossible to suppose
that the Cabinet at Washington esn commit an
act so madly suicidal as to reject our earnest
and positive demands.” -
Th* Eecbuitimo Buswaas — The business
or recruiting is being redneed to the purpose
only of maintaining the maximum standard
prescribed by law for all the companies and
regiments now in the field. No more companies
or regiments will be roernited in any of i the

SiaoDiAß. AoßiiMMr. —Two Russian offi
cers in Warsaw, Count Lambert and Gertten
xweig, recently got into - a quarrel and could
only settle it by a duel; but as a duel at that
time between two high personages, presented
great inconveniences, the belligerents decided
that one of the two should kill himself the tame

Not many years since, officers and privates were clad in
