It may bo said, it has been, that to
maintain tho rightfulness of tho act of
Capt. Wilkes, is to set a precedent of pos
sible inconvenience to ourselves heroaficr.
That is to say, it would constr ain us to
acquiesce in tho arrest of an eDcmy B am
bassadors on board of a vessel of our own
navy, of our own ambassador, by a cruiser
of the insurgent Government Beit so.
As to tho insurgent States, wo are compe

Governments, tho United States have
reached a Btago in our history, in which

learned from the exigencies of our oxperi
enca that belligerency has its domain of
rights as well as neutrality.
Finally, in tho enjoyment of so much

in America, wo nave become, as it were,
liberty-mad. Wonowsco,or Bhall soo,
that liborty is not the only nor oven tho

Lot us, on tho cantrary, think only to

that thus, coino what cho may, our beloved

lifo than heretofore, and ready to resume,

of Europo.
To ooncludo, then : In my judgement,
tho act of Captain Wilkes was oue whioh
any and overy sclf-respeoting nation must
and would havo done, bv its own sover
eign Tight and powo r, regardless of con
sequences. It was an- act whioh, it cannot
bo doubted, Great Britain would have
dono undor tho samo circumstances. Att
tho same time, it was an act amply justi
fied by tho principles and doctrines of in
tcrnational jurisprudence. Wu may well
regret that occasion for (he act has occur
red, and that thoseizuro neoded to bo dono
from on board a vessel, and btill moro a
mail-paokot, of Great Britain-, with whom,
for all possible reasons, wo desiro lo oon
tinuo on tho footing of cordial amity. But,
Messrs. Mason and Slidell not having boon
embarked on board of tho Trent by tho
British Government, that Government, as
sueh, has not been offended by tho toiz
lire. Tho Trent, her offioers acting on
their own responsibility, could have no
immunity from tho ordinary laws of war,
which affect tho vessels of a great power
equally as a small one ; and Great Britain
cannot fail, I think, to perceive that, as no
offense was intended to her in tho mattor,
and as tho rights of belligerency wero ex
ercised by Captain Wilkes in tho most
moderate form, without scizuro of mails,
without bringing in as prize, without injury
to privato property, her national prido and
her national honor conspire to dieiata tho
most amicable construction of this inevita
ble act of tho sovereignty and bcligcrent
rijiht of tho United States.
I have the honor to be, vory respectful
ly, your obedient servant,

Gonoral Impatience.
Considerable impaticnoo begins to bo
manifested at the continued inaction of tho
immeuso 1'edcral army at Washington,-
and politicians of tho " on to Iliehmond"
class are importuning the President to or
der an immediate advance. Curiosity it
buttled in attempting to penetrate the plant
of Gou. M'Clellan the best evidence
that ho keeps his owu counsels. Whether
his design is to wait an attact from tho
rebel army, which many supposo it will bs
compelled to make in absolute desperation,
or whether our army will bo soon advunccd
against the enemy or ramain inactive until
Spring, is something concerning which tho
public arc kept in entire ignorance and.
wisely so, for if tho Commander-in-Chief
. tdmuld covutnuaicatc his plans to- tho uu-
j easy politicians in order to allay their np-
