Yester day we quoted the letter of a correspondent ; inWoodford county, who assured the ; Journal that for the last few days it “ had been quite popular there with the SeutAem tympalhitert, and all loyal'men endorse its course." That is to say, of course, loyal mm in the Kentucky tense of the term u loyal" ' * The - correspondent goes on to “hope to be able to send a good many - new subscribers soon ” —such patrons, we may wellsuppose, being sought - among the ‘ Southern Sympathiser*’ and * loyal men ’ aforementioned. -But ;this flagrant and unblushing evi dence of the Journals sympathies, and their due appreciation in the right quarter, just because it is bold,and unmistakable, is not so mueh to be deprecated as the follow ing from the Frankfort correspondence in a late number ,of the Journal. The writer, speaking of the probable action of the Le gislative Conunittee on Federal Relations, which, he says, “will unmistakably de monstrate the position of Kentucky on national affairs," thus continues: "‘lt will be'Shown that, while she is ready to reaf firm most solemnly her loyalty to the 17 nion and the Constitution, Bhe, at the same time, is resolutely opposed to any action on the part of the Federal Government looking to the enfranchisement of slaves or the weak ening of any State right in slavery as an aim, object or consequence of the war.” Qh this the Cincinnati Gazette very justly remarks: “According to this, Kentucky will affirm her loyalty to the Union, pro vided the consequences of the war shall not weaken Slareqr in any State, but Kentucky loyalty is not equal to the suppression of the rebellion if it is going to result in any injurious consequences to Slavery in the rebel States. We do not suppose that either the'tTbumaJ or the Democrat is atthis-time a very, good representative of the; Union sentiment in Kentucky; if they were, we might.express the general convictionj)f the supporters of the Government that the country has already paid dearly enough for Kentucky Unionism, in the sacrifice of the cause and of the loyal men of Tennes see to her neutrality, and is not disposed to make any new conditions for it.” But the Frankfort CbmmomreaffA, a truly loyal paper,—one that is so, without an ‘if’ or a ‘but’ conditioning its loyalty,—gives (like a skillful, family physician, who has known the idiosyncracies of the patient for many years) the following diagnosis and prognosis of this case : “The editor of the Louisville Journal seems to have argued himself into a porfcct ’ frriuj oyer tbo President’s message,- but, so far as wc hi* diatribes have had. no effed apon any one else. He commenced his.lectures upon a telegraphic mistake, but he is so exorted and elated over his won derful articles that he has not time to dis cover his mistake, and probably, if he should discover it, making tho proper correction would be too humiliating at this, time, be fore the ink in which his denunciations are recorded is dry. We think he had better go ahead, and not stop this side of the Con federate lines.” ’ The Feeling, in England* The little information we have received of the manifestation of feeling in England, in relation to the capture of Mason and Slidell, is not of a very alarming character. The meeting of merchants in Liverpool was the result of tho host excited by the first hews, and was considered ill-advised* when passion had time to coot. The London Pern, which has hitherto stood onr friend, is somewhat violent, mainly because it cannot well afford to appear otherwise, witiiout danger of being charged with too great leanings to American ism* The cool, estate Timet it very quiet end cautious, and does sot commit itself rashly. It even admits that the British Government has established precedents which tell against her. True, it says these precedents were made when England was fighting for exist-’ •nee, juad did then what she would not now permit others to do. Well, am we not in the' same oondltion—fighting for existence*— silting the most gigantic rebellion tho world .ever.witnessed? The precedents would room to be all in our favor. The Times also admits 1 that we should hare been'justified in bringing the vessel in for legal adjudication. If we - had done so, we must have brought Hason and Slidell along, and imprisoned them while the matter was pending. We do not see that the argument helps the case of the Time* much. The matter will doubtless be a subject of protest,' dßd an exchange of notes, and there it will end.' England is not herself clear, and has a had case in her treatment of the rebel steamer Nashville. There is no danger of her increasing her dificulties by rushing into ,a_war with us, and thus indirectly allying ’herself to slavery..

Panic in tbe London Money Market. American Government Baying Salt Petre. The Boarding of the Trent * / STATEMENT OF THE PURSER The parser of tho Trent sends the follow ing letter to the Timet: “ To the Editor of the Times': Sib : I hasten to forward you some par ticulars of the grievous outrage committed to-day against the English flag by the United States steam sloop San Jacinto, Captain Wilkes. You have probably heard how, some three weeks ago, the little steam er Theodora; having on board the Commis sioners sent by the Confederate States of America to London and Paris, ran the blockade at Charleston, arriving savely in Havana. Once arrived there, they, of coarse, imagined* that on neutral territory they were perfectly free and safe from all molestation, and therefore made no attempt to. conceal their names, position and in tended movements. Mr. Slidell, the Com missioner for Paris, was accompanied by his wife, son and three daqghtors,and also by hig Secretary, Mr. G. Euatis, with his.wife; Mr. Mason, the Commissioner for England, being accompanied by his Secretary, Mr. McFarland. It was well known in Havana that berths were booked for the whele party to proceed by this steamer to St. Thomaa, there to join the homeward West India mail steamship for Southampton. They according ly embarked yesterday morning, trusting to receive the ,same,protection under tbe Eng lish flag which they had already received from th&tofSpain. “We left Havana yesterday morning at 8 o’clock. This morning, about half past 11, we observed a large steamship abend, and on a nearer approach found she was hove to, evidently awaiting us. We werb then in the narrowest part of the Bahama Chan nel, abreast of Paredon Grande lighthouse. As soon as we were well within range, we had tho first intimation of her nationality and intentions by a round shot being fired across our bows, aud at the same moment by her showing American colors. Wo were now sufficiently near to observe that all her ports were open, guns run ouV and crew at their stations. On a still nearer approch she fired a ehelLfroma swivel gun of large calibre on her which passed within a few yards of the ship, bursting about a hundred yards to toward. “We iron now within hail, when Cap tain Moir, commanding this ship, asked the American what he meant by stopping his ship, and why he did so by firing shotted guns, coutfary to usual custom. The reply was that he wished to send a boat on board of us. This was immediately followed by a boat pushing off from tho side of the San Jacinto, containing between twenty and thirty men heavily armed, under the com mand of the first lieutenant, who came up on the quarter-deck, and, after asking for Captain Moir, demanded a list of passen gers. As his ‘right of search' was denied, Hie information required was, of course, peremptorily refused. Ha then stated that he had information that. Messrs. Slidell, Mason, Eustia and' .McFarland were on board, and demanded that they'should be given up. This also being indignantly re fused, Mr. Slidell himsef came forward and said that tho four gentlemen named were then before him, but appealed to the British flag under which they were sailing for pro tection. “The lieutenant said, that his orders wero to take them ou board the Sim Jacinto by force if they would not surrender. He then walked to the side of the ship and waved his hand; immediately three more heavily armed boats pushed off ' and sur rounded the ship, and the party of marines who came' , in the first boat came up and took possession of the quarter-deck; these, how ever, he ordered down on the to tako charge of the gangway ports. Captain Wiltiuos, R. N., tho naval agent in charge of the mails, who was of course present during this interview, then, in the name of her Majesty, he being the only person on board directly representing her, made a vehement protestation against this piratical kcL During the whole oT this time the San Jacinto was about two hun dred yards distant from us on the port beam, hor broadside guns, which were all manned, directly bearing upon us. “Any open resistance to such a force was, of course, hopeless, althougr, from the loud and' repeated plaudits which followed Cap tain Williams' protestation, and which were, •joined in by every one, without exception, of the passengers congregated on the quar ter-deck, men of all nations, and from the manifested desire of some to resist to the 'last, / have no doubt but that every person mould have joined heart and tout in the strug gle had our commander but given the order. Such an order be could not, under such ad verse circumstances, conscientiously give, and it was, therefore, considered sufficient that a party of marines with bayonets fixed should forcibly lay hands on the gentlemen named. This was done, and the gentlemen retired to their cabins to arrange some few changes of clothing. U A most heart-rending scene now' took place between Mr. _ Slidell, his eldest daughter, a nobto girl devoted to her father, and , the, lieutenant. ,would require a far more able ipen than mine-'to describe how, with flashing eyes : and quivering; tips, she threw herself in theiioonray of the cabin father was; resolved to deftnd him where her her Itifey till, on theoriier being given to witli the . marines to’advance, Which they did with bayonets pol ntcout the middle of the day, up to thiß assumption of the Federal Government , K ? gl ‘ S ft tuoi ! had ,h ° w ' l has been disallowed The world, generally, O®J ha. refuted to eee in thte disruption and recon- tUfund, w „ fall of one per cent, struction of the Aorth American Republic a From this there was & Reaction of nearly a mere rebellion, We have recognized both re- half per cent., but the iharket closed with a publics as belligerent states.

The many European treaties which refer to this right refer to it as pro-existing, and morcly regulate the exercise of it. All writers upon tho law of nations unani- mously acknowledge it.’ The great Ameri can authority, Kent, treating upon the same subject in his Commentaries, says: The duty of self-preservation gives to belliger ent nations this right. The doctrine of the English Admiralty Cruris on the right of visitation and search; and on the limitation of the right, has been recognised in its fullesbextent by the Courts of Justice in this country.’ So far as the authorities go the, testimony of international law writers is all one way, that a belligerent war cruiser has the right to etop and visit and search any merchant ship upon the high <. “Wequcte these authorities because it is essential Xhat upon a matter so important as that now before us the public mind well iefbrmed. But it must be remeitfbered that these decisions were given udder circumstances very different from those whi<& now occur. Steamers in those days did ppt exist, and mail vessels car rying letters wherein all Uie nations of the world haye, immediate interest were un known. We were fighting for existence, and wedid in those days what we should neither do nor allow others to do, nor expect ourselves' to be allowed to do, in these ’days. Moreover, if we gave full scope to all thifc-.antiquated law. it remains stUl to whether the men who have been* taken froth beneath the -'protection of our fia£ were liable to seisure. They were, dot officers of the.srmy or of the > navy, of the Confederate States. They were diplomatic envoys, wanting only in some, formalities to bc ambasaadors to England and Fronee.
