TUESDAY MORNING, DEC. 17, IKM, JDuger sCWju.vith Eulaia. "’ffZii Jhpaiw i* , ing for t There is, evidently, of war with that po •■^f ij|pj l jawer > which of all others we ought to o t r be.at:f«tce with. It seems that the British government bad mado a peremptory demand for the restora ' tion of Messrs. Mason and Slidell, and for an ample apology for the insnlt to her . flafci 'Sochtosthe tenor of the telegraphic . '. diipatcbe*. We may. hope that the real . „v facts haye been exaggerated, and that there may be nothing so humiliating demanded of our government, and nothing bat what we v 1 can yieidto withoubcoropromising onr Na tional honor. If Great Britain has mode the demand alleged, in all its length and breadth, wc do not seo Low a war is to bo avoided. Our government has given too many evidences of its approval of-Ahc conduet of Commodore Wilkes to leave a doubt of its policy. It letievcs, doubtless, that wc have interna tional law on our side, and that Oreat Bri tain herself has made, precedents sufficient to justify the capture of the rebelAmbassa , ; don. If the British government has made ? ! a peremptory demand for the rendition of -tho rebel envoys, our government will re fuse to Comply, and then England must back out, or declare war. It is not proba ble the will do the former. ' The consequences 'of her acts were no doubt well-weighed before she decided upon ’ her poliey, and she will be prepared to en force her demand with all her immenso re sources. A war with England would btfa calam- 1 ity at any time. There arc many things. in our mutual relations to render itpainful c to both nations, and disgraceful in the eyes of the world. We are both Free Govern ments j we talk the same languge; we hold to the same Protestant Christianity, and we can do each other a great deal of good in ; : peace, and inflict upon each other immense harm in war, without any compensation . for the loss and suffering. But especially I now a calamity to us, as we are ->.. ; 'oqgOgea in a mighty intestine conflict, ■ - which demands our energies and resources. . ; But we have the consolation to know, that ' •the war, if it does come, is not of our j seeking. took at the foots of the case. One of j our commanders, on his own responsibility, Without any orders from the 'government, j learning that two notorious rebels were on boards British passenger ship,.bound to Europe as Ambassadors,, took the responsi bility of taking them and bringing them into our ports. An examination of inier national law, and of British precedents bearing on the case, led our people, and no doubt our government also, to the convic tion, that the law and precedents were in our favor. The rebels are imprisoned, the conduct of Commodore Wilkes is approved officially, both by the Secretary of the Navy and by a resolution of "Congress. Thus we have gone tofi~far to go back, with- I out such humiliation as no nation can sub-1 mit to without dishonor. To be sure, na- I tions as well as individuals are bound to make due acknowlegdmonts if they hare unwittingly gone astray, and it is no dis honor to do so ; but in this case there is~ much to be said on both sides, and the” weight of British law. authority is on our side. We cannot then yield without dis grace, and without taking the position of a second-rate power. Our Government did 'not 1 seek a quarrel by sending out vessels to seize the rebels, but she finds the case ! thrust upon her, and she deals with it in the ! . best and probably in the only mode she i .could, and as Great Britain did under sim- ! ilar circumstances, and doubtless would 1 have dono now had our positions been reversed. Even the London TVntw, which, during this rebellion, has manifested a very unfair and a very bad temper towards our Government and the people, acknowledges that .they have set the precedents on which our Government has acted. Here is its remarkable language: • •••$ ..“Unwelcome as the truth may bo, it u itsotrthcUu a truth) that we have ourselves established a system of international law ■ Which now tcUfagamat nr. In high-handed ' manner we have in former days claimed >• privileges over neutrals which have at dif ferent times banded all the maritime pow s qn'of the world against us. We hare in x j , -auted upon stopptng (he ships of xoar of neu tral nations and taken British subjects out of , * . ♦ • * * • .' If ..a war thonirises from this affair, it will be ti» fault of Great Britain. It Trill bt evident that she was ready to embrace j£V any occasion which might arise to relieTe ' - herself from the cotton famine trouble, and ; JpTObahlj alsd to take advantage of our civil humble and crash ns. She will ally ... hjtttelf with slavery, and in an everlasting ii . j ■ Jpamm, for hurrying .to seize an opportunity t r v . -to pick a «luarrtlwithuB, when she though* were fail, and that she could fall *■• ’ _ .'upon u* with overwhelniing weight. She "will show a disposition to permanently di- Tide our Union, and to establish a slave holding government; thus whilo.sfce.wsak ,eni us whom she considers as ihe one hand, oto the other she promotes the *’ establishment of a goTcrnment'Whose cor -7 ,nvr -jUmt is founded on slavery, for the • portly ‘ selfish purpose>f obtaining cotton . snd selling goods.
