Mr. Seward's Treatment of Foreign j-' jti Affair#. . - •. - An inquiry into the remote or proximate causes wblchhave brought about the excite mint in England against t&e United States, will naturally turn the attention to Mr. Sbwasd’4 diplomatic career. Happily his - volumnioos correspondence has' been pub*; lished, and its great ability is only equalled •“br its just and pacific spirit. He almost ■poke as a prophet, while warning foreign nations of the'danger of the complications which might arise out >f this great rebel lion. Hedeprecstes in the strongest terms “the arils of a foreign war," and adds that, for myself, however olhermsc I may at any tiau have bun understood, it has been an earnest aiid profound solicitude to avert foreign war, that alone has prompted the emphatic, and sometimes, perhaps, impas sioned remonstrances I hare hitherto made against any form or measure of recognition of the insurgents by the Government of 4 Great Britain.” - In closing a dispatch to Mr. Adams, our Uinister. to England, in July last, he utters the following most eloquent and pregnant words: . . - I.*' * “I cannot leave the subject without .en dearoring'once more, as l_have so often done before, to induce the British Govern ment to realize the conviction, which I have more thin once expressed in this corres pondence, that the policy of the Govern ment is one that is based on interests of the - greafbst Importance and sentiments of the highest virtue, and therefore is in no case likely to be changed, whatever may be the varying fortune* of tear at home, or ac tions of foreign nations on this subject, : while the policy of foreign States rests' on ' ephemeral interests of commerce or of am , bition merely. The policy of these United States is not a creature of the Government, hut an inspiration of the People, while the policies of foreign States are at the choice mainly of the Governments presiding over them. Ui through error, on whatever side, this civil contention' shall transcend the national bounds and involve foreign States, the energies of all commercial nations, in cluding onr own, will necessarily be turned to war, and a general carnival of the adven turous and the reckless of all countries, at . the cost of the existing commerce of the world, must ensue. Beyond that punful scene upon the seas, there lie, but dimly concealed from onn vision, scenes of devas tation and desolation, which will leave no roots remaining out of which trade between the United States and Great Britain, as it .has hitherto flourished, can ever again spring up.” * Well may Gropt Britain take warniifg! p- We rejoice that our foreign affairs arc .? ' confided to such safe hands in a time like k thisJ We may rest in entire confidence that the honor of the country, is secure. Be. the jj, result what it may, her fgoodf name will re •j main untarnished. The Injustice of the British Prtss. 1 Throughout all their comments, the "whole * press of England aim to chargetho existing difficulty .upon our Government and people. The Americans force the war upon England, they say. This is for the purpose of satis fying the British people, although they know the staCement is false., There has not been the slightest disposition displayed to provoke awar y but the contrary. It cannot be said in truth, that the seizure and im prisonment of the traitor envoys was de signed as an offence to England. All our acts have been in solf-protectiofi, and their object to crush the rebellion. We have de sired above all things to avoid a war with England, and hare striven not to give her cause Of offence. There-has bccnjhuch ir ritation in the American mind, from a be lief that the sympathies of the British Gov ernment were on the side of the rebels, but it amounted to nothing which any generous people could reasonably resent, considering the. existing circumstances in which this country is placed. No, if England is so mad as to bring about a war with this country, impartial history will hold her accountable. She will have forced the war upon iu t under circumstances disgraceful to her honor and her prowess. Her name will be everlastingly coupled with a fight for slavery, in which ah e-will appear ranged on the side of the oppressor. A Lots! Legislature. " Then is eh exemplary tone of loyalty ,*bout the following extract, referring to the recent action ofthe Maryland .Legislature. oc curs .Is A letter from Annapolis to one of the Easters papers, and we are induced to quote it a* a hit of evidence of what may be accom plished in' tome other Border States, a little salutary discipline. The writer says: “ The- Maryland Honse of Delegates yes terday passed a resolution; Instructing the ~~ Committee on the Judiciary to confer with the Governor of Massachusetts in relation to af-1 fording relief to the families of the soldiers ! killed during the riot in this city on the 19th of April.

' WrM; ‘0 Rendition of Slaves--Shamefnl Con- A special despatch to the New York Times, of Dec. loth, make* the following extraordinary statement • “Whenoar troops crossed the river,'pre vious to the battle of Ball's Bluff, the slaves in the vicinity on the Virginia side were of invaluable service as guides and boatmen, in transporting our troops across. -When our troops retreated, two slaves, belonging to a rebel named Smart, residing south of Leesburgh,* and who had thus aided our 'troops,'reached the Maryland side and re mained in our camps, and have been devo ted and faithful servants. On Friday Gen. Stone sent orders to have the two men con veyed across the river underaflagof truce, to be conveyed to their master. The rebels at first refused to receive them, but on as surances being given that Gen. Stone’s only purpose was to return the slaves, they were received and the flag of truce xeturned. On the same day a lady who resides in Leeaburgh was conveyed across.-and if she and the' negroes have not givercfuil and ex plicit information to the rebels of the dis position of our troops, our strength, etc., it is not Gen. Stone’s fault. It*is asserted that flags of truce, conveying sealed dis patches, are passing and repassing the Po tomao three or four times a week at Ed- I wards' Ferry." I Such conduct, as above related, is enough to rouse one universal thrill of indignation. Here are slaves who assisted our troops out, of terrible straits which somebody’s shame ful incompetency led them into, sent back again into slavery, after remaining all this time in the camp, and acquiring just the kind of information the rebels desire. They had been “devoted-and faithful servants. There was no legal demand made for them. Their rendition, as it appears from the aboTC statement, was a voluntary sacrifice to the Moloch of slavery. It was also an act of the basest ingratitude, and of the most flagrant injustice. Gen. Kelly was guilty of a similar disgraceful act at Rom ney j it was charged, and we have never -seen it denied. How long will the Govern ment permit tho feelings of the people to be outraged by such conduct. Gov. AsDREWSj of Massachusetts, has appealed to the Secretary of War to stop this shameful' conduct, and it was high time. Mr. Cameron will see That justice is done, and if he removes Gen. Stone from all command, he will not more than satisfy tho country. A writer in the Boston Tran script comments bitterly on tho conduct of Gen.SioSE/and says: “Ho iB known to be in high favor with the Maryland Secessionists. These fel lows express the greatest confidence in -Gen. Stone; and why should not they? He 1 orders the troops under his command to obey and observe the laws of Maryland, which forbid the harboring of fugitive slaves, protects known traitors who have been arrested by subordinate officers for making signals to the enemy, and when brought before him havo been discharged, with a .reprimand to the officers making ejach arrests; sends back all negroes found fn the camps to whoever claims them; and to crown his recommendations to their favor, has needlessly, foolishly, criminally, ordered our Massachusetts troops to una vailing slaughter.” We hope Congress will hurry up its in restigations of the Ball’s Bluff disaster, [t is time. A Way of Escape from War Suggested. The London Times, of the 28th Novem ber while speaking of the position taken by the law-officers of the Crown in relation to the Trent difficulty, makes the following statement: “It is, we understand, the opinion of those jurists, that the right of the Federal Government, acting by its officers, was con fined to the visiting and the starching of ike mail packet; that if any men or things be lieved to be contraband of war has been found on board of her, tbo proper course was to take her into port and submit the ques tion to the Prise Court, which would hear evidence and argument on both sides, and would have decided the case according to precedent and authorities.” • The New York Time* sees in this a plau sible mode of escape from the difficulty without dishonof to any party. It says • “If this is a true statement of the posi tion of the Government, it divests the case of many of its difficulties. It reduces the offense of Capt. Wilkes very materially. It admits his right to visit and search the ship, but insists that he should have taken her into a Prize Court for adjudication. We are by no means sure that our Govern ment t oill not concur at once in this opinion. Indeed, the only official utterance we have yet had on the subject leans decidedly in that direction. The Secretary of the Navy, while commending, in the warmest terms, ' the spirit and patriotism evinced by Capt. Wilkes, complains that he did not take tiie Trent-herself into a neutral port, and only forcbore to censure him for this omission in riew of the peculiar circumstances of the case. Neither the President, nor any other member of his Cabinet, has expressed any opinion on the subject. Indeed the Gov ernment could not properly take any action upon it until, it should be officially brought to its notice by the action of the British Government. While it is altogether proba ble that this will be done in aTery decided and—peremptory manner, we are not pre pared to regard it as certain that our Gov ernment will be required instantly to con cede a mooted point of law under the men ace of war. Still less do we believe that, unless Great Britain has already resolved upon war, she will accompany this demand with any demonstrations which should look like forcing us into any other tb&n a per fectly free and voluntary course of action. If she does she will probably be required to disavow any such purpose as an indis pensable preliminary to any negotiation whatever upon the subject. “If this preliminary difficulty shall not prove forinidable, and if the paragraph quoted above states position of the British Government correctly, it is scarcely possible that this difficulty should lead to war. The substanf ial fact of Capt. Wilkes’ action is not objected to: —and we may. 'very well concede the point made by the law officers of the British Crown, without surrendering any substantial national right." • A good deal wiUTdcpcffd upon the nature of the'demand of“ England. If it is couch* ed in imperious and absolute terms, our ‘Government must refuse it without ques tion, But if it should be only a demand for adjudication, wo see no good reason for refusing it. Let it go to Court, and be there settled on the principles of law. The long-gowned gentlemen will take time dnough, and we shall bare leisure to crush out the rebellion, and England time enough to cool, before a decision is made. It would ; bo a happy thing if all disputes coaid be tied up in chancery. Eloquent Speech by Mr. Conway. The speech of Conway* of Kansas, in the House on Thursday, was heard with unu sual interest. The incompatibility between Slavery and good Government was never monj-cicarly exposed or more sharply de fined. According to him, Slavery must cease to exist boforo we can hope for per jmnenijfeace. Theso views are the more important becauso Conway »ii a Baltimo rean bj blrib'who has kept 1 up his Inti macy with Maryland affairs.

Meanwhile, the first i and most pressing of oar duties is to finish the rebellion and the blockade at once, by em ploying the promptest and most efficacious means.’’ ~~ The New York World thinks the matter will result ia a prolonged negotiation, and “If our Government ia of opinion that the arrest was legally justifiable, the coun try will stand by it with perfect unanimity and immovable strength of determination in its decision to face any consequences that may arisej But, on the other hand, these consequences may be so grave that the nation expects the President to be as -careful not to refuse any just apology (if any be due) as he is firm in his refusal to make one that England has no right to de mand." The h'ew York Herald thinks war will not grow out of the matter. Its closing . paragraph is: “Meantime we are confident that this Mason-Slidell affair, without interrupting our relations of peace with England, will have a great moral effect in favor of our Government and our cause throughout the European continent; but if England is de termined, in spite of her own code and long practice, to make demands upon this government such as indicated in the Lon don Observer, the must of course assume all the responsibilities of a war between the two nations. It will not probably enter tho mind of a single American, for a moment, even after reading the news in our columns to-day, that Mason and Slidell will be sur rendered to the English government. The Philadelphia North American is full of pluck: No one in the United States would for a moment dream of an official apology for the arrest of Mason and Slidell, and any administration daring to apologize would be indignantly denounced by the people. Some exaggerated report of the manner in which the British mail steamer was stopped, may have served as a basis for a demand of apology as to a supposed outrage on the British flag, but as to a demand for the res titution of the rebel envoys to_ British pro tection, we cannot believe that possible un til further advised, much less can we crcdk that a naval .force has been ordered to com pel any such absurd demand. The Philadelphia Press says that what Capt. Wilkes did was justified by the law of 'nations, and by British precedent, and adds: Under snch circumstances, we hesitate not to say that, sooner than humble the nation by yielding to the insolent demand of imperious and faithless England, we shall yield to the last necessity, and battle with her on the question. We beat her on the sea over forty years ago, and with a just cause and God s help, have no fear for the result. For the cause of national honor, Ve arc rftady, as a nation, to risk life and property —to sacrifice all except the true dignity of the nation. Col. John Cochrane, Again. A flag presentation was lately made by Gov. Curtin to the 23d Pennsylvania Regi ment. They had a great time. Senator Cowan presented a sword to one Captain, and Representative Hendrick B. Wright, of this State, presented another, and took oc casion to protest against making the war one of subjugation, or waging it on other principles than those of the President’s proclamation, for seventy-five thousand men—the primary object being to restore the Union as it was. A banquet followed, ''and a toast to Simon Cameron was drank with acclamation, and John Cochrane, in responding, took occasion to answer Wright. He wanted the Union, not such as it was, but such as-k ought to be. He wanted the war prosecuted in earnest, with the use of all the munitions for war, of all kinds what ever. Tho Secretary had indorsed him, and he indorsed the Secretary. That’s*right. Go ahead Col. Cochrane, the country.will sustain you. Cairo and the River Fleet. All is bustle and animation at Cairo, pre paring for the great river expedition. All the gun-boats and mortar batteries, are now assembled, and the place is full of sailors and naval officers, and looks like a seaport. We take the following items from a letter dated Cairo, Dec. 14.: The utmost. activity prevails here, and last night the town was filled with exciting rumors of an anticipated attack from the rebels at Colnmbus. Yesterday afternoon, a large balloon was seen in tiic air below Bird’s Point, which undoubtedly had rebels in, reconnoilering. Although we do not really fear an attack, yet as the rebels are growing bolder, our officers are on the ytri eree, and use all vig ilance. Last evening it was reported that the pickets of Fort Holt had been fired Upon. There is something in the wind. Ail officers were ordered to hold their com ; mands in readiness and to keep them in camp, while five large steamers are kept fired up at the levee, ready for transporta tion of troops at any moment. A flag of truce went dowa near Colum bus yesterday, but for what purpose has not transpired. On Wednesday last, Company H, 11th reg iment, CoL Wallace, went ont to cut some wood to Charleston, and two of them were captured by Jeff Thompson's men. Are port came in that the whole company were capturod. Colonel Oglesby immediately sent in pur suit a battalion of the Bccond Cavalry, under command of Major Mueld, and a battalion of infantry, under Licut.-Col. Frank Rhodes, of the Eighth. They overtook the rebels at Bertram, and completely routed.them in an impetuous charge, killing twelve and capturing six teen prisoners. One of our soldiers, named Clarke, of Company B, Second .Cavalry, was killed. No other loss on our side. The two prison ers from our side wore retaken by Colonel. Rhodes. The prisoners were brought into Cairo. Ou Thursday .a grand review of the troops took place, which was a splendid spectacle, and reflected high credit on.our, army. Over six thousand infantry were in line,, and fifteen hundred cavalry, together with several powerful batteries of flying artil lery. Their evolutions, countermarching and martial appearance elicited unbounded praise. The troops were highly complimented by General McClernand on their discipline and drilL CoL Logan leaves for to be What the Rebels Do. The Pro-Slavery presses persist in de nying the well established fact that there are companies and Whole- regiments of negroes in the military service of Jeff. Davis's Confederacy. Yet the proof that such is the fact accumulates daily, so that none but those who are determined not to see can entertain the slightest doubt. Here ia evidence in point, copied from a letter dated New Orleans, September 25, 1801, written by Thomas Luun, and published in The London Herald of November 16. The writer is an Englishman, from the town of Bury: “There are 260 Yankee prisoners expec ted here *bis evening, and- there is a regi ment of blacks detailed to escort the Wortham gentlemen to the prison. That will be an henor to them." Steamboat Loss. —A letter to the Cin- cinnati Commercial, states that the steam boat Sam Montgomery, in the government service, struck a snag at the Devil s Elbow, below Commerce, and went down imme diately. She is evidently, from her bent appearance, broken in the ccutrc, and can not be raised. But part ol her guaids are out of the water and she can be easily wrecked and her machinery and furniture saved. Her loss is computed at about $90,- 000, on which there is no iusurance, as offices will not insure boats in the Govern ment service. Much regret is felt by all at the heavy pecuniary loss ot the worthy captain and officers. No lives were lost. Capt. Montgomery has gone up to sec what can be done with her. Tnx Feeling at Washington. —A despatch to the Now York Commercial AdvcrtUer says : “ The excitement which was first caused by the somewhat belligerent tone of tho Europe an nows, is rapidly subsiding, and there is a general belief that war with Englaud can bo easily avoided without dishonor. a'The President, it is known, is strongly opposed to tho adoption of a warlike policy against any foreign power under the present circumstances of the country."
