WEDNESDAY MORNING, DEC. 18, 18C1.
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.

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

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

The Pro-Slavery presses persist in de

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

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."
