Nor is there anything, i venture to uflirw,
i in the seizure of these rebel emissaries which
| ought t«> receive an unfriendly construction
j from Eugland. Uer statesmenwill not jquui
j tion the legkl right of in. American vessel of
war to r-careh aoy oofnmercial vessel justly
suspected of transporting contraband of war :
■ that right has never boon surrendered by
; England; ii was even guaranteed to her by
tho Treaty of Baris, and llriiish guns frowh
mg down’upon nearly every struit aud inland
| sea upon the globe are conclusive evidence
j that sta* regards this rights one, the efficacy
I of which may be not jyet entirely exhausted.
I Of coarse, there U mufch that is-irritating and
I veiatious in Ihe exerjisfe of flits right under
the mud favorable cirfumstunces, aud,it is to
bn "hoped the day is ntt far distant -when
maritime' States of tjto, wurld-.wtil agree in
placing neutral cdmmt red beyond the reach -of
such voiations. Th<£ United Slates Oovern
ment has been striving to this end for more
than fifty years; end, early in the
present century, aad »n its infancy ar a da
tioo, it embarked in » war with the greatest
naval power in the world, and it i? even nbw
a porsistent «uitoy.al every maritime Conrtjin
Europe for a more liberal recognition of tho
rights of neutrals than of tbo other greAt msr
itimo nations have yet hcon disposed to make.
But unltf those rights arO'secured by proper
international guarantees upon a comprehen
sive and enduring.basU, of course England
cannot complain of nn act for which in all’its
material bearings her own naval history hf
fonls such numerous precedents.
Whether the captive- from the Trent were
contraband of war or not, is a question which
the two Governments can havo no serious dif

cannot satisfy Burl Rih-kcII that they wore, 1
have no doubt Earl ltussell will be able-to
satisfy Mr. Seward that they wfcro not. . If
they were, as all authorities concur in adtiil
ting, agents of the rebellion, it will bo diffi
cult to satisfy impartial minds that they Wero
any less contraband "Ilian' a file of rebel Sol
diers or a battery of hostile cannon.
But even should lltere be' a difference of
..pinion, upon this point, it is very clear that
our Government-had* sufficient grounds for
presuming itself in the right to escape suspi
cion of having wantonly violated tho rclatibns
of amity which the two countries a
deairo to preserve and cultivate. •
The pretence that we ought to have taken
the Trent into port, and had her condeuined
by a I*rue Court, in order to justify our seizure
.f four passengers, furnishes a very naitow
basis on which to fix a controversy between
two great nations. Stated in othor words, on
offcnco woald have been less if il bad boon
greater*. The jrrong done to tho Britisb Bag
would have been mitigated if, instead; of
seizing tbo four rebel*, we had the ■hip,! de
tained all her passengers for weeks, and con
fiscated her cargo. 1 am not surprised that
Capt. WUkca took a different view of hia duty
and of what was duo to tho friendly relations
which subsisted between tho two Govern
ineuts.' The' renowned common sens*
English pcbplo, T hcllevo " Will approvo of bis

DECEMBER 21,
morning,
surrender the advantages which the present
maritime cede gives to a dominant naval
power, of course she will not put herself in a
false position by asking us to do it. In cither
case, therefore, I do not see how the friendly
relations of the two Governments aro in any
immediate danger of being disturbed.
That the over-prompt recognition as bel
ligerents, of a- body of moh, however large, !
so long as thoy constituted a manifest minority
of the nation, wouDdcd the foolings of my
countrymen deeply, I will not affect to deny,
nor that that act, with somo of its logical
consequences that hare already occurred, has
planted in the breasts of mauythosuspicmn
that their kindred in England wish them ovil
rather than good ; but tho statesmen to whom
the political interests of these two great peo
ple am confided, act uponliigner respoosibu
! itics and with botter lights, and you may rest
! assured that an event so mutually disastrous
j as a war between England and America can
i not occur without some other or gTavor prov-

Thcro aecmt to bo a fixed resolution that a
war with England is to he avoided if it can .

I Tho special dispatch of tho Now York
Tribune, of Dec. 19, says :- ' j .
ABUTTAL OF TDK MKRSSNGEtt* PBOM ENGLAND.
Capt. Seymour and’Mr. Adam's messenger
arrived about midnight, in consequonco of a
delay caused by a railroad accident.—-Lord
Lyons has dotainod tho Africa till Friday.
Nothing can, of course, bo known of tho dis
patches till to-morrow, when Jtbo President
will send a message to the Senate on tho tub*
I joct ofnur rotations with Great Britain, which
1 will bo eoniiderod in Executive Session,
j A rumor is afloat that the Govornmont has
i decided to return Mason and Slidell; but we
! arc satisfied, nfter inquiry, that it is untrue,
i The question would not bo docidcd in advanee
I of the receipt of Mr. Adam's dispatches, and
! thero has been no Cabinet meeting sinco yes
i terday. ‘ The Africa witl carry to England a
! dispatch from Lord Lyuns, containing little
» more than the iutidligenco that he has received
• and delivered to" the;"American Government
i | bis insttuetiAns frt>m ! the Foreign Offioe*.
The following special, dispatch to the Now
| ! York TWs, Intimates that the rebel envoys
,—may bo giveli Up':
' 1 THE ENGLISH yUESTION—'ATTITUbU OF THE AD
! MINISTRATION.
,V. '
A Cabinet mooting was held to-day, at
which the English question was diicussed
of course informally, aa the nature of the dis
patches brought by the Royal messenger have
uot been divulged. There was but onusenti
weut, and that was that no quarrel with Eng
land must bo permitted to interfere at this
moment to stay the reduction of the Southern
rebels. The llovcrnim-nt is probably satisfied
that the clamor for a war with England origi
nate* with, and is propagated by, sympathizers
with tbo Southern rebellion- It knows that
nothing would so gratify the rebels ; would so
restore their vanishing confidence, and rein
vigoratu them to redoubled eflbrts at defeuee,
as the nows that England is to be permitted
to come to their rescue. It believes it has
uo right to give new life to the rebellion by
entering upon another aud vaster quarrel,
which would at the smuo time increase ten
fold the burdens upon the people of the Fortin
and it Q&turally hesitates to adopt a policy
which would carry joy tv every traitor
in the country, aud weigh down to pov
erty tbo loyal and Jaw-observing citizen.
But whether tbeseorother consideration.- gov -
em in tho matter, I have the best authority
for saying the, demands of England will bo
mot in a spirit of conciliation, that will at
onco refuto the calumny that Sir. Seward, or
any other member of the Cabinet, has been
eager to provoke a foreign war. Tho intelli
gence received by tho Jura, that the dis
patches with which Slidoll and Mason wero
entrusted reached England, notwithstanding
their arrest,‘renders tho question as to the
disposition of tbo persona ol‘ tho robol envoys
one of secondary moment, and a most inade
quate one on which to base a great interna
tional struggle. It will bo borno in mind
that tho Administration is still uncommitted
on tho Trent business. Tho subject was not
inontioued in tho President's Message; and
the languago of Secretary Welles, in his re
port, and his lottcr to Capt. Wilkes, aro rather
professional thau diplomatic, and in no degree
bind tho Suite Department. Of one thing
the public may rot assured, the subject will
not be settled without an important curtail
ment of tho English pretensions to enforce a
right of search, which she tlnds so unpalata
ble concede to other Powers.
A dispatch to tho Now York Herald says
the President will not give up the traitor am
bassadors under any circumstances, and that
bo is immovably fixed in this purpose.
Dispatches received at Washington stato
that the robots in tho South arc wild with ox
eitement over tho news received by tho Eu
ropa, indicating that England has assumed a
bostilo attitude towards tho United States.
Thoy regard it as an evidence of the intention
of tho quondam tbo seas to take
-np their quarrel, open their ports, and fight
‘their battle. They deceive themselves, as
thoy have done frbm tho beginning.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
Cumsponilcnw of the Pittsburgh Gazette.
WAsmsGToy, Dec. 19, IS6I.
Dear Gazette: —Once more under tie
clear skies of our National Capitol—and
the baggage wagon dumps on tho pavement
the somewhat worn valise which contains,
the “other shirt” and two paper collars
(dirty on ono side) of “our correspondent,”
and also a variety of parcels of bedding,
boxes of jellies (converted generally on tho
road into jam),' bundles of socks, and Ibo
many “comforts needed by our brave vol*»
nntccrs”, which attach themselvcs nowa
days to the otherwise meagre baggage "of
travellers to Washington. Tho. driver, as
he drops the box—carried carefully
side up, remarks that “thei; fnolasecs is
leaking out”—and from the appearance of
his back—a euperficial observer would be
inclined to accept his statement, but as it
is directed to an officer, 1 indignantly reject
the molasses theory, and insist on it being
“preserves, and dismiss him, feeling not
less sticky—bat infinitely tuore genteel.
The little landlady smilingly says “wel
come back,-’ and we pass up the stairway
to our ownToom, feeling tbekiridly influ
ence of a bright face, destroying the feeling
of loneliness that is alWays more impres
sive in a great city, than a wilderness.
A walk to the Department convinces us
that the particular grindstone, upon which
wo wish to sharpen our own axej is not “in
a state of revolution.” Sol saunter back
again toward my room, noting as i go,
those little peculiarities of Washington
City which would seem noteworthy to the
“gentle readers” of the old UoseUe.
Some others beside myself have evi
dently been disappointed this morning, mid
a little experience in this city enables one
to judge by the pantomime without listen
ing to the words. The excited individual
in the great coal who is telling his friends
of the result and initialling unconsciously
on tho Park railing, has “gone tip” decisive 1
There are ho possible chances of his
donning a uuiform, despite of the many
fluttering recommendations brought on from
his native town, endorsed by the postmas
ter and possibly in vague terms by his
Congressman. He feels evidently not so
much grief at his own disappointment, as
sorrow in the knowledge that the country
cannot last when merit is so neglected.
Poor fellow, it' the iron were more impressi
ble it would show him the dents of ten
thousand previous fists all ns irate as his
own.
..is is the last stage of the office-seeking
disease. Tho gentleman who first comes
out with elate step and smiling face, talk
ing softly to himself, is in the first, stage?
and not-having made any positive demand
for position, (being awe struck by an nn
dicnce,) has been dismissed with such
pleasant words that ho feels assured that
at his next audience he has only to - say
what—and the place is his.
The medium stage is the status of the
writer hereof, and delicacy forbids a des
cription. Possibly in a week, l may sub
side through the various stages and at last
take iny friend’s place at the Park railing.
The first Secretary who invented the
railing in tho outer bull which divides this
expectants from those who have obtained
the entree, was a man of mind. Any one
who has gone tlirough all the horrors of an
attempted audience will remember how he
dashes up, on the glow of morning, san
guine of admittance, and confident of the
result, and felt the Brat chill when ho was
encountered at the railing barrier by the
information that there were thirty or forty
cards in, in advance of his own, how he
lingered in the vestibule, which is painfully
destitute of scats, how ho began to feel
faint misgivings of the success of his suit,
even were ho admitted —and standing tip
by the railing began to imagine himself
a criminal beforo the court, and feeling a
half guilty consciousness of having com
mitted some forgotten petty crime:—some
thing rather of tho mean order —liko rob
bing a hen-roost —tho grand consciousness
of being “the people" intending to sec one
of the public servants, —gently ooxing out of
him. Another hour, and the consciousness
of crime—and of being rather on the sneak
urder, generally grows greater, and you
begin to feel extremely doubtful of any
possible success, and suspicious that the
fellow who has just trampled upon your
corns, without apologetic remark, is an
applicant for the same post as yourself.
The throes of a plcbian stomaph that has
been accustomed to a twelve o'clock dinner,
adds to tbe general- discomfort, and if by
any ohance, before two o'clock closed the
reception hours, you obtain admittance,
you feel as though you were dragged in
ruthlessly by tho scruff of tho neck, to utter
a feeble apologetic request for a position
which you had untended to demand. '
Tho score of personal testimonials as to
: your ability and worth, shine with jin un
expected dimness in the lustrous prcsenco
_of the Secretary, and oven tips magical bn
dotSo ment of the President himself, upon
which you so much relied, i-tlaid carelessly
aside, with the jocular remark that—“that
individual has ondorsed so - many persons,
that his influence is gone,' which youtsmile
at, with about tbe Same amount of mirth as.
atfeofled the little joke of the school-tcaohcr, <
: as you ' stood ; before 1 him with outspread
imnd awaiting the ferule, j While yoil Bull

to him’ »hd remind him that theComui nn
der-ln-tCHief made special application "to 1
hint in your favor, and . urge himto say a
few 'words't6 the Secretary, to close the
matter. 'But twO thlngsdetery'ob.'iOne is,
jlik?•» <ui>«
who claimed imd held the right to regulatr
bis owm depaTtmsnt,.afia the, deportment
of the president towards, him" strengthens
lh e supposition. And, bcsides, tlie fatal in

enunat “rkisifyeur EbeueieiT’ to the rtsqiii

you retire, wondering.'whether you'might
