question is at length judicially decided. The decision of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, in the case of the schooner "Tropic Wind" and cargo, is that war does exist. Referring to the President's proclamation, Judge Dunlop remarks that these facts so set forth, with the assertion on the right of blockade, "amount to a declaration that civil war exists." It belongs, says the decree, to the Executive to decide whether insurrection has grown to such a head as to cohe same questions, will, no doubt, be carried to the United States Supreme Court. There cannot be much doubt that this Court will affirm the decision of the District Court, as it is in conformity with prior decisions of that body, as cited by Judge Dunlop. The civil war appears to be taking the form of a fierce and cruel guerilla war on the borders. That any great and decisive actions are soon to be fought is wholly improbable, and the skirmishes on the borders are useless for any purpose

s about Fortress Monroe--the "Tropic Wind" in Linng again. Steamer George Gum, on the Potomac, July 16. --This vessel is now on her way from Fortress Monroe, leaving Hampton Roads yesterday morning. The Savannah (sloop of war) arrived there yesterday morning from New York, and the St. Lawrence (frigate) sailed from the Roads at about the same time, to join the squadron blockading Charleston harbor. The Tropic Wind (an English vessel) not long since condemned in Washington by Judge Dunlop, for a breach of the blockade, and subsequently released on the application of the British Minister, on the way down to Hampton Roads, was in constant communication with the enemy, visiting various points in their possession upon the river, and transporting their men, (including a colonel) for them between those points. General Butler learning the fact has again seized her for a second breach of the blockade — for rendering assistance to the enemy. There are no batteries at Mathias'

which his interrogator replied, calling him by name: "You're a coward, sir." cannot be Relied upon. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says: There are military men, of European experience in war, who say that those who have been part and parcel of the route from Bull Run, cannot be relied upon hereafter for offensive operations. the schooner Tropic Wind. The London Shipping Gazette of the 8th, grumbles not a little at the recent decision of Judge Dunlop, confiscating the British schr. Tropic Wind, for breach of the blockade.--The editor hopes the Supreme Court, to which the case has been carried, will reverse the decision, because to "press the law of blockade so promptly and severely against the shipping of a friendly power, is a species of sharp practice which is unworthy a great maritime power, and would be quite as well avoided in these times, when all nations within the circuit of civilization are agreed upon the propriety of exempt

earned from private sources we understand the difficulty to have resolved itself into the following from: The retiring ministers left for Vera Cruz, and immediately gave orders to the naval squadrons of their different Governments to concentrate at that place and at some point on the Pacific side, when it is designed to seize all the Mexican custom-houses and appoint officers to conduct them for the different nations claiming debts from Mexico. Under the stipulation entered into between Captain Dunlop, of the British navy, and the constitutional Government of Vera Cruz, Great Britain is entitled to a certain per cent. of the revenue derived from customs at Vera Cruz and Tampico, and it is intended now to apply this arrangement to all the ports of Mexico. It is not intended that Mexico shall have more than thirty per cent., we believe, of revenues, which are to be collected and managed by European officers. Gen.
