n days before Mr. Seward's dispatch was written, speaks, amongst other things, on the general approval given to the act in Washington, adding even that the interest in the question had become there already exhausted, and that public attention was engaged with other matters. Mr. Seward had been, therefore, in no great hurry to deliver any opinion on the Trent affair, when, in reply to a note of Mr. Adams, of the 15th, he "hastened" to write the note which was to leave by the mail of the 4th of December. By that time, however, there appears to have dawned upon his mind the idea that the outrage on the British flag might not be taken in England very quietly. He had been for a fortnight in full possession of the chief facts of the case. He had been for several days in possession of all the official reports bearing on the act. He could learn nothing more than he knew on the 30th of November, of the circumstances under which Captain Wilkes had perpetrated the outrage. The act of Capt

irely approved by her Majesty. The discretion and good temper you have shown have contributed greatly to the success of our operations. In order to give your Lordship, by a public document, a proof that you have acted strictly according to the instructions you have received, I enclose an extract, annexed to this dispatch, of a private letter addressed to you on the 1st of December last. I am, &c. (Signed) Russell. Extract of a private letter from Earl Russell to Lord Lyons, dec. 1, 1861. The dispatches which were agreed to at the Cabinet yesterday, and which I have signed this morning, impose upon you a disagreeable task. My wish would be that, at your first interview with Mr. Seward, you should not take my dispatch with you, but prepare him for it, and ask him to settle with the President and the Cabinet what course they would propose. The next time you should bring my dispatch, and read it to him fully. If he asks what will be the consequence of his refu

ondence that has passed between the British and American Governments on the subject of the Trent. The more important of them have already been made known through the American press. The additional dispatches which now appear are, however, full of interest, and present the case in some new lights. Following Earl Russell's dispatch demanding reparation, already published, there comes another dispatch from Earl Russell, as follows: Correspondence on the Trent affair. Foreign Office, Dec. 9, 1861 My Lord: Mr. Adams came to me to-day, at the Foreign Office, at 3 o'clock. He said he came to ask two questions which concerned himself personally. I interrupted him to ask whether what he was going to say was by order of his Government, or from his own sense of what he ought to do? Mr. Adams answered that the proceeding was entirely his own, but that he had with him a dispatch from Mr. Seward, which he was authorized to read to me if he should think fit to do so. It appea

ance of M. Thouvenel's dispatch to M. Mercier as I had heard it from M. de Flahault. Mr. Adams said that the French Government had always been very consistent in their maintenance of the rights of neutrals. He added that he could not pay our Government the same compliment. I said I would dispense with compliments if this matter could be amicably arranged. We parted on very friendly terms, I am, &c., (Signed) Russell. Lord Lyons to Earl Russell (received January 9) Washington, Dec. 27, 1861. My Lord: I have the honor to enclose a copy of a note which I have this morning received from Mr. Seward, in answer to your Lordship's dispatch of the 30th of last month, relative to the removal of Mr. Mason, Mr. Sidell, Mr. Macfarland, and Mr. Eustis, from the British mail packet Trent. The note contains a very long and very elaborate dissertation on the questions of international law involved in the case. I have not time, before the departure of the messenger, to weigh the

o remain at my post until I receive further orders. I have the honor to enclose a copy of the answer which I have made to Mr. Seward's note. I have confined myself to stating that I will forward a copy of it to Her Majesty's Government, and that I will confer with Mr. Seward personally on the arrangements to be made for the delivery of the prisoners to me. I have, &c., (Signed) Lyons. [These enclosures have already been published.] Real Russell to Lord Lyons. Foreign Office, Jan. 11, 1862. My Lord: --In my dispatch to you of the 30th of November, after informing you of the circumstances which had occurred in relation to the capture of the four persons taken from on board the Trent, I stated to you that it thus appeared that certain individuals had been forcibly taken from on board a British vessel, the ship of a neutral power, while such vessel was pursuing a lawful and innocent voyage, an act of violence which was an affront to the British flag and a violation of in

measure of destroying the harbor of Charleston, will not in future have much ground for declaiming against the rigor of the maritime policy of its opponents. But, for ourselves, we fear we must endure the nuisance of this smothered warfare in our ports as long as the two belligerents choose to inflict upon us the visitation of their presence. Fair play. To prevent any attempt on the part of the Tuscarora to evade the demands made by the Government, the Dauntless, which lies off Netley Abbey, about three miles lower down the river, has been fully manned and equipped. She has orders to keep steam up, and is brought to by a spring cable, ready to prevent any act of aggression on the part of the Federal vessel. It is also arranged that, should necessity require it, the Dauntless can signal the Warrior, which vessel is lying off Osborne with her fires banked up. A gunboat has also been ordered here from Portsmouth. It is said that the Tuscarora is very badly built, that he

Foreign Office, Dec. 9, 1861 My Lord: Mr. Adams came to me to-day, at the Foreign Office, atm his own sense of what he ought to do? Mr. Adams answered that the proceeding was entirely hidell, I should be glad to hear it read. Mr. Adams then proceeded to read the dispatch. It comferring with approbation to a speech made by Mr. Adams at the Mansion House, and proceeded to noticrd Palmerston in a conversation he held with Mr. Adams in reference to the James Adger. Mr. Sed also to Lord Palmerston. In answer to Mr. Adams, I touched upon most of the points treated owo days before reading to him the dispatch. Mr. Adams asked whether the direction to Lord Lyons tobandoning their doctrine and adopting ours.--Mr. Adams asked me a further question, which he said Ircier as I had heard it from M. de Flahault.

deral Government has done everything in its power to shut the door which, with the view of sparing it humiliation, Lord Russell in his subsequent dispatch was desirous to leave open. The blockade of the Nashville.[from the London post (Government organ) Jan. 13. The Nashville imprudently remains too long, the intelligence that she is refitting from stem to stern flies to America, and, quick as lightning, out comes the Tuscarora to make up for the short-comings of the less vigilant James Adger. The Tuscarora catches the Nashville napping. If the Southern Captain had exercised ordinary foresight, he would have been under weigh within the time at which it would have been possible for the Federal Government to have sent here another ship, after the news of his arrival at Southampton had reached Washington. The Nashville carries, we believe, but two guns, and the Tuscarora nine. The Yankee Captain accordingly anchors in Southampton waters. In this state of things the Nashv

Mr. Seward gives as instances the case of communication to the Confederate authorities by Mr. Bunch; the admission of the Sumter privateer to purchase coal and other provisions at Trinidad, in contra distinction, as he said, to the conduct of every European State, and the arrival in the Southern States of vessels laden with arms and ammunitiohould think it desirable, this dispatch shall be read to me, and also to Lord Palmerston. In answer to Mr. Adams, I touched upon most of the points treated of in the dispatch. I did not think it necessary; however, to recur to the case of Mr. Bunch. With regard to the Confederate privateer, I said that I could not see that our conduct had been different from that of France and Holland, or of Spain. The Sumter had been refused coal from the Government stores of Trinidad, but had been

Having gratuitously advanced an hypothesis, in which international relations of the Federal Government would be simply those of "Bully Dawson kicking all the world, and all the world kicking Bully Dawson," he expresses his regret at the inattention of the British Government to the currents that were bringing the two countries into collision, and then touches on the inference drawn fromDawson," he expresses his regret at the inattention of the British Government to the currents that were bringing the two countries into collision, and then touches on the inference drawn from Lord Palmerston's remarks that the British Government was at length awake to the importance of averting a possible conflict. And then he proceeded to speak of the Trent affair. Would not any sane man, who, a few sentences before, had been speaking of the currents likely to bring the two countries into collision, yet who knew that, from this Trent outrage, a current mighty as the Golf stream itself was then falling from the American shores to England the causes, it not arrested, of certain hos
