This apprehension has been unfortunately entirely justified by the violent capture and carrying away of Messrs. Mason and Slidell from on board the neural mail steamer Trent, by the commander of the North American war ship San Jacinto. This occurrence as you will easily believe, has created the greatest sensation in England, as in the whole of Europe, and has not only placed the Cabinet, but also public opinion, in a state of the most extreme expectation.

And the Yankees really believe stuff like the above.
