The Confederate steamer Nashville. We have already published a brief announcement of the arrival of the C. S. steamer Nashville at Southampton, England, the fact having been communicated officially to President Davis. We now have a full confirmation of the news, by the last European steamer. She reached-Southampton on the ng the captain and crew on board the steamer, set fire to the prize and burned her to the water's edge. The "prisoners" were set at liberty on their arrival at Southampton. The Nashville is commanded by Capt. Robert B. Pegram, C. S. N., a native of Virginia and a gallant officer. It is stated that he communicated with Mr. Yancey directly after his arrival at the British port. A leading abolition paper of New York intimates that the Nashville is "fitting out" at Southampton, and may, very possibly, waylay and capture the steamship Arago, making captives of Gen. Scott, Archbishop Hughes, and Thurlow Weed. Another takes up the alarm, and says that "Governm

Commander Pegram wants the Nashville made into a ship-of-war at Southampton, but legal difficulties are raised.

The dispatches brought by Mr. Goodrich--the Nashville. Washington, December 11,--The dispatches brought by Mr. Goodrich, special bearer from our Ministers in Europe, are of the nighest importance. The affair of the rebel steamer Nashville, that put in at Southampton for repairs, had caused the greatest excitement, and was the subject of a diplomatic note from our Minister to Lord John Russell Mr. Adams, on the part of our Government, protested against her remaining, but the British Government had, it was understood, determined to let her complete her armament. Capt. Pegram had arranged for the Nashville a complete gun-deck, which would make her a most formidable war steamer, and she would be allowed to depart without hindrance on the part of Her Maj

Tone of the English press. Seizure of the West India mail steamer by an American frigate — arrest of the Confederate Commissioners. [from the London times of November 28] Southampton, Wednesday.--By the arrival cers this morning of the West India mall steamer La Plata, Capt. Weller, most important intelligence has been received, involving questions affecting the relations existing between this country and the Federal Government of America. The mail steamer Trent, Captain Moisteamer Theodore, which vessel ran the blockade at Charleston. These gentlemen had not kept their presence a secret, as from the moment of their landing at Havana they were unquestionably under the protection of the Spanish flag. Passages to Southampton were booked for them by the British Royal Mail Steamer, which was to sail from Havana for St. Thomas on the 7th inst. on which day they duly embarked on board the Trent as follows: Mr. Slidell, accredited Commissioner from the Confederat

Loss of a large Number of guns to the United States. --A Paris correspondent of the New York Times says: A sad accident has happened to a ship load of guns Colonel Schuyler had lately started to the United States. A cargo of thirteen thousand muskets were put on board the Bremen and New York steamer the other day at Bremen, and this steamer, on its way to Southampton, was disabled, and had to go into the port of Hull, England. The Government at Washington knew, of course, that the guns were on board the Bremen boat, and, since they were already behind time, were anxiously awaiting their arrival. Mr. Adams, therefore, asked of the English Government the right of transit, in sealed boxes, across the English territory, so as to arrive in time to take the City of Washington, at Liverpool. But the English Government refused not only the right of transit, but they refused also the privilege of landing the guns even for transshipment in an English port, and finally refused to

The London Times, of the 5th inst., has another strong article on the outrage, and calls upon the Government to demand prompt and full reparation. We copy the following from other journals: What the French press think of the outrage.[from the Paris Pays of the 2 Nov.] We yesterday received the most serious intelligence. A Confederate vessel-of war the Nashville, entered Southampton, after having sacked and burnt, at the very gates of England, a merchant brig carrying the Federal flag, and the British Government, in allowing her to be armed and repaired in one of her ports, seemed on the eve of breaking through her neutrality. In view of a fact of such a nature, we abstained from all comment, and awaited how details before counselling England not to interfere in family quarrels. To-day it is too late! We learn by the telegraph that an insult so grave has b

United States remember and treasure up for the future this little affair of the Trent. Nor do we suppose that the pacific solution of this difficulty, upon the basis of England's offensive ultimatum, will be without equivalent or compensation. We expect that it will secure a more decent regard hereafter for England's professions of neutrality than she has heretofore exhibited; that such scandalous neutral hospitalities as those lately extended to the piratical steamer Nashville, at Southampton, will not be repeated; and that such commercial ventures as that of the steamer Bermuda to Savannah will cease to be made by British subjects from English ports, under the connivance of her Majesty's government. Granted that these demands of England in this matter of Mason and Slidell were framed for war and not for peace, we have the right to call for a faithful adherence to this peace which has been conceded where war was expected and designed. But we are asked why these humiliati
