s. Others high in authority in diplomatic quarters assert that the arrest will be fully acquiesced in by the British Government, and therefore, there need be no cause for alarm. Per contra, the secession element here, which now and then shows itself, is jubilant over assumed declarations of Lord Lyons, and confidently predicts that he will soon demand his passports, to say nothing of the imminence of a war with England. The New York Times publishes the following special dispatch from Washington: No new aspect of the Slidell and Mason case is presented. Our Government has expressed no formal opinion on the subject, because there has been no occasion therefore. Any diplomatic correspondence on the subject must be initiated by the English Government after the Captain of the Trent has reported his case. It is a mistaken view to suppose that England could, under any circumstances demand the release of the prisoners, as the question involved is not the guilt of the parties but

ed in that article " that we have not already at least the beginning of a navy." There seems to be, and very properly too, an evident indisposition on the part of the people to advert in a spirit of complaint to any action, or want of action, in any of the departments of the Government just now. The general sentiment of the public appears to be a willingness to entrust to the great statesman at the head of affairs the entire management of the whole public interests. Since the days of Washington no public man has possessed the confidence of the people in such an unlimited degree. And no one could be more deserving of that confidence. It is, however, obviously impracticable in times like the present for him or any other man to scrutinize the multifarious operations of the several Departments. It would be manifestly improper, therefore, to intimate a reflection upon him for any inefficiency in the Naval or in any one of the other Departments of Government. It may, moreover,
