e the sailing of the Nashville, two members of the British Parliament were in diplomatic communication with Jefferson Davis. One of these gentlemen denies the charge, but admits that he carried open letters, which only serves to strengthen on the first impression in regard to his visit to the rebel capital. The recent declarations of British journals and statesmen in favor of a permanent division of the United States into two Confederacies, corroborate this view of the mission of Sir James Ferguson. And in the news by the Glasgow, which we published yesterday, it was stated that Mr. Lindsay, M. P. at a public meeting in Sunderland, said that in consequence of the impossibility of procuring a present supply of cotton elsewhere than in the Southern States, "he considered it the duty of the British Cabinet to endeavor to induce the Federal Government, in the cause of humanity, to remove the blockade.

the Mississippi; for the action took place on Friday. The Nashville sailed the same night and could have had the news by telegraph.--But in order to make assurance doubly sure, and that the intelligence might be transmitted at the same time by the regular mails to Europe, so as to reach there about the same time as the Nashville, the military authorities at Norfolk made some excuse for sending a flag of truce to Fortress Monroe, in order to have a local paper containing the dispatch of Capt. Hollins forwarded to Baltimore, whence it found its way to New York. It is worthy of remark that on the occasion of the Federal victory at Chicamacomico the Norfolk rebels searched all passengers, and would not permit a newspaper to come North. But whether founded in truth or not, the report of the naval engagement at New Orleans has produced a temporary effect here and is likely to do the same in Europe. Connected in the public mind with this news is the announcement that, just before th

to the Governors, which would not create alarm. What weight there is in these objections we shall shortly see. Meantime let us inquire how is it that this letter has produced such remarkable effects. It is because the public mind was in a feverish state, susceptible of excitement. The news comes to us upon the very heels of the announcement that the steamer Nashville has effected her escape through the blockading fleet at Charleston, and was on her way to Europe, having on board Ex-Senator Slidell, as Minister to France, and Ex-Senator Mason, as Minister to England, from the Confederate Government--two wily diplomatists, well adapted for the mission on which they have been sent. The moral effect, indeed, of a rebel vessel of war conveying these plenipotentiaries to Europe, in the teeth of a blockading squadron, will necessarily be very great, furnishing as it does powerful evidence to demonstrate the inefficiency and consequent invalidity of the blockade. To enhance that e

likely will be the powers of Europe to attack us, and it will be far easier for us to settle our quarrel with the South. But if we continue to leave our frontiers and seaports exposed, in the face of their immense naval preparations, we only court danger and invite its appearance. The following are the comments of the Washington correspondent of the New York Herald on Secretary Seward's circular, which we take from that paper of the 18th: "The letter of Secretary Seward to Governor Morgan points, with great significance, to a contemplated war with England, if it was not for the fact that it has been sent to the Governors of all other States having seaboard to protect. Our defences on the lakes are only against England. There can be no harm in stating what is the fact, the letter is called forth by the late menacing position of England, France, and Stain, towards this country in its present trying hour, when the Government is struggling with foes within.

The New York Herald's comments on Seward's letter — Apprehensions of a War with England.[from the New York Herald of the 1861.] From all quarters we have received intelligence of the sensation and excitement produced by Mr. Seward's circular letter to the Governors of the loyal States on the seaboard and lakes. [For letter, see our Northern news column.--Eds. Dis. ] It was prepared on Monday, and on Wednesday it was telegraphed simultaneously to the loyal press of the North. On its appearance here yesterday, Wall street was thrown into a terrible commotion. Federal stocks went down two and a half to three per cent, the bears were in high glee, and the bulls uttered curses deep, if not loud, against the author.--It was urged, in condemnation of the policy of the letter, first, that there was no necessity for the fortifications recommended; and, secondly, if there was, that the best way to accomplish the object was by means of private letters to the Governors, which would not
