The Daily Dispatch: December 25, 1861., [Electronic resource], Christmas eve. (search)
Additional foreign news by the Jura. By the arrival at New York of the steamer Jura, we have the following additional items of foreign news: Great Britain. The excitement in relation to the Trent affair continued unabated. The London Times city article says that the stock market on the 4th inst. was more heavy and unsettled than at any period since the commencement of the difficulty. At the close, however, there was a slight rally in the fund. The strength of the American navy was being canvassed in England. The London Times says, that although the Federal navy scarcely presents a dozen worthy antagonists, it would be imprudent in the extreme to despite the power of the Americans at sea. We have done this once, and paid the cost of our thoughtlessness. The Americans will do little, but what little they do they will do well. They will give our heavy squadrons a wide berth, and concentrate their efforts on single ships. France. The speculations f

rom present appearances, the whole question will settle down upon that pretence. The President said this morning, in response to a question by a Senator, "I don't think we will have a war with England in the next ten days." It is argued in high quarters that the United States would be benefitted by a war with England, on the ground that we should be immediately relieved of the present enormous expense of keeping up the blockade, and could turn our guns upon the splendid commerce of Great Britain; that our people are just in a fighting mood; that in a few months we shall have one of the most magnificent and well drilled armies the world ever saw, with nothing else to do except to whip John Bull for the third time.

The Mason and Slidell affair. --The intelligence in another column, from the New York Herald, concerning the determination of the Federal Government to give up the Confederate Commissioners, if a demand shall be made for their surrender by England, seems rather an indication of what those journals which have lately been bullying Great Britain desire, than of anything that has actually occurred. It is contradicted, by dispatches of a later date, but which have not yet assumed a very definite form. It certainly is not in keeping with the tone of the organs of the Federal Government up to this time. It is obviously their interest to avoid, for the present, the effect which the sudden announcement of the certainty of a war with England would have in the North. At all events, amid the conflicting statements upon the subject, it is well enough to suspend our judgment until more decisive information is obtained.
