Confiscation of Mason and Slidell's Real Estate as against English Purchasers

--A Washington correspondent says:

‘ Mr. Slidell is believed to be seized of real estate in Louisiana. This he could convey to London bankers, and no act of confiscation of our government subsequent could attach. Such a conveyance would not diminish our complications with England. Perhaps an investigation of the records of the General Land Office would throw some light on supposed purchases of government lands by Slidell one or two years since, in Louisiana, to a large extent.
