Mason and Slidell in England.
The following is an article from the London Times, of January 11th: .
A turn of the wheel, which the American
Cabinet has managed to make as sudden as
possibile, brings us a new question. The four
American geutiemen who bave got us into
our late trouble and cost us probably a million apiece, will soon be in one of our
ports,
* ‘ * * * = *
How, then, are we to receive these illustrious visitors. Of course they will be stared
at, and followed and photographed, and
made the subject of paragraphs. There is
no help for that. Mr. Thomas Sayers can
not walk the street with a friend, or ask the
Mayor for permission to put up a booth io
a market place, but the crowd immediately
conclude the rough, hard-vieaged, illfavored
pair to be the Confederate Commissioners,
Messrs. Mason and Slidell, with their two
secretaries, though not so handsome and
graceful as their countryman Blondin,
would certainly fill the Crystal Palace, if
they proposed to address the visitors there
on the merits of their cause. But for the
benefit of the discriminating—for the guidance of the minority that prefers at least a
respectable idol, and that does not wish to
throw away its confidence and applause, we
may as well observe that Messrs. Mason
and Slidell are about the most worthless
booty it would be possible to extract from
the jaws of the American lion. They have
long been known as the blind and babitual
haters and revilers of this country, They
have done more than any other men to get
up the insane prejudice against England
which disgraces the morality and disorders
the policy of the UnionThe hatred of this
country bas been their stock in trade. On
this they have earned their political livelihood and won their position, just as there
are otbers who pander to the lowest passions of humanity. A dilligent use of this
bad capiial has made them what they are,
and raised them to the rank of Commissioners.® It is through their life-long hatred and
abuse of England that they come here in
their present conspicuous capacity. The nation under whose flag they sought a safe
passage across the Atlantte—the nation
that bas now rescued them with all her
might from the certainty of a dungeon and
the chances of a retaliatory murder, is that
agaiost which they have always done their
best to exasperate their countrymen, Had
they perished in the cell or on the scaffold,
amid the triumphant yells of the multitude,
memory would have suggested that their
own bitter tirades bad raised the storm,
and that their death was only the nataral
and logical conclusion of their own calumnies and sopbistries.
.
Tue ALLIes IN Mexico,—It is not improbable that England, France and Spain will
be farther from each others friendship than
they are at present before the Mexican
question be settled. The London Herald
(Derby’s organ) of Jan. 17th, says:
If it had not been for the difficulty with
North America a British force wou!d ere
this have been in company with the Spanish equadron in the waters of Vera Cruz,
At present we hear only of the Spaniards,
and to their fleet and army bas fallen the
credit of the only success which is likely to
be gained by the intervening powers in
Mexico, Vera Craz has fallen into their
hands; the Mexican commander has retired
before them without an attempt to save the
place, and the fortress of San Juan de Ulloa
has hoisted once more the flag of Spain.
We are at @ loss to conceive what the
Spanish commander intends to do next, or
what the French and English are to do
when they have joined bim. Itis clear that
the intervention cannot be intended for the
tole advantage of Spain. If the Spanish
General, who in hie proclamation, epeaks
80 magniloquently of bis mission to avenge
the wrong of his countrymen, entertains
any idea of this sort, or harbors the notion
of renegner ee the country for his mistress, we think it well that be should be set
right as speedily as possible.
We think ita most unfortunate thing
that our Government should have given its .
sanction and co-operation to a wild crusade
which seems likely to have for its chief re.
sult the furtherance of schemes of eggres.
sion and conquest. We ehall gain little
credit; we may expect lese profit from this
ill-advised Mexicau intervention, We trast
that it may soon be over,
Man or Funcrions.—The Knoxville Register says: “Parson Brownlow has preached
at every church and schoolhouse, made
stump speeches at every croxs-road knows
every man, woman and child, their fathers
and grandfathers before them, in East Tennessee. Asa Mcthodist circuit preacher, a
political stump epeaker, a temperance orator and the editor of a newspaper, he bas
been equally succeseful in our division of
the State.
NUMBER 586.
Foreign Intervention.
A favorite falsheod of the British newspaper writers isto assert that France is
urging England to break the blockade,
Not a line or @ word in support of this theory is to be found in any French paper;
and there is, in fact, no reasonable ground
for supposing that the sagacious sovereign
of France is really pursuing so unwise a
course. The silk manufacturers of Lyons
are distressed, itis true, by the falling off
in the demand for French silk at the North.
But it is hardly the right way to remedy
this machance to go to war with us about it,
In illustration of the real sentimeni of
France, we beg torefer to the following
article from a late number of the Paris
Charivari--a paper which, though profess.
edly humorous, always contains a serious
political article in every number, and
which is probably the most popular and astute journal in Paris:
The Anglo-American quarre) has been
terminated by the surrender of Mason an@
Slidell; peace is seoured, and the British
aristocracy, which was bent on war for its
own purpose, is going to be somewhat embarraseed by this unexpected turn of fortuve’s wheel. The American democracy
has won a sobstantial victory. Ithas prov:
ed that politics are not, as the vulgar imag:
ine, ® sacred and occult science, which
none but the descendants of a long line of
nobles can comprehend; but that men in
plain coats, without orders or decorations,
and in the babit of going down to their offices in an omnibus, can often give lessons,
in this respect, to titled and high-born dignitaries,
The British Government eagerly seized
upon the oo of the Trent affair to go
towar. Thispretext has now been remored. It is said that another will be discovered, but this will not prove as is supposed.
The war party in England showed its hand
too soon, and too plainly, Everybody now
perceives that England wanted war for the
sake ‘of her own interests, Public opinion
in Europe will be unanimous against her if
she tries, by some new trick or other, to
reopen the quarrel, An Anglo-American
war is impossible for some time to come, The
Americans, by acknowledging their error,
and taking reason for their guide instead of
passion, bave secured this result and proved themselves a strong people,
Thus freed from apprehensions of foreign
interference, the Northern States can pursue undisturbedly their war with the South.
The Trent affair has, in fact, placed them
ina better position in regard to the war
than they occupied previously, for ic has
led Congress to adopt a more decided
course in regard to the slavery question.
This matter of slavery is now directly in issue between the North and the South, and
the Governments of Europe are forced to
face directly a principle which they bave
for many years empbahteally recognized
aod proclaimed. Under these circumstances none of them can recognize the slave
confederation, and the Government of England is bound hand and foot, Such is the
situation of to-day!
Destirution iv ReBELDoM.—When Gen.
Butler took Biloxi, Miss., opposite Ship Isl.
and, he found thatall the men had gone off
to the wars, The women were in a state of
phrenzy until they learned that not a pin’s
value of property would be taken, and that
the slightest indignity to the people by the
soldiers would be instantly punished. Then
they expressed astonishment that the troops
were not barbarians, as they had been indusriourly informed, Says a writer from
Biloxi to the Boston Journal:
The poon appeared to be in a very destitute condition, some wanting shoes, ‘some
clothing and others bread. One smart-looking lad said to his mother, in the hearing of
the officers, “I don’t care if I do get taken
prisoner,”’ to which the other replied, “Nor

Midshipman Woodward, and with a wishful
and beseeching tone, said: “Ob, mister, if
u'll ooly bring me one bandfal of coffee,
M give you anything—’lasees, sugar or
anything.” Ao old man made a similar
proporal to Mr. Freeman, who asked him if
they were short of anything, to which he
made answer, “My God, we are short of ev.
