Ws believa. the bulk" of the English people are averse,taa war with us, and will gtediy hail Mr! Seward's letter to Lord Lyons as a harbinger of peace. But we cannot shake off the, impression, that the aristocratic element which ia. really the bead of the nation has always regarded us with anevil eye, an3 conclade that Dow ; was me time to striKe a fatal blow at: the . prurpcmy 0i a caieci rival, xiia means necessary to bring the'"peopie io the same way of thinking are - numerous and are rarely resorted to without success. The press of Great Briiain already l&teshadows!" that a new borne of contention ia to. be un-," .earthed. - The London. 10363,' and the : Palmerstoa- and Derby organs, are Jbeginniag to .argue the probabilities , of Mason -and Slidell'a liberation by our government; and suggesting other matters, to which the attention of Mr. Sewail must be called as for instance the " paper blockade.". j ; Mr. Seward'ai letter io' Minister. Adains, announcing thecapture of the rebel emissaries, and by him transmitted to Earl Russell, was not published, but its contents, of course, were known tthe British ministry; It was known thaEITr. Seward, in behalf of - this government, disavowed the act of Capt. Wilkes as being authorized by, Jhe Administration, and boldly stated 'that te discus sion of the question was free ftoiajiiny em- j barrassment oa our part. Rumprs that such a letter had arrived were current in the streets of London, when Lord Palmers-: ton'a organ announced that they were unfonnUtd, for the dispatch in question did not, in any way whatever, refer to tne outrage on the Trent. .What object the Post had in deliberately ; palming a falsehood upon the people, we are at a loss to conceive. The letter to . Mr. lAdacis evidently foreshadowed the course Mr. 'Seward afterwards saw proper to take, and yet the truth was kept from the .'people whiie their pasBions were stimulated by ail .that art and rhetoric could accomplish in that direction. In addition to this fact, the Paris Patrie publishes a letter from a'Londoa correspondent, indicating the course' the E&glish Government would pursue. The correspondent says, in case the japswer of the American Government to the English note was unfavorable, Lord Lyons would take his departure in three dayB, and Admiral Milne would immediately, leave Jamaica with an English squadron, anI . take up a position ' at Kbrfolk. The . correspondent goes on, and adds: - r ' In case the Washington Cabinet shouldeurrender the prisoners lakea-from the Trent, that affair icUl, of course, be settled j but a new quettion Kill then be raised by Lord Lyons, viz : whether the blockade cf the Srwlhern ports w effective, arid negotiation upon Otis point mill be actively earned on. These negotiations will be of very different character from the first, for they ... will bear upon a questipnaffecting thecomr - mercial interests of all the powers. . - Wellj our Government has surrendered the rebel Commissioners, and the first. re- - spouse from English sources is contained in the Canada papers. While they manifest a certain amount of gratification atthe result, It is easy to see, by the manner in which . .. they criticiso the motives that induced the surrender, that they are not yet satisfied. The Montreal Herald, after commenting in a severe style as to our motives insisting that we were impelled to the course a (took t hroogh fear of the British Hon, rather than t hrough a sense of justice uses the following significant if not threatening language: Yet it must not be forgotten that war and peace cannot be thus separated From all other considerations. If the present South-' em Confederacy can hold its own for a certain length of time, those most hostile to it must admit that it must receive uational recognition. The blockade presents - another subject of conflict which," even in spite of the best wishes on both sides, nny, from the clashing of interests, lead to war. . These are contingencies, which may have a most sinister development.1 ' v-t It was fair to assume -that, ia surrendering llnsoa and SlUlell,'" our ..Government would not be misunderstood. We notice, however,' that Mr. Seward'rfVoeiSionSiare most grossly perverted and distorted. One paper acys Mr. Seward always believed that

justice in not firing the rebela up before the demand was "made. These papers seem to forgeTtbat England had a policy regarding

VV uile Mr. Se ward's via wa of this question were very cleaf, from tha American stand point i the opportunity to ascertain whether EngJaud entertained, her old notions, was too good to ba lost, and Hr. Seward ia entitled not only to tha praise of our own, but of all governments, Tor the handsome manner 'in which he has. unmasked the bullying and domineering spirit of the British Government. In insisting on the surrender of Mason and.Slideir, the British authorities have virtually acicnowledgea tnat tno vessel ot, a central power is exempt from search on the Iiigh seas, and abandoned their former doc trines, or Great Britain stands before ) the world in. tha light of a ruffi&a, anxioua cto pick a -quarrel with an opponent tWbo ; is ; found in an embarrassfhg position.1 It is evident from all these facts that we have only one, hope. pf safety., .The rebel armies roust be trashed, and that .speedHyi or the future alone can describe the -fiery ordeal through which we will havVto( paseTba people may as welf be looking at the prospect with calmness and making op their mind? accordingly.'
