sts of the British flag, is rudely stopped by cannon shot in her career, boarded by force, and four of her passengers taken from her. From time immemorial have England and English vessels been a refuge for the exiled of all lands.-- Never has Great Britain permitted the right of asylum she has thus vouchsafed to be questioned or impaired. In all her treaties for the delivery of persons charged with crimes, she has jealously excluded those charged with political offences from the lists subject ther mode of adjustment has been suggested, because none could be imagined, but a reference of the matter of dispute to the arbitration of the French Emperor. Such a reference might be readily acceded to by the Yankee Government; but how can Great Britain afford to refer an insult ? There is where the shoe pinches. It is not a question for the lawyers. Nor is it a question for arbitration. It is not a question of mere right or wrong. But it is a question of honor and high spirit. Will tha

e newspapers that the Europa has arrived, and the messenger is probably now in this country, and the result must be a restoration of Mason and Sildell, or the Federal Government will be involved in inestimable war with England. [Cheers.]--Never was government in a more critical condition. If the demands of England are compiled with, and our Ministers are surrendered, there is a fanatical spirit at the North which will crush the Government; and if otherwise, then they must have war with Great Britain. Fellow citizens, (continued Mr. Faulkner,) you must excuse me from saying more. When the cords are cast from me — when I am freed by the act of my Government — then it will afford me pleasure to mingle with you, and indulge in an unrestrained expression of sentiment upon the great events of the times. Mr. Faulkner (of whose remarks we have given a mere sketch) withdrew amid great cheering. Gov. Letcher being called upon for a speech, responded very happily. He said it gave him

As pending disputes between the United Stated and Great Britain heretofore, the angry public voice has subsided, to await the result of diplomatic formalities, so will it be again. nd sensation in commercial and financial circles, and the impression seems general that there is danger of a war with Great Britain; but while all admit that if Capt. Wilkes did wrong in the Trent affair, due apology should be made; but if right, noriver defences should be at once seen to, and active measures taken to put them into the best possible condition.

re that the present "electrical" burst is only the first flash of a thunderstorm, which will rock to its foundations the towering despotism of the North. We, too, have been electrified by the announcement that the North is eager for war with Great Britain. Was ever such madness as the Lincoln Government has displayed since the days when Pharaoh's heart was hardened by his own cruel passions?--Was ever a more evident interposition of Providence in behalf of any people, than that which has been that which has been manifested from the beginning of this contest to the present moment, since the day when God led the children of Israel from the dominion of a tyrant, to the Canaan of repose and independence? The Northern Government, as Mr. Faulkner justly said in his speech last night, is between two fires. If it releases the Confederate Commissioners it rouses to revolt the fanatical element in its own bosom. If it refuses the English demand, war with Great Britain is inevitable.

London times on the Mason-Slidell seizure. It requires a strong effort of self-restraint to discuss with coolness the intelligence we publish to-day. An English mail steamer sailing under the British flag and carrying letters and passengers from a Spanish port to England, has been stopped on the high seas and overhauled. Four of the passengers have been taken out and carried off as prisoners, claiming and vainly claiming as they were being forced away, the protection of the flag of Great Britain. These are the naked facts. ******** It is then true that every officer of the American navy can stop and overhaul our ships wherever they may be found, and can take out of them any persons whom he may claim to be citizens of the United States or officer of the Confederate Government? If we were to admit the Federal view of their own position it would be plain that no such right exists. They tell us that they are not at war, but are only putting down a rebellion. They say, o
