(Special Washington Dispatch to thaN. Y. Herald 1
TUB MASON AND SLIDKIX AFEAIM
An absurd rumor, clreolaietl to-dsy that
the government lust evening decided to surren
der Mason and Slidell, is without any found ition
wuatever. Up to eleven-o’clock lust night Lord
Lyons had rnude no communication from his
Government to the President or Secretary of
State relative to the aeUure of the traitors, Ma
son and Slidell.
The French Minister gave a dinner this even
ing. The British, Spanish, Ru«slau and other
ministers were present. In conversation the
tables were rather turned upon the French Min
ister that he had received no Instructions from
his Government on the Muson and Slidell affair,
since France hns remained as the chosen ally of
England. This was pleasantly done, but the
French Mlulsler did uot. relish the Joke. .
The President has Imporumt privato letters,
that will have great weight In the Humming up
of ibis tralioroua' Imbroglio. Senate'- Sumner,
chairman of the committee on Finance, Inter
rupted the proceedings of the Senate to-day by
moving that the body go Into executive session
to consider Important, business communicated
by special messenger of the Piesldent. The
motion prevailed. The message contained high
ly Important documents concerning our foreign
relations, hut having no reference to the Mason
and Slidell affair. It concerns the tripartite ex
pedition to the Gull, which Is after all ol more
Importance lo this Government than anything
now agitating the public mind In this country.
The messnge was .ordered to bo printed. The
M >son and Slidell affair la only employed by the
British Government as u pretext while they em
ploy their forces in another direction to destroy
our power and strengthen their own.
Opinion* of the Leading FrenoU Journal* on the
Maion- 3Udt.il Affair.
■.From the Opinion Natlonute.J
II the French flag bad received such an Insult,
the whole country would bave risen us one limn
to demand striking satisfaction.
[From the Paris l’atrle.l
Under any circumstances, ihu British Govern
ment cannot dispense with exacting ns a repara
lion the dlsmlnsitl of the officers of the 3au Ja
clnto, the liberation of tb» passengers taken
from the Trent, lind Indemnity for them.
[From tho Paris Payr.J
On all oecuslous ibis England, so proud, so
haughty,before the constitutional powers, trem
bles anil becomes small before her trausuilaullc
brethren. There Is no sort of Insult which the
Federal Government has not inflicted on her,
and ye.t these ldsults have always been accepted
by her with perfect resignation.
This conduct has exulted the pride of the Cabi
net at Washington, which has come lo belluvc
that It eat. dare everything. But the United
States arc mistaken. If England has undergone
so much humiliation, It was because she dread
ed a war which would close the American ports
against the exportation of cotton; it wus because
Bhu feared the disturbances and Interior revolu
tions whleh would be the fatal consequences of
a prolonged stoppage of her manufactories; It
was because she feared the ruin of her com
merce.
But uow tbo question has chauged Its fuep.
The North has nothing more to give, hut on the
cmt-j , -mar or Toft.,,*A. -e wtltc
Smith that possesses cotton; It Is the South that
will have the right of ulc.ui.lrig conditions to
England; and the United 8taies will do well to
correct their error if they can believe, for one
moment, that their military force .tnd navul
power could frighten Europe.
In outraging the British flag the Federalists
bave perhaps not reflected on this—that the ma
terial interests of England Impel her to an ul-
llance with the Confederate States.

The War Feeling lu Canada.
The news Iron) England relative lo the war
like preparations, golug on there, on accouut of
the late alleged insult lo thu British flag, has
aroused the good people of Canada to tho high
est pitch of excitement, and led them to tnku
steps tor the immediate arming of the 'citizens
-tun organizing a swung military force for the
protection of the frontier from Invasion, and
sueh offensive measures ns inny hereafter be
deemed advisable,-In ease of a rupture betweeu
the United States and Great Britain. In Toron
to, especially, the warlike aspect of affairs has
caused tho minuet activity to prevnil among the
aedaulary militia and members of the volunteer
companies. The only topic of conversation In
the streets and in the bar rooms, for some day*
past, has been the prospect ol a war with the
Northern Stales of the Union. New volunteer
companies are being organized in every direc
lion, and their word* und actions are drill, drill,
drill. Tfie utmost degree of loyalty to the Brit
ish government in the Impending difficulty is
nmnlleeted by the Canadians of every rank. Thu
Volunteer Rifle company of Toronto, after their
drill of Tuc-sdav night, paraded the streets,
beaded by’a band ol life* ami drums, playing the
popular air ot "Dixie’s Land."
The Montreal Commercial Advertiser says
that for some time past the Federal Government
has been assembling a large jtumber of troops
along the Canadian frontier; also, that the foiti-
fleatlons ot Saekelt’s Harbor are being put In a
state of repair with all posslblo dlspateh, the
mvu working on Suudays aa well as week days.
These movements it considers on a menace to
Canada, and the Canadian* arc therefor^, bound
to prepare tor ttfc worst. They feel assured
that Camilla will receive the assistance of the
whole power ot the British Empire; therefore
should the United States determine to prefer
war rather lhau moke reparation for the alleged
outrage on the Trent, the discussion nu tho sub
ject will occupy thu entire Winter. As soon as
navigation opens In the spring, they consider
that Canada would he safe from Invasion, for
then, as they contend, the gun-boat fleet would
be nble lo take and keep possession of tlie Luke.
This fleet, says a Canadian Jourbsl, now num
bers two huudred and twenty vessels, from 100
to 200 ieui long, drawing from four to nine feet
water, and carrying from two to eight heavy
guns, clletfy 08-pdnndsrf, and all propelled by
steam. There .he also one hundred and eight
steam mortar bhota, the whole of which can pass
up the Rt Lawrence canals, and a large portion
Up So Rides" Such a force, independent of the
blockade of the seaboard and the pressure of the
Confederates on thelr stdo, will And the North

Navaj. ENGAaEMHS'.T IN Mobils Bay.—About
mid-day yesterday tbe stout guuboat “Florida,”
C. S. N.,coucluded to eelebrate Christmas eve
by a small set-to with the Insolent Lincoln
cruiser "New London," which wss lying off the
inoulb of the harbor. The "Florida ran down
lo the Westward of Sand Island and challenged
the “New Londou" to come on, which she did,
and for an hour or two a lively cannonade ol
long taw furnished an excitingly Interesting ex
hibition for the entertainment of Lhe great au
dience whleh viewed it, the four thousand men
who garrison Form Morgan and Gaines, as well
os the crews ot the blockading vessels, being the
spectators. The -’Florida" could not come in
close quarters with the enemy by ressou of the
shoal water of a bar intervening, and could rht
have got out It is likely she would have had move
than she could attend io with the several block-
aders that were lying off lu deep water.
The engagement was lengthy, and many shots
were tired on both sides, and ended by the New
London bucking out as usual. The "Florida"
was not touched, but it Is thought that three of
her pills took effect on the enemy. All but these
three were seen to strike the water, but the thou
sands of eyes which watched could not tell where
these ibree went to if they were not stopped by
theN'W London. She was evidently hit b ird,
lor after backing out of the tight she signalled
the fleet, and ouu of them ran down and lay
alongside of her for several hours, rendering as
