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. l»o 9„J.O.

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 ern army plenty of employment without Invar ding Canada, whleh will then he covered by the largest British army ever arrayed ou, this eouti- neut.

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 sistance, Ills supposed.—J/iibilf lirgtater.
