Charleston, Jan. 2.—Thu fighting on the coast began yesterday morning. Three thou sand five hundred of the enemy having landed ontfu* main near Port Royal Ferry, were met with the bayonet by two of our regiments, whuu the Yankees fled precipitately, throwing down their arras as they ran. They were driven to their boats, when the boat howitzers opened fire, killing six and wounding twelve Caroli nians. The enemy’s loss is about the same as our own. To day tko enemy landed in much larger force at the same place, when Gen. Gregg’s Brigrda fell back a short distance to a more eligible po- sltibp. The pickets were skirmishing ull day. The enemy designs an attack on the railroad, and cannot avoid a battle. The steamship Ellen. Warley % formerly the Isabel, from Nassau, ran the blockade iulo Charleston at daybreak ibis morning. She was chased and ineffectually shelled by the block- aders. K She brings a valuable assorted cargo nrd sev- rnl passengers. Among her passengers Is MivBisble, bearer ot rti»|’sitdies from Mr. Yancey. Mr. Bi*bie Into started for Richmond. Col. Anderson was in command, as Gen.

Surreu cr of (Mason and fslidt-ll Correspondence Ketwopn Lord Lyons i ml ml. Jfnqnii • Richmond, Jan. 2.—The Kicbmoin publishes tomorrow, from the »m oft.be 80th, the iluuiuud ul the English Govern ment lor the restoration of Messrs. Mason ami Slidell, and tho answer of Seward in response t<» Lord Lyons. The English Minister U short and pointed Seward surrendered Distantly, but. closes hi- reply wiUr a multitude uf. \Vor*U, and argues through firstly aud second'ly, llmt tho , Southern imutni&loucrs were contraband aud liable to capture. He however,, the law of - while justifying, the capture if ui. eqemy’s minister^ aJT conliabnnd, does not, as in this paso, properly provide formulas for ad judicating the capture. This might, have been avoided, he says, if the Trent had been retained, by ptocceding against her; which would have been morally a decision case of CoinmUsUrtlcrs. The moral certainty of the character of Mason and Slidell would have been suUieient to meet the spirit of the law. But tho Trent being dis missed, the source was lost. tie ward says, substantially; that the capture ol Musou aud Slidell was in opposition to, aud the restoration is demanded by ull the principles winch ever obtained iu American policy and statesmanship, and to vindicate which the United States went to war wi'.h Eugland. By declining to surrender the Commissioners, he would vio late the long maintained dogma of his own country, and which he approves. The editor of the Enquirer gives a summary of the points of Seward’s reply us follows : lie saja, first, the capture was right when 'tqstcd by justice, law and decorum; second, Us advantages must, be surrendered upon an assum ed technicality in a court where there arc no pleadings, aud third, that the capture was wrong as judged by prineipb s^iways maintained in the Uni ted, Stales even to Ibe extremity of war. To Seward’s labored effort Lord Lyons makes a brief reply and to the point, lie says he ha* sent his words to Enyland, and will sec him soon and receive ministers. The Philadelphia Bulletin says whatever has been yielded is only owing to the imperative necessity of avoidiug u foreign war. While we have a domestic war ou our bauds it is better not to stand on punctilios, and run the risk ot seeing the Union destroyed by an alliance be- tweeu the rebels aud the leading powers of Eu rope. The New York Express says that the surrender to necessity will soon impose on us other neces sities in connection with Great Britain, to which we must yield or tight. The editor thinks that ninety days will not elapse without further iu- suiting demands from '.lie English Oligarchy, lie advises that Instant preparations for war be made to the extent of a million and a half of nun. He says the Administration has given up ■ ^{a-vjp :iud Slidell, not to law or equity' nr right, but to necessity. The American eagle In its trials aud troubles is humbled for the firm time lo the British lion. The rebellion on hand di ngs* down the ling never before humiliated before England. Let us Americans, hanging our heads because of our humiliation, dismiss the subject with as much silence as possible. ' The National Intelligencer says Seward’s course meets the approval of every member of the Cabinet. The editor says war with England and France is -escaped by the surrender of the Southern .Commissioners. j [Daedal Dispatch.to the Savannah Morning News] Important Diplomatic Corrcspondenco. lyicuMoNl, Jan. 2.—1 send you a brief synop sis of t'.e points of the diplptuatic correspon- (ivtieu ru reference to the surrender of Messrs. \;as offd Slidell: " .
