Intcrrsliug Foreign Intelligence*
Liverpool, Dec., 6.—The feeling in
Canada continues warlike, insisting upon
immediate military organization, and
prompt redress of the insult to the British
Flag.
A notice from the Admirality, orders all
absentees to return to their shijis.
No charters are now taken on American
vessels.
Bright had made another pacific speech.
The Times says his labor is futile, as little
can be said for the American people.
The excitement among Americans in
Europe relative to the action of England,
is unparalleled. The object of Gen. Scott’s
letter was to allay it. He pretends that
the quarrel is o small affair, and very easi
ly settled. In Scott’s opinion, Mason and
Slidell were as much contraband as sold
iers, but if Seward does not convince Rus
sell, the latter will convince Seward, and
so the affair ends.
The London Times ridicples Scott’s rea
soning, and says that the Commissioner
went to Washington, not to open a contro
versy, but to demand restitution; that
made, discussion can then be opened.—
Should the Federal claim be admitted,
sas the Times, unixersal piracy would be
the consequence.
The times also takes up the precedence
cited b)Mhe Boston jurists in support of
the seizure and ridicules them.
The excitement throughout England
arid France continued unabated.
When the Jura left, the London stock;
market was more uusetded than on any |
pieced ing day.
The Times is sarcastic upon the Unired
States Navy. There is scarcely a dozen
vessels in it, according to the Times, that
can te considered worthy antagonists, and
yet the United States are impudent, de- !
spite thoir weakness.
When hostile demonstrations are made,
American ships ships give heavy squadrons
a wide berth, and concentrate on single
vessels.
Bristol arid other British ports were
I shipping Armstrong guns to Canada.
Thoughont Europe the indignation
against the United States was universal.
Intervention in Mexico by the allied
powers, the London Post says, will be
: bloodless.
Capt. Seymour, the Queer’s messenger,
accompanied by Mr. Cunard, were received
j l\y the Consuls &t. Boston and New York.
No Americans were present. The line is
: already drawn between the two nations.
The French journals declare that if En
gland does not demand reparation, relation
changes, and France takes up the question.
Engl sh letters from Canada are firm
! and encouraging. British West India is
’ also inflamed and for war.
The Jamaica Guardian says it is una
voidable if the United States persist it: re
taining the ambassadors. The Guardian
calls for immediate attention to the de
fence of the Island.
The Paris Brourse.was agitated, and the
feeling tn Paris was strong against the
United States.
Hard to Relieve.
In the light of the daily chronicle of
events in the newspapers, it is indeed a
hard thing to believe that we have in the
territory of the late United Suites, over a
million of men, on both sides under aims,
thirsting, as they say, after battle; and
that hoveling round our coast are some
two huftdred Federal war vessels ! With
all this formidable array of military and
naval force, week after week passed with
qo.great event. A skirmish of foraging
parties—an attack < f pickets—the surprise
and capture # of a w*jgon party, or a steara
! boat, is the most stinng event which inter
! rupts the quiet monotony of war.
Whoever heard, saw or read of such a
state of things before ? And this is the
“Hurri( ;u.- <.f \Vhf/’ which was to b* let
U r oSe the this winter! Is it,
possible that the Federals can long delude
themselves with the idea of “subduing the
rebellion,” by such a mode of warfare? Is
not the fact that, after nine months prepa
ration in raising fleets and armies for the
great work of over-running the South, they
find themselves checked and over awed at
every point, evidence conclusive that their
schemes are impracticable and ridiculous ?
Even the fanatic Stephens, of Pennsylva
nia, declares that if seven hundred thous
and will not do the work, he will never vote
to raise another man. They have now
their “overwhiming force,” and their set
time for operations is fast passing away.—
Last summer they could riot move because
they were not ready, and summer was no
time for a campaign. Winter comes, and
now, though all ready in aspect to force,
they cannot move, because winter is no
time for a campaign. Spring is the time
and wli< n that season comes it wi)l be no
time to move, just as the heat o£ summer is
approaching! It is hard to understand
the views and policy of the Hessians.
I ain’t going to be called a printers* de
vil any longer—no more I ain’t t exclaim
ed our imp, the other day, in a pucker.
Well, what shall we call you ?
Call me a typographical spirit of <ml, if
yon please—that’s all !
Never be angry with a friend without &
just cause.
Men are said to admire that which they
look up tf>, and to love that which they
look down upon.
A clergyman, while engaged in catechis
ing a number of hoys in a class, asked one
of them the definition of matrimony. The
boy replied :
“A place of punishment, where some
folks sufivr for a time, before they can go
to heaven.”
A doting mother of a waggish boy, hav
ing bottled a lot of nice preserves, labelled
them, “Put up by Mrs. D ” John
ny having discovered the goodies, soon ate
the contents of one bottle, and wrote oa
the bottom of the label, “Put down by
