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 Jnhnnv P No. 5-
