It is further rumored that England's warlike oreparations will continue in view thereof, and thai the surrender of Messrs. Mason aiid Blideil are notf ithe whole of England's de- mands. ' i "j ' - . y - . ; i The London: Observer (Ministerial organ) save that England desires peace, but that - she will gam by war, as then she can rectify ; her American frontiers, open the ports of the .

The Paris correspondent of the London Times asserts that Gen; Scott had no mission from any one. 1 : The Bieamships Adriatic ' and Persia have arrived at Halifax, N.

They, allow the Sumter and other Confederate war ships to take in coal under the pretence that they are merchant ships. , ? The New York Herald of the 1st instant says thai England "will probably provoke a war, even after the surrender of Mason and Slidell. SEWARD'S LETTER. . We have been Job-like enough to read ScwarCs letter, to Lord 'Lyons twice., We underwent this infliction for the purpose of seeing if there was - anything in the produc- tion ; calculated in the slightest degree to t mitigate the Infamous . position in which its author stands. But our. search was vain. Wrfroni beginning to end there' Is not;6ne pal liating' word.; . He contends for the legality of the capture of Mason and Slidell, and after writing some four. columnsr tells Lord Lyons . in substanoe jthat these ' gentlemen are very mucb a his jservifie. In all the history of diplomacy there is"; not on record a similar case of combined cunning, infamy, and cow ardice. ; Wll may the New York Express hang its, head in shame, and in bitterness of - spirit cry out,' tfce American Eagle for the first time humbles itself to the British Lion." Henceforward the! Yankee . Government will be the football of the nations of the earth: to be kicked about at their , will and pleas-. ;ure.: Henceforth the "once glorious Stars -. and Strfpes will receive no more respect than would oe paia to a awn rag. t -m S - Jl, .

Our national nag is afloat upon the breeze, a peerless constellation, lust risen above the horizon, and which is destin ed to brighten till it has reached the zenith of power. The stars and stripes, which we once loved, are darkened by fanaticism and' crime, and we adjure you, brave men', to trail in the dust the hated emblem of an usurper's rule whenever it may fall into your hands.

What is it for ? Where is it toend ? What has been done ? What is to come of it? ; : If the war shall continue till: July 1st, 1863 the people of .the North, ruined by the movements of armies and the depression of trade, and ground to the earth by such taxes as are fnow imposed upon, them, will find themselves burdened,- accor- ding to Mr. Chase's estimate, with a debt of $900,000,000, beariag nearly eight per cent.

The Courier observes that if placed in a single file, and allowing the large amount of 200 feet obstructing capacity to each vessel, the whole will blockade about; 3,000 feet In connection with the above the Mercury re marks,: . ' .' : ;-::r . ;';."-"j'rK' Charleston harbor has a water front from the Rattlesnake Shoal to Folly Island beach of about six miles, with numerous passages to and from the seft. On the occurrence of the first heavy North easter, after the sinking of the wrecks, the force of the wind, the heave of the sea, and the action of the quick-sandf, will, according to all provions experience, dissipate the Yankee obstructions with a rapidity nearly as great as that of the late ter rible conflagration. We have known -new and first-class ships, ot nearly 1,000 'tons capacity, loaded with railroad iron, stop on the bar, in mid channel, and in a few. weeks there would hardly be a trace of them, and. what could be found had worked upon the shallow part of - (he ' bar. The permanent closing of Charleston, harbor by sink ing vessels at the entrance, we consider an im possibility ; and nothing but a Government mad with folly and revenge would attempt it This at tempt of the Yankees, however, will have one good effect, in tendipg to quiet the nerves of any exci table citizens who may have supposed that the Lincolnites intended an attack on our citv from al ii . - V. ."
