I J? Ur tun ujuuicijii, iiniioiujC oijjuHciu jrvum-o arrest bur chief attention, i ; i i r r t The Message of President, Da via to the jSouth- ern Congress is, in our judgment, tbe more sat isfactory for, the firm and determined attitude in which it confronts the Unionist party arid the Cabinet of Washington ; ; for iflwd concede the conquest of the South to be next to impossible, it is by the exhibition of ' Soiithern ' strength father (ban of Southern weakness that peace is o be restored between he twq belli gerents.-f-President Davis recounts that throughout seven knbnths of hostilities the confederates have al most uniformly held their own, and that In sev jeral instances they have thrown their opponents Into a defensive attitude. ' ' b ""; President tDavis is therefore folly entitled to Itho bold ground which he assumes when he de clares that "the South will be! content to live tat Dcace with the North, but thatthe scmaratiotn fis linal."' He add!. that the South will accept of aio compromise, tie is now, perbaps for the iflrst time, in apositiou to-make; use of this laft- jguage. indeed, one Is led?to ask, after the trial jand exhaustion of so many (lesiins, and jth& ex penditure ofso much money on the part of the INorih," what ii yet to introduce decisive features Into the campaign ? Tho federals have enjoyed immense advantages in point of men and money, una aiu, ns wb suuwbu yesieruay,; in arawmg warlike supplies from this country through their superior command of the sea. President Davis will, no doubt derive fresh confidence "when he j reads tho - two rovali proclamations which, ih the latter respect, have now 'placed the .North and South on a footing of equality. But there has been -scarcely a single State over run by toe .Northern army; during the whole course or tbe campaign, and Hps much ques tloried whether the naval expeditions of the fed eral government to Hatteras utid Port Rbyal hare done Tnucti more tha'n slightly Wredude the private f ing -activity of the South. fThe as sertion of the Southern Presidebt musti thef e- fpre, Te admitted to be substanteall trie, that "'the reconstrutidn of tho Union, which the Federals seek to effect bt force of arms, has be come more and morepalpabh impossible.' He maintains, aiao, xuat tue causes "wnicn orougai about the separation not only remain in fll force, but have-been strengthened since the cavil war ' began. ' With a view of observing stricfneutral ity between thecontnding State we have care fully refrained from officially rfecognizing the South; but the time has certainly" arrived at which, we cease altogether to believe in thepos- J siuic-reunion oi ine , oiaies; ano; atwnacn we niiist, at all events, recognize ' the indejiendent confederation of, the South as an 'actual fact. "i President Davis spesks with jut indrg'aation iof the seizure" of his Envoys' to the Courts of France and England; and there Is a passage in this part of his niessag'e which throws a broba ba light on the distinctive mission on which Mr. Slidell and Mr. .Mason were ientto Europev Ho remarks, with some evident jpride, that ttie Confederate States have betjn content to light their own battle, and have solicited no assistance from foreign Powers. ' But he declares that they have a right to bring before Europe the question of the application of' the existing blockades of their own ports to tbe acknowledged principle iof international !aw,; that blockades, if they are to be respected by third Powers , must be effec-r tive. He is about to represent tq the European Governments, accordingly, th total inefficiency iof ihese blockades, and to put thd assertion up on evidence. It is a fair inference that this was one of the questions upon which Messrs. Slidell and Mason were sent to Europe. ' ? But there is another statement in our present American intelligence which threatens to put the blockade question in a light altogether new. U is enounced that twenty. five ve&sels have set ail, apparently from New York, heavily loaded I mil W a.nnaa 4 I. .

But if the Federal Government desire by this , expedient to relieve their own ships by thus blocking up Southern ports, they muit be perfectly awr thattfiere i$ at b?ibc an end of the blockade in exfcry instance in whicf their new plan is io apply.

It Is plain that jMr. Davis discerns . the 'cJoud which ie fbrmingion this side of the' Atlantic, "The elaim Joffthe United States to seize them in the streeta of Jion don,", says .president Davis, "If ould have ijeen as well ; founded! as the! seiztfre qn bpardlthe Trent."

Davis, " ask uo aid from foreign powers." This is just the language which a new State must hold ii it wishes to give jits neighbors an excuse for recognizing its independence. The only con sideration in such a case is whether the commu nity which demands to be recognised has the orce and consistency which entitle it to recog nition.. If it be de facto a nation, if; it prove that it can maintain its own independence, then other governments are justified in communicating with" it diplomatically, and treating it as a member or the family ef nations. Btif it calls on the world to help it, "ft dOesby islvery.atjakVfiy.the. Hght.of neutral powers to treat it as an equal. It proclaims that the Stite; againstj wti;h it has Revolted still has the power" to conquer it, and fcorisequentlyltisithe duty of neutrals td consiler it merely as a trrqvihcel in astate of jihsurrection. President Davis' fully knbws that rib European State would recognize his government unless he demanded , it as a ruler capable of holding his Own posi'ion. I i .v. ; . ? As to thti general course oi events, ip the pre sent hour of suspense any ordinary news from America must seem flat nd uninteresting. We feel that we are divided ty a great gulf from the time before theoutrageon the Trent. .The events bf the war 'whicjh , excitbd our ,curiosity a fort night ago now lose much of their inter, est, since we know that their import is now subordinate to a larger issuer While the two parties Jtre carry-, ing on their usual desultory warfare-i-this side bombarding , a Confederate seaport, that side burning a Federal town we know that a mes sage is on its way from England toiAmerica, the eception of which may change thejcivil war into a great nd world-wide struggle. Nothing can interest us now unless it relates to the one ques--tion will Messrs." Mason and Slide! be gi ven up? 'j Every thing that bears on this will.be greedily read by the British public; every thing that tends to show the temper of the Americans, or to give ,clue to the intentions of their government will be minutely; investigated and discussed. Un happily, the dispatches which we publish to-day give little information on this point. So far as we are able to judge from them, the Americans seem to be unconscious pf the- momentous con troversy which they have 'raised, it i said that an uneasy feeling prevails, but we canuot but think that, being so accu&tomed to find the Brit ish give way in similar cases,-they will, in a few days,, have taken it for granted thai every thing ;s right, and thai after a little grumblirg En gland will acquiesce, not bnly in what they have jlone, but in what they announce their intention of doing. : ; I . .

From speeches in the Federal Congress anl one of the official letters of the Federal Secretary of the Treasury, we learn the following facts In re gard to the .Federal expenditures : - j Regular appropriations called for forV the .year 1861-2 by Secretary Cobb, ! , K - $68,363,726 Appropriated at: the session of July, : 1861, for war expenditures then in- , .-!' , ' curred, to 00 paid in tbe fiscal year ' ; . 1861-2, , y .1 . ; 318,000,000 Appropriation now called for to meet expenses not embraced in the defl- -1 , , cieney appropriated in July, 2H,000,000 Called for by Secretary Cbase for the 1,. yearl?862-3, I 475,331,245 Called for by Secretary Cameron for - coast defences, 4,710,000 ! j $l,080,404,971 These" are the figures furnished by official docu ments jfor the two years comniencing first 'July, 1861, and ending 30th June, 1863. They em brace the expenditures of the Government for a period pf two years, together with those of half of April, and May, and June, 1561,! the; first months of the war. Of the period thus covered, only tbej expenses of about six months; are defi nitely ia?certained ; those of the residue of the time being conjectural and estimated, i The ac tual expenditures of the six months fir which they are ascertained exceeded the estimates submit ted to joogress in July $214,00btbo0. ' At the1 same ratio of excess, the real expenditures for the' next eighteen months of the period estimated for will reqairo additional appropriations to supply denciefcms oi six bundred and forty mil lions; and the aggregate shown by the above ta ble will be swollen to seventeen hundred and twenty jmillions. It would be a very moderate! comparison to assume that the actual jexpecdi-j tures- for the twb years estimated at ten hundred; and eighty millions, will be from twelve hundred1 and fifty to fifteen hundred millions ; !or more! than six hundred millions a year. . Thus the expenses of the-Federal Government i are at the rate of sixty millions of dollars a month J Considering that this expenditure is disbursed al most wholly within the Northern Slates, whose population is twenty millions, tbe average amount1 of money which is thus paid, the Northern peo- pie by their Government in purchase of their sup port to Itself and its measures are nearly fifty dollars to each'-man, woman, and child, pet an- num. T which is the largest Capitation expenditure ever yet recorded in th annals Jof finance. ' r ; This cfnot-moua amount of expenditure, were it not officially disclosed, would seem incredible ; and it reveals the 'most stupendous system of largesses disbursed to a corruptible, money-loving tne nistory 01 manKind auords. THE LONDON TIMES ON THE SPEECH OF JOHN BRIGHT. i The h londoh '. TSme of .the 6th inst.L has an editorial; criticising the remarks lately 'made bv the Hon: John Bright ori the arrest; of Messrs. Mason arid Slidell, in which it pronounces jit a wishy-washy affair, and of no special importance either one side or the other. It concludes aa' fol lows: ' j '. 1 If Mr? Bright, who was supported'at Rochdale I by the Ul S. Consul, and, no doubt, by all the aid which the United States can afford, was Unable to do more tnan sneer at all . international law, arid at the aame time to give up the outrage upon the British ffog aa "impolitic and bad," we are tolera bly sure that twe have heard all that can be said againsfrEhgland; and that she ia- ind&rmtibly right iri'aking the straight course to vindicate her honbr.
