LATEST NEWS FROM EUROPE!

ARRIVAL OF THE ENGLISH MAIL,

Tue R. M.S. Arabia arrived at Halifax on Tuesday morning last, with English dates to the Sth inst. The Mail for this Island was received here on Friday morning. The foreign news is not of great importance. There is no material change in the aspect of the Polish question; nor has the question of intervention in American af- fairs yet assumed ary detinite ehape. Some ot the items of news are, however, interesting, a careful selection of which wiil be found below.

There is no reason to doubt that the English Govertment will do every thing that eas be legally done to prevent the building vf Confederate steamers in this country, aud also to prevent the sailing of steamers of Unat Kind already built, if any such exist. It is, however, both useless and mischievous to ask the Government to do what ts iNegal for that purpose. It is useless because no Ministry will venture to commit an illegal act without having a moral certainty that Parhamert, on reassembling, will grant it an indemnity for doing se, which cannot in the least be relied on in this case; and it is mischievous beeanse It Is giving the war party m Aierica additional excuses tur attacking this country, The Federal Govern- nent have » right to ask that our laws (which iu this respect greatly resemble their own) shall be fully carried inte eficet, but they have no right te ask anything mere.

Louisiana AS A Free Srare.—Thomas J. Durant, Esq., one of the ablest lawyers in New Orleans, made a speech before the Union Asso- ciation of that city, on the 23d wit., in which he said ;—

* The President of the United States gave the people of Louisiana fair waruing that if they came cot out from the rebellion, he would set free al! those unwilling instruments that they were using tor the overthrow of liberty and free government ob this continent; and when they refused, he, on the ist of January, 1903, tn the exercise of his con- stitutional powers, by the emancipation proclama- tion declared them freemen, and in his opinion every loyal cilizen was solewnly pledged to sup- port him iu his course. There wight be ditler- ences of opinion in regard to the expedieney ol the policy, but the duty of every man was clear— they should see that the 237,000 slaves in Louis- jana, with the exception of those in two Cougres- sional districts, were act free. When Gen. Hup- ter teok command of the Department of the South, he declared by proclamation that all the slaves in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida were free. This was set aside by bis superior officer—the Commander-in-Chiet of the Army and Navy of the United States. But no one has ever set aside the proclamation of January 1, 1563, and te prayed God that no one ever would. I would be the basest ingratitude now to do so, alter they had shed their blood so freely in detence of the Union. Every one present, he thought, might make up theic minds that if they could net live in Louisiana as a free State, they would not live here at ail.”’

Dear Sirn,—

My task with Mr. Inga this week is but a light one, for although I conceive that I have abundant proof apart from Mr. Ligs’s explanation, to con- clude that the act was intentional, yet I shall confine myself chiefly lo Mr. inga’s own statements. Mr. lugs says, that “ part of the edition was struck vif before the error Was observed,” and he has alsarepeatedly verbally stated ** that the error was corrected in the copies sent to the country.” This is unfortunate, inasmuch as different parties from the country assured me that the error arrested their altention and caused surprise. But did not Mr. Ings continue to strike off uncorrected copies, even afier he sentme this note? And was het what is termed the Tuesday's edition the ouly part of that week's isave in which the cor- rection was made? If Mr. Lugs had quoted correctly, the quotation he made irom my letter would have read: “ Mt appears were distasteiul to Me, lags’s establishwent" ; again when Mr. Ings seeks for definitions let him use his specs, my definition was correct. But there is something unique in Mr. [ngs’s ideas of satisiaction fer otfeuces given. Mr. Ings contends that the ay- gressor, and not the aygrieved, is to dictate terme ; thus be would allow the errer to run for a week and do its own work, and then apologize iv his own paper. But l have been taught te believe that the aggrieved has the right to dictate terms, and that the offending party is bound to comply, unless the terms are unreasonable. Now, f think mine were vot, Mr. Ings himself being the judge, for he says that I should have sent his apolugy to the Protesiant sad the Examiner, thus imposing on me his own duties. This idea is simply ridiculous. This is not the first time Mr. Ings has made au unproveked attack on me, and why, I know not, for I think it would puzzle Mr. Ings to find any just cause of offence I have ever given him,

To Mr. Joseph Bertrain I need only apologise forone word. Ladmit the word scion was wrong, for be is a fruit-bearing tree, as his letter abundant- ly proves, ‘The quality of the fruit he yields I need nut designate, for it must be evident ta all. Rut [ must congratulate Mr. Ings upon bis ob- taining the services of such an exquisite for such a number of years, for to Mr. lugs in the discharge of his ardrous duties Bertram wust be invalu- able. Mr. [ngs has to search the world to obtain every branch of uselul knowledge, and then bring ing all inte one focus he has to present it in one grand yiew to bis numerous patrons. And is it not

is alsu (by choice) to givea healthy tous to public morals, aud while acting as the great conservator of society at » to blacken whom he will to gratify bis morbid taste, and te whiten others ac- cording ty order for gain? Happy then must he be in securing the services of Mr, Joseph Bertram to aid him in bis work. Mr. Ings occupies his t position, not by ineaus of superior intellect, nor a cultivated mind, but by fortuitous circum- stances; let him therefore learn tu be thankful, and not outrage tho feelings of others, then he wiil be less the butt of ridicule. I am, dear sir, yours, &c. JOHN WILLIAMS. Sept. Qlst, 1863
