i he news trom Jinglaiid iivors n little of briinatone, and vet we do not believe that our peí jilo or Government need be alarméd, Reporta ny that great indigoatinn meetings were held at Liverpool ajid olher places on re Ctiiptol the intelügence OÍ the "outrage" upon the Trent, and tho Government oatled upon to "mniDtuiu the dignity of tho flag." Tho Prest, too, wuxed wrathy, and in loaded columns - not so dangerout as loaded oannon - po'ored out tho besorn of deetruction upon the whole Yankee nation. Tho journnls even announce that the Government hns detennineJ to dciiiund bh Bpoloiry, and the deüvery of ihe oup'.ured einbassadora on board of an Knglii-li vestjel n preeence oí a dozen war Bteamers. A few jonrnals, bowever, and iiitluonliu! ones, even s:6lain the arrest und ndvise the Government to act with coolness. Wo have no pace íor the windy demiDCiations, and, as tho Queeh's messenger is aiready in Washington, we prefer to wait official aetion. If the English Cabinet had duterniined on a war with usbefore thi aflair of the Trent, it may máke it n preteXt, the English record is sueh that it enn not nMikeittho causo. We think iheaober second thonght of the English peoplö Tfill moderate thcir dm&nds. Ttiroughout our country we see no exliibition of craven fetr. Tho dinpoBÍttOtl is to ad vise our Government to plan itelf upon the right, anti if tho la wh of nations jnstiHos the arrest o{ Mason and Slidell, to hold thern and let tho world howl. - The first reporta indicated that Frunce would side with Engknd in demanding redress, but later advices show that French sentiment is not iu iavor of hostilities.
