The Bffeet of the Late Engllih news upon the Confederate Leadera. From the Richmond Examiner, Dec. 10. AU other topliics become trifles beside the tidings of England wfcich occupies this journal, and all commentary that diverts public attention from that single point is impertinence. f.BFOir?{ KT The effect of the outrage of the Trent on ] the public sentiment of Great Britain, more than fulfills the -prophecy that we made ?when the arrest of -the Confederate'Minis ters was a fresh event All legal quibbling and selfish calculation has been consumed like straw in the burning sense of incredi I ble insult. The Palmerston Cabinet has I been forced to immediate and decisive measures; and a peremptory order to Lord Lyons comes with the steamer that brings the news to tbe American shore. He is di ! rected to demand the unconditional sur render of Messrs. Mason and Slide)), to place them in tbe position they were found I beneath the British flag, and a complete disavowal-of their seizure as an author ized act. Now, the Northern Government has placed itself in such a position that it craJlo,nppte[ of these .things. Tte aboli tionist'element of the Northern States I would go straight to revolution at the least i luqv.ement towards a surrenders of the cap : lives. The arrest was mode by the delib I crately written orders of tlie Government, i already avowed and published beyond the I hope of apology or possibility of retrac tion. f i j The United-States can do absolutely I nothing but refuse the demands of Great | Britain and abido the cunsAuieaces of that I refusal. What they will bK^ be clearly ; foretold:?First, there willSfe l|ie diplo- j matic ^rupture; Lord. Lyonjfrill? demand nis passports, and Mr. AdaK will be sent' away from'London: ThetMwUl follow an immediate recognition of the Southern ' Confederacy, with encouragement and ajd j in fl(iiqg .put .it*, result -and aapptjriig their wants ia Iho British poru aud is' 1 lands. Lastly, a -war trill b.einvolred from these two events. Such iq the latest and most serious re sult of the real, raving madness that has settled on the peopleor the Northern States ! and thut-bas guided all flheir steps for the i last two years. Every reasonable creature in the world, out-of their own nation, fore saw the consequences of theirconduct dur ing the summer and fall of 1800. The warning was thundered at them from ev ery side, their own eyes looked full at the point of tHV*glittering sword which'the South held steadily out to them, aud on which their ruling party rnshed with all the eagerness of the bull on the metador of the Spanish arena. Then came the j proclamation of Lincoln. Nothing bat in sanitycould have dictated it; and without it the,secession of ViQpnla was impossible. Then'theircrnzy attempt to subdue a coun try, not less.difficult to congner than Kus sia itself, wiih An armed mob of-loafers.? Finally, thejr lnoacy '^haa culminated in a useless, mean,' odious action, that, "^under uo-circumstances; c^fafd'dothelr'ca'use the least good, and which was bound to .in volve them in a bloody quarrel with an ad versary of double the strength of the United States in ita best day, and which now has but to close its band and destroy its impu dent assailant as a man would crush a fly that baa settled on,bis pnlrn. Spectators of these events, who can doubt that the Almighty fiat has gone forth against the American Union, or that the Southern Confederacy is decreed by the Di vine wisdom? The.dullest worldling, the fcoolest atheist,-the most hardened cynic, might be.struck with awe by the startling and continued* interposition of a power be yond the control or cognizance of men In | these affairs; " ' gle are so i I accountable C sible to avoid the conclusion that the acts I of halioft4 are now submitted to a superior | band. Had but one such event occurred it 'might be reckoned an ordinary chance ? | But each has been followed , by another l more wonderful than its gred?*essor, while I tbey all'have an ideatical tendency, ,and move forward, b^ inexorable sequence to the same go?K 1 Jf&ne* of^them, however, nnd Indeed no miracle of man's history, is more singularly distinguished from the ^qp.nynpn contingencies if ; birth ly transit tions, than the arrest of those two minis ters on 'mid -^ceapf thought that when the TmrrhtVannoancetfio sail that on itfl deck* and in Che troagh of tbe'#0l tering Atlantic, the key of the blockade T-'AJM -j.Wbp dreamM.tbft tbo chief element 10 theslnfe would entor from that unnoticed door?

In either case be is mined: Af ter the^rave talk and the congratulations to Wilkes by both Cabinet nnd Congress, it would be'to tbe last dfjrre?- pusiil mimous to retreat. We think Lincoln will be afraid to-prove so-grrat a coward. We are beppy to see it stated that bold "defiance" prevails nt Washington. Bra vo I The New York Tries. indeed, from which-we quote, while tremblingly admit ting tbe imminence of Wir. hopes that the. way of retreat is not closed up against Lin coln. Bat the* Philadelphia Ledyrr is more courageous. It says that the demand of the British nation is evidence of \ hostile feel fbg, and declares that Mr. Line In is bound to meet it with a peremptory refusal. It Bays that tbe demand is an outrage, is ia tended"1 ^eaeinsu It, and is only a pre text fbr>biMinties. !? calls for pushing Operations ast tbe rebels with greater s|j)fOr tbOT ??er, in anticipation of speedy war with finglantf.

From tbe details which bav?? .smce come to band,it seems to have t?e ?!-iiv a severe engagement. The following are tbe par ticnlurs : [Brum tbe Brownivl lie (T-\ . I"! .Nov. 21.] Gen.

On Friday, Gen. Garc: w-.j? sup posed to be inTampico. !-nly marched into Matamoras at th. i : i troop variously estimated at fr.cn >m 000 cav alry. His presence seem' nfuse con fidence at once, for the on which was flying to this side of . r, at once set back to Matamor ?s. pe ople in tbe city began fortifying * . iy in the most secure manuer Barricades were built -s the streets leading out of the main i or public square, and forts were ha ihrpwn up at many places three or t. -'j.iares from the main plsza In .the.meantime th.> pi ?ry mens aref ComaJboicatiriK' ?? th- foreign consuls, and ot warning i foreign resR dents, were duly observ i In this con&? nection, we underhand t one timoU Gen. Caravajal declared t aould ntjff be responsible for the liv. !ir.tpi?rtie*4f foreigners remaining in th- : bat re monstrances made from tliorities, who were appealed t<? in ? matter, pro duced an alteration in aspect, and foreigners were required to ike signals to signify their property i it would be respected. These necessary detail- nsumma ted, on Wedpesday m.o- :.e attack commenced, Caravajal li.m : moved his camp nearer to town. T utark was commenced with a cava!rv :_???? upon the upper eud of the city, in th-- :i nborhood of the cemetery, the assaults: < duran be ing led by Commanders Pen > A orette and Manso. Citizeus of Brown who heard tbe assault state that it sounded as if three I thousand muskets had ex} - 1 at once. In the midst of this terrible r tic of mus ketry the advancing colurn : ? d with enthusiastic gusto, "Viva ! i t!" "Viva Trivinol" tWivaOaravaj.il! The response of the citizens of Mfatamoraa rolled back over the roar of tbe battle, V. t Garcial" "Viva Carpistraol" "Death ? traitors!" In tbe meantime tbe fern - ? idinjr from Brownsville to MaUtnoras were put undo, military surveillance. and ? or.i-nunieations between tbe right nnd lefi nk of the Rio Grande could only be bad bv -itten pass ports from Lient. Colonel Itss iel, of Fort Brown, and from the autho ? - ? ?f Mata moras. Sentinels were sin* ?- I ?n the boats, and the line of commn at ion was entirely broken, as tbe pr . c of Lieu tenant Colouel Buchel dictated that but few of our citisens should he permitted to min gle >in the unfortunateditHi^y in progress among our neighbors. The attacking rforce, according to the meagre details wbicb we b ive besn ena bled to gather, made great he 1 way co wards the main.plaza, at th< outset, driv ing the enemy before them un to within three squares of the public plaza. The time was occupied until daylight in select ing positions aq4^ringiii^r op the reserves for'the onset Of Ibe morning. However, there was a continuous roar of musketry all tbe time, tbe two partes having sta. tioned skirmishers and observers at differ ent points on tbe roofs of the houses. Our people assembled in the greatest ex citement, and io tbe largest multitudes on the river bank, straining their eyes out to catch a eight of tbe flashes of musketry, and bending tbeir ears to hear the roar of firt-jarms and'tfaeb+booting of the different parties. Conjecture ran wild with tbe number of tbe wArriors. with tbe inten tion of tbe assailants, and the determina tion of, the .defenders. Parties cook sides at once, and beta.were offered and taken upon the defence and tbe assault. n'As daylight broke, upon the scene of cuyiflfct hundreds of our citizens sought Sfolops of houses, lined tbe bunks of the Jtver, and rais^tfrthemselves to the tops of trees, to catcM. glance of the exciting if agedy, being played to the shouting ac ' Tors in oar neighboring city ?leri.; Caravajal, ia his fim entry into the city,* bailed aonje&f our citizens on tbe Texas side of the river, at Freeport, nnd informed them that be intended to take tbe town or die in the-nttempt?that be bad an adequate force already in action, and that be bad fourteen.hundred fresh men in re serve. >Mid to. .tell tbe trutb, his force seemed iotcrmioable asftdeployed through the by patbi Ipto full view o"u the river TbeBrjoi (0?r*??j?l'? p'<ri?) com menced * fonr*Tjr!i>o?fm?nt *t an imrt. hoar .fl*r d*ylight, ?oH ia ? ihort Uaia ilia force irifeide tS^fflSS^^mpletely^ iftr: rounded, being hummed,jn m' tile Barricades erectwl for the defense of tbe t^wri werei ttkyiitit the turner knoir,a ai Al bino Lopez's Store, and also in front ?

T(SfCB~ of Gen. Gsrcia sallied Forth and drove tha Mssaflanta back towards/the iiyer. In tbia, u contcftt the defenders of the town presaged their sally by throwing a few bomb shells into Cararajal s quarters, opposite Fre^ po? j and baring cfvated something of a coflfmfop ao^ong tba(flfljo#, they made dug succestful sally. The contestants approacu ed so near the rif^r tb*t their death-deal ing^niaallea fell upon our aide of tbfestream; crearing quite a stampede amongst thgr crowds assembled on tbe bank.' Tbe 5^y ; w**vhort-lired; bowerer, fortbVliijtt SOOQ closed-optfgain, and tbeRojoa left maatera of tbd situation, so far as the su burb* oftbtf town weier concerned. The discharges of musketry were inces sant dnrmg tbe day, bnt with cessations in their rapidity at different intervals. Both parties seemed to be deficient in artillery, as there were bat few reports of cannon heard dur ng the day. Towarda the close of the afternoon of yesterday itis said that a mine wna ex ploded in one of the streets, doing consid erable damage to tbe Rojoa. Immadiate ly after, a large smoke was seen to rise from tbe town, wbicb we beliered to be the dwelling of Yerdore Soles, which was fired by the Rojos for strategic reasons. The consular flags are flying over the city in every direction, and among the number we may notice that of the United States. When oar boys saw that, and when it was reported that a party under Car*Ta jal bad raised it, we all felt like fighting*; but Captain Donnelson rode down tbe river bank and demanded an explanation from an officer on the Mexican side, who 3tated that it was tbe flag over the United States consular residenco, and th.it it was recog nised on tba same ground that tbe Confed erate flag was respected. Judge Bigelow, late on tbe afternoon of ; yesterday, obtained a passport and visited ? the camp of Caravajal, where he was well' received. The Ught of the burrfingf houses was vis ible on our side of the river at a late hour last night.. It is stated that considerable carnage has taken place on both sides; and that the Ro jos have appf'ed'td'Lieut. C.'I. "Biichel for privilege to bring their wounded on this side of the Rio Grande Col. Buehel. Ma jor Gray, and other officers of Fort Brown, have acted with tbe greatest discretion du ring the continuance of the figbt, and so far no bad blood has been stirred up on our side. (Joth parties claim the chances of auc | cess at tbe hour of going to press. Ready for War* \ Whatever may be the case with Great j Britain ai a whole, there is one part of the ' fin pi re-always ready fbf war; "Ifbtitif tft ! Ireland. Let the London journals talk as Ioni as they please, the Dublin journals are able to talk a little louder. If the Timet fulminates, the Nation flisliea lightning; but the wrath of Ireland has tbis peculiar ity, that it is always against England, no matter who may bo the foe. Listeu to the following from tho last Nation : "War I That war I What does it mean? what dues it mt>an for Ireland 7 The Irish nation, too, has it-^inatinita, and these have told it something that fires the eye j and stirs the blood of youth and sire all ? over the land Never, since the shoutof ; American Independence woke an echo in the Church of Dungannon, has news so mo mentous startled Ireland. No prophet's voice is netded to foretell what all foresee. Yes, it rpay be tbi?t God has heeded oar long suffering and heard our fervent pray ers. It may be that at last the day is .lawning 'our fathers* eyes were not to "ee.1 War between England and America I?be } tween Bnland and the Irish abroad; be t veen England aud millions of ournearest nnd'dearest kindred?o'ur own very flesh and blood. There are one^bhndred thous and armed and disciplined Irish soldiers in America?they are the banished Celts whom the Timet proclaimed were 'gone with a vengeance.' Not 4on the slopes of SL Aa toine,1 did 'the Irish troops* of King Louis leap more wildly with excitement than would those vengeful Celts across the west ern ocean, on tbe-news that England drew the Bword against America. In-that hour the bitter memories of a*lifetime?memo ries the most terrible that ever exiles bore ?would find vent in the'ery for vengeance ou their heartless exterminator?-the ex terminator that exalted over their ex patriation, laughed at their sorrows, aod mocked at'their distress. Yes, if England has cause to start in high excitement at the news we chronicle to~dayt Ireland has caase deeper still. The clash of arms in America brought berfreedom once before. She needs but the same firmness, unanimi ty. patriotism ppw, to grasp jt pne* saore." (rron Uw Pljaoalb, Ini, B?pabtlflu.) A Secession Kfiplstle.
