The Niagara's Mails.the British State papers on American affairsletter from Capt. Semmes, of the Sumter. &c., &c., &c., &c., The New York papers of Feb. 26, received at this office on Friday evening last, contain full details of news by the Niagara, which had already been briefly forwarded by telegraph. We extract a portion of the papers relating to the war in America, published in the London Post, of February, 8th, omitting the earlier correspondence, which dates as far back as November, 1860, and is of no possible interest or importance at the present day. With a view to preserve, as history, the official record of the mission of Messrs. Yancey, Rost, and Mann, we commence with. Lord Russell's interview with the Southern Commissioners. Lord Russell, in a dispatch addressed to Lord Lyons on the 11th May, gives an account of an interview he had held with Mr. Yancey and his colleagues. My Lord: On Saturday last I received at my house Mr. Yancey, Mr, Mann, and
Richmond, June 17, 1862. To the Editors of the Dispatch: Will you be good enough to insert in your paper the enclosed communication from my friend, John Finney, of New Orleans. I desire to add to his own statement, that from the month of November, 1860, Mr. Finney has been, to my personal knowledge, a warm and devoted advocate of the cause of the Confederate States; that he was earnest in favor of secession from the moment that Lincoln's election was known; that he has with voice, purse, and hand, defended the independence of the Confederacy; that he was taken away from New Orleans while very ill by friends, who yielded to medical advice and procured from the enemy's General one of the usual printed passports, as a necessary means of saving his life, and that he has not yet recovered his health. A Virginian by birth, married to a Southern lady, and with a numerous offspring born in New Orleans, he has abandoned there everything he possessed, and is now recruiting his

arnestly December 13, 15, 28, and 30, the ex-President says: "There were no available troops within reach." Now, I have nowhere said that either of those forts, even with the reinforcements indicated, would have had a war garrison. Certainly not — My proposition was to put each in a condition, as I expressly said, to guard against a surprise or coup de main (an off-hand attack--one without full preparation.) That these movements of small detachments might easily have been made in November and December, 1860, and some of them as late as the following month, cannot be doubted. But the ex-President sneers at my "weak device" for saving the forts. He forgets what the gallant Anderson did, with a handful of men, in Fort Sumter, and leaves out of the account what he might have done with a like handful in Fort Moultrie, even without further augmentation of men to divide between the garrisons. Twin forts on the opposite sides of a channel not only give a cross fire on the head of
nts of Washington and Richmond and handed over to the immediate and direct action of the people. Is not this sane? Is not this a fit plank for a sound democratic platform? And would not the party which should go before the people with such a platform be irresistible? What surer way — what other way, indeed — to a just and honorable peace, than an armistice and a National Convention ? Had the question of peace or war been remitted to the people of all sections at any time between November, 1860, and March, 1861, there would have been no war. The war was the work, not of the people, but of the partisan leaders. An immense majority of the people of the South, as well as in the North, were against the war. They are against it now; and let them have the opportunity to get together and talk over their difficulties, and they will settle them. Who will say that they shall not have this opportunity? Who will say that the people shall not come together in National Convention in behal
