unjust impataiion is cast upon the character
OF DIR. Snnpter, our minister at the court of

iieaid Mr. Sumpter spoken of in the highest
lei ms OF Prospect and appreciation for his sp-
rited and energetic defence of American
rishis-and never before heard doubt sug.
gested OF his want OF energy aud spirit. The
late outrageous insult offered the rational
Tag aud American citizens, at Rio de Ja-
neiro, was most promptly aud spiritedly re-
seDied, * satisfaction Immediately demanded
All letters from that quarter, it is said speak in
Tue most iihttering terms ot his conduct aud
nrmnsss, and represent him as the most infueii-
tiai and respected public agent at that court
Ii must, howe he highly gratifying to every
real American, to learn that government is de-
tcIm,hed 10 demand redress for the late insult
ohered our hag and citizens and, il MIR. Ora
