COMMITTEE. aIf trrf
We received intelligence yesterday, ola New
York, that the man had been re urned TO New
Orleans, and that the last Obstacle TO fair trial Of
the Spanish Consul was thus reasvrd. The In
tsagtner and Republic of this moroinp saw tina,
The delivery Of Rey was IN obedience To rsaui-
sllion OF the American Consul AZ Havana fhow
ese?) IN pursuance Of instructions rom the P,e-.
dent; and the exultation Of the Two cabinet or
gans is amusing enough; as # the administrator.
in demanding the prisoner, had done an act Of ia
uepdity calculated to astonish all Chrstendop.
1t was plain act of duty, and p,st about a. Ire.
from danger as would have been a similar dema,d
on the King OF the Sandwich Iaands. We hsv.
no doubt that General TIA, Ter conside red il as
simple matter of duty, and nohng more, and ,hs.
he will be surprised at the oodaess Of the requisi
non when he comes TO understand It as exclaimed
ny Mr' Gales and Mr.. Bnllitt, anu will laugh in
his sleeve at their applause.
Nobody, acquainted with General Taylor's his
tory, will he astonlshed al the ,moptItude of his
demand. And though Mr.. CL,yton night have
thched, We know that the same punctuaiitv weub
have been paid to the vndIcailoa IT the national
honor by the President, had the ot.eace been com
miied by subordinate OF Queen Victoria instead
of the agent OF Queen Christina
While upon this subject vt CoDsuls, il may be as
we'll to remind Mr.. Clayton thai W. nave Consul
al Paris who does not represent the sentiments OF
this people in Europe Educat d Is Jesuit, and
Of long experience as writer III support of eg,,i-
mate government IN opposition 10 republican inno-
vstlons, II Is not surprising that he should be the
dtit ndeT OF the dis2raceful war upon Roms-ths
advocate oil an illegitimate N .,,J,son, and tls
champion OF The autocrat Of thr C,ossacks--ths
opponent OF the people at large, aud the instrument
OF the aristOcratlc circle Of de :ayei nebigsse
now resusc,tating, and OF cup res-ei Jesuts, now
spriDgIng again Ito active intrgu-s for the suo-
pre- ssIon OF republican ideas. Mr. Walsh has been
in Paris TOO long. He has become ,d-nt,tied with
the couIters OF the throne, aad has forgotten the
country and the people that n. represents. But
every agent of the United States abroad, who Ia
satisfied with the despicgbe Oh lricter of an apollo
est FOR despotsn, should be promptly dismissed
Mr.. Sules presents himself IN 4 more obn oxious
attitude than even MIR. Walsh. Tue latter Is an
anopymous contributor 10 the periodical literature
Oi the day, and through that channel defe ads the
exploded doemas OF royalty. The t"rlner acts the
part OF suppiiant at court IN his official Capacity
and, the representative OF ,udrpr dent people
Al Olo2lzes III a case where he ought to have en-
hibiled The temper OF an ind gnant American
Mr.. Clayton, II Is understood will propose, in
due season, some revlslons the consular systsn
and IN our diplomatic system; and we hope il will
Inc ude all advocates OF royalty, aud all who, o.
dema nd. apologize Tor American institutions as
unworthy the confidence OF the government.
