we prescribe no such harsh reward for these
poor fellows. We say, in down right prose,
"give them nine cheers" That's the soyer-

heals all political bruises. Here goes them

William Sidney Smith. the English Vice
Consul at Hacaaa.
This is the gentle man who, our readers will
recolIect, distinguished himself so highly, by
his humane and generous conduct to the UNI
fortunate prisoners of the Lopez expedition.
Deeply impressed with his services TO our
countrymen, the citizens Of New Orleans pre-
scented him with splendid service of silver as
a testimonial of gratitude, and accompanied the
present with an invitation TO visit their city,.
From several other cities he received q similar
invitation, and in compliance, he landed in
New Orleans in May, and was received with
every demonstration of respect. Mobile, Vicks-
burg, Louisville, and other cities, united 10
show their gratitude to this noble foreigner,
and at each of these places he was received
with distinction which could not but have
been. to the last degree, gratifying. What in
deed can be more grateful than the conscious
ness of having done good deeds. At each o.
the dinners given to him, Mr.. S. manifested
great moral courage, in declaring that the
Spanish Government, and especially the Cap
tain General had acted with much forbearance.
The latter had received orders 10 give no quar-
ter to the invaders, yet he ventured to disobey
those orders, and to preserve the lives of nearly
two hundred. We are happy to say that his
explanations were received in the kindest
spirit, and we doubt not they will have great
effect in preventing any more .flibustering ex-
petitions.
We learn from the Herald that Mr.. Smith is
now in New York, and " i'll return by the way
of Washington to Charleston, at which last
point he will embark for Havana. The Herald
suggests the propriety of giving him some
token of esteem in New York as a dinner, or
something of the sort. Cannot we do something
of the kind here?
1t should be remembered that, the British
Consul, Mr. Crawford, likewise greatly exerted
himself in favor of the Lopez prisoners
Whatever may be said of the foreign policy of
Great Britain, it is but justice to say, that no
nation since the days of Rome, has had such
set of foreign agents. A British subject. no
matter in what quarter of the world he may
be, is sure to find protection under the flag of
his country. This is an admirable feature in
the character of the British Government, and
it is one which every nation on the earth should
strive to initiate. 1t is that, which, above all
others, makes the Engishman proud of his
country, as, to say the truth, he has the great
est possible cause to be.
