from the Richmond Exsmiasr, Aug. lbJ
The London Times and several other EngIish "a

denouncing everything connected with the United
States, have been inceasant and truly ferocious in
their denunciation Of the administration in conse

OF the United States Senate always fearless and
eloquent IN denouncing the cruelty and cowardy in

These papers also assert that he has again and
again expressed himself hostile to the best interests

Times with an Ignorance of the subject only equal

asserts that In the appointment Of Mr. Soue the ad

OF civilized nations. They take the broad ground
that no diplomatic or commercial representative can
secure the confidence and esteem OF nation that
has been the repeated object of his deuuucaton and
abuse They extend the doctrine to consuls as well
"A TO ambassadors; and the Times, with the pro
verbal impudence and selfconcet of that organ Of
English sentiment, congratulates its readers upon
the superior tact Of the English government in such

by the whir party but by the leading journals Of
Great Britain We deem that we have perfect right

British government, in maknga consular appoint

Of this country.
We refer 20 the British Consul at Norfolk, the
well known novelist q. z. II. James, who, having
exhausted his stock OF solitary horsemea, and ran
sacked modern and ancient history in search Of
heroes Tor his hatb'ock novels now holds the Office

o' Dflicting terrible chastsemeut upon the United

fear that, had Mr. James been incautiously touched

The poem. OF song, was published in the Uniyer-

capital opportunity for carrying out his most cher.

the fierce earnsstness With which he calls for war.
