Marcy buried eG Campbells commission by the
first steamer; and letters sent to the legation
that Campbell would come out by the next, int-
mating that Mr.. Buchanan should push matters for
ward to have the exequatur in readiness. The Min
lister at sent the usual notice to the Secretary
OF Foreign AT irs but probably did not feel it deco
rous to &c that RESPECTABLE functionary to any
unusual haste. The exequstur WAS, therefore, only
received in the ordinary course of dpom itic move
ments, about ten days after Campbel's arrival, all
Of which time Gen. Campbell was in the greatest
state of excitement lest it should not come at last
some misctievous bhoys having spreal the rumor
that the exequatur wonld be withheld because Of
Campbell's difficulty with the British Consul at
Havana.
By the time be got it he had began to take diff
ferent view Of the glorious work he sent out 10
perform. He tried all his logic, however as direc.

While at the same time he was to keep up the farce
Of courtesy and consideration, general impression
exciting that it would be only common oivility,
under ell the circumstances, TO allow Sanders to

Affairs. Campbell called at the consulate and ar

Sanders replied that at any moment that his su,.
cessCr desired II, he was quite ready to give
him full possession. He had only to say 80 plainly,
but that Campbell was too old q consul himself
not to know that NO snch necessity as be spoke Of
existed. The fact Is, that Sanders' own exequatur
lay several months b fore he entered on the duties
Of his Office; snd, after bis arrival in London he re-
queeted Col Aspinwa to continue in tho duties for
to make his arrangements. This consideration on
the part Of Sanders was warmly approved OF at the
tiue by the minister. General Campbell found that

ont coming to any conclusion. But irritated at his
popular sentiment by sense Of shame at being the
instrument Of administrative revenge, aud still
hsr1assed by his fear Of the ponderous Secretary
State, Campbell drove down to tho consulate day
or two after, late on Saturday afternoon, as Sanders
WAS just leaving, and told him the fact was that be

Monday for tie delivery Of papers, keys, and 80 on,
In regular order. Campbell rejoined that Tuesday
when the steamer left Bus BY Monday morning he
had worked himself mp to such nervous state
that he absolutely could not stay out. Forgetting

something else that gentleman should always
remember, be made . rush for the Office in . kind

at Fentons, who, accor ding to London hours, were

wiped Of seat with her apron, and begged the
gentleman, who introduced himself as the new Con-
sui to excuse the dust.
Campbell seated himself in one Of Sanders Yam
kee chairs, and breathed long breath. % At
length said he to himself, a. ON in. But it was
