srIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union publishes a letter from Dr. E..

care Senator Douglas now is, communicating
the intelligence of that gentlcmans serious
and Protracted Illness, which viii be received
with sincere regret, indeed, by Mr.. d.. large
circle Of warm personal friends in this city.
The doctor has no hope that his recovery will
be speedy, and adds that it is impossible for
him to say, at this time, how long 1t will be
before his patient will be in condition to
leave his room.
The HtelIigeneer says:
TIE AMERICAN MINISTER IN LoNpoN-The
subjOined letter was addressed by Mr. Bu-
chanan, our Minister in England, to the Times
newspaper, denying the statement which had
been put forth by that paper of assurances
given to the British Government by the Amer
lean Minister, when the war first broke out in
the East, Of the sympathy and support of our
Government and people, and that the United
States were willing to make the quarrel Of
England their own, and ready to aid her with
thousands Of stout hearts and brawny arms
There were abundant reasons why nobody on
this side Of the Atlantic, we presume, gave any
credence to so improbable a statement, which
indeed carried contradiction on its face; yet il
positive and grave an allegation with the
prompt and explicit contradiction which is
contained in the annexed note addressed to
the Times, but which it appears that print
had the unfairness to refuse to publish
Tho American Minister presents his COM
pliments to the editors Of the Times, and as
Snres them that they have been "msinformed"
with respect to the expressions and conduct at
tri6uted to him in the leading article of this
morning. Always mindful of the neutrality
OF his Government, which he fully approves,
IT was with deep regret he learned as he first
did from W ashington, that attempts were made
IN the United States to recruit soldiers for the
British army; because he felt confident that
these attempts would tend to weaken the
friendly relations between the two countries
which 1t has been his ardent desire, ever since
AIS arrivalin England, to cherish and promote
90 The American Minister can, of course. Ell +.
ter into no discussion in the public journals of
Questions between the two Governments, or
state what Is or what is not contained in an "
correspondence which may have arisen out OF
these questions; but he has felt it due both to
the Times and himself to mako this prompt
correction.
