occa,oned by rumors of war with the Uni

handed his passports. Mr.. Buchanan was OBJ
liycd publicly to contradict the rumOr.
There was no news of importance from
the Crimea. Both armies were going into
winter quarters.
The London Times, in a series of skilful-
lv-malciOus editorials, started the sub cct,
which, exaggerated by the Provincial press,
speedily attained surh dimens iOns that extras
were issued announcing that the American
Minister had demanded his passports. Cen
eral establishment and energetic protests
were heard against Government, forcing the
nation into so dangerous war.
A Liverpool agent autographed to his Ex-

iy and courtcouslv sent him the following
explicit contradiction of the rumOr:-
