The International Stats teal Congress, at
which the United States was insulted in the
person Of its representative, was, after all, in
point of numbers, very slim affair, ded NC ting
the English delegates and visitors present
The report before us in the London Times
shows one delegate from each OF the European
States and the rest were delegates from Brit
ish colonies. There was a considerable out
side attendance of noblemen and gentlemen,
among whom was Mr.. DALLAS. The Ameri-
can minister was not present as a member, but
only as spectator, and could therefore have
hardly been expected to reply to the imperti-
nence OF Lord BRoUGHAM. This males the
case worse for his lordship and for the Con-
gress, and better for MIR. DALLAS, than the first
statement, because the insult was aimed at an
individual who had no opportunity TO reply
The apology of Lord BRoUGHAM cannot atone
for the insult TO the United States, because it
was the Congress, presided over by the Prince
Consort OF Great Britain, which endorsed by its
applause this insult, and TO which we NAV
reasonably look as the real exponent of British
opinion and sentiment The Congress cheered
Lord BRouGaAM's indecsncy, and the presid-
ing officer, the husband Of Queen VICTORIA
did not check the offensive demonstration.
