turn presented whole regiments Of fellow countrymen
whose social status made the propriety Of marching
through Coventry with them at least doobtfn little
too might and then be pardonable con
corning the diplomatic ENJOYS from the free and indie
pendent republic Of the United States. We confess that
New York Ioafer, border rufan from Kansas,
Irish bogtroter, Western barkeeper, OF q militia

In respect believe does the present United States
Minister Mr. Dallas unfavoratly contrast With his distn
gushed predecessors We fanced at the tine that there

ton with the prize ring. This, however from the tone
of the remarks in an article from the My fosx HERALD
which We on Thursday published would sem not to have
been the case. The American newspaper deliberately
classes the individuals lately presented 10 the Queen Of
England among the pugilsts and shoulder hters with
whom the refined Classes in the United States
would consider IL degradation 10 associate We
had no special knowledge Of the POSITION held
by these persons in their own countf we had
but the guarantee Of their Ministcf for their
thorough respectability; and We have now but
the word of the NEW York HERsp, which
must be confessed dsparaees the morale the

etiquette but easy morality of continental court the
Scarlet lady herself hight have been presented IL her
husband had been the right side in po is; and we
are afraid that more than Comtesse de ucassehec
has made her curtsey under diplomatic wing 1t her Ma
jesty's drawing rooms; but We must admit our bewder-
the error fallen into BIZ Mr. Dallas in the eytraor
binary guests he thought proper TO introduce TO the
