Robert Bunch, Esq, Her britannia Majestys
Consul at this port. took passage in the steamer
Charleston, on Saturday last. and visited tho frig-
ate Minnesota. lie went there to have confer
ence and understanding respecting the British
schooner Eliza and Cntharinc, now loaded i'm this
port for tho Bahamas. This vessel came into this
shnrbor some days book, with cargo of fr1it &cs
when there was no vessel off the place. She dis.
charged and loaded Immediately, and on Friday
last proceeded to sea- When near the Minnesota
she was brought to by cannon shot, the captain
compelled to go on board the man Of -%ar and after
nn examination, she was ordered back to port to
discharge and leave in ballast Considering the
sham of n blockade which hns q part of the time
existed here, it was clearly her right TO- proceed
with her cargo, and rs this tho opinion of Her
Majcsty's Consul, ho went to place matters right.
After some conversation, conducted in good feeling
on both sides, permission given to the Eliza
and Cntharine to depart with her cargo, and she
will leave here to-day.
During the interview. the condition Of the coun-
try was alluded to-, and the Consul observed that
entire nnannity characterized the people hcrc
when they said in reply that the North had the
most money and men, and would certainly use
thom to the utmost to put down the present move
mcnt
The Norwegian bark Admiral Terdcnskjold now
here, but which has been ordered to leave in bal
last came into port under precisely similar crcum
stances rs the British schooner, but Sweden and
Norway have not as many dollars and bayoncts as
the British Empire, and the vessels of the former
will perhaps have to leave empty, and thereby
miss valuable freight.
llowLINo OVER E,LswoRTH.-Thc howl of
| rage and excitement raised through the North
over tho death Of their chief bully Of the I,u.
aycs, is second only to the uproar which they
raised when they tried to intimidate Virginia
from hanging that eminont Ohio saint, the late
John Brown. What IN exceedingly moderate,
modest aud rational idea, that they should in
vade our country. with the most horrid threats
against oil we hold dear, and that if we raiso a
weapon in self.defence, it is the most internal
ed in the annals of mankind. They expect
their men to 60 to war, and if ono ofSthe
T I" lambs" gets killed. 1t is an unheard Of bru.
tality. They expect to como on Virginia soil
and Profano 1t with their accurscd presence,
