mana cement Of the city affair, and IN their nlu'
ence upon public opinion, are part sulnrly denonsts
tive They loudly applaud the efforts Of the Rebels
agains. their legitimate Government speak with m
o,ieptatous admiration Of their victories, and pro-
claim nj the TOP Of their voice that the day IS Dot iaI
distant when they will be rewarded by the enjoy
ment Of their Independence, which England, they
saw will be the frat to acknowledge. These inso-

should be treated by MS with the contempt they
deserve il they were not attended by something

Merchants here are known to have chartered
Oyster barks and sloops 70 have loaded them with
provisions and munitions OF war, and cleared them

Louisiana. These cOntraband expeditions are re
cret TO nobody here IL is not uncommon TO hear
English resident boast Of having sent half dozen
vessels to the Rebels, and to laugh IN his sleeve
at tho good trick played on tho Yankees.

pressed to the desire TO 10 back TO Virginia

selves for the outrages they have experienced at the
