We have any quantity of coffee at
fifty cents per pound. and some two
hundred cks of this article arrived

gardens are weaving their carpets Of
green; buildings are going up, and
our city is not only widening but be
coming more corpulent, and we will
venture the assertion that there is no:
town in the State that pays day

European Sentiment on American Affairs.

Mr.. Thurlow Weed, who arrived home
on the Persia last week, at dinner at the
Astor House, gave the following statement
in regard to European sentiment on Amer
ican affairs:
The state Of public sentiment abroad,
he said, was far from gratifying. The
French government cherished no friendly
sentiments toward us, and the people were
little better. But Prince Napoleon was
our most sincere, earnest friend, and loss
no occasion 10 do us friendly offices. The
British ministry was divided. Lord Pal
merston and Earl Russell were adverse to
us; other members of the cabinet were
warmly affected toward the North. The
Queen, whenever she could say word, al
ways expressed the most decided SYM
patty with us. Prince Albert had always
been the devoted friend of this country,
aud bis last public act had been to modify
a dispatch which the ministry lad prepar-
ed to send to Lord Lyons.
The general unfriendly sentiment cher
ished toward us in the old world Mr.. Weed
attributed to the treacherous conduct OF
our diplomatic agents abroad. Full one
third Of them had for years been engaged
in preparing the public mind in Europe for
the contemplated revolution, and large
number of Southern Congressman had par
ticipated in the treason. We in America
could have but an imperfect idea Of TIE
condition of popular sentiment on that con
tinent. DR.. Russell WIS one of our best
friends in England. He took every occa-
sion TO express his sympathy for the North.
He spoke at the clubs to members Of Par
lament, and to everybody whom he en-
countered. He pronounced our army the
finest in the world; the raw recruits were
equal to veterans in other countries. Cap
italists were surprised most of all. Or
country was dismembered, and its extinc-
ton threatened by civil war of monstrons
proportions; yet we met all the expenses
and were able to continue to do SO for ter
years without recurrence to foreign contri
buttons; and our funds had not deprecia-
ted since the breaking out of hostilitiea
There was no other country in tho world
capable Of such a financial ochevomont

Gen. Butler and the CoHsulS

Gen. Butler, when he seized nearly a
million Of dollars in specie, which had
been stolen mostly from the United States
Mint at New Orleans and hidden in the
vaults Of certain consuls, or rrat snlaa
consuls, was too good lawyer to be bluff
cd off by the waving Of foreign flags
That money belonged to the United States,
and no consul had right to lend his aid
TO rebellion and become an accomplice in
crime By secretng it. Consuls have no
privilege which render their houses a shell
scr for infractions Of the law. Neither are
they entitled to the usual diplomatic inn
munities. They are subject to the local
law in the same manner with other foreign
residents owing temporary allegiance to the
State. In fact, they are not public minis
tiers in the received sense Of the term, but
only commercial agents whose office ent-
ties them to no peculiar privileges.
Gen. Halleck, il his able work on Intor-
national law states that they are liable to
slomiciliarv visits aud searches, although
their papers and the archives Of the con-
sulates are exempt from seizuFe.--Fe'o
