The recent ADDRESS OF the lAhHse AtnSAels
sUMNER, delivered in New York, ssys the Rich
mond Hliq, betays 3 lively sense Of peril to his
country from foreign complications The bur

tion on The part Of France snd England for in
reference in this war, showing that the immense
danger from these Sources weighed SO hesviiy
