Sir-Your dispatch No. 3, of 18th August last,
was delivered to me by Dr. Charles Girard, on the
10th instant, and in conformity with the insiruc

views and intentions Of the Administration been

The withdrawal Of Mr.. Mason from London has
had the good effect of revvfhg an interest I'm the
Southern question, and awakening the public in
England from their dream OF continued non inter
vention. From all sources of information In m !
power, and from the expressed views Of inielii-
gent English friends, am led to believe that The
public feeling In England finds true expression in
the editorials from the Tunes OF 2Jth and 31tli
which are herewith enclosed. The greatest recoii
of the measure has been against Lord John Rus

dicatOry of his own course, II the reply 10 your
challenge and proves thai he will persist III his
policy to the bitter end, and Is even ready to over
step the law In order to afford offence TO the Wash
invtou Government. The delivery Of this speech
Is TOO recent 10 permit me 10 inform you OF Ing
ish sentiment In legaEd To II.
The commentary Of the Times will show that
even that ObsequiOus echo OF The Ministry does
not accept and rciterate lord Bussel's Views
without protest, and should lie venture TO carry

ing the law and asking bill OF Indemnify from
Parliament, the experiment may cost him MS

Is growing stronger every day, and In the same
ratio so their antipathy for the Yankees. To fps-

Another drag put upon them was the exhOrt&

as the promised wages were SO high, S" tint the
Yankees now get good deal OF dross with their
