New Orleans and that he is now at
Port Hudson, and expects to bag the

two sugar kettles, which he used as

The enemy opened fire at the first

At first they fired at US with small
arms, but finding that our men crouch

that they could not penetrate or throw

artillery (6lb rihes). Our kettles be-
ing very thick and round, the balls
glanced harmlessly off, and the only
disagreeable effect they had was, the
velocity with which they spun our

BRITIsH CoNsULs.-Ihe Govern
ment at Richmond seems to have
made up its mind (says the Mobile
Telegraph of June 9th) to repudiate
entirely the Consular authority,
which has, hitherto, been undisput-
ed. We learn that such is the case
in Mobile Orders We're received
here last Saturday to this effect.
The telegraph has informed us
that the exequator of Mr.. Moore, the
British Consul at Richmond, has
been "revoked." We We're not
aware, before, that our Government
had granted any instrument of the
kind, or how it could. prior TO the
recognition of the independence of
this country by Great Britain. Ger
tain consular offices were permitted,
by sufferance, but nothing else. II
We understand the matter, as tele-
graphed from Richmond, the Consul
there, apparently presuming on his
tolerance, overstepped the bounds of
modesty and has been brought to
task.
