s duration had engendered and rooted in the Southern breast. We had begun to recur to the annals of the olden time, anterior to the Revolution, when it was the pride of our ancestry to proclaim and inculcate a devoted loyalty to the British crown. We reflected that the tides of immigration that had set in upon American shores for so many years had spread themselves over the North, and had very little overflowed into our Southern boundaries; that our blood was, in consequence, still purely English, and that ties of consanguinity, if they had any force, bound us more closely to the English than to the hybrid and motley races that inhabit the North. These remote recollections, these obvious reflections, and the feelings naturally springing from them, were fast producing a strong partiality for the mother land in the hearts of our race; and we were looking with an interest, somewhat dramatic, to the reception which our Commissioners would receive — not from the British Government, whic

The reviling of the leading British journal are even more gross and vulgar than the condensed dispatch had represented them. It is wanton, gratuitous, brutal, and blackguard.

This cost is supposed to be about three millions of pounds sterling, or fifteen millions of dollars, and poor Messrs Slidell and Mason are charged with the sum.

Upon this state of facts, with a logic worthy of the intellectual Times, and of the leading exponent of British opinion, that journal charges this affair, not to Commander Wilkes, nor to the Yankee Government, but to the innocent, passive, and helpless victims of the outrage. The great complaint of the British Cabinet was that the British flag had been insulted, and British honor outraged, by the proceedings of WilkWilkes; and with a good deal more reason and logic could the London Times call upon the British public at home to fender no ovation to the flag which had been the cause of the trouble, and to regard the British honor that had been outraged as of no more worth than "two negroes." "This flag and this honor has cost us," it might say, "three millions of pounds sterling; and we owe it to the Exchequer to taboo and pay no mark of consideration to the two baubles that have put us to so much cost.

Times is one of the most remarkable incidents of the war. Our Southern people have not demeaned themselves unworthily in seeking the recognition or sympathy of Great Britain. Our tone towards that people and Government has rather breathed defiance than entreaty. We considered ourselves masters of the situation being fully as ableefits to confer fully equivalent to the benefits we might receive. We recognized the embarrassments which her large vested interests at the North imposed upon Great Britain, and we were not impatient of that recognition and renewed intercourse which we knew to be inevitable, but which we also felt must be delayed for a time. on which our Commissioners would receive — not from the British Government, which we know would be formal and probably not even public — but from the people of Great Britain. The vulgar vituperation of the Times has not at all changed our expectations in this behalf. We are at a loss to know what influences could have led tha
