We see it stated in the late news from Europe
that s'General Duff Green has been figuring as
the correspondent Of the Times and other jour,
nails. The General has taken up the cudgels
against the Rev. Sydney Smith. The Times
has been down upon him." This gentleman,
(by the bye, was he ever General p is perfectly
right in taking up the cudgels in defence Of his
countrymen against the abusive attacks Of the
London press aud such "Mipor Canons" as the
Rev. Sydney Smith as long as he is in London !;
but what is he doing there7 Is he the agent u
the Government Is he there ia diplomatic
character Is he under pay as public agent !?
We should like 10 know, and call upon the Gov
ernment organ to answer these questions.


Another paragraph says, /" General Duff Green
has written letter to the Times TO combat the
views of the American correspondent of that
Journal and others, as to the impracticabiity Of
a commercial treaty between England aud the
United States"


1t strikes us there is something very absurd
and ridiculous in Mr.. Green's figuring away in
the public prints in England, and assuming a
kind OF semi-official tone in his communications
as il he spoke for our Government, though not
officially, SO as TO make the Government respon-
sible for whatever sentiments he may utter. Is
Mr.. Everett still the American Minister near the
Court of St. James? We have seen no notice
Of his recall.
