"Last night the President received a telegraphic despatch from some person in New York relating to a rumor or statement brought by passengers in the Pacific, to the effect that a crowd or mob, very much excited by the representation that the Ministry designed to go to war with the United States, assembled around Lord Palmerston's house, in a threatening and resentful manner, and that Mr Buchanan appeared before them and gave them satisfactory assurances that there was no danger of the occurrence of a war between the two countries, and that so far from having demanded his passports, in consequence of any difficulty, the correspondence between him and the government had been of a very amicable nature.
How much truth there may be in this despatch I cannot undertake to judge, but it appears that the Times' article, if it could raise a mob, could not much affect United States' securities on the stock exchange."
