Extract of a letter dated London, 10th March, to a friend in this country.
"The English are inexpressibly mortified at the news from New-Orleans, & the American character, I am happy to say, is exalted very much in the eyes of Europe, by the bravery and humanity with which the navy and army have conducted themselves during the whole of the war—indeed the name of an American is highly considered, and all now agree that it has been much undervalued. I heard Gen. Riall say, they were as fine a population as any in the world, and would 'do more in a few hours to strengthen a position than any other set of troops." Fed. Gaz.
