The Lansing State Republican

The Foreign Ministers at Washington.—A gentleman who recently reached this city from the Federal capital, informs us that up to a very recent period the representatives of foreign governments, who reside there, had been utterly disgusted with the want of vigor shown by our government in checking the movements of the rebels who had assailed it, and that they had been compelled to suppose that we were about to duplicate the deplorable history of Mexico, and to fall into an inextricable state of anarchy and confusion. But since they have witnessed the manner in which the proclamation of the President was responded to, and beheld the great, and to them, the unexpected uprising of the American people it has occasioned, they were at once amazed and delighted with this evidence of our patriotism, and of our determination to place in the field a force before which treason would be compelled to cower and hide its hideous head. We have no doubt that the tenor of their dispatches to Europe has been very essentially modified by this wonderful demonstration, and that this has a new, and we trust, an insurmountable obstacle has been created to the recognition of the rebel commissioners by any of the European courts.—Philadelphia Press.
