SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. © The Intelligencer comments at length on the Jast war aud State news from Europe, remark- ing that while the Allies are building new works for the attack, the Russians are build- ing still stronger ones for the defense of Sebas- pol. Or, in other words, that a triumph for the Allies before Sebastopol is now further of than ever. Pellissier, it seems. is opposed to any movements of the Allies from before Se- bastopol fer the purpose of attacking or occu- pying any other point. His policy is to de- vote all their means to the preservation of the present seige, and that only. Of the retire- ment of Lord John Russell from the Palmes- ion ministry, the Jntedligencer says : “The ure jin the British House of Com- mons and uistry} was consequent upon a motion to censure Lerd John for his course in the Vienna jations. His political adver- varies accuse him of equivocation; but we much questicn if they ever convict him of so dishonorable a charge. Error of judgment they may prove, but we have much mistaken the character of the man if it shall ever be thown that he has acted dishonestly or falsely ‘The fact we take to be simply this: the nation would have war, the war has proved disas- trous, and the nation must have a scape-goat upen which to lay the tin of their own folly, short-sightedness, and disappointment.

The circum- stances which gave Lord Russell this pre-emi- nence were the disclosures he made in his speech of the 6th inst. (cited in our editorial columns of yesterday) reepect! the want of unauhnity between himself and his colleagues on the subject of the war—in other words, that he, as British Plenipotentiary, expressed him- self at Vienna in favor of the peace p sale mooted by Count Buol and approved of by M.

Some surmised that he would try to assuage the storm by accepting the resignation of Lird Russell, and others supposed that Lord Pal- merston would evade further responsibility by himself retiring. Another rt is, that when Lord Russell goes out he will take the Grey section of the Cabinet with him, and that Lord Palwerston will fill their place: by more de- cided men out of the Itberal ranks. And. finally, rumors from other quarters whisper of Lord Derby as the coming man with another coalition Cabinet.’” The Union laughs over the discomfiture Kenneth Rayner has received at the hands of Mr. Barringer, saying in the course uf his re- marks: “ He is &Ppresentat Saratoga Springs. in the State of New York, and he poor to a gen- tleman from this city, of unquestionable intel- ligence and integrity, that the conversation with the Nunecio of the Pope concerning the cabinet of President Pieree, which has been made the foundation of so much falsehood and calumniation, transpired subsequently to the snauguraiion of pales 1853, and to the re- ception of the intelligence thereof, and of the Sr of President Pierce's cabinet, in Ma- rid. ~*Mr. Barringer also stated that he had ad- dressed two letters to Mr. Rayner, of North Carolina, stating the time of the conversation, and its cirewmstances and purport, and asking that geutleman to do ali parties the justice to state the facts in the ease, but that Mr. R had suppressed both letters, and bad wholly refused to currect the falsehoods in the preui- ises. «Mr. Barsinger also expressed his rpose to publich his last letter upon the subject to pm jp in a few days, if the proper correction retraction was not made by that gentle- man. * Thus perishes another Know-Nothing ca- Jumpy.’ —_——.____ Es" We have received, from Little, Son & Co., the July number of the “Panorama of Life and Literature,” containing many valua- ble articles of interest to the literary reader.

Kenneth Rayner’s Mare’s West.—The fact that Kenneth Rayner was the author of the printed and spouted version of Barringer’s Pope’s-Nuncio-stery, if nothing else, was suf- ficient to lead us to discredit it from the start.. Rayner was once in Congress, where he earn- td the reputation of being an exceedingly “* seattering’’ man in his system of warfare on his opponents, and passed for as unserupulous a partizan in a melee on the floor, about, as any man so far sent from any State to the House of Representatives of the United States. He dealt largely in hyperbole, the habit being an incident to his mental organization, for which he could hardly be said to be responsi- bie; as it was, as it is to this day, a part of his nature to see a mountain in” €very mole-hill on the surface of the acts or policy of those to whom he is opposed, and a mole-hill ouly in every mountain excrescence that disfigures his own side. We knew at a glance, that however mon- strous Barringer’s original story was, Rayner had stretched it wonderfully; that it was “agin his natur’’ to retail it without dressing it up in the mask and skin of a “ raw-head and bloody bones.”” It seems that Barringer has fixed on him the fact that he did so. The Union's emphatic denial of the story, a: founded altogether in fiction, if not mualize, and the Baltimore Republican's scorching ro- buke of the mendacity of attempting to elve- tioneer by moans of the circulation of such barefaced and inexcusable falsehoods, have together foreed Barsinger out of his bole. The ex-editor of the Organ (who, when figuring a! the heal of a newspaper, loved nothing so well as te devote bis columns to the dissemina- tion of foul eggs from mares’ nests, which were so silly on their face as to make men of com- mon sense Jaugh over his want of practical brains, as illustrated in his apparently firm belief that the community were such fools a= to be gulled with any and everything wonder- falin his Pierce and Forney stories,) having repeated in his fourth of July oration Ray- ner’s utterly untrue version of what Barringer told him, initiated the investigation which proves that the stury—jor which el! of them, originator and retailer, Nos. I and 2, are re- sponsible—is utterly untrue; false in its origin, false in its details, false in al! its elements, as the Union said of it. The result of this in- dustrious gentleman’s labors was the extrac- tion of letters from Rayner and Barringer to him, in which Rayner admits that Barringer refuses to substantiate what he retailed az coming from him, and trom Barringer a letter, Which he quotes as follows: * You are mistaken as to the purport of the remarks made to me by the representative of the Pope at Madrid. It was xo¢ that he knew beforehand that Mr. Campbell would be ap- pointed, and as x member of the Catholic church, er that he knew asything about it be- fore the appointment was actually made. What Thave said, and what I repeat ts, that before ! had any certain news of the formation of the Cabinst, and while its constitution was stell in doubt, aid the subject of conjecture tn the putlie mind af ‘Mordeid he told me that Mr. Campbell was appointed, and that hewas a Catholic, which was the first infor- mation I had of either fuct.”” Tho reader will perceive, from what Barrin- ger says, that Rayner’s version of the story was a regular ‘‘ ten thousand cats’’ one. It secms that, 'f Barringer is to be believed in such a cage, the Nancie was first to inform him of Judge Compbell’s appointment to the Postmaster Genera!ship—that’s all ; thouga ke does not say whether this took place five miu- utes, une hour, one day, or one week before he learned the fact through his American let- ters or newspapers, or how long before it was known to all in Madrid who took interest in Awerican public affairs. Those who know the customs and the perfection of the diplomatic arrangements of the governments of Europe are well aware that, except in particular emer- geneies, the despatches of Spain, France, Eug- land. &e., &e., are sent between London and Madrid, or Vienna. or Berlin, and return dis- patches received in the lime it takes those of the United States. (often sent to save expense, by straggling American tourists who stop along the way to see the sights.) to reach Madrid, Vienna, cr Berlin, or any other European capital to be named. So it was the most nat- ural thing in the world that nearly evciy diplo- matist in Madrid (of whom the Nuacio was one) should know the composition of the Cabi- net of President Pierce before Barringer did, more especially as ho speaks no language but the English, aud that indifferently well, ex- cept, it may be, the dialect of Cherokee, spoken in his younger days by the real Native Amer’- cans indigenous to his section of North Caro- lina. Barringer erved long in Congress, and is as well known in Washington, almost, as the town pump. Thus he is well known to have been a congressional slew coach; that is @ thick-skulled man—though a correct and well-meaning genticman. He was also famous as a Mousiewr Trop Tard—a man prone to be a little late in every thing. Readiness never was an attribute of his, and never will be; and it is extremely likely that all the rest of the diplomatists in Madrid knew whom President Pierce had selected for his cabinet offisers from twenty-four hours to a week be- fore Mr. Barringer became possessed of like information. As tothe fact that Mr. Post. master General Campbell is a Catholic, that was published in every opposition paper in the land for months before the Cabinet was formed as alsoin nearly every newspaperin Europe; fur it was in all that time, the cubjoet of beated newspaper discussiou on this side of the Atlan- tic. In saying that he did not know that fact until informed of it by the Nuncio, Barringer merely proves that we are correct in descrily ing him as emphatically a Monsieur Trop Tard. Every man, woman and child in the United States, who reads the bewspapers, knew it from the date of his defeaton account of his religion, wheu running on the Demoer - tic ticket in Pennsylvania; and every person in Europe who reads American papers or United States correspondence of European pipers knew it within a month or go after the Presidential election; as in a week after tha event it was génerally known here that Mr. Buchanan would urge Judge Cawpbell, Cath- olie though he was, for the Postmaster Genera!- ship; which fact was known over Europe as soon afterwards as stéam and the telegraph could bear it thither and dissem...te it. But evenerediting Mr. Barringer with al! his proverbial obtuseness, as Judge Campbell's religion and the probabilities of his appoint- ment toa seat inthe Cabinet were discussed in nearly al! the papers of the opposition for some four months before he wag actually called into the Cubinet, that Ae (Barringer) should have beard of his religion fur the first time after his appoyntment, is & story too nonsensical for sane folks tw believe on any other hypothesis than that of his having taken due care not to read an American paper on hisown side in poli- | ADDITIONAL FOREIGN INTE: tics, from the election of Frank Piercetohisin-| BY THE STEAMER ATLANTIC. auguration, and also to have as assiduously es THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL. chewed the American correspondence of th = ye ieee of var remain cor bene — only other nowspapers he could real—of these repulse of June bat o permanent c ‘So ‘ published in the English language on the oth- beopsesustpined bP. the Desi : sbi: regiments which suffered ¥ ou the recont erside of the Ailantic.
