Spanish Ideas of United States officers
--Extract from a commercial letter, dated Barcelona, 1st July:‘"Here all the sympathies are with the South. If we are to give credit to the news coming from New York, you must be very much frightened by the formidable preparations of war at the North. However, it is not so, and I think that, on the contrary, the North will be frightened to see themselves in the hands of Generals like Pierce, who commanded the skirmish at Great Bethel."’
