Mr. hnnrl to Mr, Motley.

i sir. A citizen of the United States has
iuidiefcHed it letter to the I'resldent from 1'aris,
in which lie representb thai lio hadtrnveled ex
tensively in lluropo diiriuK the hibt year, in tlio
course of which he had occasion to see some
Mini pot our Ministers and fonsnls In various
countries; that most of those whom he met
were bitterly hostile to the President and his
administration, and expressed that hostility in
so open a manner as to astonish Americans and
to leave a very bad Impression on Europeans,
He adds, that you do not pretend to conceal
your disgust, as he says you style it, at the
'resident's whole conduct; that you despise
American I lemoerucy, nnd loudly proclaimtii.it
nn Kntlisli treutleman is the model of human
perfection: that the 1'reshlent has. deserted his
pledges and principles in common with Mr
Reward, who, you say. is hoplesly degraded.
Your denial or continuation of the truth ot
these reports is requested.
1 am, sir, your obedient servant,
isignedi William II, si.wakh.
1 o J. I.otlirop Motley, Kvj.
Mr, Motley to .Mr, Kevvnrl
I.F.OATION Ol' llIK. USITKD STATKS. VIENNA,
Tec. 11, IMifl. lion. William II. Seward, secre
tary of State sir: An Hour or two ngo I re
ceived a letter from you, dated 21st of Novem
ber, lRtiii, to which I hasten to reply. You in
form me that a citizen of the United States has
addressed a letter to the President from Paris,
stating that in the course of the last year "he
had had occasion to see something of our Minis
ters and Consuls in various countries; that most
of those whom ho met were bitterly hostile to
the President and his administration, and ex
pressed that hostility in so open a manner as to
jistonish Americans, and to leave a very bud
impression ou Europeans."
With this opening paragraph, relating gene
rally to the United tstatos Ministers and Consuls
abroad, I have nothing ospecial to do, other
gentlemen, are fully competent to answer for
themselves. You proceed to say: "He adds
that you do not pretend to conceal your disgust,
tis he says you style it, at the President's wiiolo
conduct; that you despiso American demo
cracy, and loudly proclaim ttiat an English
gentleman is the model of human perfection;
mat the President has deserted his pledges and
principles, in common with Mr. Howard, who,
yon say, is hopelessly degraded." You conclude
by requesting me to deny or confirm the truth
of these reports.
My first Impulse on rending tho letter was to
content myself with a flat denial of their truth.
On a little further reflection, however, I do not
wish that there should be doubt as to my poli
tical sentiments. As a representative 'of the
foreign policy of tho Government I have done
jny best faithfully to discharge my duties in
' htrict conformity wi'h my instructions. In the
conflict of opinions In regard to home ques
tions, especially that of reconstruction, my
views have never been risked for by the United
States Government, and 1 should have consi
dered it unbecoming and superfluous to volun
teer a public declaration of them; as certainly
I should have deemed it my duty to express
them frankly whenever they were oflielally
demanded. I do not understand that I am
even now directly questioned on the subject,
but after reading your lutler, I owe it to myself
to say a few words.
I have always believed It necessary that
strong guaranties should bo taken against the
recurrence of the Rebellion, and ttmrc-est.nk-lishment
of some form of slavery, before the
seceded States should be readmitted to repre
sentation in Congress. Latterly I have in
clined to the opinion that tho noblest and tho
alest course would be by amendment to tho
Constitution, prohibiting distinction of race, or
color In regard to tho attainment of the fran
chise, together with a general amnesty to bo
pronounced by tho Presideut. Those opinions,
In the privacy of my own household, and to
occasional American visitors, I have not con
cealed. Hie great question now present. ng
itself for solution demands the conscientious
scrutiny of every American who loves his
country, nnd believes iu the human progress of
which that country is one of the foremost re
presentatives. 1 have never thought, during my residence at
V ienna, that because 1 have the honor of being
public servant of the American people, I am
deprived of the right of discussing, within my
own walls, the grave subjects that can Interest
freemen. A minister of the Unitod states does
not ceaso to be a citizen of the United States, as
deeply interested as others in all that etlects
the welfare of his country.
In conversation with such of my colleagues
or members of tho Government here, as were
Interested In our politics I havo uniformly
stated that the conflict of opinions now pre
vailing in tho United states, was inevitable iu
a free country; that such discussions were tho
very evidences of our freedom mid of our capa
city to govern ourselves; that to silence discus
sion belonged to despots, not to a republican
government like ours, and that I had entire
""" mat inn American people would ulll
Trmtniw ui.it a m .i.. . i . . ...
rnately settle- all disputed questions with jus
: nt niV ulwnv8 ' cautious, however, In
Htich considerations, to avoid any expsessions
uuilhiiui uurrtuuiir, were Tr, ,n B,.l l i
was made to the ballot-box " i'i."
I have steadily expressed theoolnlon that tho
President and Congress would be reconciled
after the people should have nrommn'eod their
solemn verdict, and I have addM that all our
lies in the United States, as I believed lioneniv
desired and required the re-establishment of
the Union, however they might diilor as to tho
wisest means of securing It. This is the wav in
which 1 have been in the habit of speaking
olllcially or seini-olliclally; and this Is my reply
to the charges contained in your letter, so tir
as they regard in any way the Presideut of the
United Siutes. That "1 despiso American de.
mocracy, and loudly proclaim that an English
gentleman is the model of human perfection,"
is so pitiful a lubrication that I blush while I
denounce it.
Anyone personally ncoiiainled with me or
who has taken the troublo to read my writings,
whether olllelal or historical, must know that a
more fervent believer in American democracy
than I am does not exist in the world. My ex
ressions of reverence for tho American people
during these five heroic years have erred If at
all on the side of enthusiasm, aiM have often
Keemed to the skeptical some whut f-xravagaiit. I
Bcorn to dwell longer on thu con tenipubie charge.
That I havo culled "Mr. Seward hopelesM.v
degraded" is a vile calumny, and it wounds mo
deeply that you could listen for a moment to
Mich afulsebood. In conclusion, I have only to
dd, that I Ijl'g herewith respectfully to resign
jny postal United States Minister at Vionua,
Jam, sir, your obedient servant,

em batriisments.
Amontr recent improvements In our ex
changes we notice the new typographical dress
of the New York Tritium; the enlargement and
new type ol the Chicago licuWiran, the new
drew of the Hayton Union and Moore's Rural
AVifl Yorker, and the enlirenient of the Scien
tific Amrttcan. the Cincinnati Ja."oric Jteticw,

given to tie new series just commenced of the
Unitarian paper bcrctoiorc known as the Chris
tian Inquirer, It is published in New York, and
proposes now to occupy a wider li'dd, as its
broader title implies, and to eniist fresh con
tii but ors In adcith n to the old writers. Among
the former we notice l"y. Ir. Chapiu andoiner
prominent L'niveisaiisr,
Ol edit rial per-ona! cos-dp there Ik but little
current at tuis time. Ju New York, Mr. Croly
js new managintr editor ol the World, and Mr.
Chan: fei la in hii'l Mr. Hurlbu are -"among the
writer-. Mr. Noidhor! and Mr. Maverick are
editing the J'cf. Mr. Dewey, Mr. Dod worth,
Mr. .ludd. and Mr. Carey lire leading- writers
tipoii the Commercial Advertiser. Mr. Prime
and Mr. stone ate the editors ol the Journal of
Cvtiuiiicc. In the 1trald olliee great changes
have been recently made on account, of the dis
covf ry of a ''ring'' lo) nied to sell special news
to Western papers, which vi broken up by the
discharge of its leaders. .r. Ilo.-iner is now
managing editor, and C1ii1ps II. Farrell city
editor. II. Millard, of Buffalo, has become one
ot the editors of the 1'uif, Field, and. Farm.
Tne Ierald's stalf is numerically the largest,
the 'j rthunei the most thoroughly organized,
the 'I huts doin' its work with (ewer hands.
The hi-raid enjoys the reputation of bein the
most liberal to its ea-tial contributors and cor
respondents; the Jinus pays contributors well,
lurnishes tbe law reports, and ues its ex
changes diligently, but lacks enterprise in the
matter of forcitnVorrc-pondtnce. The Irdaon,
on the other hand, is niggardly to i'.s contribu
tors. out liberal to its ioreign correpon dents,
ot whom ii has a most efticient corps. The other
morning papers tbe World, Journal ot' f'om
mtree, f.nd Lady XeicFnre conducted more
economically, the Journal ot Commerce being,
perhaps the only one that can be called protita
ble. The expenses of the evening; papers arc
light in comparison.
J. L. McCreery, late of the Dubuque Times,
has become agent of the .'ortnrestern Press at
Chicago. Kev. Julius II. Ward, tne biographer
of I'ercival, is to take the editorial chair ot the
Connecticut Churchman. W. H. Hallowuy has
become one of the editors of the Indianapolis
Journal. General Dan Mucauley has resigned
the editorial chair ot the Indianapolis Gazette.
"Jennie June"' has become the fashion corres
ponrtent" at New York ot several of the Western
journals. W. H. Burleigh is at present New
York correspondent of the Chicago I'ost, Hor
sey Gardner writes tho literary notes of the
Jiound Table, and liugene Schuyler for the
Nation. Lieutenant Gcoige A. Marden, of New
Hampshire, has accepted a position upon the
editorial staff of the Boston Advertiser.
The Ecan(jeiiFtmy Mr. II. C. Bowen is not sole
proprietor oi the Independent. Albert Pike, it
is said, has become associated with the editorial
department of tho Memphis Appca'. W. H.
Kins has retired irom ins editorial connection
with the Lafayette (Ind. Journal. Daniel W.
Kiske, of the Syracuse Journal and formerly of
the Asior Library, has become editor of the
Hartford Courant and Tress. W. Dexter Smith,
Jr., of Boston, is to assume the editorial charge
of the Orpheus, a monthly musical journal, pub
lished by Russell & Co., of that. city. Mr. Smith
is quite well known as the author of several
popular songs.
The publishers of the Cincinnati Commercia'
recently purchased the manuscript ot a new
novel by Anthony Trollope, to be published in
the Sunday Commercial. They paid JlD.DtJl) for
It. The New York Tribune, ha negotiated with
Charles Dickens to furnish a novel for that
paper for $2.1.0(10. The Tribune has also given
Thomas Catlvle omi hundred and fifty guineas
in gold to write an essay to fill one page ot the
'irihuiK.
A. New York Herald reporter's thirst for news
has led him to commit a telouy. In the trial of
ihe Fenians at Sweetsburg, Canada, on the Kith
instant, Mr. Devlin, ot the counsel for the
prisoners, stated that he ha t prepared seventy
pleas to the thirty-five indictments; but that,
unfortunately, he was then only able to tile Uvo
or six of them, the remainder haviug been ab
stracted from his drawer. The trial was, there
fore, suspended for one day. Meantime, Consul
General Averill, at Montreal, was telegraphed
to to cau-e the arrest of the Herald reporter,
who wna known to he on the wav thither. The
arrest was accordingly made, and upon a search
of the enterprising reporter's baggage, the min
ing documents were recovered.
The most extraordinary newspaper success of
the age is the Puris Fventment, which iu ten
months has attained a circulation ot 4S.0OO
copies. In these ten months it is calculated
that $100,000 have been paid for paper, and that
ijvlO.OOO have been spent among publishers for
books eiveu as premiums to subscribers.
Twenty-eight thousand dollars have been paid
to the dillcrent writer.- engaged ou the paper;
101 persons are employed in the olliee of the
paper aud in the printing department. There are
20 compositors, 2 correctors. .'tercot.vpers, 31
pressmen, 4.1 carrleis. W clerks, r(i folders and
1 porters. Takiug, iu addition to the above,
the ditlt rcut people w ho, in Pari au1 the pro
